Intended Use
The equipment is intended to be used for the fluoroscopy/radiography diagnosis in hospital. The equipment must only be operated by qualified personnel, such as radiography technicians or those with equivalent qualifications. The equipment is used for total patient population. The equipment is NOT intended to be used for Mammography screening. The equipment is NOT intended to be used for interventional procedure. The equipment is used for radiographic, fluoroscopic, angiographic and pediatric examinations. Stored images in the equipment can be used for re-monitoring, image processing, storing to optical media (CD/DVD), and sending to DICOM server. The Tomosynthesis option for the SONIALVISION G4 is intended to generate tomographic images of human anatomy including chest or extremities. Tomosynthesis technique is used to produce a specific cross-sectional plane of the body by reconstruction of tomographic acquisition. The device is not intended for mammographic applications
Device Description
The Shimadzu SONIALVISION G4 is a universal X-ray RF system offering radiographic, fluoroscopic, angiographic and tomosynthesis techniques. Tomosynthesis technique is enabled by additional software option to the digital radiography system of the SONIALVISION G4. The Shimadzu SONIALVISION G4 is floor mounted table, and the system can be configured with Digital Radiography System, X-ray High Voltage Generator, Collimator and X-ray Tube. The purpose of this submission is to introduce an additional compatible digital x-ray receptor panel. This panel is manufactured by Canon. The panel was cleared by FDA for fluoroscopic use in K171194.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard X-ray RF system with tomosynthesis capabilities and mentions image processing, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning or neural networks. The focus is on hardware and basic image manipulation/storage.

No.
The device is clearly stated as being for "fluoroscopy/radiography diagnosis" and "NOT intended to be used for interventional procedure", indicating a diagnostic purpose rather than a therapeutic one.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The equipment is intended to be used for the fluoroscopy/radiography diagnosis in hospital." This directly indicates its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a universal X-ray RF system with hardware components like a floor-mounted table, digital radiography system, X-ray High Voltage Generator, Collimator, X-ray Tube, and a digital x-ray receptor panel. While it mentions a "Tomosynthesis option" enabled by additional software, the core device is a hardware system.

Based on the provided information, this device is NOT an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the equipment is for "fluoroscopy/radiography diagnosis in hospital." This involves imaging the internal structures of the body using X-rays, which is a diagnostic imaging technique performed on the patient, not on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The description details an X-ray RF system, including components like an X-ray tube, generator, and digital receptor panel. These are all components of an imaging system, not a system designed to analyze biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis on biological samples.

The device is a medical imaging device used for diagnostic purposes, but it falls under the category of diagnostic imaging equipment, not in vitro diagnostics.

(a)
Identification. An image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting a pattern of x-radiation into a visible image through electronic amplification. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An anthrogram tray or radiology dental tray intended for use with an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9. In addition, when intended as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, the fluoroscopic compression device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Kamm:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

    1. Summary of non-clinical testing: The additional digital receptor panel was subjected to non-clinical testing by its manufacturer, Canon. See K171194 at: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf17/[K171194](https://510k.innolitics.com/search/K171194).pdf Our own testing consisted of integration testing, taking and evaluation of test images (both moving and still) and risk analysis oriented to the risks of making the panel manufacturer change. The Users Manual was updated, and supplements were added for Pediatric Imaging (FDA Guidance: Pediatric Information for X-ray Imaging Device Premarket Notifications ) and for Cybersecurity (FDA Guidance: Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices.)
    1. Summary of clinical testing: Not applicable. Clinical testing was not deemed to show substantial equivalence. We relied on non-clinical testing and compliance with standards.
    1. Conclusion: After analyzing bench tests, it is the conclusion of Shimadzu Corporation that the MODIFIED SONIALVISION G4 is as safe and effective as the predicate device, has few technological differences, and has the same indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
