Intended Use
The Discovery XR656 HD is intended to generate digital radiographic images of the skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen. extremities, and other body parts in patients of all ages. Applications can be performed with the patient sitting, standing. or lying in the prone or supine position and the system is intended for use in all routine radiography exams. Optional image pasting function enables the operator to stitch sequentially acquired radiographs into a single image. The Discovery XR656 HD incorporates AutoGrid, which is an optional image processing software installed as a part of the systems Helix image processing software. AutoGrid can be used in lieu of an anti-scatter grid to improve image contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter radiation. When the VolumeRAD option is included on the system can generate tomographic images of human anatomy including the skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body parts in patients of all ages. When the VolumeRAD option is used for patients undergoing thoracic imaging, it is indicated for the detection of lung nodules. VolumeRad generates diagnostic images of the radiologist in achieving superior detectability of lung nodules versus posterior and left lateral views of the chest, at a comparable radiation level. The device is not intended for mammographic applications.

This 510(k) is to incorporate the VolumeRad advanced application that was currently available on the Discovery XR656 product onto the Discovery XR656 HD, as well as introduce a new Metal Artifact Reduction Algorithm, and an optional standalone console to take any Helix™ acquired images via DICOM (such as from a Discovery XR656 HD, Optima XR646 HD, or Optima XR240amx) and process the images independently of the system it was acquired on.
More Information

No
The document describes standard image processing techniques (AutoGrid, image pasting, Metal Artifact Reduction Algorithm) and digital radiography technology. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning-based algorithms.

No.
Explanation: The device is an X-ray system intended to generate diagnostic radiographic and tomographic images, which is used for diagnosis, not therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended to generate digital radiographic and tomographic images for the skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body parts, which are used for diagnostic purposes, specifically mentioning "diagnostic images" and detection of "lung nodules".

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components including an Overhead Tube Suspension, wallstand, Table, X-ray generator, and wireless digital detectors. While it includes software features like image processing and an optional standalone console for image processing, it is fundamentally an X-ray system with physical hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for generating digital radiographic images of various body parts in patients. This is a diagnostic imaging device used on the patient, not a device used to test samples from the patient in a laboratory setting.
  • Device Description: The description details components of an X-ray system (tube, wallstand, table, generator, detectors). This aligns with diagnostic imaging equipment, not IVD equipment.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, calibrators, or controls, which are typical components and uses of IVD devices.

The device is a diagnostic imaging system that uses X-rays to create images for medical diagnosis. While it is used for diagnostic purposes, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The subject of this premarket submission, Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence for the changes identified. The additional detector used to verify and validate the Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad was the Varex Imaging Corporation XRpad2 4343 HWC-M Flat Panel Detector cleared under K181526. The fundamental algorithm to create the VolumeRad image set is identical to the algorithm cleared under K132261, so it was determined that bench testing was sufficient to show the equivalence between the use of this feature on the Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad and the predicate Discovery XR656 products. The introduction of the Metal Artifact Reduction algorithm for the VolumeRad images was also evaluated, and it was determined that bench testing using anthropomorphic phantoms was sufficient to provide evidence that it can reduce the ripple and ghost metal artifacts for VolumeRad images acquired with the Discovery XR656 HD product. Design verification and validation testing was performed to confirm that the safety and effectiveness of the device has not been affected. The test plans and results have been executed with acceptable results.

Device Description:The Discovery XR656 HD Radiography X-ray System is designed as a modular
system with components that include an Overhead Tube Suspension with
tube/collimator, wallstand, Table, X-ray generator, and cleared wireless digital
detectors. The list of detectors verified and validated for use with the Discovery
XR656 HD system, including their specifications, are provided in the user
documentation. The System generates diagnostic radiographic images which can
be sent through a DICOM network for applications including printing, viewing, and
storage.
The components may be combined in different configurations to meet specific
customer needs. In addition, upgrade configurations are available for predicate
devices.
The optional image pasting function enables the operator to stitch sequentially
acquired radiographs into a single image.
This 510(k) is to incorporate the VolumeRad advanced application that was
currently available on the Discovery XR656 product onto the Discovery XR656 HD,
as well as introduce a new Metal Artifact Reduction Algorithm, and an optional
standalone console to take any Helix™ acquired images via DICOM (such as from a
Discovery XR656 HD, Optima XR646 HD, or Optima XR240amx) and process the
images independently of the system it was acquired on.
Intended Use:General Purpose Digital Radiographic Imaging System
Indications for Use:The Discovery XR656 HD is intended to generate digital radiographic images of the
skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body parts in patients
of all ages. Applications can be performed with the patient sitting, standing, or
lying in the prone or supine position and the system is intended for use in all
routine radiography exams. Optional image pasting function enables the operator
to stitch sequentially acquired radiographs into a single image.
The Discovery XR656 HD incorporates AutoGrid, which is an optional image
processing software installed as a part of the systems Helix image processing
software. AutoGrid can be used in lieu of an anti-scatter grid to improve image
contrast in general radiographic images by reducing the effects of scatter
radiation.
When the VolumeRAD option is included on the system, the system can generate
tomographic images of human anatomy including the skull, spinal column, chest,
abdomen, extremities, and other body parts in patients of all ages.
When the VolumeRAD option is used for patients undergoing thoracic imaging, it is
indicated for the detection of lung nodules. VolumeRad generates diagnostic
images of the chest that aid the radiologist in achieving superior detectability of
lung nodules versus posterior-anterior and left lateral views of the chest, at a
comparable radiation level.
The device is not intended for mammographic applications.
Technology:The Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad employs the same fundamental
scientific technology and software as its predicate devices. The intended use and
patient populations are the same between Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad
and the predicate devices. The indication for use has been updated to include the
VolumeRad indications cleared under K132261, as well as the AutoGrid indications
cleared under reference device Optima XR240amx with AutoGrid (K173602). The
incorporation of the AutoGrid feature is due to the Optima XR240amx and the
Discovery XR656 HD both incorporating the Helix™ image processing software,
and AutoGrid is embedded within this software. The AutoGrid option is only
available for Digital Cassette exposures (when the detector is not docked in the
table or wallstand), and when a physical grid is required per the protocol database,
but not detected as present. AutoGrid is not intended to be applied when a
physical grid has been used to acquire an image. The Discovery XR656 HD with
VolumeRad did not change the system software architecture, operator I/F, Tube,
or generator. It does incorporate the same 6-axis Overhead Tube Suspension
(OTS) and Overhead Bridge that enables the automatic positioning feature and
image pasting technique.
The differences being introduced are:
1. The incorporation of the VolumeRad feature previously available with the
Discovery XR656 (K132261) into the Discovery XR656 HD product
2. An additional Metal Artifact Reduction algorithm for VolumeRad.
3. Helix™ Workstation.
The VolumeRad feature allows digital tomographic images of the human body in
patients either lying down or standing. Volume RAD involves a series of up to 60
very low dose projection images during a single sweep of the overhead tube
assembly (OTS) with the detectors physically docked in the table or wallstand
and the tube moving within a limited angular range (up to 40 degrees). The
system automatically adjusts collimation throughout the sweep to maintain
radiation in the imaging area selected during exam setup. After a VolumeRad
acquisition, the system uses a filtered back projection (FBP) technique to
reconstruct slices down to a minimum thickness of 1mm parallel to the receptor.
The VolumeRad OTS sweep and image reconstruction algorithms are identical
between the predicate and proposed products. The difference introduced was in
the image acquisition due to the detector resolution change between the
Discovery XR656 and the Discovery XR656 HD products. Also, the Discovery XR656
HD with VolumeRad provides an optional Metal Artifact Reduction algorithm to
reduce the ripple and ghost artifacts created when metal is present within the
anatomy where the images are acquired.
The Helix™ Workstation incorporates the PC, Monitor, and software of the
Discovery XR656 HD and can be used as a standalone console to take any Helix™
acquired images via DICOM (such as from a Discovery XR656 HD, Optima XR646
HD, or Optima XR240amx) and process the images independently of the system it
was acquired on. The images can then be sent via DICOM to a PACS or other
image review station.

Summary of Clinical Tests:
The subject of this premarket submission, Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad,
did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence for the changes
identified. The additional detector used to verify and validate the Discovery XR656
HD with VolumeRad was the Varex Imaging Corporation XRpad2 4343 HWC-M Flat
Panel Detector cleared under K181526. The fundamental algorithm to create the
VolumeRad image set is identical to the algorithm cleared under K132261, so it
was determined that bench testing was sufficient to show the equivalence
between the use of this feature on the Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad and
the predicate Discovery XR656 products. The introduction of the Metal Artifact
Reduction algorithm for the VolumeRad images was also evaluated, and it was
determined that bench testing using anthropomorphic phantoms was sufficient to
provide evidence that it can reduce the ripple and ghost metal artifacts for
VolumeRad images acquired with the Discovery XR656 HD product.
Design verification and validation testing was performed to confirm that the safety
and effectiveness of the device has not been affected. The test plans and results
have been executed with acceptable results.
Conclusion:The changes identified for the Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad do not result
in any new potential safety risks, it has the same technological characteristics, and
perform as well as the devices currently on the market.
After analyzing design verification and validation testing on the bench it is the
conclusion of GE Healthcare that the Discovery XR656 HD with VolumeRad to be as
safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate
devices.
