The Care View 1800Le detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures. This product is not intended for mammography applications.
The CareView 1800Le detector is a class of digital X-ray flat panel detector that has an imaging area of 430mm×430mm. The detector communicates by a wired connection (Giga-bit Ethernet communication mode via connecting the power box). The detector functions by intercepting X-ray photons. Then the scintillator emits visible spectrum photons that illuminate an array of photo detectors (a-Si) that create electrical signals. The electrical signals are then digitally converted to display an image on the monitor. The detector should be connected to a computer and X-ray generator to digitize X-ray images and transfer radiography diagnostics. The x-ray generator, an essential part of a full x-ray system, is not part of the subject medical device. The software that supports the functions of the digital detector CareView 1800Le is unchanged from the predicate. Generally, CareView 1800Le is the same as the cleared product, CareView 1800L except the pixel size. The pixel size of CareView 1800Le is 140 μm, while the CareView 1800L is 154 μm.
The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for the CareView 1800Le X-ray Flat Panel Detectors. This document explicitly states that the device is "substantially equivalent" to a predicate device (CareView 1800L). Substantial equivalence means that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed predicate device, and does not require a full safety and effectiveness evaluation as would be needed for a PMA.
Therefore, the study performed to "prove the device meets the acceptance criteria" is a non-clinical study to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device. There are no acceptance criteria in the sense of specific clinical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity for disease detection) because this is a 510(k) for an X-ray detector, not a diagnostic AI algorithm.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:
1. Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance
The acceptance criteria are implicitly that the proposed device (CareView 1800Le) performs comparably to the predicate device (CareView 1800L) across key technical specifications, and that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The reported device performance is a direct comparison of technical specifications.

2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document describes non-clinical testing rather than a study with a test set of patient cases. The testing focused on technical specifications (e.g., spatial resolution, MTF, DQE). The sample size for these technical measurements is not specified in the summary, but it would typically involve multiple measurements of the device itself under controlled conditions according to relevant standards. There is no information on data provenance relating to patient data as it's not a clinical study in that sense.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. This is not an AI diagnostic device that requires expert-established ground truth on medical images. The measurements of performance metrics like MTF and DQE are objective physical measurements of the detector's imaging capabilities, established through standard metrology.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable, as this is not a clinical study involving human readers or interpretation of results that would require an adjudication method.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
No. This is not an AI device that assists human readers. It is an X-ray flat panel detector.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
Yes, in a sense. The "standalone" performance here refers to the physical and technical performance of the X-ray detector itself. The summary outlines the technical specifications (e.g., pixel pitch, spatial resolution, MTF, DQE) that characterize the device's standalone imaging capabilities. This is the primary subject of the "Nonclinical and clinical considerations" section, which compares these specifications to the predicate device.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
Not applicable in the context of clinical ground truth for disease. The "ground truth" here is the actual physical performance of the device as measured against established engineering and physics standards for X-ray detectors (e.g., line pair patterns for spatial resolution, standardized test objects for MTF/DQE).
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device does not employ a machine learning algorithm that requires a training set of data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable. There is no training set for this device.

The synchronous connection mode is the signal transfer mode between the X-ray generator which sends the X-ray and the detector which receives the X-ray.
CareView 1800Le supported typical sync mode contains external sync, soft sync, manual sync and auto sync containing FFAED mode.
The detector can't provide feedback to the generator to terminate the x-ray exposure.
9. Substantial Equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b) (1) and 807.92(b)(2)]
- A Electrical safety and EMC testing Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to IEC/ES 60601-1 was performed, and EMC testing was also conducted in accordance with IEC/EN 60601-1-2. All test results are satisfactory.
A Nonclinical and clinical considerations
The proposed device (CareView 1800Le) and predicate device (CareView 1800L) share most of primary product specifications including intended use, technology, material, and imaging principle, power supply method etc. The only difference is the pixel size. While the predicate device pixel size is 154 um, the proposed device pixel size is 140 um. The difference of pixel size doesn't affect the technological parameters and clinical images.
10. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b) (3)]
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification, the CareView 1800Le X-ray flat panel detector is substantially equivalent to predicate device CareView 1800L(K153492).
{8}------------------------------------------------
Both propose and predicate devices are same in the intended use, the design principle, the applicable standards and specification. Some characteristics, for example, pixel size is different. However the test reports in this submission documents provide demonstration that this difference doesn't raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, CareRay Digital Medical Technology Co., Ltd. concludes the CareView 1800Le X-ray flat panel detector is substantially equivalent with the predicate device CareView 1800L (K153492).
