Intended Use
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.
Device Description
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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a digital X-ray detector that converts X-ray photons into electrical signals to create an image. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies. The changes from the predicate device are limited to pixel size.

No.
The device is indicated for digital imaging and diagnosis, which means it aids in identifying medical conditions rather than treating them.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the detector is "indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This explicitly indicates its use for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details a physical flat panel detector that intercepts X-ray photons and converts them into electrical signals, which are then digitized and displayed. This involves significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This describes a device used for in vivo imaging (imaging within the living body), not in vitro testing (testing of samples outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device captures X-ray photons and converts them into digital images of the human anatomy. This process is consistent with medical imaging, not laboratory diagnostics.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Care View 1800Le detector is a medical imaging device, not an IVD.

8. System requirements to operate with other radiographic system components

The submitted medical device is the CareView 1800Le digital detector. The other x-ray system components referred below are for information purpose only.

    1. Recommended Generator Specification:
    • Energy range: 40~150kVp

mA range: 10~1000mA (depending on the generator power)

ms range: 106300ms to produce 0.11000mAs (depending on the generator power)

Note: To our best knowledge, the detector is compatible with the X-ray generators with the specifications described above. If you have questions regarding the compatibility issue for other generators, please contact your distributor or CareRay.

    1. Application Program Interface (API) for system integration manufacturer
      Peripheral hardware: CareView detector connected via wired communication.

CPU: Intel (R) Core (TM) 2 Duo, 2.93GHz or above

RAM: 6 GB or higher

Hard disk: 80 GB or higher

Monitor: 1280 x 1024 or higher

OS: Windows XP or Windows 7 or Windows 10

  • Development environment: MS Visual Studio 2005
    1. X-ray exposure mode

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).
