AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a dental X-ray device, the EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300). This submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device, rather than proving performance against novel acceptance criteria through a full-fledged clinical study.

Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study to prove device performance as a new device is not directly applicable or available in the provided text. The document primarily details bench testing to confirm that changes to an existing device do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Here's an analysis based on the available information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document describes bench testing and does not refer to a "test set" in the context of patient data or images. The "test set" would be the physical device itself and its components tested in a lab setting. The provenance of this test data (i.e., whether the bench tests were conducted in a particular country) is not specified. The testing is not based on a retrospective or prospective study with human subjects.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications

Not applicable. Ground truth for image interpretation or disease diagnosis is not relevant in this type of bench testing. The "ground truth" for the performance tests comes from the established physical standards (e.g., 21 CFR 1020.30, 21 CFR 1020.31, IEC 60601 series). The experts involved would be engineers and physicists performing the standard compliance tests, not medical professionals establishing diagnostic ground truth from images.

4. Adjudication Method (for the test set)

Not applicable. There is no "adjudication method" in the context of diagnostic interpretation mentioned. The compliance of the device with technical standards is determined by direct measurement and comparison to defined thresholds.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done

No. An MRMC study is designed to assess the performance of human readers, often with and without AI assistance, on diagnostic tasks involving patient cases. This document focuses on the technical safety and performance of an X-ray source, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and therefore no MRMC study was conducted or is relevant.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done

Not applicable. The EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300) is an X-ray generating device, not an algorithm or AI product. Its performance is measured by its ability to produce X-rays according to specified technical parameters, not by an algorithm's diagnostic accuracy.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

The ground truth used for the device's technical performance is based on established regulatory and international standards for medical X-ray equipment. This includes:

  • Physical measurements (e.g., focal spot to skin distance, leakage radiation).
  • Electrical and X-ray beam parameters (e.g., kVp accuracy, Air KERMA reproducibility, HVL, X-ray field limitation).
  • Safety standards (e.g., battery safety per IEC 62133).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This device does not involve a "training set" as it is hardware, not a machine learning model.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

9. Performance Data

- Summary of Performance Testing

The performance test for the subject device, EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300)and the predicate device, VEX-P300 (K161063) confirmed that the focal spot to skin distance for both devices were longer than the minimum length of 20 cm. Accuracy of loading factors and reproducibility of Air KERMA for both X-ray systems also met the essential performance requirements (ex. kVp ≤ ±10 %). Both devices demonstrated similar performance outcomes in terms of HVL, limitation of the x-ray field and leakage radiation test which rendered satisfactory X-ray performance results in accordance with Federal Standard (21CFR 1020.30 and 31) requirements.

- Safety, EMC and Performance Data

The subject device complies with the safety and performance standards listed in the chart above, 'Substantial Equivalence Chart'. Test reports were provided to demonstrate conformance. All test results were complied with the requirements.

10. The differences between the subject device and the predicate device

EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300) described in this special 510(k) is same as the predicate device in its indications for use, design, technology, functions, and principle of operation. The differences are as follows:

(1) Energy source

Subject device-Rechargeable 21.6 V DC Li-ion polymer battery pack (Nominal Capacity: 2,500 mAh) Predicate device-Rechargeable 22.2 V DC Li-ion polymer battery pack (Nominal Capacity: 1,000 mAh or 900 mAh)

EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300)receives power from the built-in rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery pack. The batter pack has been updated to 21.6 V DC compared to the 22.2 V DC of the predicate device (K161063). The battery's nominal capacity has also been increased from 1,000 mAh to take more radiographic images per charge. Rechargeable 21.6 V DC Li-ion polymer battery pack with increased capacity has been tested and is in conformity with the standard IEC 62133(Secondary cells and batteries containing alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – Safety requirements for portable sealed secondary cells, and for batteries made from them, for use in portable applications )

(2) Exposure time

Subject device-0.05 - 1.0 seconds in 0.01 increments Predicate device-0.05 - 0.5 seconds in 0.01 increments

The irradiation time of EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300), the subject device, ranges 0.05~1.0 seconds compared to 0.05-0.5 seconds for the predicate device (EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300) – K161063). The increase of the maximum exposure time by 0.5 seconds would enable the users to choose a phosphor plate as well as a digital sensor as an intra oral X-ray receptor for convenience. The increased irradiation time has been tested and validated through the following tests: Accuracy of loading factors, HVL and Total filtration, limitation of the x-ray field, reproducibility of Air KERMA, Linearity of AIR KERMA and leakage radiation test. All test results are in compliance with Federal Standard (21CFR 1020.30 and 31) requirements.

{7}------------------------------------------------

The Performance Bench Testing demonstrated that these differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness in comparison with the predicate device.

11. Conclusions

The subject device and the predicate device have same indications for use and demonstrated similar design, technology, functions, and principle of operation. As demonstrated in the performance bench testing, X-ray performance and X-ray Safety and Image evaluation of the new and predicate devices were tested in accordance with Federal standard 21CFR Part 1020.30 and 31 as well as international standards such as IEC 60601-1, 60601-2-65, and 61223-3-4. Both the subject and predicate devices met the essential performance parameters including accuracy of loading factors, Reproducibility of Air KERMA, Focal Spot to Skin Distance, Leakage radiation, and Low Contrast & Line Pair performance requirements.

Quality assurance procedures are adhered to, and the specifications and functional requirements were met as the test results indicated.

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification. VATECH Co., Ltd. concludes that EzRay Air Portable (Model: VEX-P300) is substantially equivalent to predicate device as described herein.
