The summary focuses on hardware and software components for radiation dose reduction through filtering and ROI definition, with no mention of AI/ML terms, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.
No.
The device is indicated for providing imaging and reducing radiation exposure during procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "indicated to provide fluoroscopic and spot-film imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures." This explicitly mentions diagnostic procedures.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a "ControlRad Trace Tablet," "ControlRad Trace Filter," and "ControlRad Hardware," in addition to software and firmware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 is an accessory for an X-ray system (OEC® 9900 Elite). Its primary function is to reduce radiation exposure during imaging procedures by modulating the X-ray beam.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "fluoroscopic and spot-film imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures." This involves imaging the patient directly, not analyzing samples taken from the patient.
The device is a medical device used in conjunction with an imaging system, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Indications for Use
The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9, when used with OEC® 9900 Elite, is indicated to provide fluoroscopic and spot-film imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surgical, and interventional procedures while reducing patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad Trace's region of interest (ROI) as compared to OEC® 9900 Elite noncollimated image area.1 The ControlRad Trace semi-transparent filter should not be used in lieu of the OEC® 9900 Elite's collimators, as they block the most radiation, but can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so. Clinical applications may include cholangiography, endoscopic, urologic, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, critical care and emergency room procedures.
1 Relative to open Field of View (FOV), the ControlRad Trace Model 9 reduces at least 50% of the Dose Area Product at 50 kVp and ROI with width and length that are smaller than 1/3 the diameter of the full FOV.
Device Description
The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 consists of the following main components: ControlRad Trace Tablet, ControlRad Trace Filter, ControlRad Hardware, ControlRad Software and Firmware Modules and ControlRad Communication Interface all installed on the OEC 9900 Elite. The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 is a system used to assist trained clinicians which is used to provide X-ray images when the clinician performs a medical procedure while reducing the patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad Trace's region of interest (ROI) as compared to the OEC 9900 Elite non-collimated image area. The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so.
Technological Characteristics
The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 consists of the following main components: ControlRad Trace Tablet, ControlRad Trace Filter, ControlRad Hardware, ControlRad Software and Firmware Modules and ControlRad Communication Interface all installed on the OEC 9900 Elite.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for ControlRad. The logo consists of the word "CONTROL" in a bold, sans-serif font, followed by the word "RAD" in a similar font but with a green color. To the right of "RAD" is a stylized green circle, partially enclosing the letters "RAD", with a darker green section at the bottom. There is a trademark symbol to the right of the word "RAD".
The ControlRad" Trace Model 9 components are installed semi-permanently in the cleared GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite (K122234) and operate in parallel to the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite. The removal of the ControlRad™ components will restore the device to OEM specifications.
The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 components provide the following functionalities:
- The CR Trace Tablet provides the user operational control of the ControlRad™ Trace . Model 9 device via a Graphical User Interface ("GUI"). The CR Trace Tablet enables the clinician to select a Region of Interest ("ROI") on the image displayed on the CR Trace Tablet, which is the same image that is displayed on the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite's live monitor.
- . The CR Trace Filter is installed on top of the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite's collimator. The CR Trace Filter does not affect or modify the functionality of the collimator. The CR Trace Filter is a semi-transparent filter which reduces the X-ray radiation outside the clinician-selected ROI, typically by 61% to 97%. The actual dose reduction achieved will depend upon specific imaging parameters such as OEC collimator settings, the kVp and the percentage of the OEC non-collimated image covered by the ControlRad Trace Filter.
- The ControlRad Hardware, Software and Firmware Modules control the ControlRad Trace . Filter's positioning, which is determined by the location of the clinician-selected ROI and perform image processing.
- The ControlRad Communication Interface provides communication between the various . components of the ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 and between the ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 and the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite.
Principles of Operation
The GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite provides an image that its boundaries are defined by the OEC® 9900 Elite's collimator, i.e. the image FOV is defined by the OEC non-collimated region. The image FOV size is not affected or modified by the ControlRad™ Trace Model 9.
Within the OEC® 9900 Elite non-collimated image region, when using a clinician selected Region of Interest ("ROI") on the ControlRad Trace Tablet, the ControlRad Trace Filters reduce radiation exposure outside the ROI. The resulting image has two parts:
- . The image inside the clinician-selected ROI (unfiltered radiation area in the FOV), which has at least the same image quality in the ROI as the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite (K122234); and
6
Image /page/6/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for ControlRad. The logo consists of the word "CONTROL" in a dark teal sans-serif font, followed by "RAD" in a lighter green color. To the right of "RAD" is a circular design with two shades of green, creating a stylized "C" shape. The letters and the circular design are aligned horizontally.
- . The image outside the clinician-selected ROI (filtered radiation area in the FOV), a lowerdose processed image which provides peripheral image context to the ROI.
The GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite's collimator, when used, also reduces radiation emission. However, that collimator reduces radiation emission by blocking the delivery of radiation to the area covered by the collimator. As a result, the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite's image FOV is limited to the non-collimated region. The ControlRad Trace Filter can be used along with the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite's collimator to further reduce radiation emissions, and the additional radiation reduction provided by the ControlRad Trace Filter will be outside the clinician-selected ROI and within the un-collimated region/image FOV.
The clinician has the option not to use the CR Trace Filter. In this case, the GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite operates as if the CR Trace Filter was not present.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate devices
The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 for use with GE Healthcare Surgery's OEC® 9900 Elite has the same intended use and the same indications for use as the cleared predicate. The ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 is identical in construction to the predicate with the only modifications being the design differences to work with OEC® 9900 Elite. The performance data demonstrates that the ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 is at least as safe and effective as the predicate and reference devices and is substantially equivalent to the predicate and reference devices. A comparison table of technological characteristics of the ControlRad™ Trace Model 9 device for use with OEC® 9900 Elite compared to those of the predicates is provided below:
