No
The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a high frequency generator, wireless detector, and workstation on a touchscreen notebook or tablet, indicating it is a physical medical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a mobile X-ray unit used for taking radiographic exposures of various body parts. This is an in vivo imaging technique, meaning it is performed on a living organism.
- Intended Use: The intended use describes taking diagnostic radiographic exposures, which is a form of medical imaging, not an in vitro test.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the technical aspects of an X-ray generator, detector, and workstation, all components of an imaging system.
- Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements associated with in vitro testing.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

- The technological characteristics, including design, materials, composition, and energy source, are substantially the same, so there are no issues impacting safety and effectiveness. Safety and Effectiveness, comparison to predicate device. The results of bench testing indicate that the new devices are as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Proper system operation is fully verified upon installation. We verified that the modified combination of components worked properly and produced diagnostic quality images as good as our predicate generator/panel combination. Regarding the power level of the generator compared to the predicate: Our maximum power level is 12% lower than the predicate, however the power offered is more than sufficient to perform chest and other demanding imaging. For example, a typical adult chest x-ray can be done at 100-120 kVp at 4-8 mAs, well within the capability of the generator. Thus the proposed device can perform the same range of exams that the predicate can perform. The OEM manufacturer of the predicate device offers 20 and 32 kW versions of the same device.
-
- Summary of non-clinical testing: Systems covering all generator/panel combinations were assembled and tested and found to be operating properly. Firmware was validated according to the FDA Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices Document issued on: May 11, 2005. Because the system uses Wi-Fi and Ethernet, we observed the recommendations contained in the FDA Guidance Document: Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. In addition, we reviewed the FDA guidance Pediatric Information for X-ray Imaging Device Premarket Notifications Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff and added a supplement to our user manual. We also reviewed and implemented the recommendations of other FDA source material at the Image Gently website (http://www.imagegently.org/) and the resources in FDA's Pediatric X-ray Imaging webpage (http://www.fda.gov/Radiation-
