The device is designed to perform radiographic x-ray examinations on pediatric and adult patients treatment areas.

Device Description

The Rover product concept was developed under a contract from the Australian Department of Defense to fulfil a need for a full performance digital medical x-ray imager, light enough to be used in deployed medical facilities. Key Design Features:

  • Full trauma imaging capability 40-110kV, 0.2-20mAs;
  • Ultra-light weight at 105 kg;
  • Ground Clearance allows for 75mm step up;
  • Operation on uneven ground;
  • Spare battery tray swap out in under a minute;
    The unit uses FDA cleared digital image capture panels and software made by FujiFilm.
AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the "Rover" mobile x-ray system. It details the device's technical specifications and compares it to a legally marketed predicate device (DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System). The acceptance criteria and testing described are focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing device, rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria for an AI/ML-based device.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria related to AI/ML device performance, ground truth establishment, expert adjudication, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.

Here's why the document doesn't provide the requested information and what it does provide:

  • Device Type: The Rover is a mobile x-ray system, a physical medical device for capturing x-ray images. It uses FDA-cleared digital image capture panels and software (specifically, Fujifilm and Fuji FDX Console Advance DR-ID 300CL Software) which are themselves "previously cleared." This submission is about the system integrating these components, not about a novel AI/ML algorithm for image analysis or diagnosis.
  • Basis for Clearance: The basis for clearance is "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, focusing on functional, technical, and safety equivalence of the hardware and integrated pre-cleared software.
  • Testing: The testing detailed is primarily non-clinical bench testing to confirm proper system operation and safety standards compliance (e.g., IEC standards, radiation performance, cybersecurity, wireless technology).
  • Clinical Testing: The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was not required to establish substantial equivalence because all digital x-ray receptor panels have had previous FDA clearance." This means no new clinical data (and thus no associated ground truth, expert reads, or AI performance metrics) was generated for this specific 510(k) submission.

Summary of what is present in the document that somewhat relates to the request, but not in the context of AI/ML acceptance criteria:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    • Acceptance Criteria (Implicit): Substantial equivalence to the predicate device in terms of indications for use, configuration, generator specifications, panel interfaces, and meeting US performance standards (21 CFR 1020.30 and 21 CFR 1020.31). Also, compliance with various IEC standards (60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-3, 60601-1-6, 60601-2-28, 60601-2-54).
    • Reported Device Performance: The "Substantial Equivalence Chart" (page 5) compares the Rover to the predicate, showing "SAME" or "Equivalent" for most characteristics. "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." (page 6)
  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable in the context of AI/ML performance testing. Testing was system-level functional and safety verification.

  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable. Ground truth for image interpretation was not established as part of this submission. The software components were previously cleared.

  4. Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.

  5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done: No, an MRMC study was not done.

  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: No, as this is a mobile x-ray system, not a standalone AI algorithm. The imaging software used is a pre-cleared component.

  7. The type of ground truth used: Not applicable for AI/ML performance. The "ground truth" for the device's acceptable performance was its compliance with safety standards and its ability to produce diagnostic quality images comparable to the predicate, as verified through bench testing.

  8. The sample size for the training set: Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.

  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

In conclusion, the document describes the clearance of a medical device (a mobile X-ray system) based on substantial equivalence to a predicate, not the performance claims of a novel AI/ML-based diagnostic or analytical tool. Therefore, it does not provide the specific information requested about acceptance criteria and studies for AI/ML device performance.

6) Substantial Equivalence Chart

{5}------------------------------------------------

    1. 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.
    1. Summary of non-clinical testing: Systems covering all generator/panel combinations were assembled and tested and found to be operating properly. Software was validated according to the FDA Guidance: 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 Document Issued on: October 2, 2014. The digital panel software employed was already reviewed by FDA. Labeling was developed and information provided in accordance with this FDA Guidance Document: Pediatric Information for X-ray Imaging Device Premarket Notifications, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff, November 2017. Labeling also includes reference to the Image Gently website (http://www.imageqently.org/). Because the device contains wireless technology, we consulted Radio Frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices - Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, AUGUST 2013 and we incorporated those recommendations into our labeling.

The Rover Battery Mobile X-Ray Units have been tested to be in compliance with the following Standards:

US Performance Standard for Diagnostic X-Ray Systems: 21 CFR 1020.30 AND 21 CFR 1020.31.
