The description focuses on the hardware (detector, scintillator, photo detectors) and basic digital conversion. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond simple signal conversion. The software is stated to be unchanged from the predicate, and the firmware changes are related to battery and wireless communication, not AI/ML functionality.
No
The device is described as a digital X-ray flat panel detector for general radiographic diagnosis, which is used for imaging and not for therapy.
Yes
The intended use explicitly states, "The CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe detector is indicated for digital imaging solution designed for providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This indicates its role in diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "digital X-ray flat panel detector" with a physical imaging area and components like a scintillator and photo detectors, indicating it is a hardware device. While it includes software and firmware, it is not solely 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 "providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This involves imaging the internal structures of the body using X-rays.
- Device Description: The device is described as a "digital X-ray flat panel detector" that captures X-ray photons and converts them into digital images.
- Function: The device's function is to create images for diagnostic purposes, not to perform tests on biological samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body, which is the hallmark of an IVD.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is an imaging device used directly on the patient.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe 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 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe detector is a class of digital X-ray flat panel detector that has an imaging area of 430mm×430mm×356mm. The detector communicates with wireless and an optional wired communication feature (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 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe is unchanged from the predicate. And the API for the digital detector CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe is the same as that for the predicate device. Besides, there are only minor differences between the firmware for the CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe and predicate device except to support battery supply and wireless communication.
Generally, CareView 1800Cwe is the same as the cleared product, CareView 1800Le except the wireless function. And CareView 1500Cwe is the same as the cleared product, CareView 1800Le except the wireless function and dimension.

Dear Leilei Li:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

- 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.
- X-ray exposure mode
CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe supported typical sync mode contains soft sync, manual sync and F²AED modes.
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.
Nonclinical and clinical considerations
The proposed device (CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe) and predicate device (CareView 1800Le) share most of primary product specifications including intended use, technology, material, and imaging principle, power supply method etc. The only difference is the wireless function and dimension.
The difference of wireless function and dimension don'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 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe X-ray flat panel detector is substantially equivalent to predicate device CareView 1800Le(K193173). Both propose and predicate devices are same in the intended use, the design principle, the applicable standards and specification. Some characteristics, for example, wireless function and dimension are 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.,
9
Ltd. concludes the CareView 1800Cwe/ CareView 1500Cwe X-ray flat panel detector is substantially equivalent with the predicate device CareView 1800Le(K193173).
