The Platinum dRF Imaging System is intended to be used as a universal diagnostic imaging system for radiographic and fluoroscopic studies. Using a digital flat detector, it can perform a range of applications including: general radiology and diagnostic fluoroscopy examinations, conventional linear tomography and pediatrics examinations.
The Platinum dRF is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting a pattern of X-ray into a visible image. The system has medical applications ranging from, but not limited to, gastrointestinal, cranial, skeletal, thoracic, lung and urogenital tract examinations.
It may also be used in: lymphography, endoscopy, myelography, venography and arthrography.
The Platinum dRF may also be used for outpatient or emergency services, as well as for mobile transport examinations (wheelchair and bed).
The Platinum dRF is not indicated for use in interventional radiology.
The subject of this Special 510(k) application is the change to the imaging software system to the ADAM Imaging System. As the resources are now available, Apelem-DMS Group was able to develop their own Imaging System called the ADAM Imaging System. The ADAM Imaging System will now be developed by Apelem-DMS Group. The predicate device (K160301) had an Off the Shelf Software Imaging System called DUET DRF Imaging System which was developed by Thales.
The ADAM Imaging System is a digital image acquisition system to be used in conjunction with a detector during radiography or fluoroscopy X-ray examinations to acquire, display, process and export images according to DICOM protocol via a network connection.
The ADAM Imaging System software interfaces with an X-Ray detector to acquire raw pixel data and image processing algorithms which transform raw pixel data into images and image sequences to help medical professionals with viewing images to for patient diagnosis.
The Duet DRF requires the use of the THALES RF4343 FL detectors, whereas ADAM Imaging System requires the use of the VIEWORKS VIVIX-D 1717G detector. Both detectors employ the same state-of-the-art indirect conversion technology based on CsI scintillator and photo-diodes. The detector Vivix-D 1717G is connected to the x-ray system by cable. The integration with the PLATINUM dRF system has been established and appears adequate. The VIEWWORKS VIVIX-D 1717G detector is only compatible with the ADAM Imaging System.
The Duet DRF and ADAM Imaging System are designed to support general radiography (excluding mammography) and fluoroscopy imaging procedures.
The Apelem-DMS Group ADAM Imaging System is not a stand-alone device. It is integrated into the Platinum dRF Imaging System and functions as a platform for FDA cleared or registered components (i.e. generator, panel detector, detector collimator, X-ray tube and software imaging packages), that are installed with a Apelem-DMS Group manufactured radiological examination table, control panel with system controller software, and electrical panel.
The Platinum dRF remote controlled table is a radiologic table equipped with a flat panel electronic detector. This table is used to perform general digital radiological, fluoroscopy and peripheral angiography.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Platinum dRF Imaging System and does not contain detailed information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets those criteria. The document states that the new ADAM Imaging System component changes the internal imaging software and detector, but it does not include performance data or explicit acceptance criteria for image quality, diagnostic accuracy, or clinical effectiveness.
The submission focuses primarily on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K160301) by comparing technical specifications and highlighting that the proposed changes do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. It mentions compliance with various IEC and ISO standards related to medical electrical equipment, software, and risk management, which are general safety and performance standards rather than specific acceptance criteria for a diagnostic imaging study.
Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and performance study details cannot be extracted from this document.
However, based on the available information, here's what can be inferred:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in terms of measurable performance metrics for a diagnostic study. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating that the performance of the new detector (VIEWORKS VIVIX-D 1717G) is "similar enough" or "sufficient" compared to the predicate's detector.
- Reported Device Performance: The document provides technical specifications of the new detector and compares them to the predicate's detector, implying these are the performance characteristics considered.

|---|---|---|---|---|

| Pixel Pitch | Similar to predicate; smaller is generally better | 140µm | 148µm | ADAM Imaging System's detector has a smaller pixel pitch which means better detail detectability. |
| Pixel Matrix | Similar to predicate; larger is generally better | 3072 x 3072 pixels | 2874 x 2840 pixels | Adam Imaging System's detector has a larger pixel matrix which means a larger detection field. |

| Grayscale | Same as predicate | 16 bits | 16 bit | Same |

§ 892.1650 Image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system.
(a)
Identification. An image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting a pattern of x-radiation into a visible image through electronic amplification. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An anthrogram tray or radiology dental tray intended for use with an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9. In addition, when intended as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, the fluoroscopic compression device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
