Sample size for test set and data provenance: The document is a 510(k) summary, which typically focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence rather than providing detailed clinical study reports. The performance data section describes types of tests conducted (e.g., Impact of Air Kerma, DAP Accuracy, Comparative Image Quality) and generic statements about "verification" that criteria were met. It does not provide specific sample sizes (e.g., number of images, patients, or instances) for any of these tests, nor does it specify the country of origin or whether the data was retrospective or prospective. It only states that "Nonclinical tests were conducted on ControlRad® Select Model Z during product development," implying bench testing rather than clinical data.
-
Number of experts and qualifications: Not specified. The document mentions "clinically relevant" for image quality, but doesn't detail external expert review or qualifications for establishing ground truth on the test set.
-
Adjudication method for test set: Not specified.
-
Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study: Not explicitly mentioned or detailed. The term "Comparative image quality inside/outside the ROI" indicates a comparison to the Artis zee alone, but no details on human readers, effect sizes, or AI assistance are provided. The device described appears to be a hardware/software add-on that reduces radiation while maintaining image quality or providing contextual information, not primarily an AI algorithm for diagnosis.
-
Standalone (algorithm-only) performance: The device is described as an accessory that works with existing fluoroscopic X-ray systems (Siemens Artis zee, OEC 9900 Elite, OEC 9800 Plus) to reduce radiation dose in specific areas while maintaining or providing contextual image quality. Its performance is always in conjunction with the base imaging system; therefore, a purely "standalone" algorithm-only performance is not applicable in the context of this device. The testing focuses on the integrated system's performance.
-
Type of ground truth used: Based on the descriptions of "performance tests," "verification," and "evaluation" against specific metrics (e.g., DAP accuracy, AKR accuracy, image quality compared to the base system), the ground truth appears to be based on physical phantom measurements, quantitative dosimetry, and technical performance metrics as opposed to clinical outcomes or expert consensus on disease presence. For "Comparative image quality," the baseline performance of the unmodified Artis zee system served as a reference. Clinical simulations were mentioned for image quality evaluation, but further details about how "ground truth" was established within those simulations are not provided.
-
Sample size for training set: Not applicable and not mentioned. This device is an accessory that modifies X-ray output and image processing to reduce dose; it is not presented as a machine learning/AI diagnostic system that would typically require a training set of patient data with ground truth labels.
-
How ground truth for training set was established: Not applicable, as no training set for an AI/ML algorithm is described. The software components relate to controlling the filter and image processing, not to learning from data.
ControlRad® Trace Model 9
The information for ControlRad® Trace Model 9 is very similar in structure and detail to the Select Model Z.

ControlRad® Select Model Z Device Description
The ControlRad® Select Model Z is a set of components mounted on the Artis zee system and cannot be used independent of the Artis zee system.
The ControlRad® Select Model Z consists of a ControlRad filter mounted onto the Siemens Medical Artis zee (K181407) C-arm. The ControlRad filter is installed semi- permanently (i.e., the filter may be removed to return the C-arm to its original condition) to aid in reducing both patient and clinicians' radiation exposure while providing fluoroscopic imaging of the patient during diagnostic, surqical and interventional procedures. ControlRad® hereby submits this Bundled Special 510(k) "Catch-Up" to request clearance to market the ControlRad® Select Model Z with SW version v3.0.1 and a dose reduction claim: 85% of the Dose Area Product (DAP) at 65 kVp with width and length that are smaller than 1/5 the edge size of the full Field Of View (FOV).
The ControlRad Filter is an optional component installed on the Siemens Artis zee's collimator to further reduce radiation emissions. The ControlRad Select Model Z is only compatible with the 20x20 detector and associated collimator. Use of this system on other sizes is prohibited.

Image /page/8/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for ControlRad. The word "CONTROL" is in a dark teal sans-serif font, followed by "RAD" in a lighter green color. To the right of the text is a circular graphic with a gradient from dark teal to light green, partially surrounding the "RAD" text.
ControlRad® Select Model Z Device Description
The additional radiation reduction provided by the ControlRad Filter will be outside the clinician-selected ROI and within the un-collimated region/image FOV.
The main components of the ControlRad® Select Model Z which are used with the Artis zee are:
- ControlRad Tablet
- . ControlRad Filter
- . ControlRad Hardware
- . ControlRad Software and Firmware Modules
- . ControlRad Communication Interface
The ControlRad® Select Model Z is a system used to assist trained clinicians which is used to provide Xrav images when the clinician performs a medical procedure the patients and clinicians' radiation exposure (Dose Area Product) outside of the ControlRad® Select Model Z's region of interest (ROI) as compared to the Artis zee non-collimated image area. The ControlRad® Select Model Z can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so.
ControlRad® Select Model Z contains a titanium filter. Two filter sizes are available with nominal thicknesses of 2.5mm or 3mm. both of which are partially transparent to X-ray radiation.
Based on the user selection of the Artis zee collimator the ControlRad Filter region of interest (ROI) the radiation will be reduced. The X-ray beam inside the ROL is not impacted by the ControlRad Filters. All radiation outside the ROI and inside the Artis zee collimated area will be filtered. This can help physicians balance dose reduction with the need to visualize structures outside the ROI when it is considered clinically advantageous to do so.
The ControlRad® Select Model Z allows physicians to select a customizable region of interest (ROI) using a ControlRad dedicated screen Tablet. The proprietary technology then adjusts semi-tranium filters to deliver the designed high-quality image. This allows the Artis zee to generate an image in the selected physician's ROI while providing a lower radiation dose to the periphery. The result is a reduction in the overall radiation dose and exposure to the healthcare team while providing the physician the contextual information needed outside the ROI.
The workflow is therefore supported with lower radiation than with conventional imaging settings. The ControlRad Filter is designed to always include the center of the ROI. Therefore, when selecting an ROI by the user, the actual ROI might be expanded to include the center of the FOV.
The ControlRad® Select Model Z is a product that can be mounted only on the following configurations of the Artis zee: floor, ceiling, and bi-plane systems.
Technological Characteristics:
The ControlRad® Select Model Z consists of the following main components: ControlRad Filter, ControlRad Hardware, ControlRad Software and Firmware Modules and ControlRadion Interface all installed on the Siemens Artis zee. The ControlRad® Select Model Z components are installed semi-permanently on the cleared Siemens Artis zee (K181407) and operate in parallel to the Siemens Artis zee. The removal of the ControlRad® components will restore the device to OEM specifications.
The ControlRad® Select Model Z components provide the following functionalities:
- The CR Tablet provides the user operational control of the ControlRad Select Model Z device via a Graphical User Interface ("GUI"). The CR Tablet enables the clinician to select a Region of Interest ("ROI") on the image displayed on the CR Tablet, which is the same image that is displayed on the Siemens Artis zee's live monitor.
{9}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/9/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for ControlRad. The word "CONTROL" is in a dark teal sans-serif font, followed by "RAD" in a lighter green sans-serif font. To the right of the text is a circular graphic with two curved lines, one dark teal and one light green, that form a circle around the letters "RAD".
ControlRad® Select Model Z Device Description
- The CR Filter is installed on top of the Artis zee's collimator. The CR Filter does not affect or modify the functionality of the collimator. The CR Filter is a semi- transparent filter which reduces the Xray radiation outside the clinician-selected ROI typically by 44% to 98%. The actual dose reduction achieved will depend upon specific imaging parameters such as Siemens collimator settings, the kVp and the percentage of the non-collimated image covered by the ControlRad Filter.
- · The ControlRad Hardware, Software and Firmware Modules control the ControlRad Filter 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® Select Model Z and the Artis zee.
Principles of Operation:
The Siemens Artis zee provides an image whose boundaries are defined by the Siemens'collimator, i.e., the image FOV is defined by the Siemens non-collimated region. The image FOV size is not affected or modified by the ControlRad® Select Model Z.
Within the Siemens Artis zee non-collimated image region, when using a clinician selected Region of Interest ("ROI") on the ControlRad Tablet, the ControlRad 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 Siemens Artis zee (K181407).
- The image outside the clinician-selected ROI (filtered radiation area in the FOV), alower-dose processed image which provides peripheral image context to the ROI.
The Siemens Artis zee's collimator, when used, also reduces radiation emission. However, that collimator reduces radiation emission by blocking the delivery of radiationto the area covered by the collimator. As a result, the Siemens Artis zee's image FOV is limited to the non-collimated region. The ControlRad Filter can be used along with the Siemens Artis zee's collimator to further reduce radiation emissions, and the additional radiation reduction provided by the ControlRad Filter will be outside the clinician-selected RO1 and within the un-collimated region/image FOV. The clinician has the option not to use the CR Filter. In this case, the Siemens Artis zee operates as if the CR Filter was not present.
