As a part of the Canon radiography system, the CXDI Control Software when used with a compatible Canon detector is intended to provide digital image capture, processing, and display for conventional film/screen radiographic examinations. This device is intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general purpose diagnostic procedures including specialist areas like intensive care, trauma, and pediatric work. This device is not intended for fluoroscopic, angiographic, or mammography applications.
The Intelligent NR (Intelligent Noise Reduction) function is a part of the CXDI Control software for the Canon detectors (with version 3.10 of the CXDI Control Software) that makes use of the Intelligent NR function to reduce noise for X-ray images taken using the Canon detectors. The Intelligent NR function was developed using machine-learning and trained by using an existing clinical image database to learn the characteristics of noises and create noise reduced images. The Intelligent NR function does not perform machine learning after release to users. The CXDI control software, which Intelligent NR is a part of, provides system control, controls GUI on the monitor, and processes images. The Intelligent NR function works on a PC and displays to a monitor. The Intelligent NR function is used in conjunction with the cleared Canon detectors compatible with CXDI Control Software V3.10. The firmware within compatible Canon detectors to be used with this device is unchanged, and no firmware update is necessary for compatibility with the Intelligent NR.
The provided text describes Canon Inc.'s Intelligent NR (Intelligent Noise Reduction) function, which is a new feature within their CXDI Control Software. This function utilizes machine learning to reduce noise in X-ray images. The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Enhanced Feature Software Pack for CXDI Series, K190368).
However, the provided document does not contain the specific acceptance criteria or details of a study proving the device meets those criteria, as typically found in a clinical performance study report. The document focuses on regulatory information, device description, and comparison to a predicate device for substantial equivalence.
Therefore, I cannot directly populate the requested table and answer the questions related to acceptance criteria and specific study details (like sample size, number of experts, adjudication method, MRMC study, standalone performance, ground truth type, training set details) from the provided text.
Based on the available information, I can infer some general aspects:
- Device Purpose: To reduce noise in X-ray images using machine learning.
- Context: The Intelligent NR is a feature of the CXDI Control Software, not a standalone device.
- Regulatory Goal: To demonstrate substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device. This typically involves showing that the new device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is missing:
The provided text focuses on the regulatory submission process and the general description of the device's function. It does not include the detailed performance study results, acceptance criteria, or the methodology of such a study.

Dear Mr. Woodard:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

Summary of Comparison with the predicate devices shows the characteristics of the proposed Technological device to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Characteristics:
The Operation Manual provides detailed instructions and information for safe and effective use of the device, and users are expected to adhere to the instructions and other information. The Operation Manual explains how to use the software and other equipment.
Performance: The hardware within the Canon Digital Radiography Canon Detectors used with the Intelligent NR has not been modified, the detectors have the same performance, biocompatibility, effectiveness, and safety and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The risks and hazardous impacts of the device modification were analyzed by FMEA methodology. The specific risk control and protective measures to mitigate the risks from the modification were reviewed and implemented as part of product design. The overall assessment concluded that all identified risks and hazardous conditions were successfully mitigated and accepted.
As reported in prior submissions to FDA, the compatible detectors comply with the U.S. Performance Standard for radiographic equipment and with relevant voluntary
