Intended Use
The Straight Arm DDR is indicated for use by qualified/trained doctor or technician on both adult and pediatric subjects for taking diagnostic static and serial radiographic exposures of the skull, spinal column, extremities, and other body parts. Applications can be performed with the patient sitting, standing, or lying in the prone or supine position (not for mammography).
Device Description
This submission is for a MODIFICATION to our predicate device. Instead of supplying a "U-shaped" arm we will be supplying a "Straight" arm. The other components of the system remain unchanged. This is a versatile digital radiography system that facilitates workflow and provides exceptional dose efficiency. The Straight Arm DDR features the latest developments in high-technology construction and design, including the potential for Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR), making it possible to rapidly capture sequential radiographs in a single exam. It consists of the following subassemblies: X-ray tube, positioner, automatic exposure control, collimator, X-ray generator, patient mobile table, and digital x-ray acquisition station with ULTRA software. The straight arm assembly was originally cleared in K062335. The ULTRA software was most recently cleared in K212291 and has not been changed from the cleared version.
More Information

No
The summary describes a modification to a digital radiography system, primarily changing the physical arm from U-shaped to straight. It explicitly states the software remains unchanged from a previously cleared version and there are no mentions of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets.

No.
The device is indicated for diagnostic imaging purposes, not for treating any medical condition.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "for taking diagnostic static and serial radiographic exposures."

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an X-ray tube, positioner, generator, and a physical "Straight arm" assembly, in addition to the software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Straight Arm DDR is an X-ray system used for taking radiographic images of the body. It directly interacts with the patient to produce images, rather than analyzing samples taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "taking diagnostic static and serial radiographic exposures of the skull, spinal column, extremities, and other body parts." This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro diagnostic function.
  • Device Description: The components listed (X-ray tube, positioner, generator, etc.) are all typical components of an X-ray imaging system.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Straight Arm DDR is a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The digital panel software employed was used unmodified from the predicate. The software has been previously validated as a control for Sedecal diagnostic x-ray generators.

The following testing was performed:
Image Quality Testing and Product Validation.
Product validation consisted of assembling and fully functionally testing the entire system.
The proposed compatible generator carries NRTL (UL) listing labels, having been tested for safety. Validation of proper generator technique control had been previously performed. Each system is tested for proper integration prior to shipment to the customer. Since multiple configurations are available (generator and panel models), our service engineers fully test each new system upon installation at the customer site.
We performed IEC60601-1 Safety and IEC60601-1-2 EMC testing with satisfactory results.

7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion.

The Straight Arm DDR performs the same functions as the predicate using the same technological methods to produce diagnostic x-ray images. In all material aspects, the KDR™ AU-DDR and the Straight Arm DDR systems are substantially equivalent to each other.

8. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:

After analyzing bench test results, risk analysis, and clinical evaluation, it is the conclusion of Konica Minolta that the Straight Arm DDR is as safe and effective as the predicate device, has few technological differences, and has the same indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
