The summary describes a standard mobile X-ray system with basic software for controlling parameters and interacting with hardware. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image analysis features that would typically indicate the presence of such technology. While it mentions image processing software, this is a separate component and not part of the submitted device itself, and "image processing" alone does not imply AI/ML.
No.
The device is intended for acquiring X-ray images for diagnosis, not for treating a condition.
Yes
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section states that the device is for "acquiring X-ray images of the desired parts of patient's anatomy." The 'Device Description' further clarifies that "The system is for X-ray imaging and diagnosis in facilities with mobile or fixing sites." Acquiring images for diagnosis directly implies it's a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an LED display, X-ray generator, X-ray tube assembly, collimator, and a cart or stand. While it mentions system control software, it is integral to the operation of the hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to acquire X-ray images of patient anatomy for diagnostic purposes. This is a form of in vivo imaging, meaning it's performed on a living organism.
- Device Description: The device is a mobile X-ray system that generates X-rays to create images. It does not involve the examination of specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.), which is the core of in vitro diagnostics.
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform such tests.
While the device is used in conjunction with image detectors and software for processing the images, the fundamental function of the device itself is to produce X-rays for imaging the inside of the body, not to analyze biological samples.

Device Description
This Mobile X-ray System (Model: i9Flex M/iºFlex MD) consists of a LED display with up and down soft-keys for controlling kV, an X-ray generator (linepowered transformer), an X-ray tube assembly, and a collimator. A cart or a stand can be used with the iºFlex MD. In addition, this unit has preset memory keys to store and select kV/mAs, The iQFlex M/iQFlex MD is used with a film-cassette or flat-panel detector. The image detectors (a necessary component of a fully-functional diagnostic system) are not part of this submission.
This device is a mains-powered mobile X-ray system, designed and manufactured by First Source Inc. Compared with traditional X-ray products, this device has exquisite structure, compact design, light weight and easy operation. The major components of the X-ray main unit include: handle, enclosure, control panel, system control board, high-voltage tank, inverter, collimator (beam limiter), and system control software running on the system control board. The system control software is for real-time interaction and control with various circuit modules inside the X-ray generator. The software responds to user operations on the control panel. The user can adjust and control the kV and mAs parameters, and the software will display the parameters or directly load the APR parameters. The software loads the control data from X-ray output into the high-voltage generation control circuit of the system control board, and control the highvoltage tank to generate high-voltage to excite the X-ray tube inside to emit Xrays, control the switch of the collimator indicator, and monitor the working status of the device, and control the display of the status indicators. The system is for X-ray imaging and diagnosis in facilities with mobile or fixing sites. The iQFlex M/iºFlex MD is not intended for mammography. The device can be used with an X-ray flat panel detector, a computer for receiving and detecting signal results and an image processing software. This mobile X-ray system is designed for handheld or stand-mounted imaging. Model i®Flex MD can be configured to an optional portable stand that complies with IEC 60601- 1 safety standard. The recommended maximum load that the stand can safely carry is 30kgs to ensure the mechanical stability and effectiveness of the device.

These studies have demonstrated the intended workflow, related performance, overall function, shipping performance, verification and validation of requirements for intended use, and reliability of the system including both software and hardware requirements. Non-clinical test results have demonstrated that the device conforms to its specifications. Predefined acceptance criteria were met and test results have

demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence
determination:
· Electrical safety and electromaqnetic compatibility (EMC)
Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the i9Flex M/19Flex MD Mobile X-ray System in compliance to IEC 60601-1-2:2014 - Medical electrical equipment Part 1-2, Electromagnetic Compatibility.
· Software Verification and Validation Testing Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation has been provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device is considered to present a "moderate" level of concern. This is based on the fact that a malfunction of or latent design flaw in the software component could lead to an erroneous diagnosis, or to a delay in delivery of appropriate medical care that may lead to a minor injury.
· Management of Cybersecurity
Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices (issued on October 2, 2014) was also followed to consider issues related to cybersecurity in the design and development process of this device.
Clinical Studies
Not applicable. Clinical testing was not deemed to be required to show substantial equivalence. We relied on non-clinical testing and compliance with standards.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
After analyzing bench tests, it is the conclusion of First Source Inc. that the i®Flex M/i9Flex MD Mobile X-ray System is as safe and effective as the predicate device, has the same indications for use, has few technological differences, which are addressed through performance testing and compliance with the standards listed above, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
