AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) dental X-ray system. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (EzRay Air Wall (Model: VEX-S300W) / K163705) rather than providing a detailed study proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/ML medical device.

Therefore, many of the requested details regarding acceptance criteria for AI/ML performance, study design (sample size, ground truth, expert adjudication, MRMC studies), training set specifics, and effect sizes of human reader improvement with AI assistance are not present in this document. The document primarily addresses the safety and performance of an X-ray imaging system itself, not an AI component.

However, based on the information provided regarding the device's performance testing for its X-ray imaging capabilities, here's an attempt to extract and reframe the information to fit the structure of your request where possible, acknowledging the limitations due to the nature of the submitted document:


Device: EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) - Dental X-ray System

The provided document describes the acceptance criteria and performance study for the EzRay Air 2 Wall, a dental X-ray system.

9. Performance Data

- Summary of Performance Testing

The performance test for the subject device, EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) and the predicate device, VEX-S300W (K163705) confirmed that the focal spot to skin distance for both devices was longer than the minimum length of 20 cm. Accuracy of loading factors and reproducibility of Air KERMA for both X-ray systems also met the essential performance requirements (ex. < kVp +10 %). Both devices demonstrated similar performance outcomes in terms of HVL (half-value layer) and limitation of the x-ray field test which rendered satisfactory X-ray performance results in accordance with Federal Standard (21CFR 1020.30 and 31) requirements.

- Safety, EMC and Performance Data

The subject device complies with the safety and performance standards listed in the chart above, 'Substantial Equivalence Chart'.

Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety, and performance testing according to standard IEC 60601-1(Ed. 3.1, 2012), IEC 60601-1-3 (Ed. 2.1, 2013), IEC 60601-2-65 (Ed. 1.1, 2017) were performed, and EMC testing was conducted in accordance with standard IEC 60601-1-2.

Test reports were provided to demonstrate conformance. All test results complied with the requirements.

10. The differences between the subject device and the predicate device

The EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) described in this special 510(k) is similar to the predicate device in its indications for use, design, technology, functions, and principle of operation. The differences between the subject device and the predicate device are as follows:

The predicate device (EzRay Air Wall (Model: VEX-S300W) - K163705) is optimized for a digital sensor as an imaging receptor but EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) can be used with a digital sensor or a phosphor plate as an imaging receptor according to the user's preference. For the user of a phosphor plate, EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) provides increased tube voltage, tube current, and irradiation time compared to the predicate device. The tube voltage can be selected as either 65/70 kVp and the tube current is fixed at 5.0 mA The irradiation time has been increased up to 2.0 sec.

Based on the increased irradiation conditions, electrical safety and EMC test have been conducted. The performance of the EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) was tested through Accuracy of loading factors, HVL, limitation of the x-ray field, reproducibility of Air KERMA, and Linearity of AIR KERMA. All test results are in compliance with Federal Standard (21CFR 1020.30 and 31) requirements.

A digital sensor and phosphor plate were used to verify the image performance for each image receptor. The image performance was evaluated with low contrast and line pair according to the IEC standard through performance bench testing.

The Performance Bench Testing demonstrated that these differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness in comparison with the predicate device.

{7}------------------------------------------------

11. Conclusions

The subject device and the predicate device have similar indications for use and demonstrated similar design, technology, functions, and principle of operation. As demonstrated in the performance bench testing, X-ray safety and performance and Image evaluation of the new and predicate devices were tested in accordance with Federal Standard 21CFR Part 1020.30 and 31 as well as international standards such as IEC 60601-2-65, and 61223-3-4. Both the subject and predicate devices met the essential performance parameters including accuracy of loading factors, Reproducibility of Air KERMA, Focal Spot to Skin Distance, and Low Contrast & Line Pair performance requirements.

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification. VATECH Co., Ltd. concludes that EzRay Air 2 Wall (Model: VEX-S350W) is substantially equivalent to the predicate device as described herein.
