No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including x-ray generators, control panels, patient support tables, image receptors/detectors, tube support devices, x-ray tube, and collimator. While it mentions "Smart Features" which are software-based remote capabilities, the overall system is a combination of hardware and software.
Based on the provided text, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states the device is a general purpose x-ray system used for acquiring radiographic images of various portions of the human body. This involves using radiation to create images of the body, not analyzing samples from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to obtain diagnostic images to aid the physician with diagnosis, which is consistent with imaging devices, not IVDs.
The device is an imaging device, specifically an X-ray system.

Device Description:
The DRX-Compass System is a general purpose x-ray system used for acquiring radiographic images of various portions of the human body. The system consists of a combination of components including various models of high voltage x-ray generators, control panels or workstation computers, various models of patient support tables, wall-mounted image receptors/detectors for upright imaging, various models of tube support devices, x-ray tube, and collimator (beam-limiting device).

The DRX-Compass can be used with digital radiography (DR) and computed radiography (CR) receptors.
Smart Features are added to the DRX-Compass system to provide remote capabilities for existing functions of the DRX-Compass system. These remote capabilities simplify exam set up and improve workflow for the operator while preparing for the patient exposure. The "smart features", described below, are designed to reduce the technologist's manual tasks and to speed up workflow for existing features of the system. These improvements are referred to as "smart features" in the product documentation. Implementation of these "smart features" does not change the intended use of the system.
Real-time Video Assistance: ●
The modified DRX-Compass System uses the real-time video output of the visual auxiliary components (cameras) to display the patient on the user interface to assist the operator in guiding the patient to adjust the position and posture, and assisting adjustment X-ray field, X-ray gantry position, etc.
● Long Length Imaging (LLI):
The modified DRX-Compass System provides the capability for the operator to select LLI parameters on the user interface without needing to physically be in the exam room. An LLI exam consists of two to five images stitched together to create one larger image of a leg or spine which is too long to show in a single image capture. The operator selects the top and bottom of the desired region of interest, and the system determines the number of images needed for the exam.
Collimation: ●
The modified DRX-Compass System allows the operator to collimate the intended location of the x-ray beam remotely from the user interface. Previously, the operator would have to physically go into the exam room and manually use collimator knobs to adjust the location of the light that represents the x-ray beam for purposes of exam set up.
Patient Picture: ●
The modified DRX-Compass System can now use camera to take a picture of patient to be delivered with the x-ray image. The patient picture interface supports the capture of a picture of the patient's physical anatomy from the live camera view automatically while system is taking the exposure. The operator can add these pictures to the patient record, making the pictures available for viewing along with the acquired x-ray images.

Indication for Use / Intended Use:
The device is indicated for use in obtaining diagnostic quality radiographic images to aid the physician with diagnosis. The system can be used to perform radiographic imaging of various portions of the human body, including the skull, spinal column, extremities, chest, abdomen, and other body parts. The device is not indicated for use in mammography.
Substantial Equivalence:
Based upon information provided within this submission, we believe that the modified DRX-Compass, is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed DRX-Compass System (predicate device).
In accordance with FDA Final Guidance "The 510(k) Program: Evaluating Substantial Equivalence in Premarket Notifications [510(k)]" issued July 28, 2014, the critical decision points outlined in the proposed 510(k) Decision-Making Flowchart in Appendix A have been considered. The proposed predicate device, DRX-Compass System, has been found substantially equivalent by FDA through the 510(k) process and is legally marketed. The Indications for Use for the modified device are identical to the predicate indications for use.
According to 14971, Risk Management methodology, no new risks have been identified that raise additional questions of safety and performance. All product risks have been mitigated as far as possible and there have been no changes to risk control measures in the current product risk analysis. Testing to recognized FDA consensus standards and internal bench testing have indicated substantial equivalence.
