The summary describes a standard digital X-ray detector and its performance metrics (DQE, MTF). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing beyond basic signal conversion, or any data sets for training or testing AI/ML algorithms.
No
This device is an X-ray detector used for diagnostic imaging, which is a diagnostic tool, not a therapeutic one. It captures images to aid in diagnosis, not to treat a condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is indicated for "providing general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy".
No
The device description clearly states it is a flat-panel type digital X-ray detector, which is a hardware component that captures images. The summary also discusses physical values like DQE and MTF, which are related to the performance of the hardware detector.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "general radiographic diagnosis of human anatomy." This involves imaging the internal structures of the body using X-rays.
- Device Description: The description details how the device captures X-ray images electronically. This is a core function of medical imaging devices, not IVDs.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis. IVDs are designed for testing samples outside the body.
This device is a medical imaging device used for diagnostic purposes, but it falls under the category of radiology equipment, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The EXPD 4357, EXPD 4357P are flat-panel type digital X-ray detector that captures projection radiographic images in digital format within seconds, eliminating the need for an entire x-ray film or an image plate as an image capture medium. EXPD 4357P differs from traditional X-ray systems in that, instead of exposing a film and chemically processing it to create a hard copy image, a device called a Detector is used to capture the image in electronic form.
The EXPD 4357, EXPD 4357P Detector are indirect conversion devices in the form of a square plate in which converts the incoming X-rays into visible light. This visible light is then collected by an optical sensor, which generates an electric charges representation of the incoming X-ray quanta.
The charges are converted to a modulated electrical signal thin film transistors. The amplified signal is converted to a voltage signal and is then converted from an analog to digital signal which can be transmitted to a viewed image print out, transmitted to remote viewing or stored as an electronic data file for later viewing.

8. Integrated Configuration for X-Ray system
The EXPD 4357, EXPD 4357P are connected with General diagnostic X-ray system.
Image /page/5/Figure/4 description: This image shows a diagram of an X-ray system. The diagram includes components such as an X-ray system generator, an EXPD 4357/EXPD 4357P, a console PC, and a hospital network. The components are connected by cables, including a SYNC cable, a POE cable, a LAN cable, and an Ethernet cable. The diagram also shows an adaptor connected to AC 220V.
| No. | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ① | POE Cable | 1) DC 24V voltage |
- It is supplied from Adaptor to Detector. |
| ② | LAN Cable | 1) Gigabit Ethernet Communications - It is transmitted from the detector to the CONSOLE PC. |
| ③ | SYNC Cable | 1) two-way TTL communication - It is communicated between the detector and the X-ray System Generator. |
| ④ | Ethernet Cable | 1) DICOM communication - It is transmitted from the CONSOLE PC to the hospital network. |

For successful integration of detector with X-ray system, we designed the hardware of EXPD 4357, EXPD 4357P as below function. The Energy of generator is controlled by Radiography imaging software(Econsole1, K152172), not firmware of Detector.
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| AED/AWC Mode | The detector detects actual amount of X-rays without any connection to the X-ray |
| generator. | |
| No signal used (No need of connector interface cable) | |
| Sync. Trigger Mode | The detector receives EXP_REQ signal that X-ray generator is prepared to |
| generate X-rays. | |
| The detector prepares image acquiring and then responds EXP_OK signal to the | |
| X-ray generator. | |
| The X-ray generator confirms EXP_OK signal and generates X-ray, then the | |
| detector performs image acquiring, according to image acquisition time and | |
| transmits the image data. | |
| EXP_REQ (Generator→ Detector), EXP_OK (Detector →Generator) |

12. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The modified EXPD 4357 and EXPD 4357P detectors are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed and predicate device (K223124) in terms of fundamental scientific technology, indications for use, and safety and effectiveness.
Additionally, Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through the non-clinical performance, which complied with the requirements specified in the international and FDA-recognized consensus
standards, ANSI AAMI ES60601-1:2005/AMD2:2021, IEC 60601-1-2:2020, IEC 60601-1-6 Edition 3.2, IEC 62304:2015 and IEC 6220-1-1 which complied with the requirements specified in the CDRH's Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices.
The results of these tests demonstrate that The EXPD 4357P meet the acceptance criteria and are adequate for this intended use. The comparison of technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data, and safety testing demonstrates that the device is as effective, and performs as well or better than the predicate devices.
