No
The summary explicitly states that the device's functions are supported by basic firmware and that it is not a cyber device, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or image processing.
No
The device is an intraoral dental x-ray equipment used to produce X-ray images, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.
Yes
The device produces X-ray images, which are used to aid in the diagnosis of dental conditions. The product description explicitly states it is "to produce X-ray images using intraoral image receptors," and the anatomical site is "Teeth, jaw and cavity structures," indicating its use in assessing these structures for diagnostic purposes.
No
The device description explicitly states it is "Hand-held intraoral dental x-ray equipment" and describes the physical process of emitting X-rays, indicating it is a hardware device with supporting firmware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that the XERO a is a dental x-ray equipment that produces X-ray images using intraoral image receptors. It emits X-rays onto the human tooth to acquire images.
- No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any samples taken from the body. It directly interacts with the patient's teeth and jaw to generate images.
Therefore, the XERO a falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
XERO a is an Hand-held intraoral dental x-ray equipment to produce X-ray images using intraoral image receptors. It is indicated for use by a dental technician for both adult and pediatric patients. This equipment is used in the professional healthcare facility environment. But the image detectors (an integral part of a complete dental system) are not part of the device.
The operation principle of the device involves emitting x-ray source when a high voltage is supplied to the X-ray tube assembly, which frees electrons from the cathode. They hit anode to produce X-rays. The device acquires images by emitting X-rays continuously on the human tooth.
And the functions of the dental generator XERO a are supported by firmware. This is of basic firmware documentation level, and there is no external data exchange port in the device. Moreover, the XERO a is not wireless. The subject dental system is not a cyber device.

Dear Yeongsuk An:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30. Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90. Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

10. Summary of Clinical Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)(2)]
Not Applicable
Clinical studies are unnecessary to validate the safety and effectiveness of the Stationary x-ray system, XERO a, the subject of this 510(k) notification.
11. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The XERO a is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device (K200182) in terms of technical characteristics, general function, application and indications for use, safety, and effectiveness.
Substantial equivalence for Hand-held intraoral dental x-ray equipment(XERO d) was demonstrated through the nonclinical performance in compliance with the requirements specified in the international and FDA recognized consensus standards, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366-1, IEC 60601-2-65 and IEC 62304.
The comparison of technological characteristics, non-clinical performance data and safety testing demonstrate that the XERO a is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
