No.
The document explicitly states "Not Found" for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML. While it mentions "image processing systems (workstation)", this does not inherently imply the presence of an AI model; image processing can be performed using traditional algorithms.
No.
The device is intended for diagnostic imaging, not for treating any medical conditions.
Yes
The device is intended to "produce diagnostic X-ray images" and is described as generating "diagnostic X-rays of extremities." The purpose of these X-rays is to aid in diagnosis.
No
The device is a physical X-ray system, as described by its components (X-ray tube head, X-ray controls, power source, high voltage generator, X-ray tube, control board, battery, LCD user interface, X-ray beam limiting device, and remote-control switch). While it mentions image processing, this is a function of a separate workstation or film, not the X-ray generation device itself, and the primary device is clearly hardware-based.
No
This device is an X-ray system that produces diagnostic images of anatomical structures, which is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Europa (Alternative: AiRTouch) portable X-ray system is intended for use by trained or qualified doctors to produce diagnostic X-ray images of extremities in adult and pediatric(over 12 years old) patients. These images are obtained using anatomical structures captured by film or image processing systems (workstation) after an examination involving radiation exposure with cassette IP, CR, or DR (portable flat panel). Only intended for stand-mounted use.

Device Description
EUROPA(Alternative: AiRTouch) portable X-ray System generates X-ray with variable tube current and voltage (kVp) to take diagnostic X-rays of extremities for adult and pediatric patients. It operates on 22.2VDC supplied by a rechargeable Lithium-Ion Polymer battery pack. The X-ray tube head, X-ray controls and power source are assembled into a single portable X-ray enclosure. EUROPA(Alternative: AiRTouch) portable X-ray System includes high voltage generator, X-ray tube, a control board (PCB), rechargeable battery, LCD user interface, X-ray beam limiting device, and a remote-control switch (hand switch). Operating principle is that x-ray generated by high voltage electricity into x-ray tube, which penetrates patients' extremities and makes x-ray images on receptor. EUROPA(Alternative: AiRTouch) Portable X-ray System is intended to be used by trained clinicians or technicians for both adult and pediatric(over 12 years old) patients.
EUROPA(Alternative: AiRTouch) portable X-ray is intended to be mounted on a tripod stand.

Dear Dave Kim:
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 (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-reporting-combination-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-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).

VI. Discussion of differences
The subject device is similar to the predicate device in terms of the indications for use and technological application. Both the subject and predicate devices are portable X-ray system for taking diagnostic X-rays of patients' extremities.
The subject device enables the user to select the power and exposure time manually whereas the power settings of the predicate device are fixed. Other differences include device design such as battery pack, exposure time, size and user interface.
VII. Summary of Clinical and Non-clinical testing
Testing was performed successfully according to the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1: 2020, Ed 3.2, Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance
