Intended Use
The Orthoralix E/GX-9000™ Panoramic Dental X-Ray System is used as an extraoral source of x-rays in dental radiography.
Device Description
The Dentsply/Gendex Orthoralix E/GX-9000™ is a high frequency panoramic x-ray system for radiographic diagnostic extraoral dental images. It is available in two models: standard pan and pan/ceph. The Dentsply/Gendex Orthoralix E/GX-9000™ Panoramic X-Ray System is comprised of the following main components: High frequency inverter which supplies a true DC output and accurate technique factors; A microprocessor controlled user-friendly electronic control unit which is cofigurable in six different languages; A cloumn to be fixed to the wall; Counter balanced overhead carriage with controls for patient positioning, setting of technique factors and radiographic projection geometry; Cassette drive system with flat cassette for 15 x 30 cm film; X-ray tubehead, with DC power supply via electronic converter; Remote control box and handswitch; Optional cephalometric arm and head positioner. During a panoramic exposure, the x-ray tube and cassette holder move around the patient's head. The beam from the x-ray tube is collimated by a slit diaphragm. The flat film cassette passes behind a secondary collimator which blocks the radiation scattered from the patient. Patient positioning is by means of a bite guide and a headrest. During exposure, the patient remains still while the motorized components rotate. All movements for the panoramic radiographic projection are performed by two independent motors which are microprocessor controlled.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electronic components of a standard panoramic x-ray system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities for image processing, analysis, or other functions. The control is described as microprocessor-controlled, which is typical for such devices and does not imply AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an "extraoral source of x-rays in dental radiography" and used for "radiographic diagnostic extraoral dental images," indicating it is an imaging device for diagnosis, not for therapy.

Yes

The device is described as "a high frequency panoramic x-ray system for radiographic diagnostic extraoral dental images," explicitly stating its role in generating images for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines numerous hardware components including an x-ray tubehead, cassette drive system, motors, and a physical column, indicating it is a hardware-based system with software control.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "as an extraoral source of x-rays in dental radiography." This describes a device used to generate images of the inside of the body, not a device used to examine specimens taken from the body (which is what "in vitro" means).
  • Device Description: The description details an X-ray system that takes images of the patient's head and teeth. This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "Dental," which further supports its use for imaging the patient directly.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is clearly used for imaging the patient directly.
