Not Found

No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related concepts, and lacks details about image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described for "General Radiography," which is a diagnostic imaging procedure, not a therapeutic treatment.

No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states "General Radiography as prescribed by competent authority," which describes an imaging procedure rather than a device designed to diagnose. There is no information in the provided text that suggests the device analyzes images or patient data to provide a diagnosis.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only. Without knowing the components and how the X-Ray input is processed, it's impossible to definitively classify it.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "General Radiography as prescribed by competent authority." This describes a medical imaging procedure performed on a patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient (which is the hallmark of an IVD).
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is X-Ray, which is a direct imaging technique applied to the patient. IVDs typically analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Lack of IVD-specific information: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are characteristic of IVDs.

Therefore, this device appears to be a medical imaging device used for diagnostic purposes through direct imaging of the patient, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.1680 Stationary x-ray system.

(a)
Identification. A stationary x-ray system is a permanently installed diagnostic system intended to generate and control x-rays for examination of various anatomical regions. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A radiographic contrast tray or radiology diagnostic kit intended for use with a stationary x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Taylor:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and probibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval); it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Ouality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (2) CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrf/dsma/dsmamain:html="---------
