Intended Use
The SIDEXIS is a digital imaging system intended to replace conventional radiographic film for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, jaw, and oral structures.
Device Description
SIDEXIS consists of intraoral and extraoral digital X-ray sensors, image acquisition boards, and software to be installed into an IBM-compatible personal computer. Accessories to be used with the intraoral sensors include holders and hygienic covers. Use of the SIDEXIS differs from conventional X-ray imaging only due to the use of the PC and the X-ray sensors. The X-rays are produced using the customary method of the intraoral or extraoral X-ray system, however, an electronic, radiation sensitive sensor element is used in place of the conventional film carrier. The radiation is then converted into electronic signals that are relayed through cables connecting the sensor to the PC directly or through a network. The SIDEXIS can be used with: - Intraoral sensors and an intraoral dental X-ray device (e.g., Heliodent DS); and . - Panoramic or cephalometric sensors and an extraoral source X-ray device (e.g., . Orthophos 3DS, DS, or DS Ceph).
More Information

No
The description focuses on digital imaging technology replacing film and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities or image processing beyond basic digital conversion.

No
The device is used for diagnosis, not treatment, making it a diagnostic device rather than a therapeutic one.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the system is for "diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, jaw, and oral structures."

No

The device description explicitly states that SIDEXIS consists of intraoral and extraoral digital X-ray sensors, image acquisition boards, and software, indicating it includes hardware components in addition to software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for "dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, jaw, and oral structures." This involves imaging the internal structures of the body, which falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic imaging, not in vitro diagnostics.
  • Device Description: The description details the use of X-ray sensors to capture images of the patient's anatomy. This is consistent with medical imaging devices used for diagnosis based on visual interpretation of internal structures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to detect diseases or conditions. The SIDEXIS does not involve the analysis of such specimens.

Therefore, the SIDEXIS is a medical imaging device used for in vivo diagnosis, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

    1. BASIS FOR SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The SIDEXIS that is the subject of this 510(k) premarket notification is a modification of the SIDEXIS previously cleared for marketing under K972168. The modified SIDEXIS has the same intended use and principles of operation as the original SIDEXIS. Modifications are summarized as follows:

  • Additional sensors are available .
  • Additional image acquisition boards are available to interface between the . sensors and the computer.
  • The system is offered in a variety of kit configurations to allow for installation . in a personal computer system or in an adapter box for wall mounting, which can be used in a network system
  • The SIDEXIS can now be used under the Windows® 98 and Windows® NT . operating systems.
  • . The recommended computer platform has been upgraded to a Pentium-based system.

A hazard analysis, validation testing, and Declaration of Conformity to Design Controls were submitted to support the substantial equivalence of the modified to the original SIDEXIS Digital Radiography Imaging System.
