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).

#### 8. Discussion of Similarities and Differences:
bright CT dental computed tomography X-ray system described in this 510(k) is similar to the predicate device in its indications for use, performance, materials, and safety characteristics.
The differences include the digital X-ray imagers with different FOV sizes. Performance testing was conducted for the subject device to access whether or not the parameter required for functionalities related to imaging properties of the dental X-ray device meets the designated acceptance criteria. The MTF, DQE and pixel resolution of the subject
{7}------------------------------------------------
device performed similar to or better than those of the predicate device. The pixel resolutions of the subject device in CBCT (2x2 binning) and pano mode are also similar or superior to that of the reference device.
All test results were satisfactory.
#### 9. Non-Clinical Data and Performance Testing
Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to standard IEC 60601-1(2015, A1:2012), IEC 60601-1-3 (2008 + A1: 2013), IEC 60601-1-6 (2010 + A1: 2013), IEC 60601-2-63 (2012, A1:2017)were performed, and EMC testing were conducted in accordance with standard IEC 60601-1-2.
bright CT meets the provisions of NEMA PS 3.1-3.18, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set.
Non-clinical & Clinical considerations according to FDA Guidance "Guidance for the submissions of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices" were performed. Acceptance test according to IEC 61223-3-4 and IEC 61223-3-5 was performed. All test results were satisfactory.
- 10. Clinical Data: Not required for a finding of substantial equivalence.
## 11. Conclusion:
In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the similarity to the predicate device in terms of technology, performance and indications for use, Dentium Co., Ltd. concludes that the bright CT is substantially equivalent to rainbow CT, the predicate device as described herein.
The differences between the new device and the predicate device shown in the comparison table above do not raise any new questions about safety and effectiveness and so we consider it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
