The Ziehm Solo FD is intended for use in providing medical imaging for adults and pediatric populations, using pulsed and continuous fluoroscopic imaging.
The device provides contactless fluoroscopic image capture, temporarily storing, and display of digital subtraction, and acquisition of cine loops during diagnostic, interventional and surgical procedures. Examples of clinical application may include pediatric, cholangiography, endoscopic, lithotripsy, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, angiographic, critical care, and emergency room fluoroscopy procedures.
The visualization of such anatomical structures assists the clinical outcome. This device does not support direct radiographic film exposures and is not intended for use in performing mammography. The system is not intended for use in any MRI environments.
Ziehm Solo FD uses X-ray imaging technology to visualize the human anatomy. The X-ray tube in the generator produces X-rays that penetrate the patient and then hit a special detector that converts them into digital images. This is done under the user and at the direction of a physician who determines the specific clinical procedure. This visualization assists the physician in localizing pathological areas or during surgical procedures. The image acquisition as well as visualization of in vivo surgical procedures and post-operative results.
The Ziehm Solo FD consist of one mobile Stand. Optionally the device can be ordered with a Viewing Station (Monitor Cart). The Mobile Stand incorporates a small compact design making the C-arm in relation to the patient easier for the operator. The generator with X-ray tube, advanced heat management system, X-ray control and collimators are assembled in one housing in a mono-block generator. The system control is handled via CAN BUS control system.
The mechanical C-Profile supports the flat panel detector and an integrated laser positioning device. The optional available Viewing Station (Monitor Cart) provides a remote touch Solo Center that duplicates the touch Solo Center mounted on the Mobile Stand.
This FDA 510(k) summary describes the Ziehm Solo FD, an image-intensified fluoroscopic X-ray system. The submission mainly focuses on a software update (version 7.10.0) that incorporates the 2k imaging chain "QuantumStream" and a new "Image Insights" overlay, along with the introduction of a new 12-inch IGZO flat panel detector in addition to the existing 8-inch IGZO panel.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a number of patients or images. The study used "anthropomorphic as well as motion-induced phantoms." "Anthropomorphic phantoms so-called 'sectional phantoms' were used and are constructed with a natural human skeleton cast inside a proprietary urethane material that has the same number as the body's soft tissue."
- Data Provenance: The study was conducted using phantoms, not human patient data. Therefore, the concept of country of origin or retrospective/prospective does not directly apply in the usual sense for clinical data. This appears to be lab-based testing.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
- Number of Experts: Not explicitly stated.
- Qualifications of Experts: The evaluation included a "radiological point of view," implying evaluation by radiologists, but specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience, board certification) are not detailed.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- Adjudication Method: Not specified. The text mentions "The image comparison... shows that the image quality acquired with the test device is better or at least equal." This suggests a comparative assessment, but the method of consensus or individual expert judgment is not described.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size
- MRMC Study: No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not mentioned or indicated. The study focused on technical image quality comparison using phantoms. The "Image Insights" overlay is mentioned but no study on its impact on human reader performance is detailed.
6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
- Standalone Study: This isn't strictly an AI algorithm-only standalone study in the sense of predictive or diagnostic performance. Instead, it's a standalone technical performance study of the updated imaging system (including hardware and software components). The "2k imaging chain 'QuantumStream'" and "Image Insights" overlay are software features that are part of the device's overall technical performance, and their contribution to image quality was assessed. The cybersecurity testing is also a standalone evaluation of the software's robustness.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)
- Ground Truth Type: For image quality, the ground truth was based on a comparative assessment against images from the predicate device and a radiological evaluation of whether the images "fulfil the requirements as stated by the intended use." For compliance (safety and performance standards), the ground truth was demonstrably meeting the specified requirements. For cybersecurity, the ground truth was the identification and assessment of vulnerabilities against established security best practices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Training Set Sample Size: Not applicable or not provided. This submission describes modifications to a fluoroscopic X-ray system and its imaging chain, not a machine learning model that would typically require a distinct training set for its core function. While software updates are involved, the description doesn't indicate a new AI model being trained for diagnostic purposes in this context.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Ground Truth for Training Set: Not applicable as no distinct training set for a machine learning model is described.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size: The document does not specify a numerical sample size for the test set of images or patients. It mentions "anthropomorphic as well as motion-induced phantoms" for image quality testing and "anthropomorphic phantoms" for pediatric dose testing. This suggests the tests were performed on a set of phantom images, not human patient data in the context of specific image count.
- Data Provenance: The testing was performed using phantoms, which are simulated patient data. The origin of the phantoms (e.g., specific manufacturer or dataset) is not explicitly stated. The tests are non-clinical, implying they were conducted in a controlled environment, likely at the manufacturer's facility in Germany.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of those Experts
- The document implies an expert evaluation for image quality: "From a radiological point of view the image quality of the presented images that were acquired fulfill the requirements as stated by the intended use."
- However, it does not specify the number of experts used, nor their specific qualifications (e.g., X years of experience, specific board certifications).
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- The document does not specify an adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). The statement regarding image quality being acceptable "from a radiological point of view" suggests a qualitative assessment, but the process is not detailed.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance
- The document does not mention or describe a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study. The device is an image-intensified fluoroscopic X-Ray system, and the submission focuses on hardware and software updates related to image acquisition and processing ("QuantumStream" and "Image Insights" overlay), not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that would typically involve human reader improvement metrics.
- The text does not refer to "AI assistance" in the context of improving human reader performance.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- This evaluation is on an X-ray imaging system, not a standalone algorithm. The device's performance is inherently tied to the images it produces. The image quality tests described ("better or at least all images show more detectability and are sharper") are a form of standalone performance evaluation of the system's output, comparing it to a reference.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For image quality testing, the "ground truth" was established by comparing the images produced by the modified device to "corresponding reference images" from the predicate system, and evaluating them against general "radiological requirements" and criteria like "detectability" and "sharpness." Phantoms were used to generate these images.
- For compliance, the ground truth was regulatory standards (21 CFR 1020.30-32 to 21 CFR 892.1650, ANSI/IEC safety standards) and specific guidance documents (e.g., "Guidance for submission of 510(k)s for Solid State X-Ray Imaging Devices").
- For cybersecurity, ground truth involved identifying vulnerabilities and assessing the security posture through established security testing methodologies.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- The document does not mention a traditional "training set" in the context of machine learning, as the update primarily involves a software update to an imaging chain and a new display overlay ("QuantumStream" and "Image Insights") rather than a new AI algorithm that would typically require a large training dataset for development. The "optimized system settings" likely refer to engineering adjustments and calibration rather than algorithm training.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- As no "training set" (in the machine learning sense) is explicitly mentioned, the establishment of ground truth for such a set is not described. The improvements are described as arising from an updated 2k imaging chain.

This device does not support direct radiographic film exposures and is not intended for use in performing mammography. The system is not intended for use in any MRI environments.
The Ziehm Vision RFD employs X-rays as its imaging technology for visualizing human anatomy. The X-ray tube in the generator produces X-rays, quided toward the patient under control of the user at the direction who determines the specific clinical procedure. The images from the system assist the physicians in visualizing the patient's anatomy. This visualization helps to localize regions of pathology and for surgical procedures.

This submission is for a software update to an existing device, the Ziehm Vision RFD, and also introduces new hardware options like an 8-inch IGZO panel. The provided text does not include detailed acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets them in the context of device performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy).
Instead, the documentation focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device (K240099) through compliance with regulatory standards, design controls, and software testing. It emphasizes that no new questions regarding safety or effectiveness are raised by the modifications.
Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from the provided text, nor can I answer specific questions about sample size for test sets, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert involvement, or MRMC studies for measuring improvement with AI assistance. These types of studies are not typically required for software updates to established fluoroscopic X-ray systems unless there are significant changes to the imaging capabilities that would impact diagnostic performance.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Ziehm Vision RFD). It describes the device, its intended use, and states that verification and validation testing was conducted. However, it does not contain the specific details required to answer your questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria.
Here's why and what information is missing:
- Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: The document states that "Verfication and Validation testing were successfully conducted..." and "No new non-clinical image comparison with sets of images with the modified device and the predicate have been performed, the device equivalent regarding image quality." This implies that there were performance criteria related to image quality and other aspects, but the actual criteria (e.g., specific metrics like SNR, spatial resolution, contrast-to-noise ratio) and the reported numerical performance against these criteria are not provided.
- Sample Size, Ground Truth, Adjudication, MRMC, Standalone Study, Training Set Details: The document is primarily focused on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device due to a software update (operating system upgrade). It does not describe a clinical study of the device's diagnostic performance in the way you've outlined. The "Software testing" and "Cybersecurity testing" mentioned are about the software functionality and security, not diagnostic efficacy or accuracy in interpreting medical images.
Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I cannot complete your request. The information about the specific performance study you're asking for is not present in this 510(k) summary.
In a typical scenario where a device is evaluated for diagnostic accuracy (e.g., an AI-powered diagnostic tool), the 510(k) summary or accompanying documentation would include the details you're looking for. For a device like the Ziehm Vision RFD, which is an imaging system (fluoroscopic X-ray system), performance evaluations typically focus on technical imaging parameters (e.g., image quality, dose, resolution) and overall system functionality and safety, rather than a diagnostic accuracy study with a "ground truth" and "experts" in the way an AI diagnostic algorithm would be evaluated.
If you had a document describing a clinical performance study (e.g., a "Clinical Data Summary" or "Performance Testing Report") for this device, it would likely contain the information you're seeking.

There is no information in the provided text regarding acceptance criteria for a device, nor is there a study described that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria.
The document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device (Ziehm Vision FD) and its accompanying 510(k) summary. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than proving performance against pre-defined acceptance criteria through a specific study with statistical endpoints.
The document states:
- "The key modification refers to an updated release of the software, which incorporates an operating system upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 20.04."
- "No new non-clinical image comparison with sets of images with the modified device and the predicate have been performed, the device equivalent regarding image quality."
- "Software testing was performed as required by "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions". The Cybersecurity of the device has been improved."
This indicates that the focus of the submission was on validating the software upgrade and ensuring that the device's overall safety and effectiveness are maintained and equivalent to the predicate, not on a new clinical study to meet specific performance metrics.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information, specifically:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance.
- Number of experts and their qualifications for ground truth establishment.
- Adjudication method for the test set.

Ziehm Imaging GmbH
The Ziehm Solo FD is intended for use in providing medical imaging for adults and pediatric populations, using pulsed and continuous fluoroscopic imaging.
The device provides contactless fluoroscopic image capture, temporarily storing, and display of digital subtraction, and acquisition of cine loops during diagnostic, interventional and surgical procedures. Examples of clinical application may include pediatric, cholangiography, endoscopic, urologic, lithotripsy, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, angiographic, critical care, and emergency room fluoroscopy procedures.
The visualization of such anatomical structures assists the clinician in the clinical outcome. This device does not support direct radiographic film exposures and is not intended for use in performing mammography. The system is not intended for use near MRI systems.
Ziehm Solo FD uses X-ray imaging to visualize the human anatomy. The X-ray tube in the generator produces X-rays that penetrate the patient and then hit a special detector that converts them into digital images. This is done under the user and at the direction of a physician who determines the specific clinical procedure. This visualization assists the physician in localizing pathological areas or during surgical procedures. The device enables real-time image acquisition of in vivo surgical procedures and post-operative results.
The Ziehm Solo FD consist of one mobile unit, the Mobile Stand. Optionally the device can be ordered with a Viewing Station (Monitor Cart). The Mobile Stand incorporates a small compact design making the C-arm in relation to the patient easier for the operator. The generator with X-ray tube, advanced heat management system, X-ray control and collimators are assembled in one housing in a mono-block generator. The system control is handled via CAN BUS control system.
The mechanical C-Profile supports the flat panel detector and an integrated laser positioning device. The optional available Viewing Station (Monitor Cart) provides a remote touch Solo Center that duplicates the touch Solo Center mounted on the Mobile Stand.
The provided text concerns the FDA 510(k) clearance for the Ziehm Solo FD, an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system. The core of the submission revolves around a software update (Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 20.04) and asserting substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
However, the provided document DOES NOT contain information about a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in terms of performance (e.g., diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or human reader improvement with AI assistance). The document primarily focuses on regulatory compliance, technological comparison with a predicate device, and software updates, rather than a detailed performance study with defined acceptance criteria and statistical analysis.
The text explicitly states:
- "No new non-clinical image comparison with sets of images with the modified device and the predicate have been performed, the device equivalent regarding image quality." This indicates that no new image quality performance study was conducted.
- The overall tone suggests a "substantial equivalence" argument primarily based on the software and hardware remaining fundamentally the same as the predicate, not on a new, explicit performance evaluation against novel acceptance criteria.
Therefore, based solely on the provided text, I cannot complete the request to describe the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, nor can I fill in a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance, or provide details on sample sizes, expert involvement, adjudication, or MRMC studies.
The document discusses:
- Device Name: Ziehm Solo FD
- Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1650
- Regulation Name: Image-Intensified Fluoroscopic X-Ray System
- Regulatory Class: Class II
- Product Codes: OWB, JAA, OXO
- Intended Use: Providing medical imaging for adults and pediatric populations using pulsed and continuous fluoroscopic imaging, for diagnostic, interventional, and surgical procedures (e.g., pediatric, cholangiography, endoscopic, urologic, lithotripsy, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, angiographic, critical care, and emergency room fluoroscopy procedures).
- Key Modification: Updated software release (Ubuntu 16.04 to Ubuntu 20.04).
- Compliance: States compliance with 21 CFR 1020.30-32 (Federal Performance Standards for X-Ray Fluoroscopic equipment), IEC 60601-1-3, and IEC 60601-2-54.
To reiterate, the information required for the detailed performance study aspects (acceptance criteria table, sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC, etc.) is absent from this FDA 510(k) letter and summary.

The Ziehm Vision FD is intended for use in providing medical imaging for adults and pediatric populations, using pulsed and continuous fluoroscopic imaging. The device provides contactless fluoroscopic image capture, temporarily storing, and display of digital subtraction, and acquisition of cine loops during diagnostic, interventional and surgical procedures. Examples of clinical application may include pediatric, cholangiography, endoscopic, urologic, lithotripsy, orthopedic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, angiographic, critical care, and emergency room fluoroscopy procedures.
The visualization of such anatomical structures assists the clinical outcome. This device does not support direct radiographic film exposures and is not intended for use in performing mammography. The system is not intended for use near MRI systems.
The Ziehm Vision FD mobile fluoroscopy system is comprised of a mobile stand with a C-Profile shaped support with both a mono-block high voltage generator assembly and Flat Panel image receptor. These attach to either end of a C-Profile providing a fixed SID. The device performs 2D medical imaging using 4 axes of manual movement and one vertical axes of motorized movement. A user touch screen provides for concise user selectable anatomical programs and Xray technique control. Integrated high-resolution flat panel display monitors directly mounted on the monitor cart providing the clinician with a precise angle for visualization of live fluoroscopic images of the patient's anatomy. This visualization helps to localize regions of pathology for surgical procedures. The mobile stand supports both a cable bound and optional wireless fluoroscopic footswitch. The Wireless footswitch operation allows for optimum positioning for the surgeon by removing the cable on the floor. The optional interface panel of the Ziehm Vision FD provides connection of peripheral devices such as external monitors, thermal video printers, and image storage devices (USB, DVD) and DICOM fixed wire and wireless network interfaces.
The provided document, a 510(k) Summary for the Ziehm Vision FD, describes a premarket notification for a modified fluoroscopic x-ray system. The study focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K193230), rather than establishing new acceptance criteria or proving clinical efficacy in a traditional sense. The changes primarily involve an additional 8-inch IGZO flat panel detector and updates to software and mechanical components.
Therefore, the acceptance criteria and study detailed below are framed within the context of a substantial equivalence submission, emphasizing performance comparison with a predicate device.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since this is a substantial equivalence submission, the "acceptance criteria" are implied by the performance of the predicate device and the new device's ability to demonstrate comparable safety and effectiveness. The "reported device performance" refers to how the modified Ziehm Vision FD performs relative to the predicate.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate Performance & Safety Standards) | Reported Device Performance (Modified Ziehm Vision FD) |
---|---|
Image Quality: Comparable or improved image quality. | Non-clinical image comparison: Sets of images with the modified device and the predicate show equivalence regarding image quality. The modified device with IGZO has a higher resolution size compared to the predicate's 8-inch a-Si FPD, leading to better image quality. |
Radiation Dose: Ability to reduce dose for certain applications. | Low-dose functionality assessment: Shows the ability to reduce dose for certain applications while maintaining image quality. Non-clinical image and dose lab testing with anatomical phantoms demonstrated the device's capability for reduced dose and maintained image quality. |
Electrical Safety: Compliance with ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1. | Testing conducted: Test results show compliance with ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1. |
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2. | Testing conducted: Test results show compliance with IEC 60601-1-2. |
X-Ray Performance: Compliance with 21 CFR 1020.30-32, IEC 60601-1-3, IEC 60601-2-43, IEC 60601-2-54. | Performance testing confirmed: Modified Ziehm Vision FD complies with 21 CFR 1020.30-32 and relevant safety standards (IEC 60601-1-3, IEC 60601-2-43, IEC 60601-2-54). The device met all applicable sections of 21 CFR Subchapter J performance standards. |
Software Safety & Effectiveness: No new safety or effectiveness concerns raised by software changes. | Software testing performed: As required by "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions." Updates and optimizations of software features do not influence safety and effectiveness. Cybersecurity remains exactly the same as in the predicate device. |
Mechanical & Other Changes: No influence on safety and effectiveness. | Mechanical changes: Length and height of mobile stand optimized; discontinued older FPD technology. These changes do not influence safety and effectiveness. Other changes: Updates to features like "Anatomical Marking Tool" and "Video output" are stated to have no influence on safety and effectiveness. Discontinued options do not impact core safety or effectiveness. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document describes "non-clinical image comparison with sets of images" and "non-clinical image and dose Lab testing" using "anatomical phantoms."
- Test set sample size: Not explicitly stated as a number of images or cases. It refers to "sets of images" and "anatomical phantoms."
- Data provenance: Non-clinical (phantom-based) lab testing. The country of origin for the data is not specified but the manufacturer is based in Germany. The testing appears to be retrospective in comparison to the predicate, as it's a verification and validation activity for a modified device.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- Number of experts: "A Radiologist performed an assessment of individual image sets." This implies one radiologist.
- Qualifications of experts: The document only states "A Radiologist." No specific experience level (e.g., "10 years of experience") is provided.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document mentions that "A Radiologist performed an assessment of individual image sets" and provided a "conclusion." This suggests a single expert review rather than a formal adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus).
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done
No, a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The study described is a non-clinical, phantom-based image comparison assessed by a single radiologist for substantial equivalence (comparability) in image quality and safety, not for an improvement in human reader performance with or without AI assistance. The device is an imaging system, not an AI-powered diagnostic aid meant to directly improve human reader effectiveness.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
The device itself is a fluoroscopic x-ray system, not an AI algorithm. Therefore, the concept of "standalone performance" for an algorithm doesn't directly apply here. The performance tests described (image quality, dose, safety standards compliance) characterize the device's inherent capabilities without human interpretation as part of the core performance metric.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the non-clinical image comparison and dose testing, the "ground truth" was established using:
- Anatomical phantoms: These provide a known, controlled imaging target.
- Radiologist assessment: A radiologist's qualitative assessment of image quality and how it compares between the modified and predicate devices.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This submission is for a medical imaging device (hardware and associated software), not a machine learning algorithm that requires a separate "training set." Therefore, the concept of a training set for an AI model is not applicable here. The software updates mentioned are optimizations and version changes, not a new AI model being trained.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
As explained in point 8, a training set is not applicable to this device submission.

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the Ziehm Solo FD, a mobile fluoroscopic C-Arm. The submission asserts substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Ziehm Solo FD K161976) and references a comparative reference device (Ziehm Vision FD K193230) for specific comparisons related to flat panel detector technology (IGZO vs. a-Si).
However, the document does not contain the detailed information necessary to fully answer all aspects of your request regarding specific acceptance criteria for AI/algorithm performance and a comparative effectiveness study (MRMC) demonstrating human reader improvement with AI assistance. This is likely because the device described is an X-ray system, not an AI-powered diagnostic algorithm. The testing described focuses on the device's fundamental imaging capabilities, electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and compliance with X-ray performance standards, rather than the diagnostic performance of an AI algorithm.
The closest relevant information relates to image quality assessment and dose reduction.
Here's a breakdown of the available and missing information based on your request:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on available information)
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the format of specific quantitative metrics for a diagnostic AI algorithm. Instead, it details that the device's safety and performance are confirmed by:
- Compliance with applicable CDRH 21 CFR subchapter J performance requirements.
- Adherence to recognized and general consensus standards.
- Designing and manufacturing under Ziehm Imaging GmbH Quality System (21 CFR 820).
- System verification and validation testing to ensure the device performs to product specifications and its intended use.
- Bench testing, including non-clinical imaging and dose testing, demonstrating the device's ability to provide reduced dose while maintaining image quality.
The performance is reported qualitatively through statements of compliance and equivalence.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied by Compliance) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Electrical Safety (ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1) | "Testing regarding electrical safety according to ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1... was performed. The test results show compliance with both standards." |
Electromagnetic Compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2) | "Testing regarding electromagnetic compatibility according to IEC 60601-1-2 was performed. The test results show compliance with both standards." |
X-ray Performance Standards (e.g., 21 CFR 1020.30-32, IEC 60601-1-3, IEC 60601-2-43, IEC 60601-2-54) | "Documentation provided demonstrates compliance... to FDA requirements stated in 'A Guide for the Submission of Initial Reports on Diagnostic X-Ray Systems and Their Major Components' as applicable. This includes but is not limited to leakage radiation of diagnostic source assembly, peak tube potential (kV), tube current mA, fluoroscopic entrance exposure rates, and beam-limiting alignment to device image receptor. Further, this performance testing confirmed that the modified Ziehm Solo FD complies with 21 CFR 1020.30-32... and with relevant safety standards..." |
Image Quality Equivalence to Predicate/Reference Device | "Non-clinical image comparison with sets of images with the modified device and the predicate shows equivalence regarding image quality." |
"Radiologist conclusion, the image quality of the Ziehm Solo FD results in a comparable patient care to the reference device Ziehm Vision FD (K193230) and fulfils the requirements as stated by the intended use." | |
Low Dose Functionality | "Furthermore, an assessment regarding the low dose functionality of the modified Ziehm Solo FD shows the ability to reduce dose for certain applications." |

Sample Size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Sample Size: Not explicitly stated as a numerical count of images or patients. The document mentions "sets of images" and "anatomical phantoms" representing "both the adult and pediatric populations."
- Data Provenance: The study used "non-clinical imaging and dose testing methods," implying the use of phantoms rather than real patient data. There is no mention of country of origin or whether it was retrospective/prospective clinical data, as it was a phantom-based bench study.
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Number of experts: Singular. "A Radiologist performed an assessment of individual image sets."
- Qualifications of experts: "A Radiologist." No further details on years of experience or specialization are provided.
-
Adjudication method for the test set:
- No explicit adjudication method (like 2+1, 3+1) is mentioned. The assessment was performed by "A Radiologist."
-
If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document describes a technical performance validation of an X-ray imaging system, not a study assessing an AI algorithm's impact on human diagnostic performance. The statement "Radiologist conclusion, the image quality of the Ziehm Solo FD results in a comparable patient care to the reference device Ziehm Vision FD (K193230)" indicates an expert's qualitative judgment on image quality itself, not a measure of improved human reader performance with AI assistance.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- This question is not applicable in the context of the provided document, as the device is an X-ray system, and there's no mention of a standalone AI algorithm for diagnostic inference. The "software" updates mentioned are for system control and image processing, not for AI-driven diagnostic tasks.
-
The type of ground truth used:
- Expert Consensus/Assessment based on Phantoms: For image quality assessment, the "ground truth" was established through the "Radiologist's conclusion" on "anatomical phantoms" and "image comparison sets." This is a form of expert assessment of image quality, not clinical ground truth derived from pathology or patient outcomes.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable/Not provided. This document does not describe the development or training of an AI algorithm in the sense of machine learning, so there is no "training set." The software mentioned is traditional device control and image processing software.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable/Not provided. As there is no AI algorithm training set discussed, this information is not relevant to the content of the provided document.
Summary of what's provided vs. what's missing for an AI-focused request:
The document details the substantial equivalence of an X-ray imaging system based on hardware modifications and compliance with electrical, mechanical, and X-ray performance standards. It provides limited information regarding formal clinical study design, especially concerning human reader performance or the training/validation of an AI-driven diagnostic algorithm. The "software" sections refer to system operating software, not typically advanced AI for image interpretation that would require MRMC or standalone AI performance metrics.

Such procedures may include but are not limited to those of interventional cardiology, heart surgery, hybrid procedures, interventional radiology, interventional angiography, electrophysiology, pediatrics, endoscopic, urological, gastroenterology, orthopedic, maxillofacial surgery, neurosurgery, critical care, emergency room procedures, and those procedures visualizing structures of the cervical, thoracic, and lumber regions of the spine and joint fractures of the upper and lower extremities, and where digital image data is required for computer aided surgery procedures and whenever the clinician benefits from the high degree of geometric imaging accuracy, and where such fluoroscopic, cine and DSA imaging is required. The visualization of such anatomical structures assists the clinician in the clinical outcome.
This device does not support direct radiographic film exposures and is not intended for use in performing mammography. The system is not intended for use near MRI systems.
The Ziehm Vision RFD mobile fluoroscopy system is a flat panel detector (FPD) and fluoroscopic X-ray imaging system consisting of two mobile units: a Mobile Stand (C-Arm) and a Monitor Cart/Workstation. The Mobile Stand is comprised of a mono-block high voltage generator, X-ray control, and a C-Profile which is "C" shaped and supports the X-ray generator, and the image receptor Flat Panel Detector (FPD). The mobile stand supports the optional wireless footswitch for optimum positioning for the surgeon by removing the cable on the floor. The Monitor Cart is a mobile platform that connects to the Mobile Stand by a cable, and which integrates the LCD flat panel display monitors, image processing, user controls and image recording devices. Interfaces provided for optional peripheral devices such as external monitors, thermal video printers, wireless video display, wireless video server, injector connection and image storage devices (USB, DVD) and DICOM fixed wired and wireless network interfaces.
The document provided describes the Ziehm Vision RFD, an image-intensified fluoroscopic X-ray system. The submission (K231692) is for a modified version of a previously cleared device (K203428). The key modification is the addition of a new 12-inch IGZO (Indium gallium zinc oxide) flat panel detector (FPD) to the existing a-Si and CMOS FPD options.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Anti-scatter Grid | Slightly different values acceptable for IGZO while maintaining safety | The grid of the new IGZO has slightly different values compared to the anti-scatter grids for the other two FPD's (aSi, CMOS) but does not impact safety/effectiveness significantly. |
2. Sample Sizes used for the test set and data provenance
The document states: "Non-clinical image comparison with sets of images with the modified device and the predicate shows equivalence regarding image quality." and "Anatomical simulation phantoms were employed, image comparison sets taken were representative of both the adult and pediatric populations."
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not explicitly stated regarding the number of images or cases. It mentions "sets of images" and "anatomical simulation phantoms."
- Data Provenance: "Non-clinical image and dose Lab testing." The country of origin for the data is not specified. It appears to be prospective data generated specifically for this submission through lab testing on phantoms.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
The document states: "A Radiologist performed an assessment of individual image sets. Radiologist conclusion, the image quality of the Ziehm Vision RFD results in a comparable patient care to the Predicate device Ziehm Vision RFD (K203428) and fulfils the requirements as stated by the intended use."
- Number of Experts: "A Radiologist" (singular).
- Qualifications of Experts: Assumed to be a qualified radiologist, but specific years of experience or specialization are not detailed.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
The document mentions "A Radiologist performed an assessment" and provided a "conclusion." It does not specify any formal adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1. It appears to be a single-reader assessment.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
The document does not describe a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, nor does it refer to AI or human reader improvement with AI assistance. The device is an X-ray system, and the study focuses on the image quality and performance compared to a predicate device, not on diagnostic aids or AI.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This refers to an X-ray imaging system, not an algorithm. The assessment described in the document is about the physical device's performance (image quality, dose, safety) as a standalone imaging system.
7. The type of ground truth used
The "ground truth" for image quality assessment was established through:
- Expert Consensus / Assessment: A radiologist's assessment of image sets.
- Performance Metrics: Objective measurements such as DQE, MTF, pixel size, and system resolution (Nyquist) for the detectors.
- Phantom Studies: Use of anatomical simulation phantoms.
- Compliance with Standards: Meeting criteria defined by various IEC, ANSI, and 21 CFR standards.
8. The sample size for the training set
The document does not mention a "training set" as this device is an X-ray system and not an AI/ML algorithm that requires training data in the typical sense. The development and verification processes involve extensive testing and compliance with standards, but not a distinct "training set" for an algorithm.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
As there is no mention of a "training set" in the context of an AI/ML device, this question is not applicable based on the provided text. The device is a hardware X-ray system with integrated software for image acquisition and processing.
