    PreXion3D Explorer PRO

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    PreXion3D Explorer PRO is intended to produce two-dimensional digital x-ray images including panoramic and cephalometric image, and three-dimensional digital x-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial region, ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) and neck region at the direction of healthcare professionals as diagnostic support for adult and pediatric patients. Cephalometric imaging also includes the hand and wrist to obtain carpus images for growth and maturity assessment.

    This device is not intended for use on patients less than approximately 21 kg (46 lb) in weight and 113 cm (44.5 in) in height; these height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 5 year old.

    Device Description

    PreXion3D Explorer PRO consists of a scanner, which is used for generating X-ray and detecting image data, and a console, which is used for operating the scanner and managing the data. The scan data acquired by the scanner will be transferred to the Console. PreXion3D Explore Image Analysis System will then perform the image analysis (2D/3D) or image edition (creating crosssection diagram, etc.), and output the image to a printer.

    X-ray image data is acquired while the rotation arm is rotating around the secured "patient's head" at a constant speed. X-rays, which are emitted from X-ray generator (built in one side of rotation arm), pass through a patient and are detected by the flat panel detector (built in the other side of rotation arm). The detected X-ray absorption data is used to process image reconstruction on the Console to create the 3D image (CT scan), the tomographic image (CT scan, Panoramic scan) and Cephalometric Scan.

    AI/ML Overview

    This FDA 510(k) summary does not contain information about an AI/ML-based medical device. Instead, it describes a Computed Tomography X-Ray System (PreXion3D Explorer PRO) which is a hardware device used for generating X-ray images, and the accompanying software primarily performs image analysis and reconstruction, not AI-driven diagnostic assistance.

    Therefore, the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and study proving device meets acceptance criteria, including details about sample sizes, expert qualifications, ground truth establishment, MRMC studies, and standalone performance for an AI/ML-based system, cannot be extracted from the provided text.

    The document details the technical specifications of the PreXion3D Explorer PRO and compares it to a predicate device (an earlier model of the same product). The performance data mentioned are non-clinical hardware and software verification tests against established standards (e.g., electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, radiation safety, software verification and validation, biocompatibility), not clinical performance data related to diagnostic accuracy validated through expert reads or ground truth.

    Summary of what is present:

    • Device: PreXion3D Explorer PRO, a Computed Tomography X-Ray System.
    • Purpose: Produces 2D (panoramic, cephalometric) and 3D (CT) digital x-ray images of dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions for diagnostic support.
    • Predicate Device: PreXion3D Explorer PRO (Model: P03A), K203784.
    • Evidence for Substantial Equivalence: Primarily non-clinical performance data demonstrating compliance with various national and international standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 10993 series, IEC 62304 for software).
    • Clinical Performance Data: "There was no human clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device." This explicitly states that no clinical studies were performed for this submission to prove performance against specific diagnostic objectives, as it relies on the predicate's established safety and efficacy.

    Information NOT present (and therefore cannot be provided as requested):

    • Acceptance criteria related to AI/ML diagnostic performance (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
    • Any details about a study demonstrating the device meets such AI/ML performance acceptance criteria.
    • Sample sizes for test sets where ground truth for AI performance is established.
    • Data provenance for AI/ML test sets.
    • Number/qualifications of experts for ground truth establishment.
    • Adjudication methods.
    • MRMC comparative effectiveness study results or effect sizes for human readers with/without AI assistance.
    • Standalone (algorithm-only) performance.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary for the PreXion3D Explorer PRO, a Computed Tomography X-Ray System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical performance data and does not contain information about the acceptance criteria or a study proving that the device meets specific performance criteria for an AI/CADe/CADx algorithm.

    The document details the device's technical specifications, compared to predicate devices, and lists various standards it complies with (e.g., electrical safety, radiation safety, software validation, biocompatibility). It explicitly states: "There was no human clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device."

    Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot extract the information required to populate the fields related to acceptance criteria, clinical study design, expert involvement, or AI/software performance metrics (such as MRMC studies, standalone performance, or effect sizes of AI assistance). The device is a hardware imaging system, and its approval is based on equivalence to existing hardware, not on the performance of a novel AI algorithm that requires specific clinical validation metrics.

    PreXion3D Explorer EX

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    PreXion3D Explorer EX is intended to produce two-dimensional digital x-ray images including panoramic image and three-dimensional digital x-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial region, ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) and neck region at the direction of healthcare professionals as diagnostic support for adult and pediatric patients.

    This device is not intended for use on patients less than approximately 21 kg (46 lb) in weight and 113 cm (44.5 in) in height; these height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 5 year old. Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average size can result in excessive radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatic patients may be more radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.

    Device Description

    PreXion3D Explorer EX consists of a scanner, which is used for generating X-ray and detecting image data, and a Console, which is used for operating the scanner and managing the data. The scan data acquired by the scanner will be transferred to the Console. PreXion3D Explorer EX Image Analysis System will then perform the image analysis (2D/3D) or image edition (creating cross-section diagram, etc.), and output the image to a printer.

    X-ray image data is acquired while the rotation arm is rotating around the secured "patient's head" at a constant speed.

The detected X-ray absorption data is used to process image reconstruction on the Console to create the 3D image (CT scan) and the tomographic image (CT scan, CT-Panoramic scan, Panoramic Scan).

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) Summary for the PreXion3D Explorer EX, a Computed Tomography X-ray System. It describes the device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (PreXion3D Explorer, K190320) and a reference device (PreXion3D Excelsior, K181983).

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    The document does not present a formal table of "acceptance criteria" in the sense of specific performance metrics that the device had to achieve for clearance. Instead, it details modifications to a predicate device and then states that system tests and imaging performance tests were conducted to confirm the validity and diagnostic quality of these modifications, ensuring compliance with relevant standards.

    The closest to "acceptance criteria" are the standards the device complies with, and the "reported device performance" is the confirmation that it passed these tests or was deemed equivalent.

    Feature / AspectAcceptance Criteria (Implicit from Standards/Confirmation)Reported Device Performance (as stated in the document)
    BiocompatibilitySafe materials (ISO 10993-1, -5, -10)Confirmed safe, uses same materials as marketed device (PreXion3D Excelsior). Passed relevant ISO standards.
    Touch Panel/MirrorNot affecting product safety and performance; electrical safety (IEC60601-1); acceptable risk management for mirror.IEC60601-1 test performed by qualified lab; risk management performed and mirror decided acceptable.
    Modified FOV (15 x 8 to 15 x 10)Validity of new FOV.System test performed to confirm validity.
    Added FOV (10 x 10)Validity of new FOV.System test performed to confirm validity.
    Added Panoramic Scan FunctionCompliance with imaging performance standard (IEC61223-3-4).Imaging performance test performed and confirmed to comply with IEC61223-3-4.
    Detector's effective area change (smaller by 1.5mm)Retention of diagnostic quality.An American board-certified radiologist confirmed diagnostic quality.
    Disabled Cephalometric Scan FunctionSystem validity with this function disabled.System test performed to confirm validity.
    General Safety (Electrical, Electromagnetic, Radiation, Usability, Software, etc.)Compliance with various IEC, ANSI/AAMI, ISO, and NEMA standards (e.g., IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-3, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366-1, IEC 62304, ISO 14971, NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20).Passed all testing in accordance with internal requirements, national standards, and international standards.
    CybersecurityCollect cybersecurity information and report breaches.No cyber security threat found as of Oct 2019; no cyber breach reported by customers of predicate device as of Nov 2019.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    The document focuses on non-clinical performance data and a "substantial equivalence" argument rather than clinical or AI algorithm performance studies with defined test sets.

    • Sample size: Not applicable in the context of typical AI algorithm test sets. The "sample" referred to here are individual modifications to the device and the associated technical tests.
    • Data provenance: Not explicitly stated as "data provenance" for a test set. The document refers to internal requirements and compliance with international/national standards, suggesting in-house testing or third-party laboratory testing. The radiologist who confirmed diagnostic quality for the detector change is described as "American board-certified," implying a U.S. context for that specific assessment. The cybersecurity information for the predicate device mentions six units installed in the US.
    • Retrospective or prospective: Not applicable. These are verification and validation activities for device modifications, not a study on an AI algorithm's performance on a dataset of patient cases.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    Only one expert is explicitly mentioned for a specific aspect:

    • Number of experts: One.
    • Qualifications: "An American board-certified radiologist." No information on years of experience is provided.
    • Role: Confirmed that images with the detector modification retained "diagnostic quality." This serves as a form of expert assessment for a specific technical change, rather than establishing ground truth for a test set in an AI study.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable. The document describes engineering and performance tests for hardware and software modifications, not a review of clinical cases by multiple experts. The single expert review mentioned for the detector change does not involve an adjudication method as there wasn't a panel.

    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

    No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The device is a Computed Tomography (CT) X-ray system, not an AI-powered diagnostic aide. The document only references "diagnostic support" as the general purpose of the imaging system. There is no mention of AI capabilities or human reader improvement with AI assistance.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This device is an imaging system, not an AI algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    For the specific point where an expert was involved (detector's effective area change), the "ground truth" was the expert opinion of an American board-certified radiologist confirming "diagnostic quality." This is not a clinical ground truth like pathology for specific disease detection but an assessment of image quality for diagnostic purposes. For other technical aspects, the "ground truth" was primarily compliance with established national and international standards.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. The document describes a medical imaging device (hardware and software), not an AI algorithm that requires a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned for an AI algorithm.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the PreXion3D Explorer, a Computed Tomography X-Ray System. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (PreXion3D Excelsior) rather than providing detailed clinical efficacy study results for an AI-powered device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria for AI performance and detailed study methodologies (like MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for AI, sample sizes for training/test sets for AI models, etc.) is not present in this document, as the device is not described as having an AI component in the manner of a diagnostic AI algorithm.

    However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the device itself based on the provided tables and text, treating "performance" as the device's physical capabilities and measured output rather than AI diagnostic performance.

    Here's the closest interpretation of your request based on the provided document:

    Study Proving Device Meets Acceptance Criteria:

    The key study mentioned is "Non-Clinical Performance Data."

    • Study Type: Non-clinical bench testing, electrical safety testing, software validation, biocompatibility testing, and compliance with various international and national standards. This is a device validation study, not a clinical study on diagnostic accuracy or AI performance.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    • Test Set Sample Size: The document does not specify a "sample size" in terms of patient cases or images for testing the device's performance. The testing refers to engineering tests performed on the device and its components, often using phantoms or controlled environments, not clinical image sets as one would use for an AI diagnostic algorithm.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical images for an AI study. The "data" here refers to measurements from bench tests performed by PreXion Corporation. The company is based in Tokyo, Japan. The testing is reported as a "non-clinical" effort, not involving human subjects or clinical data in the traditional sense.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

    • Not applicable. This device is an imaging system itself, not an AI diagnostic algorithm that requires expert-established ground truth on clinical images for its performance evaluation. The "ground truth" for this submission are the technical specifications, measured physical parameters, and compliance with safety and performance standards.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Not applicable. No expert adjudication process for image interpretation (as would be typical for an AI diagnostic device) is described.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done:

    • No, an MRMC study was not done. The document explicitly states: "There was no human clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device." This means no study was performed to assess human reader performance with or without the device, as is common for AI diagnostic devices.

    6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done:

    • Not applicable. This device is the imaging equipment itself, not a separate diagnostic algorithm. Its "performance" refers to its ability to acquire images meeting technical specifications and safety standards, not a diagnostic output from an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • The ground truth for this submission is based on engineering specifications, physical measurements (e.g., dose, spatial resolution on phantoms), and compliance with established national and international standards for medical electrical equipment, radiation safety, and imaging performance (e.g., IEC 60601 series, ISO 10993). It is not based on expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data from human subjects.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Not applicable. This document describes the clearance of an imaging device, not an AI algorithm that undergoes training.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    • Not applicable for the same reason as #8.
