The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the I-Q View software. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through bench testing and comparison of technical characteristics. It explicitly states that clinical testing was not required or performed.
Therefore, I cannot provide details on clinical acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets them, as such a study was not conducted for this submission. The document relies on bench testing and comparison to a predicate device to establish substantial equivalence.
Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted from the provided text regarding acceptance criteria and the "study" (bench testing) that supports the device:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Since no clinical acceptance criteria or performance metrics are provided, this table will reflect the general statements made about the device performing to specifications.
Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Device functions as intended for image acquisition. | Demonstrated intended functions. |
Device performs to specification. | Performed to specification. |
Integration with compatible solid-state detectors performs within specification. | Verified integration performance within specification. |
Software is as safe and functionally effective as the predicate. | Bench testing confirmed as safe and functionally effective as predicate. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not applicable/not reported. The document describes bench testing, not a test set of patient data.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable. Bench testing generally involves internal testing environments rather than patient data from specific countries or retrospective/prospective studies.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not applicable. As no clinical test set was used, no experts were needed to establish ground truth for patient data. Bench testing typically relies on engineering specifications and verification.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not applicable. No clinical test set or human interpretation was involved.
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, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical Testing: The bench testing is significant enough to demonstrate that the I-Q View software is as good as the predicate software. All features and functionality have been tested and all specifications have been met. Therefore, it is our conclusion that clinical testing is not required to show substantial equivalence." The device is software for image acquisition, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- Yes, in a sense. The "study" described is bench testing of the software's functionality and its integration with solid-state detectors. This is an evaluation of the algorithm/software itself.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- For bench testing, the "ground truth" would be the engineering specifications and expected functional behavior of the software and its interaction with hardware components. It's about verifying that the software performs according to its design requirements.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable. The I-Q View is described as an image acquisition and processing software, not an AI/machine learning model that typically requires a training set of data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set or AI/machine learning component.
Summary of the "Study" (Bench Testing) for K203703:
The "study" conducted for the I-Q View software was bench testing. This involved:
- Verification and validation of the software.
- Demonstrating the intended functions and relative performance of the software.
- Integration testing to verify that compatible solid-state detectors performed within specification as intended when used with the I-Q View software.
The conclusion drawn from this bench testing was that the software performs to specification and is "as safe and as functionally effective as the predicate software." This was deemed sufficient to demonstrate substantial equivalence, and clinical testing was explicitly stated as not required.

The Televere Digital Imaging System is intended for digital image capture use in general radiographic examinations, wherever conventional screen-film systems may be used. Allows imaging of the skull, chest, shoulders, pelvis, and extremities. Not for mammography.
The Televere Digital Imaging System consists of a combination of digital imaging software, a flat panel display (FPD), a PC-based computer and a power supply. The imaging software has previously been cleared by FDA (i.e., K061035, TigerView Professional). This previously cleared software provides basic image adjustment features: An image management system that allows the physician to acquire, display, edit (e.g., resize, adjust contrast, crop, etc.), review, store, print, and distribute medical images within a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) environment. TigerView Professional runs on standard PCcompatible computers and is compatible with capture devices which attach to the computer using a Network Adaptor, USB port, PCI slot, parallel port, memory card, S-video port on a video capture card, or SCSI card. The FPD component seeking clearance (PerkinElmer Model XRPad 4343F N) has not been previously cleared by FDA. The FPD uses a large-area amorphous silicon sensor array with a gadolinium oxysulfide (GadOx) scintillator for displaying high quality images over a wide range of dose settings and is intended to be integrated into a complete X-ray system. This premarket notification seeks clearance for a combination finished device consisting of the combination of the previously cleared digital imaging software and the FPD. The combination of the digital imaging software and the FPD does not affect the safety or efficacy of either component device alone, or in combination.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Televere Digital Imaging System. It describes the device, its intended use, and proposes it as substantially equivalent to a predicate device.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information based on the provided text:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
The document mentions "Sample clinical images from the new device were also provided however they were not necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence." It does not specify a sample size for these clinical images, nor does it provide data provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The primary basis for substantial equivalence seems to be bench testing and comparison of technical specifications.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
This information is not provided in the document. The substantial equivalence relies on physical and performance characteristic comparisons, not on expert-adjudicated clinical image interpretations for a test set to establish ground truth in the context of device performance metrics like sensitivity/specificity. The statement "Clinical images collected demonstrate equal or better image quality as compared to our predicate" suggests a qualitative assessment, but details about who made this assessment, how many, or their qualifications are absent.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
This information is not provided. Given that quantitative clinical ground truth was not the primary method for demonstrating substantial equivalence, formal adjudication methods are not detailed.
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, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The Televere Digital Imaging System is a digital X-ray receptor, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. The purpose of the submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate X-ray system, primarily through technical specifications and bench testing, for image capture. There's no mention of AI or human reader improvement with or without AI assistance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
This question is not applicable as the device is an X-ray imaging system, not an algorithm, and does not operate independently in a diagnostic capacity without human interpretation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert concensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the technical performance metrics (MTF, DQE), the ground truth is established by physical measurements and standardized testing according to IEC standards and FDA guidance documents for solid-state digital X-ray panels. For the qualitative assessment of "clinical images," the type of ground truth and method of establishment is not explicitly stated, but it likely refers to a visual comparison of image quality, not a formal disease presence/absence ground truth.
8. The sample size for the training set
This information is not applicable as the Televere Digital Imaging System is a hardware device (digital X-ray receptor) and not a machine learning or AI algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This information is not applicable as the device is not an AI algorithm and does not use a training set.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document explicitly states: "It was determined that clinical evaluation was not required as all imaging devices have been previously cleared by the FDA."
Therefore, there was no clinical test set used for this specific 510(k) submission. The evaluation was based on non-clinical testing and substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring expert ground truth was used.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as no clinical test set requiring adjudication was used.
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:
Not applicable. The device is a diagnostic X-ray system, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool, and no MRMC study was conducted.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
Not applicable. The device is a diagnostic X-ray system, not an algorithm, and its performance is evaluated as a system used by a human operator.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
Not applicable for clinical ground truth, as no clinical evaluation was performed. For non-clinical performance (image quality, functional testing, safety), the "ground truth" was compliance with design specifications and relevant international standards.
8. The sample size for the training set:
The document does not describe the use of machine learning or AI models that would require a "training set" in the traditional sense. The device is a traditional X-ray system. The component parts, such as solid-state detectors and image processing software, are stated to have been "previously cleared by the FDA" or "tested and evaluated per Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices." Therefore, any implicit training (e.g., for image processing algorithms) would have occurred as part of the development and clearance of those component devices, but details are not provided here for the system submission.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as no training set for an AI/ML model is described for this device.
