Regulation
21 CFR 892.1680
Device Class
Class 2
Indications for Use
The indications for use for the FUJI SPBBD SUITE is the same as the predicate de-Inc : Indiagraphic exposures of the entire body specifically the skull, spinal column, chest, and abdomen, as well as extremities, the identification, capture, digitization, and processing of diagnostic x-ray images, and associating patient and exam identification with the images.
Device Story
Speed Suite integrates existing Fuji computed radiography (CR) image readers and workstations with Siemens radiographic hardware (tube, generator, collimator, table, wall stand). System uses X-CON software/hardware to interface Fuji ID-T741 or IIP workstations with Siemens Polydoros IT 55 generator. Workflow: operator selects patient exam on workstation; system displays anatomical menus and default exposure parameters; data transfers to generator to initiate exposure; exposure data (kV, mAs, spot size) returns to workstation. Used in clinical settings by technologists/radiographers. Enables automated exposure parameter setting based on selected exam, with manual override capability. Benefits include streamlined workflow and integration of multi-vendor radiographic components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by validation studies and risk analysis demonstrating the integration of previously cleared components is a minor change with minimal risk.
Technological Characteristics
Stationary x-ray system integrating Fuji CR readers (FCR 5501D/ES/5502D) and Siemens radiographic components (Optitop tube, Polydoros IT 55 generator, AL01 collimator, Multix-L/3D Top-ACSS stands, Multix Compact K table). Connectivity via X-CON software/hardware interface. Software manages anatomical menus and exposure parameter transfer between workstation and generator.
Indications for Use
Indicated for radiographic exposures of the entire body, including skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, and extremities; identification, capture, digitization, and processing of diagnostic x-ray images; and associating patient/exam identification with images.

| Fuji ID-T741 ID terminal | K993861 |
#### Description of the Device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)]
## Summary of the function of the device and its major components:
The Speed Suite combines the following components and devices in one package.
12) Fuji Computed Radiography Image Reader (FCR 5501D, FCR 5501D-ES, or FCR 5502D table).
{1}------------------------------------------------
13) IIP Workstation
- 14) ID-T741A ID terminal
15) Siemens X-ray Tube (Optitop 150/40/80HC)
- 16) Siemens X-ray Generator (Polydoros IT 55)
- 17) Siemens Automatic Collimator (AL01)
- 18) Siemens Tube Stand
- a. Floor Mounted Tube Stand Multix-L
- b. Ceiling Mounted Tube Stand 3D Top-ACSS with optional tracking
- 19} Central electronic unit (ZE)
- 20) Siemens Multix Compact K bucky table
- 21) Siemens Rasterwanderat bucky wall stand
- 22) X-CON software
The Speed Suite utilizes devices that have already received 510(k) marketing clearance from FDA. The primary difference is the addition of the X-CON software that allows the Fuji image readers to I he primary and interface with the Siemens X-ray equipment. X-CON refers to a combination of software and hardware that will integrate the Fuji ID-T741 or IIP workstation with the Siemens Polydoros IT 55. The ID-T741 or IIP workstation will interface directly to both the Fuji image reader and to the Polydoros IT55 via cabling. The software for the ID-T741 and IIP workstation is adapted to inte wate existing patient anatomical menus according to defaults, so that a selected patient exam will display parameters for an associated x-ray exposure menus can be adjusted according to user preferences, and all defaults can be overridden. Once the patient exam is selected, the exposure data information is transferred to the generator, thus initiating the exposure according to direcsure and morniance to the fixed data for kV, mAs and spot size will be sent back to the ID-T741 terminal or IIIP workstation.
#### Intended Use [21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)]
The indications for use for the FUJI SPBBD SUITE is the same as the predicate de-Inc : Indiagraphic exposures of the entire body specifically the skull, spinal column, chest, and abdomen, as well as extremities, the identification, capture, digitization, and processing of diagnostic x-ray images, and associating patient and exam identification with the images.
## Technological Characteristics [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)]
The subject device represents a minor revision to devices that have been already cleared by FDA. The Speed Syste groups Siemens and Fuji devices into one package and includes X-CON software which allows the Fuji Radiographic equipment to communicate with the Siemens X-ray equipment.
#### Performance Data [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1)]
Based on validation studies and risk analysis, we believe this is a minor change that is of minimal risk.
{2}------------------------------------------------
#### Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)}
Hospitals usually purchase radiographic image equipment separately from different manufacturers. The equipment is usually connected in form or another. Therefore, the Speed Suite does not introduce a new concept or technology.
In conclusion, the subject device is utilizing components that have already been cleared by FDA and have been used safely and effectively in clinical environments. The subject device includes a minor revision to the product involving software that interfaces between Fuji radiographic equipment and Siemens X-ray equipment. At anytime the exposure data can be overridden by the operator/technologist and a manual generator technique can be selected.
The components of the subject device comply with recognized safety and consensus standards.
We conclude the subject device to be as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

Two short videos show you everything — or skip straight to the written tutorial if you'd rather read. You can reopen this any time from the Tutorial button in the top bar.
Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
