Intended Use
The KRYSTAL-X WiFi digital system is used to provide instant digital images of human oral tissue and teeth without the use of a conventional x-ray film. It is used for diagnosis purpose, by dental practitioners. This is achieved by using the conventional x-ray tube (which is a third party device, not part of Krystal-X WiFi), and placing an electronic sensor in the patients' mouth instead of conventional film. The sensor, upon radiation exposure, automatically captures instantaneously and transmits the images by WiFi to the computer. The computer and imaging software (which is not provided by OWANDY) controls all aspects of image acquisition and image display, storage and printing. Additional software (after, and not part of, image capture software) is available on the market. They allow for enhancements such as zoom, contrasts controls, image inversion, and pseudo color renditions. The main advantages of this digital imaging system are: high definition, ensuring high-value diagnostics, and reduction of X-rav dosage. In no case, is it to be used directly by the patient. So, it is used exclusively in a healthcare specific environment. The WiFi device modification to our model Krystal-X in no way alters the indications for use of this device beyond what was originally approved in K053172.
Device Story
Wireless digital X-ray sensor for intraoral radiography; captures X-ray radiation via scintillator coupled to digital sensor; converts radiation to digital image; transmits data via WiFi to external PC. Used by dental practitioners in clinical settings. Requires third-party X-ray tube and separate imaging software for acquisition, display, storage, and printing. Enhancements (zoom, contrast, inversion) performed by external software. Benefits include high-definition diagnostics and reduced X-ray dosage compared to film.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and design similarities to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Intraoral digital X-ray sensor; scintillator coupled to digital image sensor; WiFi wireless transmission module; requires external X-ray tube and PC-based imaging software. Operates as a peripheral for digital image acquisition.
Indications for Use
Indicated for dental practitioners to capture digital images of human oral tissue and teeth for diagnostic purposes. Not for patient self-use; intended for healthcare environments.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An extraoral source x-ray system is an AC-powered device that produces x-rays and is intended for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, jaw, and oral structures. The x-ray source (a tube) is located outside the mouth. This generic type of device may include patient and equipment supports and component parts.

## 510(k) Summary
This summary of Safety and Effectiveness is in accordance with the requirements of:
- Device Description .
Krystal-X WiFi is a wireless digital X-ray sensor for intraoral radiography.
- · Intended Use
The wireless digital X-ray sensor is intended to capture an intraoral digital X-ray for diagnostic purposes. The process is automatic; it continues by transmitting the digital image to a Personal Computer via WiFi. It requires additional components such as conventional X-ray tube and image capture software, currently available commercially.
- Summary of Substantial Equivalence Comparison .
K061114 - WDS X-RAY, CEFLA
K050693 - ACCENT, AIR TECHNIQUES, INC.
K022953 - CDR Wireless, SCHICK TECHNOLOGIES
K053172 - KRYSTAL-X,
The proposed and predicated devices use similar components and are similar in design, technical characteristics and mode of operation. All the systems include a scintillator coupled to a digital image sensor, electronic circuits to analyze the digital image and a method of wireless transmission to transmit the digital image to a personal computer for viewing and further management of the file. The proposed and the predicated devices are substantially equivalent;
- WDS X-RAY is a wireless digital X-Ray sensor that captures an intraoral . X-Ray, when exposed to X-Rays and transmits images via Bluetooth wireless technology, for diagnostic purposes ..
- . ACCENT is a wireless sensor very similar to WDS, which also transmits images via Bluetooth wireless technology.
- . KRYSTAL-X is a conventional system, non-wireless, but identical in all other regards to KRYSTAL-X WiFi.
{1}------------------------------------------------
- CDR Wireless is a wireless sensor that captures and transmits images via . RF (Radio Frequency).
KRYSTAL-X WiFi is most similar in components to the original KRYSTAL-X, from our company, which was cleared by your agency on June 9, 2006.
The only difference is the method of communication between the sensor and the computer from a wired to a wireless interface. This modification is similar to the one Schick Technologies did when they introduced the CDR Wireless which modified their original CDR.
