Intended Use

The ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C are indicated for use in general radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures, excluding fluoroscopic, angiographic, and mammographic applications.

Device Story

ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C are flat-panel digital X-ray detectors; replace traditional film/screen systems. Device captures radiographic images in electronic format; eliminates chemical processing. Radiologists/physicians adjust images electronically at a workstation to optimize anatomy visualization. System enables image duplication and network transmission to other physicians without additional patient exposure. Used in clinical settings for general-purpose diagnostic radiography. Benefits include reduced radiation exposure via elimination of retakes and improved workflow through digital storage and transmission.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evaluation involved 30 pairs of clinical images acquired using both the ATAL 8 and the predicate device. A board-certified radiologist reviewed the images and declared the ATAL 8 equivalent or superior to the predicate, confirming diagnostic quality.

Technological Characteristics

Amorphous silicon flat-panel detector; 3072x3072 pixel array; 430x430 mm active area; 3.1 lp/mm resolution. General radiography application. Performance testing per FDA Guidance for Solid State Imaging Devices (MTF, DQE, Quantum Limited Performance, Aliasing, Linearity, Lag).

Indications for Use

Indicated for general radiographic imaging of human anatomy in patients requiring diagnostic procedures. Excludes fluoroscopic, angiographic, and mammographic applications.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A stationary x-ray system is a permanently installed diagnostic system intended to generate and control x-rays for examination of various anatomical regions. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A radiographic contrast tray or radiology diagnostic kit intended for use with a stationary x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

| Contact person: | John Ross, General Manager, 949-929-5910 | | |
| Trade name: | ATAL 8 and ATAL 8 C | | |
| Common name: | Solid state X-ray imager | Class: | 2 |
| Classification name: | Solid state x-ray imager (flat panel/digital<br>imager) | Product code: | MQI |
| Predicate device: | DRTech FLAATZ 750 K080064 | | |
| Device description: | The ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C are flat-panel type digital X-ray detectors that<br>capture radiographic images in digital format within seconds, eliminating<br>the need for an entire X-ray film or an image plate as an image capture<br>medium. The ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C device differs from traditional X-ray<br>systems in that, instead of exposing a film and chemically processing it to<br>create a hard copy image, a device called a Detector Panel is used to<br>capture the image in electronic form. Once the system captures a<br>radiographic image and subsequently displays and stores an image,<br>radiologists or physicians can adjust the image electronically to optimize<br>the view of the desired anatomy at a workstation. The system enables a<br>user to duplicate images without having to take additional exposures so<br>that the user can easily transmit a duplicate to the second physician who<br>needs the duplicate image through the network. The ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C<br>differ only in the enclosure type. They have identical technological<br>characteristics. | | |
| Intended use: | The ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C are indicated for use in general radiographic<br>images of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic<br>film/screen systems in all general-purpose diagnostic procedures,<br>excluding fluoroscopic, angiographic, and mammographic applications. | | |
| Technological<br>characteristics: | Amorphous silicon detector producing an image of 3072x3072 pixels. The<br>image area is 430x430 mm with a resolution of 3.1 lp/mm. The intended<br>application of this detector is general radiography. | | |
| Non-clinical tests<br>submitted or relied upon: | Non-clinical testing included performance tests, EMC tests, Electrical<br>Safety and software validation tests. The performance testing was based<br>on the requirements of the FDA Guidance Document for Solid State<br>Imaging Devices and included tests for MTF, DQE, Quantum Limited<br>Performance, Effects of Aliasing, Output Signal Level and Linearity, and<br>Lag or residual signal level from prior exposure | | |
| Clinical tests submitted or<br>relied upon: | Clinical image sets were obtained for both the ATAL 8 and the predicate<br>device and they were compared to show equivalence. The clinical<br>evaluation was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance Document<br>wherein 30 pairs of clinical images are acquired and a board certified<br>Radiologist reviewed the images and declared the new panel to be<br>equivalent or better than the predicate device, and that the images are of<br>diagnostic quality. | | |
| Substantial equivalence<br>conclusion: | The ATAL 8 and ATAL 8C and its predicate are different in minor details,<br>but they are substantially equivalent with respect to intended use,<br>technological and performance characteristics. The devices are as safe, as<br>effective, and perform as well as or better than the legally marketed<br>predicate device. | | |

### Dear Mr. Kamm:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into class II (Special Controls), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in Title 21, 1 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 800 to 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Parts 801 and 809); medical device reporting (reporting of
