### Indications for Use / Intended Use:

The Indications for Use for the device, as described in its labeling, are:

"The device is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy including both pediatric and adult patients. The device is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications wherever conventional screen-film systems or CR systems may be used. Excluded from the indications for use are mammography, fluoroscopy, and angiography applications."

The intended use for this device, as determined by descriptions and the proposed labeling contained in this submission, is similar to the Indications for Use statement provided above. The Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus Detectors is a diagnostic imaging system utilizing digital radiography (DR) technology that is used to capture x-rays for diagnostic procedures. We believe that the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 3543 and DRX Plus 3543C Detectors and the predicate device have the same intended use.

The Indications for Use for the subject device is the same as for the predicate device and the intended use remains unchanged. Any variation in features or technical specifications have been identified and addressed through testing (described below) to support a substantial equivalence determination.

#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

Based upon information provided within this submission. we believe that the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 3543 and DRX Plus 3543C Detectors is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX-1 System Detector and DRX 2530C Detector (predicate device). Both the currently marketed DRX-1 and DRX 2530C Detectors and the new DRX Plus Detectors are used in combination with the image processing software and user interface resident on the DRX-1 System Console component of the Carestream DRX-1 System. The system is used to directly capture conventional projected x-rays to generate digital images, regardless of which detector is being used. An image can be displayed on a preview monitor for viewing with any of the detectors. The system can transmit diagnostic images through a digital network for diagnostic viewing and printing regardless of which detector is used.

The predicate (DRX-1/DRX-1C) and replacement (DRX Plus 3543/3543C) detectors share almost identical design specifications. However, the new DRX Plus Detectors also conform to requirements for additional features such as IPX7 liquid resistance, support for future software features, extended battery life, lighter weight, and improved image quality. The physical size of the new detectors is identical to the DRX-1 and DRX-1C Detectors except for the thickness. The new detectors are 1.47cm thick while the DRX-1/DRX-1C detectors are 1.55cm thick. The materials used to fabricate the DRX-1/DRX-1C and DRX Plus detectors are similar. All have powder coated (painted) aluminum housings with plastic bumpers and a carbon fiber panel, and all use the same DRX-1 system battery or tether for power.

{5}------------------------------------------------

Internally, the four detectors are also similar, containing various printed circuit boards, a core plate upon which the detector glass is adhered, and either a GOS or CsI scintillator to convert x-rays to light. The DRX Plus GOS scintillator is exactly the same as the DRX-1 (predicate) except that it is laminated to the glass. The CsI scintillator on the new DRX Plus detector is deposited to the same specifications as the DRX-1C detector. The glass used on both DRX Plus detectors is identical in active pixel area and pixel pitch to the detectors used with the predicate device. However, the glass used for the DRX Plus 3543/3543C Detectors has increased sensitivity over the DRX-1 glass. The increased sensitivity of the glass and associated electronics allows the DRX Plus Detectors to exceed the imaging performance characteristics of the DRX-1 and DRX-1C detectors.

#### Discussion of Testing:

The performance characteristics and operation / usability of the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus 3543 and DRX Plus 3543C Detectors were evaluated in non-clinical (bench) testing in accordance with FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State Imaging Devices".

Non-clinical test results have demonstrated that the device conforms to its specifications. Acceptance criteria were determined based on desired performance with respect to image quality, intended use, workflow related performance, shipping performance, and general functionality and reliability, including both hardware and software requirements. Predefined acceptance criteria were met and demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device: therefore supporting a substantial equivalence determination. Acceptance criteria were identified for weight, pixel size, resolution, pixel pitch, total pixel area, usable pixel area. MTF (at various spatial resolutions), DQE (at various spatial resolutions), sensitivity, ghosting, boot-up time, operating temperature, exposure latitude, signal uniformity, and dark noise (ADC).

A concurrence study of clinical image pairs was performed in accordance with FDA guidance document "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State Imaging Devices" to demonstrate the diagnostic capability of the Carestream DRX-1 System with the new DRX Plus 3543 and DRX Plus 3543C Detectors. Results of the Reader Study indicated that the diagnostic capability of the Carestream DRX-1 System with DRX Plus Detectors is statistically equivalent to or better than that of the predicate device. Clinical images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the nature of modifications to the device and adequacy of the non-clinical data, but they provide further evidence in addition to the laboratory performance data to show that the device works as intended.

#### Consensus Standards:

The device conforms to ISO 14971:2012, Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Set, IEC 60601-1+Amd 1 - 3td Edition 2005, CFR 47 part 15, ANSI C95.1, and IEC 60601-1-2:2007.

## Compatibility:

Carestream has a documented validation and verification process for integrating the Carestream DRX-1 System and DRX 3543 Plus detectors with OEM x-ray consoles that were originally installed by other manufacturers as analog or computed radiography x-ray systems. The modifications made to the existing x-ray system are limited to integration between the hand-switch and its connector to the x-ray system console. Sales and service personnel are qualified to determine whether the Carestream DRX-1 System can be integrated with a particular x-ray system. Once installed, proper operation is verified before the system is turned over for use on patients.

As of March 21, 2013, the systems listed in the Compatibility List (Table 1) have been found compatible with the Carestream DRX-1 System. This list may be updated in the future to include additional compatible systems.

exposure on the Carestream DRX-1 System Console and separately asserts the "expose" command to the x-ray generator when the Console indicates the detector is ready. The detector determines when an exposure has arrived and captures the image.

### Conclusion:

In conclusion, the new detectors are equivalent or superior to the DRX-1/DRX-1C detectors in all applicable parameters recommended by the Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State Imaging Devices. Image quality parameters such as DQE, sensitivity, and MTF of the DRX Plus detectors demonstrate this. The tests used to determine these parameters were performed using industry standards. Liquid resistance of the DRX Plus detectors as compared to the DRX-1 Detectors is improved from IPX1 liquid resistance to IPX7 liquid resistance as tested and confirmed by a certified independent laboratory.

In addition to meeting specifications for the new features included in the DRX Plus detectors, the new detectors have been tested to conform to applicable existing specifications of the predicate DRX-1 detectors. Quality Assurance tests with traceable links to design inputs were performed to verify conformance to specifications. In addition, tests were included to confirm mitigation of risks identified in an extensive product hazard risk analysis based on results of a Failure Mode Effects Analysis.
