Intended Use
The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
Device Story
GC85A is a stationary digital X-ray imaging system; captures radiographic images of human anatomy. X-rays pass through patient; detector converts radiation to electrical signals; signals undergo amplification and digital conversion. S-Station software saves images in DICOM format for PACS transmission. Includes optional post-processing software: SimGrid compensates for contrast loss due to scatter radiation in non-grid acquisitions; Bone Suppression Image (BSI) removes rib/clavicle anatomy to enhance lung field visualization. S-Align and S-Guide assist with detector positioning and stitching. Operated by clinicians/technicians in clinical settings. Output used by radiologists for diagnostic assistance. Benefits include improved image contrast and enhanced visualization of soft tissues/lesions in chest pathology.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical image evaluations performed per FDA guidance for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices. Professional radiologists evaluated clinical images for SimGrid and BSI software. Results demonstrated that SimGrid provides improved local contrast compared to non-grid acquisitions. BSI software was validated as useful for diagnostic assistance in visualizing soft tissues and lesions in the lung field. Overall image quality was found equivalent to predicate devices.

### 7. Device Description
The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system is used to capture images by transmitting Xray to a patient's body. The X-ray passing through a patient's body is sent to the detector and then converted into electrical signals. These signals go through the process of amplification and digital data conversion in the signal process device before being sent to the S-Station (Operation Software) and saved in DICOM file, a standard for medical imaging. The captured images are sent to the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) server, and can be used for reading images.
The SimGrid is a post-image processing software option which is able to compensate the contrast loss due to scatter radiations, primarily acquisitions without a physical antiscatter grid.
The Bone Suppression Image (BSI) is a post-image processing software option which provides companion images to assist diagnosis in addition to the images obtained from normal diagnosis protocol. The BSI software option suppresses bone anatomy to enhance visualization of chest pathology in a companion image that is delivered in addition to the original diagnostic image.
The SimGrid and BSI are available as options to be exclusively installed in S-station, which is a Samsung Digital X-ray operation S/W, since this post-image processing software does not depend on how the image is acquired, or with what acquisition device.
#### 8. Intended Use
The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
The SimGrid is a technology that enhances the visibility of major clinical equipment by compensating for the decrease in contrast that is caused by scatter radiation when the portable grid is not used for portable images.
Bone Suppression is a technology that helps to create images with good lung field visibility by removing part of the ribs and clavicle with S/W algorithms. It is used as diagnosis assistance for areas that the image reader is interested in, such as soft tissues and lesions in the lung field.
### 9. Summary of Technological characteristic of the proposed device compared with the predicate devices
The proposed device, GC85A, has the same technological characteristics as its original predicate device, GC85A (K150165), and adds two post-image processing software features, SimGrid and BSI(Bone Suppression Image), and other minor software features such as S-Align & S-Guide, and hardware such as a collimator and a weight distribution cap. All features do not have significant change in materials, energy source or technological characteristics compared to the predicate devices #1, 2 & 3.
