#### Device Description:
Carestream Health, Inc. is submitting this Traditional 510(k) premarket notification for a modification to the cleared DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System (K170755). The product will continue to be marketed as the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System.
Consistent with the original system, the modified DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System (also referred to throughout this document as the Nano system) is a diagnostic mobile x-ray system utilizing digital radiography (DR) technology. The system consists
{4}------------------------------------------------
of a self contained x-ray generator, image receptor(s), imaging display and software for acquiring medical diagnostic images outside of a standard stationary x-ray room. The modified Nano system can also be used to expose Computed Radiography (CR) storage phosphor or film cassettes.
Modifications have been made to the design of the system's x-ray tube and its operational characteristics for the purpose of improving the x-ray tube reliability and life span. This required modifications to the embedded software to accommodate these tube design changes.
#### Indications for Use
The Indications for Use for the device, as described in its labeling, are: "The device is designed to perform radiographic x-ray examinations on pediatric and adult patients, in all patient treatment areas."
#### Intended Use
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 Nano system used to generate and control x-rays for diagnostic procedures. We believe that the Nano system and the predicate device have the same intended use.
#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
Modifications have been made to the design of the x-ray tube and its operational characteristics for the purpose of improving the x-ray tube reliability and life span.
The technical characteristics of the modified device are not different from the predicate device except for minor adjustments to tungsten thickness (on the anode), focal spot size, and maximum exposure current. These adjustments led to a reduction in generator power from 6.5 kW to 5.3 kW.
Based upon information provided within this submission, we believe that the modified DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed DRX-Revolution Nano X-ray System (K170755).
#### Discussion of Non-clinical Testing:
The performance characteristics and operation / usability of the DRX-Revolution Mobile Nano System were evaluated in non-clinical (bench) testing. These studies have demonstrated the intended workflow, related performance, overall function, shipping performance, verification and validation of requirements for intended use, and reliability of the system including both software and hardware requirements. Non-clinical test results have demonstrated that the device conforms to its specifications. 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.
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### Discussion of Clinical Testing (using Phantoms):
The diagnostic imaging performance of the modified DRX-Revolution Nano system was evaluated by executing a phantom imaging study.
#### Anthropomorphic Phantoms
The phantoms used for the imaging study were purchased commercial products intended for x-ray imaging tests. The phantoms represent different sections of the human anatomy and are anthropomorphic both in appearance, size, and x-ray attenuation characteristics. For example, the adult chest phantom ("Lungman") was manufactured by Kyoto Kagaku and it is widely accepted in the scientific community for x-ray imaging quality assessment. The particular phantom used contains actual human bone and simulated lung tissues.
Similarly, the adult pelvis phantom, also used in this study, contains actual human bones. As both the chest and the pelvis phantom only mimic a medium sized adult patient, larger sized patients were simulated by additional PMMA (acrylic glass) plates each of 2.5 cm in thickness to the two phantoms. For example, images were taken with no additional PMMA on the phantoms, one PMMA plate in the front of the phantoms, and one PMMA plate in both the front and the back of the phantoms (two PMMA plates in total). In summary, these two phantoms cover the anatomical regions of the lung, mediastinum, diaphragm, ribs, clavicles, shoulder, inferior c-spine, t-spine, l-spine, pelvis, and superior femur.
The other two anthropomorphic phantoms used in the clinical study were an upper limb and a lower limb representing anatomical size and structure of a typical five year old child. These phantoms were recently manufactured by CIRS Inc (Model number 715-A-L-FX and 715-L-R). They contain simulated human bone skeletons and also simulated soft tissue/muscle/fat around the skeletons. These phantoms are intended for imaging at both diagnostic and therapy x-ray energy ranges. These two phantoms cover the anatomical regions of the interior femur, knee, tibia/fibula (lower leg), ankle, foot, inferior humerus, elbow, ulna/radius (forearm), ankle, and hand.
The standard Gammex 610 neonatal chest phantom manufactured by Supertech, was used for the neonate imaging. It is designed for routine quality assurance monitoring of computed and digital radiography systems. This phantom replicates both the anatomic structure and the tissue attenuation characteristics of an actual human neonate.
In summary, we believe the anthropomorphic phantoms used in this study adequately represent the device's broad range of intended uses.
The study objective was to evaluate the imaging performance (diagnostic image quality) of the modified DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System using a radiologist reader rating scale (RadLex Rating) that is applicable to projection radiography. Three (3) board certified radiologists with extensive reading experience (Table 1) rated the images using the RadLex scale for diagnostic quality. The radiologists provided image quality ratings from 1.0 to 4.0 using a graduated RadLex rating scale (to one decimal place) to account for ratings between the absolute values (e.g. 3.1, 3.5, or 3.9).
{6}------------------------------------------------
For each reading session, the radiologists were given work lists of image cases to review on the CARESTREAM PACS Workstation. Images were randomized and displayed following a single stimulus format. In addition, the image work lists were randomized for the radiologists to avoid bias due to study learning curve or reader fatigue. The radiologists were allowed to pan, adjust window/level, and magnify on the PACS workstation while evaluating image quality.
#### Summary of Statistical Analysis Methodology
The statistical analysis is performed using Minitab® statistical software and Microsoft Excel for generating charts. Diagnostic quality ratings (RadLex Scale) are treated as a continuous variable for the descriptive statistics and hypothesis tests. The inferential tests are performed at the 5% level of significance.
Descriptive statistics including mean, standard error of the mean, median, standard deviation, and sample size are presented in Table 1 for all RadLex rating data.
| Statistic | Investigational RadLex<br>Rating |
|--------------------|----------------------------------|
| Mean | 3.595 |
| Standard Error | 0.028 |
| Median | 3.6 |
| Standard Deviation | 0.220 |
| Observation Count | 60 |
Table 1 - RadLex Rating Descriptive Statistics
Applying the one-sample t-test to the mean RadLex rating we find statistical significance. At a 95% significance level the mean of the DRX-Revolution Nano RadLex rating data is greater than the mid-value (3.5) of the Diagnostic (3) quality image rating scale. There is no significant difference in ratings across Readers. The ANOVA vields a p-value greater than alpha (0.05) which fails to reject the null hypothesis "All means are equal" (referring to the RadLex rating means of each Reader). In summary, the three different Readers are similar in their evaluation of the images.
#### Conclusion
The mean RadLex rating for the 60 responses is 3.6. 100% of the image ratings were Diagnostic (3) quality. Approximately 78 % of the total number of rating responses falls in the mid to upper end of the Diagnostic (3) RadLex Rating scale between Diagnostic and Exemplary. The one- sample t-test yields statistical significance at the 95% significance level. This result implies quality ratings equal to or better than a Diagnostic (3) quality rating. There is no significant difference in ratings across Readers.
#### Summary
The statistical test results and graphical summaries demonstrate the DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System Study using Phantoms delivers quality imaging performance that is rated Diagnostic.
Results of the Phantom Reader Study indicated that the diagnostic capability of the modified DRX-Revolution Nano Mobile X-ray System is statistically equivalent to or better than that of the predicate device.
