Intended Use

Europa (Alternative: AiRTouch) portable X-ray system is intended for use by trained or qualified doctors to produce diagnostic X-ray images of extremities in adult and pediatric(over 12 years old) patients. These images are obtained using anatomical structures captured by film or image processing systems (workstation) after an examination involving radiation exposure with cassette IP, CR, or DR (portable flat panel). Only intended for stand-mounted use.

Device Story

Portable X-ray system generates diagnostic images of extremities; utilizes high-voltage generator, X-ray tube, and rechargeable 22.2VDC Lithium-Ion Polymer battery. Operated by trained clinicians/technicians; device must be mounted on a tripod stand. User selects kVp and exposure time via manual controls on LCD interface; remote hand switch triggers two-stage exposure. X-rays penetrate patient anatomy to reach external receptors (film, CR, or DR flat panel). Output images are viewed by clinicians on external workstations to inform diagnostic decisions. Benefits include portable, adjustable radiation parameters for optimized image quality compared to fixed-setting predecessors.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of bench testing and clinical image evaluation. Clinical images taken with Europa 85 and 90 models demonstrated appropriate image quality for bony and soft tissues of upper and lower extremities. Device safety verified against IEC 60601-1, 60601-1-2, 60601-1-3, 60601-2-28, 60601-2-54, and IEC 62133 standards.

Technological Characteristics

Portable X-ray system; 22.2VDC Lithium-Ion Polymer battery; manual double-slit collimator; two-stage triggering. Variable kVp (50-90) and mA (2-5) settings. Dimensions vary by model (e.g., 266mm x 167mm x 156mm for Europa 85). Stand-mounted operation. Complies with 21 CFR 1020.30/31 and IEC 60601 series. Software-controlled user interface for exposure parameters.

Indications for Use

Indicated for trained/qualified doctors to produce diagnostic X-ray images of extremities in adult and pediatric patients over 12 years old. Contraindicated for non-stand-mounted use.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A mobile x-ray system is a transportable device system intended to be used to generate and control x-ray for diagnostic procedures. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

Dear Dave Kim:

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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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 Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
