Dear Doonam Choi:

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.

The subject mobile system PROMO is strongly based on the predicate TOPAZ. The x-ray exposure characteristics are the same and the flat-panel detectors are unchanged from the predicate. Bench testing was conducted to evaluate the image performance of the detector. The results showed that PROMO meets or exceeds TOPAZ in key image quality metrics such as uniformity, SNR, linearity, spatial resolution, and low contrast resolution. Therefore, the substantial equivalence in image quality performance is supported by objective bench testing data.

# 8. SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION

The PROMO is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed and predicate device TOPAZ (K242015) in terms of the design features, technological characteristics, indications for use, and safety and effectiveness. Additionally, substantial equivalence was demonstrated with non-clinical performance tests and testing as per FDA-recognized consensus standards. The test results demonstrate that the device conforms to its specifications and is safe and effective for its intended use.
