Dear Hiroaki Hashimoto:

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"

## 4. Device Description

RadiForce GX570 is a monochrome LCD monitor for viewing medical images including those of mammography. The monochrome panel employs in-plane switching (IPS) technology allowing wide viewing angles and the matrix size (or resolution) is 2,048 x 2,560 pixels (5MP) with a pixel pitch of 0.165 mm.

Since factory calibrated display modes, each of which is characterized by a specific tone curve (including DICOM GSDF), a specific luminance range and a specific color temperature, are stored in lookup tables within the monitor, the tone curve is e.g. DICOM compliant regardless of the display controller used. This helps ensure tone curves even if a display controller or workstation must be replaced or serviced.

The Digital Uniformity Equalizer function compensates luminance non-uniformity, one of the inherent characteristics of LCD panel modules, to the levels required by various QC standards and guidelines.

The Sharpness Recovery function compensates sharpness degradation caused by the inherent characteristics of LCD panel modules (A user selectable).

There are two model variations, GX570 and GX570-AR. The difference of the two variations is the surface treatment of the display screens; the surface treatment of the GX570 is Anti-Glare (AG) treatment and that of the GX570-AR is Anti-Reflection (AR) coating.

Two GX570 monitors mounted on a single stand configuration is available identified by with "MD" like GX570-MD and GX570-AR-MD.

RadiCS is application software to be installed in each workstation offering worry-free quality control of diagnostic monitors including the RadiForce GX570 based on the QC standards and guidelines and is capable of quantitative tests and visual tests defined by them. The RadiCS is included in this 510(k) submission as an accessory to the RadiForce GX570.

RadiCS is of Basic Documentation Level and that it's being used unchanged from the predicate software. RadiCS supports the functions of the monitor RadiForce GX570 and it's not a medical imaging software.

## 5. Indications for use

This product is intended for use in clinical radiological images (including full-field digital mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis) for review, analysis, and diagnosis by trained medical practitioners.

- Measurement of spatial resolution expressed as modulation transfer function (MTF)
- The maximum number allowed for each type of pixel defects/faults
- Visual check of presence or absence of miscellaneous artifacts on the display screen as specified in TG18 guideline
- Measurement of temporal response
- Measurement of Luminance
- Verification of the conformance to DICOM GSDF as specified in Assessment of Display Performance for Medical Imaging Systems by AAPM Task Group 18 (TG18 guideline)
- Measurement of the angular dependency of luminance response in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions
- Measurement of the luminance non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as specified in TG18 guideline
- Measurement of the chromaticity non-uniformity characteristics of the display screen as specified in TG18 guideline
