Indications for Use
MedXion NEXUS is intended to produce three-dimensional digital X-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial region, and ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) and neck region at the direction of healthcare professionals as diagnostic support for adult and pediatric patients. This device is not intended for use on patients less than approximately 21 kg (46 lb) in weight and 113 cm (44.5 in) in height; these height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 5 year old. Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average size can result in excessive radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatric patients may be more radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.
Device Story
medXion NEXUS is a computed tomography (CT) X-ray system for dental, oral, maxillofacial, and ENT imaging. The system comprises a scanner and a console. During operation, a rotation arm moves around the patient's head; an X-ray generator emits radiation, which is captured by a flat panel detector (FPD). The console receives raw absorption data, performs image reconstruction to generate 3D CT and tomographic images, and provides image analysis tools (e.g., airway measurement). The device is operated by healthcare professionals in a clinical setting. Patient movement is managed via neck supports and head stabilizers; no patient restraints are used. The system utilizes continuous exposure with high-frame-rate acquisition to maintain diagnostic quality at lower radiation doses compared to pulsed systems. Output images are used by clinicians for diagnostic support. The device benefits patients by providing high-resolution diagnostic imaging with optimized radiation exposure.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including electrical safety (IEC 60601-1 series), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and image quality performance (IEC 61223-3-7). Metal artifact reduction (MAR) was verified using phantoms.
Technological Characteristics
Computed tomography X-ray system; 90-110kV tube voltage; 1-3mA tube current; 0.3mm x 0.3mm focal spot. Detector: IGZO TFT flat panel. Connectivity: DICOM (NEMA PS 3.1-3.20). Non-sterile; no patient-contacting materials. Software: Image analysis system for 3D reconstruction and airway measurement. Standards: ANSI/AAMI 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2 Ed 4.1, IEC 60601-1-3 Ed 2.2, IEC 60601-1-6 Ed 3.2, IEC 60601-2-63 Ed 1.2, IEC 62304 Ed 1.1, ISO 14971.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients (≥21 kg, ≥113 cm) for 3D digital X-ray imaging of dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions as diagnostic support.

## 6. Indication for Use Statement
MedXion NEXUS is intended to produce three-dimensional digital X-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial region, and ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) and neck region at the direction of healthcare professionals as diagnostic support for adult and pediatric patients.
This device is not intended for use on patients less than approximately 21 kg (46 lb) in weight and 113 cm (44.5 in) in height; these height and weight measurements approximately correspond to that of an average 5 year old. Use of equipment and exposure settings designed for adults of average size can result in excessive radiation exposure for a smaller patient. Studies have shown that pediatric patients may be more radiosensitive than adults (i.e., the cancer risk per unit dose of ionizing radiation is higher), and so unnecessary radiation exposure is of particular concern for pediatric patients.
## 7. Device Description
medXion NEXUS consists of a scanner, which is used for generating X-ray and detecting image data, and a Console, which is used for operating the scanner and managing the data. The scan data acquired by the scanner will be transferred to the Console. medXion NEXUS Image Analysis System will then perform the image analysis or image edition (creating cross-section diagram, etc.), and output the image to a printer.
X-ray image data is acquired while the rotation arm is rotating around the secured “patient’s head” at a constant speed. X-rays, which are emitted from X-ray generator (built in one side of rotation arm), pass through a patient and are detected by the flat panel detector (built in the other side of rotation arm). The detected X-ray absorption data is used to process image reconstruction on the Console to create the 3D image (CT scan) and the tomographic image.
This device does not use patient restraints such as chin rests or headrests, as requested by the customer. Neck supports and head stabilizers are used to suppress patient movement.
As “Table-6A: Comparison of Characteristics” shows that medXion NEXUS (Device in concern) is the equivalent with the predicate device, PreXion3D Explorer EX (K193329).

The subject and predicate devices also have differences in technological characteristics, summarized as follows:
1. Indications for use
The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, and the Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX, have the same intended use. Both devices are intended to produce three-dimensional digital X-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT (ear, nose, and throat), and neck regions. Both devices are used at the direction of healthcare professionals as diagnostic support for adult and pediatric patients.
The Predicate Device includes additional descriptive language regarding minimum patient height and weight and warnings related to radiation exposure in smaller pediatric patients. The Subject Device does not include explicit numerical height or weight limitations in its Indications for Use. This difference does not represent a change in intended use or target patient population. Rather, the additional language in the Predicate Device provides precautionary and explanatory information related to known radiation safety considerations for pediatric patients.
Therefore, the differences in pediatric-related wording do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness, and the Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device with respect to Indications for Use.
2. Patient Contact Material:
The Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX, includes a chin rest that may contact the patient's skin during use. The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, does not include a chin rest and therefore does not have any direct or indirect patient-contacting components.
This difference does not affect the intended use, clinical application, or safety and effectiveness of the device. The Subject Device eliminates patient skin contact associated with a chin rest by using alternative non-contact or repositioned patient support and alignment methods. (e.g., using a chair with a backrest or headrest) As a result, the Subject Device presents an equal or lower biocompatibility risk compared to the Predicate Device.
{11}
medXion Technologies Inc.
Traditional 510(k) Premarket Submission
medXion NEXUS
Because the Subject Device has no patient-contacting materials, biocompatibility evaluation in accordance with ISO 10993 is not required. The absence of patient-contacting components does not introduce new risks and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Therefore, despite the presence of a chin rest in the Predicate Device and its absence in the Subject Device, the devices are substantially equivalent with respect to patient contact materials.
## 3. Exposure Function
The Predicate Device utilizes a pulsed exposure function, while the Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, employs a continuous exposure mode during image acquisition. This difference represents an implementation choice in exposure control and does not change the intended use or diagnostic purpose of the device.
The Subject Device adopts continuous exposure in combination with a high-speed, high frame-rate image acquisition system. This design allows sufficient image data to be acquired within a shorter total scan time, thereby enabling the use of lower exposure per frame and reducing the need for repeated or prolonged exposures. As a result, the overall patient radiation dose can be equal to or lower than that of pulsed exposure systems designed for comparable diagnostic performance.
Therefore, the use of continuous exposure with high frame-rate imaging in the Subject Device does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness and supports substantial equivalence to the Predicate Device with respect to the exposure function.
## 4. Pixel Size / Pixel Number
The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, and the Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX, utilize digital X-ray detectors with different nominal pixel sizes and numbers. This difference reflects a design choice in detector technology and does not affect the intended use, clinical application, or diagnostic purpose of the devices.
Both devices are designed to produce diagnostically acceptable three-dimensional images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions. The effective spatial resolution of each system is determined by the overall imaging chain, including detector characteristics, focal spot size, system geometry, reconstruction algorithms, and image processing, rather than pixel size alone.

The Subject Device compensates for pixel size differences through system-level optimization, including detector performance, acquisition parameters, and image reconstruction methods, to achieve image quality suitable for the same diagnostic tasks as the Predicate Device. Image quality performance has been verified through appropriate bench testing and image quality evaluations, demonstrating that the Subject Device provides comparable diagnostic information.
Therefore, the difference in pixel size does not introduce new clinical indications, does not impact diagnostic performance, and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device with respect to pixel size and image resolution.
# 5. Size of Active Area
The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, utilizes a digital X-ray detector with a larger active area compared to the Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX. This difference represents a design enhancement and does not alter the intended use, diagnostic purpose, or target patient population of the device.
The larger active area of the Subject Device provides improved anatomical coverage per acquisition, which reduces the need for repositioning or repeat scans and supports efficient image acquisition. This design characteristic may improve workflow and can contribute to dose efficiency by minimizing the likelihood of additional exposures due to incomplete coverage.
Despite this difference, both devices are intended to acquire diagnostically acceptable two-dimensional and three-dimensional images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions. The fundamental imaging principles, X-ray generation, image acquisition, reconstruction, and display functions are comparable between the two devices.
The increased active area does not introduce new clinical indications, new imaging modes, or new user interactions. Image quality and radiation dose performance of the Subject Device have been verified through appropriate bench testing to demonstrate that it meets applicable performance and safety requirements and provides diagnostic information comparable to the Predicate Device.
Therefore, the difference in detector active area does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device with respect to detector active area.

## 6. SID
The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, and the Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX, have different nominal source-to-image distances (SID). This difference reflects a system geometry design choice and does not affect the intended use, clinical application, or diagnostic purpose of the devices.
Both devices are designed to produce diagnostically acceptable three-dimensional X-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions. The overall image quality and radiation dose performance are determined by the complete imaging system, including SID, focal spot size, detector characteristics, acquisition parameters, and image reconstruction algorithms, rather than SID alone.
The Subject Device optimizes its system geometry to balance image magnification, spatial resolution, and radiation dose. Any differences in SID are compensated through detector design, acquisition settings, and reconstruction processing to achieve image quality suitable for the same diagnostic tasks as the Predicate Device. Performance verification testing demonstrates that the Subject Device provides comparable diagnostic information.
The difference in SID does not introduce new clinical indications, new imaging modes, or new user interactions, and does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Therefore, despite differences in SID, the Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device with respect to imaging geometry and diagnostic performance.
## 7. FOV
The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, provides a larger maximum field of view (FOV) compared to the Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX. This difference represents a design enhancement and does not change the intended use, diagnostic purpose, or target patient population of the device.
The larger FOV of the Subject Device allows broader anatomical coverage in a single acquisition, which may reduce the need for multiple scans or patient repositioning and can improve clinical workflow. This capability supports comprehensive imaging of the dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions for the same diagnostic applications as the Predicate Device.

Despite the difference in maximum FOV size, both devices operate based on the same imaging principles and are intended to produce diagnostically acceptable three-dimensional X-ray images for identical clinical indications. The Subject Device does not introduce new imaging indications, new clinical applications, or new use environments as a result of the larger FOV.
Therefore, the larger FOV of the Subject Device does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device with respect to field of view.
## 8. Dose Level:
The Subject Device, medXion NEXUS, utilizes a higher-performance flat panel detector (FPD) compared to the detector used in the Predicate Device, PreXion3D Explorer EX. The enhanced detector performance represents a design improvement and does not change the intended use, diagnostic purpose, or target patient population of the device.
The higher-performance FPD of the Subject Device provides improved X-ray detection efficiency and signal-to-noise performance. As a result, diagnostically acceptable image quality can be achieved at lower X-ray exposure levels, enabling a reduction in patient radiation dose for equivalent imaging tasks. This improvement supports dose efficiency without compromising diagnostic performance.
Both devices are intended to produce two-dimensional and three-dimensional digital X-ray images of the dental, oral, maxillofacial, ENT, and neck regions and are operated in accordance with established radiation safety principles, including the ALARA principle. The Subject Device does not introduce new imaging modes, new clinical indications, or new user interactions as a result of the higher-performance detector.
Performance verification testing demonstrates that the Subject Device achieves image quality suitable for the same diagnostic applications as the Predicate Device while operating at comparable or lower radiation dose levels. Therefore, the use of a higher-performance FPD does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Accordingly, the Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device with respect to detector technology and radiation dose performance.
