Intended Use

The Philips BuckyVision is intended for use in general radiographic examinations and applications wherever conventional screen-film systems may be used (excluding fluoroscopy, angiography, and mammography).

Device Story

Philips BuckyVision is a general-purpose digital X-ray system. It utilizes a TRIXELL PIXIUM-4600 Solid State X-ray Imager (SSXI) to convert X-rays directly into electrical signals. These signals undergo processing at a workstation for image management, export, and printing. The system integrates with standard Philips bucky Diagnost components, including X-ray tubes, generators, and collimators. Operated by radiology staff in clinical settings, the device provides digital images on a CRT monitor or laser-imager. This digital workflow replaces traditional screen-film radiography, offering immediate image availability and processing capabilities to support clinical diagnostic decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

System utilizes TRIXELL PIXIUM-4600 Solid State X-ray Imager (SSXI) for direct X-ray to electrical signal conversion. Includes X-ray tube, generator, collimator, and workstation. Connectivity provided via workstation for image processing, worklist management, and printing. Operates as a stationary diagnostic X-ray system.

Indications for Use

Indicated for general radiographic examinations in patients requiring diagnostic imaging, excluding fluoroscopy, angiography, and mammography. Intended for use wherever conventional screen-film systems are utilized.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

### System Description:

The Philips BuckyVision System uses the new x-ray imaging technology ( Solid State X-ray Imager, SSXI ), that converts x-rays directly into electrical signals which can, after appropriate processing, be displayed on a crt-monitor for medical diagnosis or printed out on laser-imager.

The basis of the system is a standard Philips bucky Diagnost System with additional TRIXELL PIXIUM-4600 SSXI connected to a Philips Thoravision-like workstation for worklist-managment, image-processing, image-exporting, and printing. The complete system includes additional subsystems and components, like X-raytube(s), X-ray-generator, collimator, and optionally, a wall bucky with SSXI.

#### Intended Use:

The Philips BuckyVision is intended for use in general radiographic examinations and applications wherever conventional screen-film systems may be used (excluding fluoroscopy, angiography, and mammography).

### Substantial Equivalence Information:

The Philips Bucky Vision is of comparable type and substantially equivalent to:

| the Philips bucky Diagnost System<br>with Radiographic Screen Film Systems, | 510(k) Number : | K945287. |
|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------|----------|
| the Sterling Diagnostic Imaging Direct Radiography™ device: | 510(k) Number : | K973206 |
| and the Philips Thoravision | 510(k) Number : | K931071. |

Therefore the Philips Bucky Vision system complies to the same or equivalent standards and has the same intended use as the predicate device.
