Morita USA, Inc. - **Product Code:** [EAG](/submissions/DE/subpart-b%E2%80%94diagnostic-devices/EAG.md) - **Decision Date:** Jun 7, 2002 - **Decision:** SESE - **Submission Type:** Traditional - **Regulation:** 21 CFR 872.1830 - **Device Class:** Class 2 - **Review Panel:** Dental ## Indications for Use The Veraviewepocs Panoramic X-ray Unit with Cephalometric Capability that is the subject of this 510(k) is an extraoral source X-ray unit that is used for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of teeth, jaw, oral structure, TM-joints and skull by exposing an X-ray image receptor to ionizing radiation. ## Device Story Veraviewepocs is an extraoral dental X-ray system. Device captures radiographic images of teeth, jaw, TM-joints, and skull. System includes cephalometric capability. Operation involves exposing an X-ray image receptor to ionizing radiation. Features an 'auto exposure' mode for cephalometric imaging; sensor behind cassette measures accumulated radiation to automatically terminate exposure based on patient size (fixed at 80 kV, 10mA). Used in dental clinical settings by trained professionals. Output is a radiographic image used by clinicians for diagnostic assessment of oral structures. Benefits include improved diagnostic visualization of dental and cranial anatomy. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including image quality testing and verification of compliance with electrical and mechanical safety standards (UL2601-1, IEC 60601-1). Software validation was performed, including hazard analysis and code revision procedures. ## Technological Characteristics Extraoral X-ray system. Materials: Biocompatible metals and plastics (temple stabilizers, ear rods, chin rests, patient handles). Energy: Ionizing radiation. Connectivity: Standalone. Software: Firmware-based control. Standards: UL2601-1, IEC 60601-1, 21 C.F.R. Subchapter J. Auto-exposure: Sensor-based radiation accumulation monitoring. ## Regulatory Identification A cephalometer is a device used in dentistry during x-ray procedures. The device is intended to place and to hold a patient's head in a standard position during dental x-rays. ## Predicate Devices - Orthopantomograph OP100 ([K930338](/device/K930338.md), [K973642](/device/K973642.md), [K001439](/device/K001439.md)) - ORTHOCEPH OC 100 ([K930338](/device/K930338.md), [K973642](/device/K973642.md), [K001439](/device/K001439.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Morita Manufacturing Corporation's Veraviewepocs Panoramic X-ray Unit with Cephalometric Capability ## Name of Device and Name/Address of Sponsor | | Trade or Proprietary Name: Veraviewepocs Panoramic X-ray Unit with Cephalometric | |----------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | Capability | | Common Name: | Extraoral Source X-ray with Cephalometric Capability | | Classification Name: | Extraoral Source X-ray System and Cephalometer | | Product Code : | EHD (Extraoral Source X-ray System) | | | and EAG (Cephalometer) | J. Morita USA, Inc. 9 Mason Irvine, California USA 92618 Telephone: 949-581-9600 949-581-9688 Facsimile: Contact Person: Mr. Junichi Miyata, President Date Prepared: April 18, 2002 ### Intended Use The Veraviewepocs Panoramic X-ray Unit with Cephalometric Capability that is the subject of this 510(k) is an extraoral source X-ray unit that is used for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of teeth, jaw, oral structure, TM-joints and skull by exposing an X-ray image receptor to ionizing radiation. #### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence The Veraviewepocs Panoramic X-ray Unit is an FDA-cleared extraoral source X-ray unit that it used for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of teeth, jaw, and oral structure by exposing an X-ray image receptor to ionizing radiation (K#013955). The modified Veraviewepocs covered by this submission simply adds a cephalometric capability to the existing device. In addition to manual settings, the modified Veraviewepocs also has an "auto exposure" feature in the cephalometric mode. Exposure time is automatically adjusted depending on the patient's size, and the device is set at 80 kV and 10mA. A sensor behind the cephalometric cassette measures the amount of x- radiation, and the exposure is terminated once the accumulated x-radiation reaches a certain level. 1 {1}------------------------------------------------ The modified Veraviewepocs is substantially equivalent, for purposes of the FDA *s medical device regulations, to the predicate device, Instrumentarium Corporation Imaging Division's Orthopantomograph OP100, and particularly the upgraded ORTHOCEPH OC 100 for cephalometric radiographv (K#930338, 973642, and 001439). The modified Veraviewepocs has the same general intended use. similar principles of operation, and similar technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Although there are minor difference in the characteristics of the modified Veraviewepocs and the predicate device, these differences do not raise new questions of safety or efficacy. The software used in the modified Veraviewepocs has been successfully validated by Morita. The software validation report describes the development process for the device's software/firmware: the software change control and code revision procedures; the system and software requirements; the software handling and storage procedures; a hazard analysis; and a software/firmware certification that the company followed the above-described procedures and policies. The modified Veraviewepocs was tested to ensure compliance with UL2601-1 and IEC 60601-1, and and it complied with the applicable requirements. The modified Veraviewepocs will be tested and will comply with the applicable requirements of 21 C.F.R. Subchapter J prior to marketing. The modified Veraviewepocs also passed the image quality testing. The modified Veraviewepocs complies with the applicable thermal, mechanical, and electrical safety requirements of UL2601-1 and IEC 60601-1, and will comply with the applicable requirements of 21 C.F.R. Subchapter J prior to marketing. The modified Veraviewepocs uses biocompatible metals and plastics on any body contacting surfaces, such as the temple stabilizers and covers, ear rods, chin rests, patient handles, and front/rear head stabilizers. The metals and plastics have been widely used in other medical applications in which the metal or plastic is in body contact, including oral contact. 40100525.doc {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
