## Intended Use

This device is a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) video camera for use in digital radiography, including DSA, high resolution cardiology, and low dose fluoroscopy. It is designed for use with X-ray image intensifiers in diagnostic imaging chains.

## Device Story

CCD video camera for digital radiography; integrates with X-ray image intensifiers in diagnostic imaging chains. Inputs: X-ray image intensifier signals. Processing: interline CCD sensor, progressive scanning, 12-bit contrast resolution (4096 gray levels), automatic gain control (AGC), automatic anti-blooming level (AAL), and automatic brightness control (ABC). Outputs: high-line interlaced video (1.0 V peak-to-peak) and RS 644 digital output. Used in clinical settings (e.g., cardiology, fluoroscopy suites) by medical professionals. Output displayed on monitors for diagnostic visualization; assists clinicians in real-time imaging and procedural guidance. Benefits: high-resolution, high-dynamic-range (66 dB) imaging for diagnostic accuracy.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only. Performance data not required for determination of substantial equivalence for this device class.

## Technological Characteristics

Interline CCD sensor; progressive scanning; 1024x1024 resolution; 12-bit contrast resolution; 66 dB dynamic range; 40 MHz bandwidth. Features automatic gain control (AGC), automatic anti-blooming level (AAL), and automatic brightness control (ABC). Video output: high-line interlaced (1.0 V peak-to-peak); digital output: RS 644. Internal/external synchronization. Motorized iris control.

## Regulatory Identification

A medical image digitizer is a device intended to convert an analog medical image into a digital format. Examples include systems employing video frame grabbers, and scanners which use lasers or charge-coupled devices.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std.). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Re:

K990066 CCD Camera, Model 9000 Dated: January 4, 1999 Received: January 8, 1999 Regulatory class: II 21 CFR 892.2030/Procode: 90 LMA

Dear Mr. Kriedermann:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or dass III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in requlatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597, or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
