Doing the verification directly in the same room or nearby enables cases to be completed faster, thus limiting the time the patient needs to be under examination. Specimen radiography can potentially limit the number of patient recalls. ## Device Story Cabinet X-ray system for high-detail imaging of surgically excised medical specimens. Input: harvested tissue specimens. Operation: horizontal imaging geometry allows 360-degree specimen rotation; X-ray tube (Tungsten target, <15 micron focal spot) and Teledyne DALSA Xineos-1515 CMOS detector capture projections. Processing: Faxitron Vision software reconstructs 2D projections into 3D CT images. Output: 2D and 3D digital X-ray images displayed for clinician review. Used in clinical settings (OR or nearby) by physicians/technicians to verify excision of correct tissue. Benefits: faster case completion, reduced patient time under examination, potential reduction in patient recalls. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance demonstrated using phantom images (uniform and embedded test objects) to characterize contrast and detail. Artifact analysis performed on sample clinical images of various anatomical regions (breast, femoral head, fallopian tube, prostate, nasal polyp, heart valve). Electrical safety tested per IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-091, and IEC 61010-2-101. EMC tested per IEC 61326-1 and IEC 61326-2-6. ## Technological Characteristics Cabinet X-ray system; 15-50 kV, 1.0 mA max; Tungsten target; <15 micron focal spot; 0.010" Beryllium window.

Like the predicate devices, the Faxitron VisionCT is a cabinet x-ray system that is used to provide digital x-ray images of harvested specimens from various anatomical regions in order to provide rapid verification that the correct tissue has been excised during the biopsy procedure. Like the VersaVision, the VisionCT only provides digital x-ray images (no film images). The major difference between the identified predicate devices and the proposed Faxitron VisionCT is that in addition to the digital 2D x-ray images, the VisionCT also provides digital 3D x-ray images. The referenced predicate devices image top down (vertically); whereas, the VisionCT images horizontally. See Figure 4 and Figure 5 below comparing the operating principle. The horizontal imaging allows for the specimen to be rotated so images can be captured in 360 degrees. These images are then reconstructed to a 3D CT image. The capability of providing digital 3D x-ray images is a progression in technology and not a new intended use. The Faxitron VisionCT uses Detector XINEOS-1515 (by Teledyne DALSA), which is different compared to those used in predicate devices. However, a detector with the same technological characteristics has been used in the previously cleared DENTRIa Series device (K160140). The commercial name of the software used in VisionCT is called Faxitron Bioptics Vision Software. This Vision Software is upgraded from the software used in the predicate device VersaVision Specimen Radiography System (K170786). The upgrades mainly relate to the changes made to GUI and to support the features of the VisionCT. Faxitron has thoroughly tested the Vision Software including the added capability for providing 3D X-ray images. ### NONCLINICAL PERFORMANCE DATA TESTING AND REVIEW- as required by 807.92(b)(1) The VisionCT complies with 21 CFR 1020.40 (Cabinet x-ray systems) and NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20 (DICOM). The non-clinical performance testing data provided in this submission includes detector Xineos 1515 imaging performance data and sample clinical images to demonstrate the capability of the VisionCT to image various anatomical regions (breast tissue, femoral head, other tissues such as fallopian tube, prostate, nasal polyp, and heat valve). The phantom images include those provided to compare the 2D images from the predicate device and 3D images from the subject device. In addition, a uniform phantom and phantom with embedded test objects with ranges of sizes and contrasts designed to characterize CT x-ray system contrast and {8}------------------------------------------------ detail imaging performance, are also provided. Also, Faxitron provided data obtained from the artifact analysis on these sample clinical and phantom images. The Electrical Safety of the Faxitron VisionCT is demonstrated through successful testing conducted per IEC 61010-1, IEC 61010-2-091, and IEC 61010-2-101. The Electromagnetic Compatibility was demonstrated through compliance with standards IEC 61326-1 and IEC 61326-2-6. ### CONCLUSIONS- as required 807.92(b)(3) Faxitron Bioptics concludes that the documentation and testing included in this submission indicates that the Faxitron VisionCT is safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the cited predicate devices. --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/RA/subpart-b%E2%80%94diagnostic-devices/MWP/K173309](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/RA/subpart-b%E2%80%94diagnostic-devices/MWP/K173309) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
