Device Facts

• Record ID: K980970
• Device Name: IIRAD DIRECTRAY OPERATOR CONSOLE
• Applicant: Sterling Diagnostic Imaging, Inc.
• Product Code: LLZ · Radiology
• Decision Date: Jun 8, 1998
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 892.2050
• Device Class: Class 2

Intended Use

To provide a network connection to various output (e.g. hardcopy, softcopy and archive) devices from any radiographic device which uses the DirectRay™ Image capture system. To synchronize the ready states of the DirectRay™ device and the radiographic equipment. When a single X-ray console is desired, to provide the X-ray console features (e.g. technique selection) of the radiographic equipment.

Device Story

DirectRay™ Operator Console (DROC) acts as an interface between X-ray generating equipment and the DirectRay™ digital image capture device (K973206). DROC synchronizes ready states between the capture device and X-ray generator; enables acquisition, preview, and transmission of images and text data; and provides exam administration reporting. In the 'Integrated' version, DROC replaces the traditional X-ray console by incorporating technique selection functions. Located in the control booth, usually within a cabinet, the device is operated by radiology staff. It optionally links digital images to hospital/radiology information systems (HIS/RIS). By centralizing networking and console controls, it streamlines workflow and image management for radiographic procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

The device is a console system housed in a cabinet for control booth installation. It functions as a network interface and controller for X-ray equipment and digital image capture systems. It supports connectivity to HIS/RIS and various output devices (hardcopy/softcopy/archive).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in clinical settings where transmission of radiographic images and associated patient text data is required from radiographic equipment utilizing the DirectRay™ image capture system to output devices including hardcopy, softcopy, or archive systems.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

Predicate Devices

• DirectRay™ digital image capture device (K973206)
• LINX™ Networking System (K964250)
• MicroX-80 HF (K944149)

DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The DirectRay™ Operator Console is that device, which when used with any X-ray generating equipment and the DirectRay™ device (Sterling Diagnostic Imaging Direct Radiography™ ' K#973206) allows the synchronization of the ready states of the DirectRay™ device and the X-ray generator, and allows the operator to acquire, preview and transmit image and associated text data along with exam administration report capabilities. In one version, this device will also integrate these functions with the typical functions of an X-ray console eliminating the need for a separate X-ray console. This device is located in the control booth and will usually be housed in a specially designed cabinet. An optional feature of the DROC is the ability to link the digital image with the hospital information/radiology information systems (HIS/RIS).

INTENDED USE: To provide a network connection to various output (e.g. hardcopy, softcopy and archive) devices from any radiographic device which uses the DirectRay™ Image capture system.

To synchronize the ready states of the DirectRay™ device and the radiographic equipment. When a single X-ray console is desired, to provide the X-ray console features (e.g. technique selection) of the radiographic equipment.

COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE(s): The DROC brings together the features of the LINX™ Networking System and the X-ray console functions of the Micro X-80 into a single device. With respect to the synchronization of the ready states of the DirectRay™ device and the radiographic equipment, the DROC is considered an accessory to the DirectRay™.
