Intended Use
The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
Device Story
Stationary digital X-ray system; captures radiographic images of human anatomy. X-rays pass through patient to detector; converted to electrical signals; processed by S-station (Operation Software) for amplification and digital conversion; saved as DICOM files. Image Post-processing Engine (IPE) tunes images; sent to PACS for radiologist review. Operated by qualified doctors or technicians in clinical settings. Includes S-Enhance (image enhancement for tubes, lines, needles, urinary stones), Pediatric Exposure Management (PEM) for dose optimization, and Remote View for workstation access. Enhancements aid clinical decision-making by improving visibility of foreign bodies and anatomical structures. Benefits include optimized pediatric imaging and improved diagnostic clarity.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical trials on human subjects. Performance validated via MTF and DQE measurements per IEC 62220-1. Phantom image evaluations performed for new detectors and S-Enhance feature. Radiologist assessment of anthropomorphic phantom images confirmed image quality equivalence to predicates, with S-Enhance providing clear visibility for foreign bodies and urinary stones.

#### 7. Device Description
The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system is a stationary x-ray system designed for general radiography and used to capture images by transmitting X-ray to a patient's body. The Xray passing through a patient's body is sent to the detector and then converted into electrical signals. These signals go through the process of amplification and digital data conversion in the signal process on the S-station, which is the Operation Software (OS) of Samsung Digital Diagnostic X-ray System, and save in DICOM file, a standard for medical imaging. The captured images are tuned up by an Image Post-processing Engine (IPE) which is exclusively installed in S-station, and sent to the Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) sever for reading images.
The GC85A digital X-ray imaging system was previously cleared with K172229, and through this premarket notification, we would like to add more configurations in the previously cleared GC85A as three High Voltage Generators and two detectors are newly added, and three software features are newly added as stated below.
S-Enhance is renamed from Tube & Line Enhancement (TLE), which was cleared before with the predicate device GM85 at K171119, to enhance visibility of tubes and lines and provide enhanced images separately from original images. In this submission, the scope of S-Enhance is expanded from tubes and lines on chest images to foreign body (e.g. tubes, lines and needles) and urinary stones on chest, abdomen, and L-spine. And Pediatric Exposure Management (PEM), which was cleared before with the predicate device GM85 at K171119, is subdivided patient size and exposure conditions especially for pediatric patients based on weight and protocols, and Remote View to enable the images on the device is being displayed on the remote monitor. It was determined that the level of concern for the software contained in the GC85A digital X-ray imaging system was Moderate in accordance with the FDA guidance, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Device".
#### 8. Intended Use
The GC85A Digital X-ray Imaging System is intended for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy by a qualified/trained doctor or technician. This device is not intended for mammographic applications.
#### 9. Summary of Technological characteristic of the proposed device compared with the predicate device
The proposed device GC85A apply software features as S-Enhance and Pediatric Exposure, which were cleared with K171119, and Remote View to GC85A product which was cleared with K172229 without changes in technical characteristics, materials, energy sources and biocompatibility such as X-ray Tube Assembly except of high voltage generator and detector. Optional high voltage generators and detectors which were improved durability and dust/water-resistance are added to GC85A.
Comparisons of technological characteristics were executed and demonstrate the substantial equivalence to the predicate.

#### B. Safety, EMC and Performance Data
Electrical, mechanical, environmental safety and performance testing according to standard ES 60601-1,IEC 60601-1-2,IEC 60601-1-3,IEC 60601-2-28, IEC 60601-2-54, ISO14971, 21CFR1020.30 and 21CFR1020.31 were performed, and EMC testing was conducted in accordance with standard IEC 60601-1-2. Wireless function was tested and verified followed by guidance, Radio frequency Wireless Technology in Medical Devices. All test results were satisfying the standards.
#### C. Non-clinical data
Non-clinical testing data was provided in conformance to the FDA "Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid-State X-ray Imaging Devices", which includes MTF and DQE measurements as tested by IEC 62220-1. The proposed device shows no difference in non-clinical testing data such as MTF and DQE measurements form the predicate device.
#### D. Clinical data
Phantom image evaluations for the new detector and S-Enhance were performed in accordance with FDA guidance for the submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices. Anthropomorphic phantom images were provided; these images were not necessary to establish substantial equivalence based on the modifications to the device (note X-ray flat-panel detector similar to the predicate detector) but they provide further evidence in addition to the performance data to show that the complete system works as intended. They were evaluated by professional radiologists and found to be equivalent to the predicate devices. There is no significant difference in the average score considering the standard deviation of image quality evaluation between the proposed device and the predicate device and it is confirmed that S-Enhance is able to generate a companion image which provide clear visibility for foreign bodies such as lines, tubes, and

needles, and urinary stones in chest, abdomen, and L-spine protocol in addition to the original images. Therefore, these changes do not affect either the safety or the effectiveness, compared to the predicated device.
#### E. Conclusions
The non-clinical and clinical data demonstrate that the proposed device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed device.
