Intended Use

This is a stationary digital x-ray system for general radiography and RSA (Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis procedures). Not for mammography.

Device Story

Halifax Imaging Kit integrates existing FDA-cleared digital radiography components into a dual-system configuration to perform Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA). System uses a Universal Synchronization Switch or Imaging Kit Control Module (IKCM) to trigger two independent X-ray systems simultaneously, capturing stereo image pairs from different perspectives. This stereo imaging enables precise measurement of joint replacement stability. Used in clinical radiology settings; operated by trained technicians or clinicians. Output consists of synchronized X-ray image pairs viewed by healthcare providers to assess implant fixation and joint health. Benefits include enhanced precision in measuring orthopedic implant stability compared to single-plane radiography.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical testing was required. Equivalence was established through bench testing, design verification, and phantom studies. Phantom studies using carbon fiber boxes were conducted to validate the precision and accuracy of the RSA system setup at each installation site, consistent with standard RSA validation techniques.

Technological Characteristics

Stationary digital X-ray system utilizing dual-panel image acquisition. Components include generators (e.g., Sedecal, EMD Epsilon), digital panels (various cleared models), and synchronization hardware (Universal Synchronization Switch or IKCM). Power supplies are UL listed and EMC compliant per IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2. Connectivity involves integration with existing clinical radiography room infrastructure. System is designed for stereo imaging synchronization.

Indications for Use

Indicated for general radiography and Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA) procedures in patients requiring diagnostic imaging. Not indicated for mammography.

- 4. Indications for Use: This is a stationary digital x-ray system for general radiography and RSA (Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis procedures). Not for mammography.
- 5. Description of the Device: The Halifax SR Suite consists of two X-Ray imaging systems; the two systems are integrated through a synchronization switch. The switch allows the two X-Ray imaging systems to fire simultaneously, providing a pair of X-Ray images from different perspectives to be taken at the exact same time. This process allows for Roentgen Stereophotogrammetric Analysis (RSA). RSA is a stereo x-ray technique that enables measurements more precise than single plane radiography based on phantom precision studies. The resulting level of precision provides measurements of joint replacement stability.

The Halifax Imaging Kit is part of the SR Suite product line and provides an alternative path to creating an SR Suite. The Halifax Imaging Kit consists of FDA cleared and/or certified X-Ray components integrated into an existing digital radiography room already containing an FDA cleared x-ray imaging system to form an SR Suite. The exposures of the Halifax Imaging Kit and the existing Digital Radiography (DR) system are synchronized by replacing the trigger switches of the two systems with either the Universal Synchronization Switch or the Imaging Kit Control Module (IKCM).

{4}------------------------------------------------

The Universal Synchronization Switch or IKCM ensures the two X-Ray imaging systems fire simultaneously, therefore providing a pair of X-Ray images from two different perspectives taken at the exact same time. There are two versions of the Halifax Imaging Kits:

a) UNIVERSAL SYNCHRONIZATION (NON-GE BASED CONFIGURATION) The Universal Synchronization Switch synchronizes two independent X-ray systems as accurately as possible by using the manual pushbutton interface of each X-ray system. This replaces the synchronization switch that was described in our predicate K121345.

b) IMAGING KIT CONTROL MODULE (GE BASED CONFIGURATION) The general purpose of the IKCM is to coordinate and control the activities of the detector and workstation with the activities of the generator, as well as coordinate the exposures between the client's clinical system and the Halifax Imaging Kit for RSA exposures. The current version of the IKCM is designed specifically for interfacing with the following components:

•GEHC WDR1 Upgrade Kit which consists of a 'Flashpad' detector, a workstation named 'MagicPC', and a 'Cabinet' for power distribution and communication control. Integrating with a pre-existing system (GEHC Discovery XR656 Plus).

· EMD Technologies Epsilon Series generator. (Or generators already on site)

Image /page/4/Picture/5 description: The image shows a diagram of a setup with two cameras positioned at an angle of 30 degrees relative to a central point. The cameras are mounted above a black platform, and the distance from the cameras to the platform is labeled as 150 cm. The cameras are pointed downwards, and their fields of view converge on the platform, which has two objects with red lines and crosshairs on them.

## 8. Summary of Bench Testing and development activities conducted:

The following Risk Management and Risk Analysis documents were created:

Risk Management Plan - Halifax Imaging Kit Risk Management Plan - Imaging Kit Control Module Risk Analysis - Imaging Kit Control Module Risk Analysis - Halifax Imaging Kit - L-Arm Support Fault-Tree Analysis - Imaging Kit Control Module

Design Verification Testing of the Universal Synchronization Switch was performed in order to verify (a) Proper Board level functionality, firmware and (b) Proper Enclosure internal wiring assemblies and connections. Finite element analysis was performed on the support structures followed by design verification reviews.

Verification and Validation reports were executed for the new Imaging Kit, Control Module, and Universal Synchronization Switch.

Labeling: Installation and User Manuals were developed for the modified portions of the system, and the original labeling was updated according to the FDA Guidance on Cybersecurity: Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Document Issued on: October 2, 2014.

The following reports were prepared documenting bench testing activities:

Design Verification Test, Universal Synchronization Switch

Imaging Kit Control Module Verification Report

Imaging Kit Control Module Validation Test Report

In addition a Requirements Traceability analysis was performed for the Imaging Kit Control Module. The power supply chosen for the Imaging Kit Control Module is UL listed and EMC compliant for medical applications per IEC Standards: IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2.

Every installation undergoes a precision validation test prior to turn over to the customer. "The precision of a Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) System is affected by the components of the RSA System set-up as well as by the features of the individual joint and implant under examination. To validate a new Halifax Imaging Kit at "[Hospital]" in [City] ([Room details]), [State/Province], [Country], a phantom study was undertaken using a small carbon fibre box. Phantom studies, commonly used for RSA validation [1-12], are a technique used to calculate in vitro precision and accuracy of an RSA System."

- 9. Summary of Clinical Testing: Clinical testing was not required to establish equivalence because all of the new digital receptor panels already have their own 510(k) clearances.
- 10. Conclusion: After analyzing bench testing, standards testing data, and risk analysis it is the conclusion of Halifax Biomedical that the Halifax Imaging Kit Option is as safe and effective as the predicate device, has no significant technological differences, and has no new indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
