Intended Use
The Straight Arm DDR is indicated for use by qualified/trained doctor or technician on both adult and pediatric subjects for taking diagnostic static and serial radiographic exposures of the skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and other body parts. Applications can be performed with the patient sitting, standing, or lying in the prone or supine position (not for mammography).
Device Story
Straight Arm DDR is a stationary digital radiography system for diagnostic imaging. It captures static and sequential (Dynamic Digital Radiography) X-ray images. System components include an X-ray tube, positioner, automatic exposure control, collimator, X-ray generator, patient table, and digital acquisition station running ULTRA software. Operated by qualified doctors or technicians in clinical settings. The device uses a straight arm configuration for patient positioning (sitting, standing, prone, or supine). The system transforms X-ray inputs into digital images via the acquisition station, which are then reviewed by healthcare providers to support clinical decision-making. Benefits include workflow efficiency and dose management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including image quality testing, product validation, and electrical safety/EMC testing per IEC 60601 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Stationary X-ray system; straight arm configuration. Components: X-ray tube, generator (CPI or Sedecal), collimator (Ralco R225), digital panel detector (AeroDR FPD). Connectivity: DICOM output. Software: ULTRA software. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-3, IEC 60601-2-54, NEMA PS 3.1-3.20.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients for diagnostic static and serial radiographic exposures of the skull, spine, chest, abdomen, and extremities. Contraindicated for mammography.
Regulatory Classification

- 2. Device description: This submission is for a MODIFICATION to our predicate device. Instead of supplying a "U-shaped" arm we will be supplying a "Straight" arm. The other components of the system remain unchanged. This is a versatile digital radiography system that facilitates workflow and provides exceptional dose efficiency. The Straight Arm DDR features the latest developments in high-technology construction and design, including the potential for Dynamic Digital Radiography (DDR), making it possible to rapidly capture sequential radiographs in a single exam. It consists of the following subassemblies: X-ray tube, positioner, automatic exposure control, collimator, X-ray generator, patient mobile table, and digital x-ray acquisition station with ULTRA software. The straight arm assembly was originally cleared in K062335. The ULTRA software was most recently cleared in K212291 and has not been changed from the cleared version.

The digital panel software employed was used unmodified from the predicate. The software has been previously validated as a control for Sedecal diagnostic x-ray generators.
The following testing was performed:
Image Quality Testing and Product Validation.
Product validation consisted of assembling and fully functionally testing the entire system.
The proposed compatible generator carries NRTL (UL) listing labels, having been tested for safety. Validation of proper generator technique control had been previously performed. Each system is tested for proper integration prior to shipment to the customer. Since multiple configurations are available (generator and panel models), our service engineers fully test each new system upon installation at the customer site.
We performed IEC60601-1 Safety and IEC60601-1-2 EMC testing with satisfactory results.
6. Clinical testing. Not required for a determination of substantial equivalence.

# 7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion.
The Straight Arm DDR performs the same functions as the predicate using the same technological methods to produce diagnostic x-ray images. In all material aspects, the KDR™ AU-DDR and the Straight Arm DDR systems are substantially equivalent to each other.
# 8. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
After analyzing bench test results, risk analysis, and clinical evaluation, it is the conclusion of Konica Minolta that the Straight Arm DDR is as safe and effective as the predicate device, has few technological differences, and has the same indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
