Intended Use

The Direct Digitizer, REGIUS SIGMA2 is an X-ray image reader which uses a stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) as X-ray detector installed in a separate cassette. It reads the image recorded on the Plate and transfers the image data to an externally connected device such as a host computer, an order input device, an image display device, a printer, an image data filing device, and other image reproduction devices. It is designed and intended to be used by trained medical personnel in a clinic, a radiology department in a hospital and in other medical facilities. This device is not intended for use in mammography.

Device Story

Compact X-ray image reader; utilizes stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) in cassette as X-ray detector. Device accepts cassette; performs laser scan and photoelectric conversion of latent X-ray images into digital data. Output transferred to external host computer, display, printer, or filing device. Operated by trained medical personnel in clinics or radiology departments. Modification from predicate (REGIUS SIGMA) involves firmware update to increase processing capacity via optimized feed sequence and faster erasing LED. Device facilitates digital X-ray image reproduction for clinical decision-making.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data compared against predicate device (REGIUS SIGMA) to verify that modifications to processing speed did not impact safety or efficacy. No clinical data presented.

Technological Characteristics

X-ray image reader; stimulable phosphor plate detector; laser scan and photoelectric conversion. Connectivity to external workstations/printers. Firmware-controlled mechanical feed sequence. Standards: IEC60601-1 (Safety), IEC60601-1-2 (EMC), 21 CFR 1040.10/IEC60825-1 (Radiation safety).

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by trained medical personnel in clinical, hospital, or medical facility settings to read X-ray images from stimulable phosphor plates. Not intended for mammography.

## 6. Predicate Device

Direct Digitizer, REGIUS SIGMA, 510(k) number: K103703

#### 7. Indications for Use

The Direct Digitizer, REGIUS SIGMA2 is an X-ray image reader which uses a stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) as X-ray detector installed in a separate cassette. It reads the image recorded on the Plate and transfers the image data to an externally connected device such as a host computer, an order input device, an image display device, a printer, an image data filing device, and other image reproduction devices. It is designed and intended to be used by trained medical personnel in a clinic, a radiology department in a hospital and in other medical facilities.

This device is not intended for use in mammography.

#### 8. Device Description

The Direct Digitizer, REGIUS SIGMA2 is a compact X-ray image reader which uses a stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) as X-ray detector installed in a

5-1

{1}------------------------------------------------

cassette, and reads the image recorded on the Plate by inserting a cassette in the entrance slot of this device. By means of laser scan and photoelectric method, this device reads the X-ray image data created in form of a latent image on the Plate exposed by an external X-ray generating device, and converts the read data into digital.

The device is comprised of a reading unit with cassette containing Plate.

Plates and cassette remain unchanged from the predicate device, REGIUS SIGMA.

The image data transfer to an externally connected device such as a host computer, an order input device, an image display device, a printer, an image data filing device, and other image reproduction devices.

The basic operations of REGIUS SIGMA2 and the predicate device, REGIUS SIGMA, such as a starting, a shut down, a registration-of-patient, a setting of a various condition are operated with the Medical Image Processing Workstation, ImagePilot (operator console) which is cleared 510(k), K071436.

The modification was made from the REGIUS SIGMA to the REGIUS SIGMA2 to increase processing capacity. To increase the processing capacity, the firmware (device mechanical control software) of the reading unit is modified. The outline is as follows.

The processing capacity is increased by controlling the feed sequence.

(1) Increasing the speed of removal of Plate from cassette and the sequence of storage into cassette

(2) Increasing the erasing speed by changing the erasing LED

The feed sequence related to Image Quality (Reading speed, Open/Close timing of sub-scanning nip) is not changed.

#### 9. Performance Testing

Performance data from non-clinical testing of the REGIUS SIGMA2 is compared with data from the predicate device, REGIUS SIGMA. This comparison showed that the REGIUS SIGMA2 performed as well as the predicate device.

#### 10. Substantial Equivalence to Predicate Device

The predicate device and the REGIUS SIGMA2 are the X-ray image reader which use the same stimulable phosphor plate (Plate) as X-ray detector installed in a separate cassette. The principals of operation and technological characteristics of the predicate device and the REGIUS SIGMA2 is the same. The performance test results show that there is no new safety and efficacy issue of the REGIUS SIGMA. The indications for use of REGIUS SIGMA remain unchanged from the predicate device. For details, please refer to Section 8, Device description.
