Intended Use
The ORCA is a small image intensified fluoroscopic C-Arm, for imaging extremities in orthopedic applications. The ORCA Operator's manual contains the following statement: "CAUTION: Federal Law (USA) restricts this device to sale and use by or on the order of a physician."
Device Story
ORCA is a mobile image-intensified fluoroscopic C-Arm for orthopedic extremity imaging. Device utilizes an X-ray source (stationary anode, 0.3 mm focal spot) to generate fluoroscopic images; system features digital image rotation, 6-inch image intensifier, and 17-inch monitor. Operated by physicians in clinical settings for real-time visualization of extremities. Output consists of fluoroscopic images displayed on a monitor, supporting clinical decision-making during orthopedic procedures. System includes image memory/processing capabilities (512x512x12 or 1024x1024x12) and interfaces for printers, VCRs, and DICOM 3 connectivity. Benefits include low operator radiation exposure and enhanced positioning flexibility (270-degree orientation) compared to predicate. Device complies with 21 CFR 1020.30-32 and various IEC safety standards.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Device performance verified against 21 CFR 1020.30-32 and IEC 601 series standards. Radiation exposure metrics provided: operator exposure < 2 mR/hr; skin entrance dose < 5 R/min, which is 2x below the 10 R/min regulatory limit.
Technological Characteristics
Mobile C-arm fluoroscopic system. X-ray source: stationary anode, 0.3 mm focal spot, 80 KVp/0.7 mA. 6-inch image intensifier. 17-inch monitor. Digital image processing (512x512x12 or 1024x1024x12). Connectivity: DICOM 3, printer, VCR. Power: 110VAC, 600W. Compliance: 21 CFR 1020.30-32, IEC 601-1, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 2-7, 2-28, 2-32.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fluoroscopic visualization of patient extremities in orthopedic applications. Restricted to use by or on the order of a physician.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting a pattern of x-radiation into a visible image through electronic amplification. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). An anthrogram tray or radiology dental tray intended for use with an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9. In addition, when intended as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, the fluoroscopic compression device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

The x-ray technique factors of ORCA are higher than those of the predicate. However, the resulting extremity radiation exposure is below the 10 R/min limit of 21 CFR 1020.32.
The ORCA is designed to meet U.S. standards 21 CFR 1020.30 through 1020.32 with a variance for source to skin distance. The ORCA is designed to meet applicable International standards; IEC 601 - 1, IEC 601 - 1-1, IEC 601 - 1-2, IEC 601 - 1-3, IEC 601 - 2-7, IEC 601 - 2-28, IEC 601 - 2-32.
The typical operator radiation exposure is quite low, at less than 0.5 mR/hr @ 50 cm for Hand and less than 2.0 mR/hr @ 50 cm for Knee. The skin entrance dose of less than 5 R/min is a factor of 2x below the 10 R/min limit of 21 CFR 1020.32.

Dear Mr. Syring:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 20, 1996.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please Note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contact liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA’s issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
{4}
comply with all the Act’s requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health’s (CDRH’s) Office of Compliance.
