Hypothetically, if someone were to submit for 510(k) clearance a single-source device like the one demoed by Nanox at RSNA2020, what would be the proper predicate (ignoring the DR detector)?
There are 71 product codes for x-ray, of which only two appear relevant:
1. IZL is "mobile" (which includes portables, some even using dental tubes, and devices on wheels, list, annotations, 3rd party: 8):
"A mobile x-ray system is a transportable device system intended to be used to generate and control x-ray for diagnostic procedures. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories."
2. KPR is "stationary." (list, 3rd party: 18):
"A stationary x-ray system is a permanently installed diagnostic system intended to generate and control x-rays for examination of various anatomical regions. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories."
Note: Code MWP is not appropriate, since it is an enclosed "cabinet" system not for imaging humans directly, but has a redacted 510(k) submission by Hologic which may be potentially useful)
An interesting clearance under JAK product code (uses K160857 as KPR reference, just for hands and feet: old manual).
WHO apparently required (requires?) 11kW tube for stationary (so Nanox is out, I believe) and says mobile is not essential in many small hospitals but may be needed for orthopedic surgery.
