There is no restriction for ethnic group, Gender, weight, health, or condition.
We recommend patients for x-ray diagnostic radiation exposure to be over 5 years old.
#### Device functions
{7}------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this unit is diagnose clinical structures of a tooth and head areas mainly by using the characteristics of permeability from X-ray. The principle of functioning and formations are as following. The machine is made of X-ray generator and arms in which transfers X-ray signals to a sensor in 2D. Also, an object that has a magnification is required in a distance. Moreover, the unit has to be adjustable depending on height of a patient and PC system to reconstruct an image
The arm parts are controlled for rotating and linear moving to synchronize between the sensor and X-ray generator to get the image of interests. The purpose of this mechanism is to provide the images as preferred to diagnose in a monitor.
Panorama is to diagnose the structures in a panoramic view. Cephalometric allows for orthodontic treatment. These 2 functions could be in 1 system, or Panorama only system depending on the needs. To provide the features as mentioned above, digital transferring from permeated X-ray to absorbing to the sensor is essential and all the process are proceed in Detector. Detector transfers X-ray to light depending on the structure materials. Detector is separated into indirect method that the light is changed to digital signals on photodiode and direct method in which the light is directly transferred to digital signal. This unit is using both direct and indirect method depending on the interior structure materials.
#### Operating principle of the detector
X-ray data entered into the detector from an outside source is converted to visible ray by detector's Scintillator and The visible ray is transferred to CMOS ASIC and converted to an Electric signal to form an image signal.
Then the signal is changed to a Digital form and through the high speed LAN cable, the acquired image data is transmitted to the PC.
Acquired resulting image is displayed on the monitor by the PC Software.
#### Comparison of the detector
One shot ceph detector installed on the One shot ceph option RAYSCAN α-OC in Predicate devices RAYSCAN α-Expert[K122918, Traditional] and RAYSCAN α-Expert[K131693, special] is SDX-4336CP (model name).
Whereas the One shot Ceph type mounted in the proposed RAYSCAN α-Expert [K142058, Traditional] offers 2 models depending on the detector size.
In RAYSCAN α-OCL, PaxScan 4336X(size: 42.4cm*35.3cm) detector is mounted and in
{8}------------------------------------------------
RAYSCAN α-OCS, PaxScan 2530C(24.9cm*30.2cm) detector is installed.
Meaning if One shot Ceph option is limited to RAYSCAN α-OC in the predicate devices RAYSCAN α–Expert [K122918, Traditional] and RAYSCAN α-Expert3D[K131693, special] then
The One shot Ceph option for the proposed device RAYSCAN α-Expert[K142058, Traditional] offers 2 models RAYSCAN α-OCL and RAYSCAN α-OCS according to the detector size.
The detector installed in the Predicate device RAYSCAN α-OC and Proposed devices RAYSCAN α-OCL and RAYSCAN α-OCS presents no differences in the technical principle and characteristics and only the manufacturer of the detector and part of the specification were changed.
Differences in the detector SDX-4336CP installed in RAYSCAN α-OC of the Predicate device and detectors PaxScan 4336X and PaxScan 2530C mounted in the Proposed device models RAYSCAN α-OCL and RAYSCAN α-OCS are shown in the following table.
The detector for 2 newly added models RAYSCAN α-OCL(PaxScan 4336X) and RAYSCAN α-OCS(PaxScan 2530C) share the same manufacturer as well as the same technical characteristics, only difference in the detector is its size. Detector in the RAYSCAN α-OCL(PaxScan 4336X) has the size 42.4 (V)cm x 35.3 (H) cm and size of the detector in RAYSCAN α-M3DS is 24.9(V)cm x 30.2(H)cm.
In addition, among the detector option of the RAYSCAN α-Expert3D included in RAYSCAN α-Expert 3D[K122918, Traditional] and RAYSCAN α-Expert3D[K131693, special] of the Predicate device, basic(RAYSCAN α-P) and scan type(RAYSCAN α-SC) are completely identical.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
Try it yourself
Head to the search page and work through a few of these AI/ML fuzzy searches to build intuition: perivascular fat on CT · aortic valve calcification opportunistic screening on noncontrast CT · breast cancer prediction on digital pathology slides · autism detection · gestational age prediction · a hearing aid that can also detect a pulse · foundation model based analysis of ECG · large language models · penetration test. Watch how the relevance scores, intended use, and AI Performance tables tell you when results stop being meaningful.
