#### l. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Fujifilm's FDR D-EVO GL FPD System (DR-ID1300) is a digital detector system that interfaces with, and acquires and digitizes x-ray exposures from, standard radiographic systems. The DR-ID1300 is designed to be used in any environment that would typically use a radiographic cassette for examinations of adults and pediatrics including longlength exams where anatomic regions that are too large for conventional CR/DR format sizes, such as the entire spine or lower extremities, can be captured. The DR-ID1300 employs a new DR detector with a large exposure area size of ~ 17 x 49 inches. The detector can be placed in an appropriate stand for upright exams.
{4}------------------------------------------------
Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the Fujifilm logo. The logo is black, except for a small red square in the middle of the "I". Below the logo is the text "Value from Innovation".
Unlike DR stitching which typically requires multiple exposures, the DR-ID1300 needs a single exposure to capture the long view exams, therefore it requires less time in acquiring an image and is unlikely to be affected by patient movement. It not only eliminates the need of precise X-ray tube rotation control but also removes the need of exposing overlapping area when taking multiple exposures. Also requiring a single exposure streamlines the user's workflow.
The DR-ID1300 can be used with any leqally-marketed and appropriately certified X-ray source. However, use of the full detector area may require an increased source-toimage distance and increased technique factors which may exceed the capabilities of some x-ray systems. If the DR-ID1300 is used with the optional Hand Switch Interface Box, a connection to the X-ray source/generator's timing signals (prep and exposure signals) is necessary. Even if such timing signals are not available, the DR-ID1300 can acquire an image using Automatic x-ray detection function (known as 'SmartSwitch' in the US), so the limitation is negligible. In order to use the full effective area (~17x49") of the DR-ID1305SE detector, the X-ray source must be able to provide a large enough radiation field size to cover the entire effective area.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE II.
The FDR D-EVO GL flat panel detector system is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications including pediatric exams wherever conventional film/screen or CR systems may be used. This device is used to capture anatomic regions that are too large for conventional CR/DR format sizes. FDR D-EVO GL is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications.
#### SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS lll.
Fujifilm's FDR D-EVO GL FPD System (DR-ID1300) introduces the new DR-ID1305SE detector with a large ~17x49" exposure/active area, which allows a wider range of the general purpose radiography including long-view exams. All the major detector characteristics that may affect the image quality are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed DR-ID1201SE detector in K142003. For example, scintillator material (gadolinium oxysulfide (GOS)), indirect conversion method with Fujifilm's unique Irradiated Side Sampling (ISS) technology, pixel pitch (150µm), and resolution (16 bit) are the same. The difference in MTF measurements is negligible, and the difference in DQE (Detective Quantum Efficiency) measurement is insignificant. Because of DR-ID1305SE's large exposure/active area, appearance, weight, pixel matrix, external dimensions as well as preview time and cycle/exposure time are different from DR-ID1201SE. The new DR-ID1305SE detector supports wired data connection. Also FDR D-EVO GL FPD System (DR-ID1300)'s system configurations are very similar to the FDR D-EVO II in K142003, but a later version of FDX Console will support the DR-ID1300.

#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE IV.
Fujifilm FDR D-EVO GL FPD System (DR-ID1300) is substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed devices.
| Legally Marketed Device | 510(k) # | Clearance Date |
|-----------------------------------------------------|----------|----------------|
| FDR D-EVO II Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID1200) | K142003 | 10/21/2014 |
| FDR Image Stitching Option | K101686 | 10/29/2010 |
Both the new FDR D-EVO GL and legally marketed FDR D-EVO II are digital detector systems that are used to acquire x-ray exposures. Both systems are indicated for general purpose radiography including pediatric exams, but DR-ID1300 can be additionally used for long view exams where anatomic regions that are too large for conventional CR/DR format sizes, such as the entire spine or lower extremities, can be captured. This long-view exam indication is very similar to another legally marketed K101686 FDR Image Stitching Option.
Most detector characteristics remain unchanged, and the image quality is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed FDR D-EVO II.
#### V. SUMMARY OF STUDIES
Non-clinical Performance Data: FDR D-EVO GL FPD System (DR-ID1300) conforms to the voluntary standards such as AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1. IEC 60601-1. IEC 60601-1-2. IEC 62304, IEC 62366, IEC 62494-1 and DICOM. In addition, the FDA's Guidance for the Submission of 510(k)'s for Solid State X-ray Imaging Devices (issued on August 6, 1999) was followed to describe the detector characteristics. As required by the risk analysis necessary verification and validation activities were performed. For example, software changes were successfully evaluated according to the FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices (issued on May 11, 2005) based on a moderate level of concern. Cybersecurity recommendations of the FDA guidance, Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices (issued on October 2, 2014) were followed. Given that the new DR-ID1305SE detector's performance characteristics are equivalent to the currently marketed FDR D-EVO II detector in K142003, bench testing was conducted to evaluate the long view attributes that are unique to the DR-ID1300 system.
Clinical Performance Data: No clinical study has been performed. The substantial equivalence has been demonstrated by non-clinical studies.
#### VI. CONCLUSION
Based upon the supporting data summarized above, we concluded the FDR D-EVO GL Flat Panel Detector System (DR-ID1300) is as safe and effective as the legally marketed devices K142003 and K101686, and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate devices.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
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.
