Intended Use

The PRORAD X-Ray Flat Panel Detector with DROC is intended to capture for display radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended for use in general projection radiographic applications wherever conventional film/screen or CR systems may be used. It is not intended for mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography, and angiography applications. Use is not recommended for pregnant women without physician evaluation.

Technology

The device consists of a flat panel digital detector (wired or wireless) using cesium iodide or gadolinium oxysulfide scintillator to convert X-rays into digital images. It includes proprietary processing software for image acquisition, annotation, storage, image compression, and a Windows PC-based user interface (DROC) to manage exposure workflow, image viewing, measurement, DICOM file input/output, and network integration. The hardware is portable or non-portable, designed for use with conventional X-ray generators, with features such as memory exposure mode and protection against ingress of water.

Performance

Non-clinical testing confirmed compliance with multiple international standards (AAMI/ANSI, IEC series), cybersecurity considerations, risk analysis, load-bearing, ingress protection, and EMC emission tests. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993 was demonstrated and image quality found substantially equivalent to predicate devices. No clinical studies were conducted; equivalence established via non-clinical data.
