510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – OEC 3D
Regulation Name: Image-intensified Fluoroscopic x-ray system
Regulation: 21CFR 892.1650
Classification: Class II
Product Code: OXO
Subsequent Product Code: OWB, JAA
Device Description:
The OEC 3D is a mobile fluoroscopic C-Arm imaging system used to assist trained surgeons
and other qualified physicians. The system is used to provide fluoroscopic X-ray images and
volumetric reconstructions during diagnostic, interventional, and surgical procedures. These
images help the physician visualize the patient’s anatomy and interventional tools. This
visualization helps to localize clinical regions of interest and pathology. The images provide
real-time visualization and records of pre-procedure anatomy, in vivo-clinical activity and
post-procedure outcomes.
The system is composed of two major components, a C-Arm and a tethered Workstation.
The C-Arm is a stable mobile platform capable of performing linear motions (vertical,
horizontal) and rotational motions (orbital, lateral) that allow the user to position the X-ray
image chain at various angles and distances with respect to the patient anatomy to be
imaged. The C-Arm is comprised of the high voltage generator, software, X-ray control, and
a “C” shaped image gantry, which supports an X-ray tube and a Flat Panel Detector. Its
functionality is controlled by software on the Workstation and on the OEC Touch, a digital
flat panel controller mounted on the cross-arm.
The workstation is a stable mobile platform with an articulating arm supporting a color
image high resolution LCD display monitor. It also includes image processing
equipment/software, recording devices, data input/output devices and power control systems.
The Workstation is the primary user interface to the system and can be located at a
convenient location in the room independent of where the C-Arm is located.
On the C-Arm, the generator remains unchanged from the predicate device OEC 3D. This is
also true for the 31 cm x 31 cm image receptor, consisting of a Thallium-doped Cesium
Iodide [CsI (Tl)] solid state flat panel X-ray detector with Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor (CMOS) light imager. The X-ray tube housing and insert remains the same
as on the predicate OEC 3D (K203346).
C-Arm functionality is managed by a digital flat tablet control panel mounted on the C-arm
base. Motion is controlled by a joystick.
On the workstation, the main hardware includes a computer with integrated wireless
capability and a dedicated computer for 3D reconstruction located within the storage bay.
The OEC 3D employs the same software architecture and platform design that fully supports
the flat panel detector as the predicate OEC 3D and complies with IEC 60601-1.
The purpose of this Premarket Notification is to demonstrate that the subject device, OEC 3D,
is a modification of and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device OEC 3D (K203346).

510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – OEC 3D
Proposed Device Modification:
The device name for the subject device remains the same as the cleared predicate: OEC 3D.
(K203346). The proposed modifications are being made to GE HealthCare’s cleared predicate
OEC 3D system (K203346).
The primary modifications to the cleared OEC 3D device are as follows:
1. 3D Spine Centerline Tool with Manual Labeling of the Vertebrae
2. 3D Screw Evaluation Tool
3. Augmented Fluoroscopy
Indications for Use:
The OEC 3D mobile fluoroscopy system is designed to provide fluoroscopic and digital spot
images of adult and pediatric populations during diagnostic, interventional, and surgical
procedures. Examples of a clinical application may include: orthopedic, gastrointestinal,
endoscopic, urologic, neurologic, vascular, cardiac, critical care and emergency procedures.
The intended use and indications for use are unchanged from the predicate device.
Technology:
The indications for use are identical and technology is similar to the predicate device. X-ray
generation and control used with the subject device OEC 3D is identical to the technology
used with the predicate device OEC 3D. The subject OEC 3D device employs the same
fundamental technology as that of the predicate device. The image chain including the X-ray
tube, high voltage generator, collimator, X-ray filters, and detectors, remains unchanged
from the predicate, OEC 3D.
The system continues to meet all applicable IEC 60601-1 series of standards, NEMA XR-27,
and applicable parts of 21CFR Subchapter J. The new performance claims did not require
clinical data in order to establish safety or efficacy.
The OEC 3D device was built upon the existing modular and extensible software
architecture, following the same design control process and software development lifecycle
process that is compliant to IEC 62304 used in the predicate OEC 3D.
The changes described above do not change the control mechanism, operating principle,
energy type, or the scientific technology of the predicate devices.

and effectiveness.
Determination of Substantial Equivalence:
GE HealthCare believes the modified OEC 3D is of comparable type and substantially
equivalent to the cleared predicate OEC 3D.
Non-Clinical Performance Testing
The verification and validation testing have been successfully completed as required by
design control procedures under GE HealthCare’s quality system. The system has been tested
and is compliant with the IEC 60601-1, including IEC 60601-1-2, 60601-1-3, 60601-2-43, and
60601-2-54. All applicable 21CFR Subchapter J performance standards are met., 1020.30
Diagnostic X-Ray Systems and their major components, 1020.32 Fluoroscopic equipment,
1040.10 Laser products.
The OEC 3D system was developed under the GE OEC Medical Systems Quality Management
System, including design controls, risk management and software development life cycle
processes. The following quality assurance measures were applied to the development of the
system:
• Risk Analysis
• Required Reviews
• Design Reviews
• Testing on Unit Level (Module verification)
• Integration testing (System verification)
• Performance testing (Verification)
• Safety testing (Verification)
• Simulated use testing (Validation)
Page 7 of 8
GE Healthcare
510(k) Premarket Notification Submission – OEC 3D
The substantial equivalence was also based on a basic software documentation level.
Additional Non-Clinical Performance Testing
The 3D Centerline Tool with Labeling and the 3D Screw Evaluation Tool performance were evaluated
on cadaveric volume datasets of the spine representing different imaging conditions.
The Augmented Fluoroscopy feature is a method to overlay a 3D point of interest in an imaging
volume on live fluoroscopy (2D X-ray). This method projects a 3D point with some error
compared to its actual position in the associated fluoroscopic image. Performance testing was done
to quantify this error for accuracy using a rigid phantom.
Clinical Testing
The modified OEC 3D device is substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate for OEC 3D.
The indication for use is identical and has equivalent/identical technological characteristics. This
type of notification supports using scientific, established, engineering-based performance testing.
The system has been fully tested using engineering bench testing. Clinical data is not required to
demonstrate substantial equivalence for the modified OEC 3D device compared to the cleared
predicate.
Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
The OEC 3D device follows the same design control process and software development
lifecycle processes as the predicate OEC 3D (K203346).
The differences discussed in this section do not introduce any adverse effects nor raise new
questions of safety and effectiveness. Based on the successful verification and validation testing,
additional performance bench testing, conformance to standards, and development under GE
OEC Medical System’s Quality Management System, we believe that the modified OEC 3D
device is substantially equivalent to the cleared predicate device OEC 3D (K203346) and
therefore, is safe and effective for its intended use.
