DR 800 with Tomosynthesis
by Agfa N.V. Belgium EUDAMED510(k)
510(k) K183275
Product code IZF
Overview
The DR 800 with Tomosynthesis is a System, X-Ray, Tomographic device, classified as a Class II medical imaging system. It combines digital radiography with tomosynthesis technology to provide high-resolution, layered imaging for detailed anatomical visualization, particularly in challenging diagnostic scenarios such as breast or musculoskeletal examinations. This system enables enhanced spatial resolution and reduced artifacts compared to conventional 2D imaging, improving diagnostic confidence for radiologists.
This device is supplied as a reusable, fully integrated digital imaging solution designed for radiology departments. It operates in controlled clinical settings, adhering to FDA 510(k) clearance (K183275) and EU MDR compliance. The system is intended for use in standard radiography, fluoroscopy, and advanced applications, with no specific sterility requirements due to its reusable nature. Storage and maintenance follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure optimal performance and image quality, with no MRI safety restrictions noted.

Questions
What types of imaging studies is the DR 800 with Tomosynthesis designed to improve, and how does it differ from traditional 2D X-ray systems?
The DR 800 with Tomosynthesis is specifically designed to enhance diagnostic imaging in challenging scenarios like breast and musculoskeletal examinations. Unlike traditional 2D X-ray systems, it combines digital radiography with tomosynthesis technology to create high-resolution, layered images. This reduces artifacts and improves spatial resolution, giving radiologists clearer, more detailed anatomical visualization for better diagnostic confidence.
Is the DR 800 with Tomosynthesis a single-use or reusable device, and what does this mean for maintenance and sterility?
The DR 800 with Tomosynthesis is a reusable device, meaning it is not intended for single-use applications. Since it is not sterile by design, maintenance and cleaning must follow the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure optimal performance and image quality. Sterility is not a requirement for this system, as it operates in controlled clinical settings.
What regulatory pathways has the DR 800 with Tomosynthesis followed, and which governing bodies have approved its use?
The DR 800 with Tomosynthesis has undergone FDA clearance through a 510(k) submission (K183275) and complies with EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR). It is classified as a Class II medical imaging system, adhering to both U.S. and EU regulatory standards for digital tomographic imaging systems.
What special considerations should be taken into account when storing or maintaining the DR 800 with Tomosynthesis?
The DR 800 with Tomosynthesis requires adherence to the manufacturer’s storage and maintenance guidelines to preserve performance and image quality. Since it is a reusable system, proper cleaning and upkeep are essential. There are no noted MRI safety restrictions, but standard radiology department protocols should be followed to ensure optimal functionality and longevity of the device.
Does the DR 800 with Tomosynthesis support additional imaging modalities beyond tomosynthesis, and if so, what are they?
Yes, the DR 800 with Tomosynthesis is designed as a fully integrated digital imaging solution that supports standard radiography and fluoroscopy, in addition to its advanced tomosynthesis capabilities. This versatility allows radiology departments to use it for a range of diagnostic applications beyond just layered imaging.
