Siemens Medical Systems has received 510(k) clearance from the Food and Drug Administration for two new digital x-ray systems based on flat-panel detectors. The Iselin, NJ, vendor received the clearances on April 21 for Multix FD and Thorax FD, which were introduced at last years RSNA meeting in Chicago (SCAN 1/20/99).
Multix FD is a table-based x-ray system, while Thorax FD is intended for dedicated chest applications. Both units employ flat-panel digital detectors based on amorphous silicon that were developed by Trixell, the French joint venture company formed by Siemens, Philips, and Thomson Tubes Electroniques.
