On March 10, an FDA inspector conducted a field test of the certified diagnostic x-ray system, which Source One had assembled, at an unnamed facility. The agency tested the system to determine its compliance with portions of the Performance Standard for Diagnostic X-Ray Equipment and found that for technique factors of 90 kVp, and 22.4 mA, the automatic fluoroscopic Fluoroscopic (fluoroscopy) An x-ray procedure that produces immediate images and motion on a screen. The images look like those seen at airport baggage security stations. Mentioned in: Hypotonic Duodenography entrance exposure rate was measured to be 35.2 R/min. Further, at the technique factors of 80 kVp, and 37.3 mA, the manual fluoroscopic entrance exposure rate measured at 39.8 R/min. These exceed the limit of 10 R/min specified in 21 CFR CFR See: Cost and Freight 1020.32(d), the agency said. The agency instructed Source One to investigate the deviations from the performance standard to determine if the deviations were caused by improper assembly or installation, in which case the company is required to either repair the system, replace it or refund the cost. However, if Source One determines the deviations were caused by the factory-based manufacturer, notification must be sent to the manufacturer; and if Source One determines the deviations are directly attributable to user abuse or lack of maintenance, the company must submit supporting evidence to FDA, the warning letter concluded.
