4 Description
Intended Purpose Statement under the European Medical Device Regulation 2017/745:
X-ray tube assembly intended to be integrated into X-ray imaging systems for medical purposes

4.1 Intended purpose

This X-ray tube housing assemblies consists of a metallic (e.g. steel, aluminumalloy) case that houses
an X-ray tube to provide appropriate limits for X-ray leakage and adequate insulation to avoid electric
risks during a diagnostic X-ray procedure. It includes sheet lead surrounds at appropriate locations to
shield unwanted X-ray radiation and collimators near the aperture; it is usually filled with oil to prevent
electrical arcs from the high-voltage components of the X-ray tube. The housing also includes
attachment points, cooling means, high-voltage cables, and supports for the tube and cable
receptacles.

This X-ray tube housing assembly is intended to be used in diagnostic X-ray systems for radiographic
and fluoroscopic applications.

Indications

Indication for use of the X-ray tube housing assembly is every clinical indication which requires a
diagnostic X-ray procedure using a diagnostic X-ray system. The specific indications, parts of the body
and the duration of the exposure for which the X-ray tube housing assembly can be used (once or
repeated) are defined by the diagnostic X-ray system in which the X-ray tube housing assembly is inte-
grated.

Contra-indications

For the X-ray tube housing assembly no other contra-indications besides the ones for general
radiologic procedures are currently known. Specific contra-indications might need to be defined by
the system integrator of the diagnostic X-ray system in which the X-ray tube housing assembly is
integrated.

Intended patient population

The X-ray tube housing assembly may be used for each patient who is admitted for an X-ray
examination, from newborn to geriatric. The patient population might need to be restricted on system
level as result of the integration of the X-ray tube housing assembly into a diagnostic X-ray system by
the system integrator.

Intended users

X-ray tube housing assemblies are intended to be integrated into diagnostic X-ray systems by a system
integrator, for whom it is required to have specific technical and medical knowledge and skills,
including but not limited to radiation protection, electrical and mechanical safety and cl inical
procedures for which the finalized system is released. Integrated into the diagnostic X-ray system, X-
ray tube housing assembly/ single tank tube assembly are intended to be operated by adequately
trained clinical users. Instructions for use of these devices address exclusively the system integrator
and are not intended being handed over to the clinical operators. All information and advices for the
clinical operator are to be included in the instruction for use and accompanying documents of the
finished diagnostic X-ray system in which the X-ray tube housing assembly is integrated.
