Intended Use
The LaserPro 16 is a desk top laser image digitizer intended to produce digital copies of radiological film in 10 bit gray scale. The digital copies are transmitted to a conventional based personal computer (PC) where they may be transmitted to a PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) or other networks to other medical facility sites.
Device Description
The eRadLink LaserPro 16 is a digitizing scanner that converts radiographic film transparency images to digital format. This is accomplished by utilizing a laser beam light source and a proprietary sealed optic path. There are no internal lenses, mirrors, or electro-optic devices. The new technology provides superior image quality, requires no internal optics cleaning, no optical alignment and is inherently highly accurate and reliable. Film, from a minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of 14 inches in width and, from a minimum of 2 inches to a maximum of over 52 inches in length is driven passed the scanning laser beam by a clocked, stepping motor. Scanned data is electronically converted from analog to 16 bit digital gray scale and transmitted to the host computer in DICOM format.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware and process of digitizing film using a laser and optical path, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis or processing.

No.
The device digitizes radiological films for archival and transmission, it does not provide treatment or therapy.

No

The device digitizes radiological film but does not analyze the images to provide a diagnosis. Its function is to convert physical film to a digital format for archival and transmission.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components like a laser beam light source, sealed optic path, stepping motor, and analog-to-digital converter, indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The LaserPro 16 digitizes radiographic film. This is a process of converting existing images (already produced from a medical procedure) into a digital format. It does not perform any analysis or testing on biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to produce digital copies of radiological film for transmission and storage. This is related to image management and communication, not diagnostic testing of biological samples.
  • Input: The input is radiographic film, not a biological sample.

Therefore, the LaserPro 16 falls under the category of medical imaging devices or image management systems, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The LaserPro 16 Laser Film Digitizer is intended to be used in a Radiological Laboratory or Doctors office to read and digitize gray scale images from conventional x-rays for transmission to PC computer. The receiving computer allows the technician to add patient identification, review the x-ray at various rotations and options and compress the image using industry accepted techniques to an average file size of less than one megabyte. Compressed images are encapsulated in DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) format, which then may be transmitted via various communication protocols to other sites or archived by a PACS host.

The LaserPro 16 is a desk top laser image digitizer intended to produce digital copies of radiological film in 10-bit gray scale. The digital copies are transmitted to a personal computer (PC) where they may be transmitted to a central host computer and/or across local area network (LAN) / wide area network (WAN) networks to other medical facility sites.
