Intended Use
The Automatic Radiographic Film Processor is intended to be used to process films exposed for medical purposes. The automatic and continuous process contains developing, fixing, washing and drying of films. This may be used in all general radiographic, diagnostic imaging procedures.
Device Description
Due to the precise roller transport system, both sheet and roller films can be processed. The Automatic film registration is activated immediately when a film is fed in. The transport system starts running. The film material is developed , fixed, rinsed and dried. With the easy to operate micro-processor, the processing conditions can be adjusted to suit the various film and chemical types. The developing solutions are temperatureregulated, circulated and automatically replenished. The feed with of the LifeRay PRO 2500 is 35cm, the smallest film format of the processor is 10x10cm.

No
The description details a traditional film processing device with a microprocessor for adjusting settings, but no mention of AI or ML for image analysis or other functions.

No
The device is an automatic radiographic film processor, which is used for processing medical films, not for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease.

No

Explanation: The device is an automatic radiographic film processor, which processes films for medical purposes. It is not used to diagnose conditions directly but rather to prepare images for diagnostic interpretation.

No

The device description clearly details a physical machine with mechanical components (roller transport system, film registration, transport system, drying mechanism) and chemical processes (developing, fixing, washing). This is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to process films exposed for medical purposes, specifically for radiographic and diagnostic imaging procedures. This involves processing physical films after they have been exposed to radiation, which is a step in the imaging workflow, not a test performed on biological samples in vitro.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical and chemical process of developing, fixing, washing, and drying films. This is a physical process applied to a film medium, not a diagnostic test performed on a patient's sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is to process the output of a medical imaging procedure (the exposed film), not to perform a diagnostic test itself.

· Device Description:

Due to the precise roller transport system, both sheet and roller films can be processed. The Automatic film registration is activated immediately when a film is fed in. The transport system starts running. The film material is developed , fixed, rinsed and dried. With the easy to operate micro-processor, the processing conditions can be adjusted to suit the various film and chemical types. The developing solutions are temperatureregulated, circulated and automatically replenished. The feed with of the LifeRay PRO 2500 is 35cm, the smallest film format of the processor is 10x10cm.

• Intended Use:

The Automatic X-Ray Film Processor is intended to be used to process films exposed for medical purposes. The automatic and continuous process contains developing, fixing, washing and dryng of films.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence Comparison: .

The comparison of similarities and differences shows that the new device LifeRay PRO 2500 Automatic Radiographic Film Processor, which is intended to market and the predicate device:

    1. Have the same intended use.
    1. Have the same target user group.
    1. Have the same technological characteristics.

There are no new questions about safety and effectiveness. The new device is a safe and effective as the predicate device.

The Automatic Radiographic Film Processor is substantially equivalent to the Protec Optimax Automatic X-Ray Film Processor.

· Technological Characteristics:

The photographic processing (developing) technique employed by the Automatic Radiographic Film Processor is the same as the predicate device. The film medium is mechanically transported for immersion in two chemical baths (developer and fixer), is rinsed in water, dried, and then eiected for viewing. The processors use mechanical rollers and guides for transportation, the solutions are temperature-regulated, circulated and automatically replenished, and same additional functions (anti-crystallization cycle, stand-by mode). Both are controlled by an integrated software.
