More Information

No
The document describes a thermal printer for medical images and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No
The device is a printer for diagnostic images and is not involved in treating or diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device is a thermal printer intended for printing diagnostic images, not for performing diagnosis itself. It is explicitly described as a "general purpose thermal printer" and an "accessory" to medical imaging systems.

No

The device is described as a "thermal printer" and "digital film imager," which are hardware components. It is intended to print images, a physical output. While it connects to a network and receives digital data, its primary function is a physical process performed by hardware.

Based on the provided information, the Sony UP-DF500 FilmStation™ Digital Film Imager is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this device is a thermal printer used to print diagnostic images from medical imaging systems (like CT and MRI). It does not interact with or analyze biological samples.
  • The device's function is printing images. Its purpose is to create a physical copy of a digital image for review, not to perform any diagnostic test or analysis on a biological sample.

The device is a medical device, specifically a medical image printer, but it falls under a different regulatory category than IVD devices.

Dear Ms. Sinclair:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
