The document describes a medical imager/printer that uses standard image processing algorithms and communication protocols. There is no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as an imager/printer for hard copy output of medical images for diagnosis and referral, not for directly treating a condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an imager/printer for producing hard copies of digital image source material. While the output images are "suitable for medical image diagnosis use and referral," the device itself is a display/output device, not one that directly performs diagnostic analysis or interpretation. It facilitates diagnosis by providing images, but it doesn't make the diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "dry, thermal, color-only (NP-2600), grayscale only (NP-26xx) and grayscale/color(NP-2660) printer/imagers" and produces "continuous tone, diagnostic quality BM images on transmissive film and reflective incident-light-viewed media." This indicates a physical hardware device that produces hardcopy output, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The NP-2600 Series Imagers are described as devices that produce hard copies (film or reflective media) of digital medical images. They are essentially printers for medical imaging data.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "high resolution hard copy imaging of digital image source material" from various medical imaging modalities (radiography, CT, MRI, etc.) for "medical image diagnosis use and referral." This is about displaying existing images, not analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device interacting with or analyzing any biological samples from a patient.
The device's function is to provide a physical output of images generated by other diagnostic modalities, which are the actual diagnostic tools in this context. The imager itself does not perform a diagnostic test on a biological sample.

Device Description
The NP-2600 Series Imagers are dry, thermal, color-only (NP-2600), grayscale only (NP-26xx) and grayscale/color(NP-2660) printer/imagers. The devices produce continuous tone, diagnostic quality BM images on transmissive film and reflective incident-light-viewed media. The color images produced via dye-diffusion technology are photographic quality implementing a "CRT to Image" matching process for medical applications.
Digital images, input directly or via Local Area Network, are managed via communication standards including however not limited to FTP, TCP/IP, and DICOM. Images of a variety of digital formats are managed via industry standard format conversion software and image rendering algorithms including however not limited to TIFF, GIF, PCX, BMP, PBM, PGM, PPM, XWD, JPEG, SunRaster, SGI, Targa, DICOM, DEFF, and Postscript. Interpolation and scaling of images without Lossy data compression is employed in this device to maintain data integrity. Validated digital linear and visual linear routines and verified industry/modality specific Look Up Tables (LUTs) are applied to optimize color and CRT image hardcopy display results.
Imaging is accomplished via directly-modulated discrete-element thin-layer linear thermal print head technology. The recording medium is either heat sensitive silver in the case of grev scale film, heat activated dye in the case of DirectVista® reflective record imaging, or thermal heat activated dye-diffusion from a color donor in the case of ChromaVista reflective or transmissive color imaging. The action of heat on the grey scale media produces a black dye in the medium. The action of heat on the dye-diffusion media produces a precision mixing of colors, which diffuse into the medium's top layer. The image formation is accomplished without wet chemistry processing common to many laser film imaging systems in use today.

3.1 Function
The NP-2600 Series Imagers are dry, thermal, color-only (NP-2600), grayscale only (NP-26xx) and grayscale/color(NP-2660) printer/imagers. The devices produce continuous tone, diagnostic quality BM images on transmissive film and reflective incident-light-viewed media. The color images produced via dye-diffusion technology are photographic quality implementing a "CRT to Image" matching process for medical applications.

3.2 Scientific Concepts:
Digital images, input directly or via Local Area Network, are managed via communication standards including however not limited to FTP, TCP/IP, and DICOM. Images of a variety of digital formats are managed via industry standard format conversion software and image rendering algorithms including however not limited to TIFF, GIF, PCX, BMP, PBM, PGM, PPM, XWD, JPEG, SunRaster, SGI, Targa, DICOM, DEFF, and Postscript. Interpolation and scaling of images without Lossy data compression is employed in this device to maintain data integrity. Validated digital linear and visual linear routines and verified industry/modality specific Look Up Tables (LUTs) are applied to optimize color and CRT image hardcopy display results.
Imaging is accomplished via directly-modulated discrete-element thin-layer linear thermal print head technology. The recording medium is either heat sensitive silver in the case of grev scale film, heat activated dye in the case of DirectVista® reflective record imaging, or thermal heat activated dye-diffusion from a color donor in the case of ChromaVista reflective or transmissive color imaging. The action of heat on the grey scale media produces a black dye in the medium. The action of heat on the dye-diffusion media produces a precision mixing of colors, which diffuse into the medium's top layer. The image formation is accomplished without wet chemistry processing common to many laser film imaging systems in use today.
3.3 Physical And Performance Characteristics:
In the case of medical image hard copy devices, important performance characteristics, which affect the effectiveness and safety, relate to the fidelity of the modulation transfer function. Spatial frequency response, grey scale resolution, density response and full image field uniformity combine to affect the final image. Characteristic response of thermal print head and film response must be mapped and compensated for to achieve suitable performance.
Pixel size (81u for the NP-2600 Series Imagers) produces a pixel resolution of 12.4 pixels/mm or 314 dpi. The grey scale resolution produces a palate of 256 levels of discernable grey, while the color palate produces 256 levels each of yellow, magenta and cyan for a total of 16.7 million colors. The SMPTE resolution and contrast pattern and uniform density response function confirms quality suitable for the intended medical imaging use.

7 Hazard Analysis and Safety Concerns
7.1Hazard analysis on this product has been performed throughout the product concept and testing phases of the product development and implementation. This process has emphasized:
- Identification of potential hazards, their causes and their effects .
- Development of methodologies to control the occurrence of hazards and to constrain their . effects;
- . Determine any effect on patient safety and system effectiveness
The potential hazards associated with this product are not different than those of other hardcopy image components. These are primarily related to the failure of computer system components, and may be variously obviated by decisions taken by the end users of the product. None of the failures are expected to materially contribute to patient death or injury.
It is our conclusion that no hardware or software component, operating in a properly configured environment, whose latent design defect would be expected to result in death or injury of the patient. Thus the "level of Concern" is "Minor".
