Intended Use
The intended uses of the Horizon XL are identical to the Codonics Horizon® Series Medical Hardcopy Dry Imagers (premarket notification K021054); high resolution hard copy imaging of digital image source material combining color, film, reflective media in one imager. The hardcopy output includes however is not limited to, digital radiography, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, CT, MRI, CR and Radiation Therapy planning. Images are suitable for medical image diagnosis use and referral. The system is intended for use by medical radiologists, imaging modality specialists, and communications to referring physicians. The addition of 14" x 36" and 14" x 51" true size "long" film and (TBD) reflective Direct Vista Paper media permits digital direct orthopaedic application hardcopy including diagnosis and analysis of scoliosis, weight bearing spine/hip/knee, and long bone/hip Prosthetic and orthopedic appliances work-up and surgical planning. Horizon XL is applicable to true-size hardcopy of whole body CT, MRI and Angiographic and Venous flow imaging procedures.
Device Description
The Horizon® Series Imagers are dry, thermal, grey scale and grev scale/color (Ci model) direct thermal 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 medical color matched quality. The Horizon® XL provides the capability to image True Size Long films used in Orthopedic applications, particularly in spine and long bone studies. These have been traditionally performed utilizing contact-screen film radiography utilizing special long, light-sensitive x-ray films in special long film/screen cassettes. As more imaging departments and centers become committed to PACS implementation and the application of digital radiography (CR and DR) acquisition, Horizon® XL brings long films into the all-digital world.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard image processing techniques like format conversion, interpolation, scaling, and LUTs, but makes no mention of AI or ML.

No
This device is a printer/imager that produces hardcopy images for diagnostic use, not a device that provides therapy or treatment.

No

The device is a medical hardcopy dry imager that produces diagnostic quality images, but it does not perform the diagnosis itself. Its function is to provide hardcopy output of digital image source material for medical image diagnosis use and referral.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dry, thermal, grey scale and grev scale/color (Ci model) direct thermal printer/imagers" and mentions producing "continuous tone, diagnostic quality BM images on transmissive film and reflective incident light viewed media." This indicates a physical hardware component (the imager/printer) is integral to the device's function, not just software.

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Horizon XL is a medical hardcopy dry imager. Its function is to produce physical prints (hardcopy) of digital medical images acquired from various imaging modalities (X-ray, CT, MRI, etc.).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for creating hardcopy images for medical image diagnosis, referral, and surgical planning. This involves visualizing images already obtained from the patient, not analyzing biological samples from the patient.
  • No Mention of Biological Samples: The description focuses entirely on the processing and printing of digital image data. There is no mention of handling or analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, the Horizon XL falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Mentions image processing

Digital images input directly or via Local Area Network is 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-laver linear thermal print head technology. The recording medium is either heat sensitive silver in the case of DV grey scale film and DV DirectView reflective record imaging, or thermal heat activated dvediffusion of color in the case of CV DirectView and Transparency/film record 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 the medium top layer. The image formation is accomplished without wet chemistry processing common to many laser film imaging systems in use today.

Codonics believes the Horizon XL Model Imagers to be substantially equivalent to Medical Image Hardcopy Devices currently in commercial distribution in the U.S. We have selected Horizon® Series Medical Hardcopy Dry Imagers (premarket notification K021054) as the predicate device for our claim of substantial equivalence, Attachment 6 contains information describing these predicate devices and provides a comparison of the Horizon XL Imagers to the predicate device and describes how any differences of note are substantially equivalent.

7 Hazard Analysis and Safety Concerns

  • 7.1 Hazard analysis on this product has been performed throughout the definition, design, 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 software product are not different than those of the Horizon® Series Medical Hardcopy Dry Imagers (premarket notification K021054) 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".
