The description focuses on the physical printing process and quality control for image output, with no mention of AI or ML for image analysis, processing, or decision-making.
No
The device is a printer used to produce diagnostic images on film; it does not directly treat or diagnose a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "dry film printer used to print diagnostic images on transparent film." It produces hard copies of images generated by medical imaging devices, but it does not generate diagnostic information itself. It is a tool for presenting diagnostic images, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "free-standing dry film printer" and a "dry, B/W printer," indicating it is a physical hardware device that prints images onto film.
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 Drystar AXYS is a printer that produces hard copies of medical images generated by imaging devices (like X-ray machines, CT scanners, etc.). It does not analyze biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for printing diagnostic images for viewing on a light box. This is a post-imaging process, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
Therefore, the Drystar AXYS falls under the category of a medical imaging accessory or output device, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Drystar AXYS is a free-standing dry film printer used to print diagnostic images on transparent film for viewing on a standard view box. It may be used in any situation in which a hard copy of an image generated by a medical imaging device is required or desirable, including digital mammography.

Device Description
The device is the new Drystar AXYS and it is a dry, B/W printer, using the direct thermal printing principle to produce continuous-tone images with medical diagnostic image quality onto plastic sheets which can be viewed on a light box. The printer is sold with two film input trays. Each tray can be adjusted to five different sizes (in inches) of film, including 8x10, 10x12, 11x14, 14x14 and 14x17. Three different types of film can be used in this new device, two for general purpose radiography and a new type of film for mammography, Drystar DT 2 M.
The new mammography film comes in only two sizes 8x10 and 10x12. It is thicker than the general purpose radiography film in order to provide a wider range of optical densities. The printer also handles borders for mammography images in a different manner than for regular medical images.

Prepared: September 19, 2007
A. Legally Marketed Predicate Devices.
The Drystar 5500 printer is legally marketed (cleared) under 510(k) number K023287. The new Drystar AXYS, the subject of the present 510(k), is very similar to the cleared Drystar 5500 in both hardware and software. From the point of view of the hardware and software, the Drystar AXYS is substantially equivalent to the Drystar 5500. From the point of view of the intended use of the device, dry printing general radiology and mammography images on film, the device is substantially equivalent to the Drystar 5500.
B. Device Description.
The device is the new Drystar AXYS and it is a dry, B/W printer, using the direct thermal printing principle to produce continuous-tone images with medical diagnostic image quality onto plastic sheets which can be viewed on a light box. The printer is sold with two film input trays. Each tray can be adjusted to five different sizes (in inches) of film, including 8x10, 10x12, 11x14, 14x14 and 14x17. Three different types of film can be used in this new device, two for general purpose radiography and a new type of film for mammography, Drystar DT 2 M.
The new mammography film comes in only two sizes 8x10 and 10x12. It is thicker than the general purpose radiography film in order to provide a wider

range of optical densities. The printer also handles borders for mammography images in a different manner than for regular medical images.
C. Intended Use.
The Drystar AXYS is a free-standing dry film printer used to print diagnostic images on transparent film for viewing on a standard view box. It may be used in any situation in which a hard copy of an image generated by a medical imaging device is required or desirable, including digital mammography.
D. Substantial Equivalence Summary.
The new Drystar AXYS has the same indications for use as the cleared Drystar 5500.
The new Drystar AXYS has essentially the same technological characteristics as the cleared Drystar 5500. The differences can be seen in Table 3.1 located in Section III.
This premarket notification has described the characteristics of the Drystar 5500 in sufficient detail to assure a substantial equivalence determination.
E. Technological Characteristics.
The technological characteristics of the new Drystar AXYS are identical to those of the predicate device, the Drystar 5500.
F. Testing
The Drystar AXYS contains an automatic QC procedure that assures compliance with the Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of the FDA. It was also tested against and met a number of consensus standards for safety and electromagnetic compatibility.
G. Conclusions.
This pre-market submission has demonstrated Substantial Equivalence as defined and understood in Sections 513(f)(1) and 513(l)(1) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and various guidance documents issued by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health.

Dear Mr. Lynch:
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 such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
