Intended Use
AeroPilot is a software device that is used in conjunction with REGIUS Unitea to control Konica Minolta Digital Radiography systems. This device is indicated for use in generating radiographic images of human anatomy. It is intended to replace radiographic film/ screen systems in general-purpose diagnostic procedures. This device is not indicated for use in mammography, fluoroscopy, tomography and angiography applications.
Device Description
The AeroPilot is a software device that is used in conjunction with our REGIUS Unitea. K071436, to control Konica Minolta Digital Radiography systems. The AeroPilot is the software designed to be installed in Off-the-shelf PC (operation console) which is one of component of REGIUS Unitea and works with Konica Minolta Digital Radiography systems to be an interface with X-ray generator or between REGIUS Unitea and the specified Konica Minolta Digital Radiography systems, and to acquire X-ray images like the specified Konica Minolta Digital Radiography systems do.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes software for controlling digital radiography systems and acquiring images, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as generating radiographic images for diagnostic purposes, not for treating any medical conditions.

Yes
The device is described as generating radiographic images of human anatomy and intended to replace radiographic film/screen systems in general-purpose diagnostic procedures, which directly indicates its use in diagnostics.

Yes

The device description explicitly states that AeroPilot is a "software device" and is designed to be installed on an "Off-the-shelf PC". While it interacts with hardware (Konica Minolta Digital Radiography systems and REGIUS Unitea), its function as described is purely software-based control and image acquisition interface.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for "generating radiographic images of human anatomy" and "to replace radiographic film/ screen systems in general-purpose diagnostic procedures." This describes a device used for in vivo imaging (imaging within a living organism), not in vitro testing (testing outside of a living organism, typically on biological samples).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it controls Digital Radiography systems and acquires X-ray images. This is consistent with an in vivo imaging device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances in the body, or any other activities typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the AeroPilot software, as described, is a component of a medical imaging system used for generating radiographic images of patients, which falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices, not in vitro diagnostic devices.

Dear Mr. Munves:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
