No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a passive optical component (a light diffuser) with no mention of computational processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities.

No
The device is a diffuser panel for radiographic film illuminators, which are used to view images. It does not directly treat or diagnose any medical condition.

No

The device's intended use is to diffuse light in radiographic film illuminators, which are used to view images, not interpret them. It is a component for viewing equipment, not a diagnostic tool itself. The predicate device also does not indicate a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like films and a polycarbonate panel, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "diffuse the light source in Radiographic Film Illuminators." This is a function related to the display of medical images (radiographic film), not to the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of a light diffusing panel. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring analytes
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on biological samples.

The device is a component of a medical imaging system (a radiographic film illuminator), but it does not perform an in vitro diagnostic test itself.

4. Description of the device

The Diffuser Panel consists of layers of light diffusing and brightness enhancer films, plus a clear polycarbonate panel that is coated with a scratch guard to protect the surface of the brightness enhancer from scratching.

5. Intended use of the device

The Diffuser Panel is designed to diffuse the light source in Radiographic Film Illuminators.

6. Comparison of technological characteristics with predicate device

The function of glass or plastic translucent panels is to diffuse light, and distribute bright light evenly over the x-ray film. The Focused Viewer Diffuser Panel is composed of plastic and is designed to diffuse light and distribute light evenly over the x-ray film in a manner equivalent to marketed devices and to provide at least equivalent brightness.
