Device Description
The KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE™ Dental Scanning System consists of the KODAK Image Magic TM Print Scanner 2000, a transparency adapter, and TWAIN Data Source software. The KODAK Image Magic™ Print Scanner 2000 is a 36 bit 600 dpi flatbed scanner connected to the user's computer through a SCSI interface. The transparency adapter provides an overhead light source for transparent media. The TWAIN Data Source software is used to control the scanner, optimize the scanned image using tone scaling algorithms, and communicate with application software through the TWAIN interface. Kodak's Dental X-ray Scanner (KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE™ Dental Scanning System or KDS DSS) is designed to support; dental radiography scanning to convert film to digital form. The KDS DSS is designed to operate on a standard PC-compatible computer and accomplish scanning with a commercially available quality flatbed scanner interfaced to the PC. The KDS Dental Scanning System is a fully functional digital radiograph scanning system. Features include; advanced graphical user interface, intelligent scanning and image enhancement, scanning of full-mouth sets and other mounts, and interfaces to practice management systems.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard scanning technology, software for image control and optimization using "tone scaling algorithms," and a graphical user interface. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-driven devices. The "intelligent scanning and image enhancement" feature is likely referring to conventional image processing algorithms, not AI/ML.

No
The device is a scanner designed to convert dental radiographic film into digital images, which is not a therapeutic function.

No

The device is a scanner designed to convert dental radiographic film into digital form, with features for image display and optimization, but it does not perform analysis or interpretation of the images for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes hardware components: the KODAK Image Magic TM Print Scanner 2000 and a transparency adapter.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Scanning of dental radiographic film." This describes a process of converting a physical image (film) into a digital format. It does not describe a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on specimens like blood, urine, or tissue to diagnose a disease or condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a scanner, transparency adapter, and software for image acquisition and processing. This aligns with a medical imaging device, not an IVD.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is "dental radiographic film," which is an imaging modality, not a biological specimen.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

The device is clearly designed for medical imaging purposes, specifically digitizing dental X-rays. While the resulting digital images might be used by a dental professional for diagnosis, the device itself is a tool for image acquisition and processing, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

The basis for the equivalence is that both systems consist of a flatbed scanning device interfacing with a personal computer which digitizes dental x-ray film with image preview software containing similar functionality. The following table summarizes the three products functional equivalence.

Each system performs high definition scanning of images from dental x-ray film for display on monitors. Based on input quality the level of clarity and definition is similar, although the KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Dental Scanning System has the ability with its proprietary enhancement algorithms to image enhance.

The only real difference in the systems is the choice of hardware, interface connection options and the ability to enhance poor quality images. Both systems use reliable, mature components. The software and system functionalities are comparable with few minor exceptions in image enhancement ( refer to image quality/enhancement test results).

Based on the similarities of the purpose and functionalities of these three systems, Kodak concludes that the KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Dental Scanning System is substantially equivalent to the TAU Corporation TigerScan/TigerView x-ray scanning and imaging device and the KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE Film Digitizer.

Dear Ms. Wallace:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdr/h/dsmamain html".
