Device Description
The Imation™ SE-204 laser imager is intended use as a high resolution hard copy device for output from digital imaging source modalities for use in medical imaging diagnosis and referral.

The system is intended for use with a variety of digital modalities, including, but not limited to Digital Radiography and full view digital mammography for diagnostic use by medical radiologists and communications to referring physicians and their patients. The subject device and predicate devices use the same technical design base. The printers receive image data from the modality. Modality data and printing functions are performed by the IMS(Image management System). User control is performed by a keypad or directly by the modality through the host control. Imation imaging media is removed from a daylight cartridge and transported to the laser imaging station. Image data and media merge at the laser station and the film is scanned. The exposed media is transported through the integrated processor and exits the printer. Software is used to control the image management and machine functions. AIQC(Automated Image Quality Control) matches printing power with film characteristics to provide consistently high image quality.
More Information

Unknown
While the document mentions "AIQC (Automated Image Quality Control)", it does not provide enough detail to confirm if this system utilizes AI or ML algorithms, or if it's a rule-based automated system. The lack of mention of training/test sets or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML further supports this uncertainty.

No.
The device is described as a high-resolution hard copy output device for digital imaging source modalities, used for medical imaging diagnosis and referral, rather than for applying therapy.

No
The device is described as a "high resolution hard copy device for output from digital imaging source modalities," indicating it is a printer for medical images, not a device that performs diagnosis itself. It is used "for use in medical imaging diagnosis and referral" by medical radiologists, but it does not make the diagnosis.

No

The device is a laser imager, which is a hardware device that uses software to control its functions and process image data for printing. The description clearly outlines the physical components and processes involved in creating hard copies of medical images.

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 Imation™ SE-204 laser imager is a hard copy device that prints digital medical images onto film. It receives image data from imaging modalities (like X-ray or mammography) and transforms it into a physical image.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for creating hard copies of medical images for diagnosis and referral. This is a post-acquisition process, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

The device is clearly described as a printer for medical images, which falls under the category of medical imaging equipment, not in vitro diagnostics.

Performance Data:

An important performance characteristics for medical hard copy devices is spatial resolution. The subject and the predicate Agfa devices are similar with respect to spatial resolution with SE-204 pixels giving slightly higher dpi.

Safety and effectiveness are assured via meeting voluntary standards, including IEC601-1, IEC601-1-1, IEC601-1-2, UL2601 and Imation™ SE-204 Engineering specification(Part B).

With the successful conclusion of both the field test and internal tests for qualification, validation and reliability, the Product Team will approve final release for production (including Software). After final approval, according to the established procedures, the software code label will be changed to production level label.

Conclusion:

The subject device, like the predicates, has no patient contact. The devices also do not control. monitor or otherwise affect any devices directly connected to or affecting the patient. Images displayed by the subject device and its predicates are reviewed by medical personnel, offering ample opportunity for competent human intervention in case of a malfunction or other failure.

The subject and predicate device DryView™ Model 8300 have both been designed to the same safety standard. As with this predicate device, a test pattern generator and automatic image quality control(AIOC) system are incorporated to assure consistency between input signals and output density. The subject device has been designed to have similar resolution as the predicate Agfa LR 5200 Laser Film Recorder, which has the indications for use of full view digital mammography and high resolution computed radiography.

Imation therefore concludes that the Imation™ SE-204 Laser Imager is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
