Intended Use
The Vidar VXR-LS Film Digitizer is intended for producing digital copies of medical x-ray films.
Device Description
The Vidar VXR-LS is a digitizer of radiographic film transparencies incorporating a laser beam scanned in one direction, a mechanical stage that moves a sheet of film in the orthogonal direction, a light collector and photomultiplier and electronic circuity for analog-to-digital conversion, system operation, and connection to external networks.
More Information

There are no reference devices mentioned in the provided text.

No
The device description focuses on the hardware components and basic digitization process, with no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing that would typically indicate such technology.

No
The device is a film digitizer, intended for creating digital copies of x-ray films, not for diagnosing, treating, or preventing disease.

No
The device digitizes medical x-ray films but does not provide diagnostic information or analysis of the images. Its intended use is to produce digital copies of films, not to diagnose patients.

No

The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a laser beam, mechanical stage, light collector, photomultiplier, and electronic circuitry, indicating it is a physical 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 produce digital copies of medical x-ray films. This is a process of converting existing images into a digital format, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details the technical components for scanning and digitizing film. It doesn't mention any reagents, assays, or procedures for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The information does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of analytes
    • Diagnosis, monitoring, or screening of diseases based on biological markers.

The device is a film digitizer, which is a tool for managing and viewing medical images, not for performing in vitro diagnostic tests.

§ 892.2030 Medical image digitizer.

(a)
Identification. A medical image digitizer is a device intended to convert an analog medical image into a digital format. Examples include Iystems employing video frame grabbers, and scanners which use lasers or charge-coupled devices.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std.). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
