Intended Use
Imation Trimax Cassettes are intended for use during diagnostic x-ray procedures to hold a radiographic film in close contact with an x-ray intensifying screen and to provide a light-proof enclosure for direct exposure of radiographic film.
Device Description
Imation Trimax Cassettes are intended for use during diagnostic x-ray procedures to hold radiographic film in close contact with an x-ray intensifying screen and to provide a light-proof enclosure for direct exposure of radiographic film. The cassettes are in a family of film sizes. The Trimax C-1 series contain a window that permits writing by a radiographic film marking system. The Trimax C-2 series is windowless. Radiologic cassettes are comprised of a light-tight chamber for preventing radiologic film exposure, a compressible backplate material to assure intimate film screen contact, a latching mechanism for removal and replacement of radiographic film, a patientoriented surface transparent to x-ray energy, lead shielding to prevent unwanted exposure to stray x-ray energy and suitable support structure for durability of the assembly.

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a passive mechanical device (a cassette) for holding film during x-ray procedures. There is no mention of any computational or analytical functions, let alone AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an x-ray cassette used to hold film during diagnostic x-ray procedures, which is primarily for image acquisition, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

This device is an x-ray cassette, which holds film for diagnostic x-ray procedures. It does not perform the diagnostic imaging itself, but is a component used in the process.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a light-tight chamber, backplate, latching mechanism, and lead shielding, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for holding radiographic film during diagnostic x-ray procedures. This is a function related to 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 details the physical components and function of a cassette used in traditional x-ray imaging. This aligns with an in vivo imaging process.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, the Imation Trimax Cassettes are a component used in diagnostic imaging, specifically radiography, which is distinct from in vitro diagnostics.

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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (2) 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 the Electronic Product 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.
