Device Description
The LUMISCAN 135 system is a laser phosphor plate digitizer designed for darkroom operation to read recorded patient radiation patterns in the plate and a plate eraser system to prepare the plate for re-use. The system is based on a fixed size scanning spot and is characterized by high spatial resolution and a wide gray scale dynamic range. This is achieved with a high intensity spot of light derived from a solid-state laser that is scanned across the plate as the plate is moved perpendicular to the beam scan. As the laser scans the plate, the phosphor's stored x-ray attenuated equivalent energy is released as a different light wavelength. The emitted light is collected and digitized to provide an image that can be stored on disk, transmitted to other systems for processing and manipulation, archived or printed onto film. After the plate has been read, it is placed on a high intensity sealed lightbox for erasure. Erasing the plate brings all the phosphors down to a ground state from which the plate is now ready to be reused to record a patient's anatomy from x-rav. The LUMISCAN 135 houses a plate transport system, optics module and reading electronics. Separate from the LUMISCAN 135 is the eraser unit, Lumisys 135E, which incorporates high intensity lamps with a light-tight lid for returning the phosphors to zero. The LUMISCAN 135 uses a solid state laser diode as the beam source. The laser is conditioned by a lens for beam forming and coupled to a fiber. From the fiber, the energy is directed to a scanning galvanometer. The galvanometer has a mirror that is oscillating precisely across the width of the plate and irradiating the plate with laser light. As the light impinges the plate, stored energy from the plate is emitted and collected in an integrating cylinder. The collected light is detected by a photomultiplier, converted to an analog signal which is logarithmically amplified, corrected for spatial variations in the integrating cylinder, and then digitized by an A/D converter.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical process of digitizing and erasing phosphor plates using lasers and optics, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing or analysis. The "processing and manipulation" mentioned is likely standard digital image processing, not AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a laser phosphor plate digitizer that reads recorded patient radiation patterns and prepares plates for re-use, primarily for diagnostic imaging purposes (X-ray image acquisition and processing), not for treating a condition or disease.

No.
The LUMISCAN 135 system is a digitizer that reads recorded patient radiation patterns from a plate to provide an image. It does not perform any diagnostic function on the image itself, but rather provides the raw data for diagnostic interpretation by a physician or technologist.

No

The device description clearly outlines significant hardware components including a laser, plate transport system, optics module, reading electronics, and an eraser unit with lamps. While it mentions image processing, the core functionality relies on physical interaction with a phosphor plate and hardware for scanning and erasing.

Based on the provided information, the LUMISCAN 135 system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • LUMISCAN 135 Function: The LUMISCAN 135 system is designed to read and digitize radiation patterns recorded on a phosphor plate after a patient has been exposed to X-rays. It processes the physical information stored on the plate, not biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it reads "recorded patient radiation patterns" and prepares the plate for re-use. This is related to medical imaging, specifically computed radiography, which is a form of diagnostic imaging, but not an in vitro diagnostic process.

The device is a component of a medical imaging system used for diagnostic purposes, but it does not perform tests on biological samples.

digitized to provide an image that can be stored on disk, transmitted to other systems for processing and manipulation, archived or printed onto film. After the plate has been read, it is placed on a high intensity sealed lightbox for erasure. Erasing the plate brings all the phosphors down to a ground state from which the plate is now ready to be reused to record a patient's anatomy from x-rav.

The LUMISCAN 135 houses a plate transport system, optics module and reading electronics. Separate from the LUMISCAN 135 is the eraser unit, Lumisys 135E, which incorporates high intensity lamps with a light-tight lid for returning the phosphors to zero.

The collected light is detected by a photomultiplier, converted to an analog signal which is logarithmically amplified, corrected for spatial variations in the integrating cylinder, and then digitized by an A/D converter.

7. Hazard Analysis

Potential hazards as a result of equipment malfunction are:

    1. Phosphor plate may not digitize
    1. Phosphor plate may digitize partially.
    1. Image artifacts, and
    1. Phosphor plate may not completely erase.

The software has been designed to provide a user with system messages in case of equipment malfunction. These messages are listed in the Operators' Reference Guide and include a probable cause with any recommended action(s). Any artifacts that may be introduced into a digitized image, such as vertical lines resulting from dirt on the optics, are obvious to a physician or technologist.
