Not Found

No
The summary describes a solid-state x-ray acquisition device that replaces film cassettes. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing beyond basic acquisition.

No.
The device is described as an x-ray acquisition device that replaces film cassettes, indicating it is used for diagnostic imaging rather than therapy.

No
The device is described as an "x-ray acquisition device" designed to replace film-cassettes, which means it captures x-ray images. It does not perform analysis or diagnosis based on the acquired images.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "solid-state (electronic) x-ray acquisition device," indicating it is a hardware component designed to replace physical film cassettes.

Based on the provided information, the DX-480 Imager Unit is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "x-ray acquisition device designed to replace film-cassettes used in conventional x-ray processes." This describes a device used for in vivo imaging (imaging within a living organism), not for testing samples in vitro (outside of a living organism).
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as an x-ray acquisition device used in conjunction with positioning equipment for conventional x-ray processes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on these samples, or providing diagnostic information based on such tests.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The DX-480 Imager Unit's function is to capture x-ray images of the body itself.

Dear Mr. Andres:

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 (Special Controls) or class III (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 (QS) 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 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. 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 finternet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdr/dsmaldsmamain.html".
