Intended Use
The Automatic X-Ray Film Processor is intended to be used to process films exposed for medical purposes. The automatic and continuous process contains developing, fixing, washing and drying of films. This may be used in all general radiographic, diagnostic imaging procedures.
Device Description
Due to the precise roller transport system, both sheet and roller films can be processed. The automatic film registration is activated immediately when a film is fed in. The transport system starts running. The film material is developed, fixed, rinsed and dried. With the easy to operate micro-processor, the processing conditions can be adjusted to suit the various film and chemical types. The developing solutions are temperature-regulated, circulated and automatically replenished. The feed width of the OPTIMAX is 35 cm, the bigger COMPACT 2 has 45 cm feed with. The smallest film format of both processors is 10*10 cm. The photographic processing (developing) technique employed by the Automatic X-Ray Film Processor is the same as the predicate device. The film medium is mechanically transported for immersion in two chemical baths (developer and fixer), is rinsed in water, dried, and then ejected for viewing. The processors use mechanical rollers and guides for transportation, the solutions are temperature-regulated, circulated and automatically replenished, and same additional functions (anti-crystallization cycle, stand-by mode). Both are controlled by an integrated software.

No
The description focuses on mechanical and chemical processes for developing X-ray film, controlled by a microprocessor for adjusting parameters. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any form of data-driven learning or decision-making beyond basic automation.

No
The device processes medical films; it does not directly treat or diagnose patients.

No

This device is an X-ray film processor, which is used to develop X-ray films after they have been exposed. It does not perform any diagnostic function itself; it merely prepares the film for viewing and interpretation by a medical professional. The diagnostic process is performed by the medical professional viewing the film, not by the film processor.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical machine with mechanical components (roller transport system, film registration, mechanical rollers and guides), chemical baths, and temperature regulation. While it mentions integrated software, the core function and components are hardware-based.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to process films exposed for medical purposes (X-ray films). This is a process related to medical imaging, not the examination of specimens taken from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details the mechanical and chemical process of developing X-ray films. It does not mention any interaction with biological samples or the analysis of substances from the body.
  • Input Imaging Modality: The input is X-ray film, which is a physical medium used to capture images, not a biological specimen.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device's function is to process the output of an imaging procedure, not to analyze biological samples.

RE: K992818 OPTIMAX/COMPACT 2 Dated: August 19, 1999 Received: August 20, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 892.1900/Procode: 90 IXW

Dear Ms. Stamp:

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 legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been redassified 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 dass 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 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. Also, please note the requlation 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 internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html".
