The RSV (Radiology System Visiodent) device is used to provide instant images of x-rayed human oral tissue and teeth without the use of conventional x-ray films. This is achieved by using the conventional x-ray tube, but by placing an electronic sensor, instead of film, inside the patient's mouth. The sensor, upon radiation exposure, automatically captures the images into a computer for viewing, storage, printing and manipulation of the x-rays.
Device Story
RSV (Radiology System Visiodent) is a digital dental radiography system; replaces conventional x-ray film with an electronic sensor placed in the patient's mouth. Upon radiation exposure from a conventional x-ray tube, the sensor captures radiographic data; transmits to a computer for viewing, storage, printing, and image manipulation. Used in dental clinical settings by dental professionals. Provides immediate digital visualization of oral structures; facilitates diagnostic assessment; eliminates film processing time.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to legally marketed predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Extraoral source x-ray system (21 CFR 872.1800); utilizes electronic sensor for digital image capture; interfaces with computer hardware for image processing and storage.
Indications for Use
Indicated for capturing instant digital radiographic images of human oral tissue and teeth for diagnostic purposes in patients requiring dental x-rays.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An extraoral source x-ray system is an AC-powered device that produces x-rays and is intended for dental radiographic examination and diagnosis of diseases of the teeth, jaw, and oral structures. The x-ray source (a tube) is located outside the mouth. This generic type of device may include patient and equipment supports and component parts.

Device Name: ___________ RSV (Radiology System Visiodent
Indications For Use:
The RSV (Radiology System Visiodent) device is used to provide instant images of x-rayed human oral tissue and teeth without the use of conventional x-ray films.
This is achieved by using the conventional x-ray tube, but by placing an electronic sensor, instead of film, inside the patient's mouth. The sensor, upon radiation exposure, automatically captures the images into a computer for viewing, storage, printing and manipulation of the x-rays.
RSV is therefore similar to Trophy's RVG and Video Dental Concept's QuickRay and several other legal systems, in its intended use.
