Intended Use
The Dunlee "FORMAT" collimator family restricts the dimensions of the diagnostic X-rav field by limiting the size of the primary X-ray beam. The Dunlee manual "FORMAT M" collimators are intended for use in diagnostic X-ray systems during radiographic examinations. The Dunlee automatic "FORMAT A" collimators are intended for use in diagnostic X-ray systems during radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations.
Device Story
Dunlee FORMAT collimator family comprises manual and automatic beam-limiting devices for diagnostic X-ray systems. Manual versions provide direct shutter control at the collimator head; automatic versions interface with X-ray systems via ISO-CAN software. Functionality includes rectangular/circular field limitation, light field simulation, source-image distance measurement (mechanical/electronic), spectral/wedge filtering, and area exposure product dose measurement. Used in radiography, fluoroscopy, cardio, and vascular imaging environments. Operated by radiology staff to control radiation exposure area, ensuring patient safety by minimizing unnecessary X-ray exposure during diagnostic procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. The device is a beam-limiting accessory for X-ray systems; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and compliance with established performance and safety standards (21CFR1020.30-32, IEC 60601 series, UL 2601-1).
Technological Characteristics

Device Name: DUNLEE "FORMAT" COLLIMATOR FAMILY
The Format collimator family will be used in Radiography, Fluoroscopy, Cardio and Vascular Xray systems. It has the following functionality (configuration dependant):
- X-ray field limitation (rectangular and circular); rectangular shuttering in some configurations . with direct user control at the collimator head (direct shutter control)
- Simulation of X-ray field by a light field .
- Measurement of source image distance (with an electronic or mechanical ruler) ●
- Spectral filtering ●
- Wedge filtering (semi-transparent filtering)
- Dose measurement (Area Exposure Product Measurement device) .
Format family consists of a manual version and automatic versions. The product configuration of the automatic version depends on the configuration of the X-ray system. It's a modular concept in which collimator functionalities can be added for radiographic or fluoroscopy applications,
The automatic collimators have an ISO-CAN software interface with the system through which they receive system commands at open-close level.
