Device Story

The Konica Mammography Cassette (Models CM and CM DS-7) is a radiographic accessory designed to hold X-ray film during diagnostic imaging procedures. The device functions as a light-tight container that protects the film from ambient light while allowing X-rays to pass through to expose the film. It is used in clinical radiology settings by trained radiologic technologists. The output is an exposed X-ray film, which is subsequently processed to produce a diagnostic image for review by a radiologist. The device facilitates the capture of mammographic images, aiding in the diagnostic assessment of breast tissue.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Radiographic cassette designed for X-ray film housing. Light-tight construction. Form factor specific to mammography imaging requirements. Non-electronic, passive mechanical device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic X-ray imaging procedures requiring film-based mammography cassettes.

Regulatory Classification

Dear Mr. Munves:

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 requirement, 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 [phone]. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
