## Intended Use

Radiographic Film Reading

## Device Story

The SL8000DLX is a motorized radiographic film illuminator used by clinicians to view medical films. It utilizes a CCD-based film detection assembly to identify film placement on the face plate. The device features a motorized belt and electro-optical shutter assembly that automatically masks areas of the face plate not covered by film, creating a dark background to minimize glare and reduce reader fatigue. The system is managed by PC-based control hardware and software. The operator monitors the masking performance and can manually reset the system if a failure occurs. By optimizing illumination, the device aims to improve visual perception capacity during film interpretation.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Motorized radiographic film illuminator; components include motorized belt assembly, fluorescent backlight, electro-optical shutter assembly, CCD-based film detection, and PC-based control hardware/software. Complies with MDD93/42/EEC electrical and mechanical safety standards.

## Regulatory Identification

A radiographic film illuminator is a device containing a visible light source covered with a translucent front that is intended to be used to view medical radiographs.

## 510(k) Summary

DEC 1 2 1997

Classification Name: Radiographic film illuminator Smart Motorized Viewer SL8000DLX Model name:

This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92.

The SL800001 is a motorized radiographic film illuminator which enables electro-optical masking of the back illumination in such a way that those parts of the face plate which are covered by films are illuminated, and exposed parts of the face plate are masked (dark). The SL80000 is designed to minimize problems which are associated with glare induced degradation of visual perception capacity and fatigue of film readers.

The SL800000 is is comprised of a motorized belt assembly, fluorescent backlight assembly, electro-optical shutter asembly, CCD based film detection assembly and PC-based control hardware and software.

Predicate devices include AMS/Planilux Rotolux and Mammolux (K922079), S&S/RADX MV220/MV400 and SmartLight's Digital Film Viewer SL4000"LCS (K952188). The indication for use of the predicate devices and the SL8000 04x is radiographic film reading.

The SL800000 restricts the back illumination to film areas by electro-optical shutters in a 110 DE000 - Tostrely the Oasignal Film Viewer SL4000°LUS (K952188). AMS/Planilux Rotolux and Mammolux (K922079) and S&S/RADX MV220/MV400 restrict the back illumination by manual adjustment of mechanical shutters.

The SL8000 "In is designed to comply with MDD93/42/EEC standards of electrical and mechanical safety.

The only identified specific modality hazard is a failure in the electro-optical masking, which might degrade the quality of the film reading. Such failure is, however, immediately observed by the operator of the device, who should take the necessary steps (such as pressing the RESET key) to correct the problem.

Based on the above, it is SmartLight's opinion that the SL8000445 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Ben-Zeev:

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 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 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 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.dexice.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.
