4/11/95 | | Description of Device: | Automatic Radiographic Film Processor | | Intended Use: | The Level 356 X-Ray Film Processor is a
diagnostic device intended to be used to
develop, fix, wash, and dry automatically
and continuously film exposed for medical
and dental purposes. This is the sole purpose
of this device. | | Comparison Summary: | This film processor is operates like most
predicate devices in that it uses a series of
transport rollers to pull film through a series
of open developer solution, fixer solution,
and wash water tanks. Developer and fixer
solution temperature is controlled
automatically by a computer board. No
plumbing is required | {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
