The following safety and effectiveness summary has been prepared pursuant to requirement for 510(k) summaries specified in 21CFR 807.92(a) #### Submitter Information FEB 1 2 2003 FERRANIA USA INC., Official Corrispondent Ferrania Imaging Technologies 2700-EAST FRONTAGE ROAD WEATHERFORD, OK 73096 Phone: (580) 774-3623 Fax: (580) 774-3658 Contact Person: Mr Doug Hale S.a.i.e.p. S.r.l., Manufacturer Via Stalingrado 4/32 17014 Cairo Montenotte - GENOVA - ITALY Phone: 0039 019 506108 Fax: 0039 019 5091323 Contact Person: Mario Daniel Date: 2002-10-29 Trade Name: LIFERAY PRO 1000 Common Name: Automatic Radiographic Film Processor Classification Name: Automatic Radiographic Film Processor Regulation Number: 892.1900 Product Code: IXW #### Predicate Device Additional Substantial Equivalence Information is provided in the following Substantial Equivalence Comparison Table {1}------------------------------------------------ ## · Device Description: Due to the precise roller transport system, both sheet and roller films can be processed. The Automatic film registration is activated immediately when a film is fed in. The transport system starts running. The film material is developed , fixed, rinsed and dried. With the easy to operate micro-processor, the processing conditions can be adjusted to suit the various film and chemical types. The developing solutions are temperatureregulated, circulated and automatically replenished. The feed with of the LifeRay PRO 1000 is 35cm, the smallest film format of the processor is 10x10cm. #### • Intended Use: The Automatic X-Ray Film Processor is intended to be used to process films exposed for medical purposes. The automatic and continuous process contains developing, fixing, washing and dryng of films. #### Summary of Substantial Equivalence Comparison: . The comparison of similarities and differences shows that the new device LifeRay PRO 1000 Automatic Radiographic Film Processor, which is intended to market and the predicate device: - 1. Have the same intended use. - 2. Have the same target user group. - 3. Have the same technological characteristics. There are no new questions about safety and effectiveness. The new device is a safe and effective as the predicate device. The Automatic Radiographic Film Processor is substantially equivalent to the Protec Optimax Automatic X-Ray Film Processor. ### · Technological Characteristics: The photographic processing (developing) technique employed by the Automatic Radiographic Film Processor is the same as the predicate device. The film medium is mechanically transported for immersion in two chemical baths (developer and fixer), is rinsed in water, dried, and then ejected for viewing. The processors use mechanical rollers and guides for transportation, the solutions are temperature-regulated, circulated and automatically replenished, and same additional functions (anti-crystallization cycle, stand-by mode). Both are controlled by an integrated software. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
