The AXT 150M and/or its variations is accurate to control the x-ray beam for use on a diagnostic imaging equipment. The intended market will consist of Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), as a component designed to be adapted to various x-ray systems. ## Device Story AXT 150M is a manual collimator designed for integration into diagnostic x-ray systems. Operated by licensed MDs or RTs, the device mechanically restricts and shapes the x-ray beam to the area of clinical interest, reducing patient exposure to unnecessary radiation. It serves as a component for OEM x-ray equipment. By precisely defining the beam geometry, it improves image quality and minimizes scatter radiation, directly benefiting the patient through reduced radiation dose during diagnostic imaging procedures. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Manual x-ray beam collimator; mechanical assembly for beam restriction; intended for integration into diagnostic x-ray systems; class II device (21 CFR 892.1610). ## Regulatory Identification A diagnostic x-ray beam-limiting device is a device such as a collimator, a cone, or an aperture intended to restrict the dimensions of a diagnostic x-ray field by limiting the size of the primary x-ray beam. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9. ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

President Applied X-Ray Technologies, Inc. 2727 West 92nd Avenue, Suite 10 Denver, CO 80221 Re: K972966 AXT 150M (Manual Collimator) Dated: August 8, 1997 Received: August 11, 1997 Regulatory class: II 21 CFR 892.1610/Procode: 90 IZX Dear Mr. Thomas: 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 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 yitro 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.
