## Intended Use

The ScanX 14 is a device that reads photostimulable phosphor plates that have been exposed in the place of x-ray film and allow those images to be displayed on a CRT and stored for later recovery in a computer memory. It will be used by physicians and authorized medical auxiliary personnel for this purpose.

## Device Story

ScanX 14 is a digital radiography system designed to replace traditional x-ray film. It utilizes photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plates as the image receptor. After x-ray exposure, the device reads the latent image stored on the PSP plate; transforms the signal into a digital format; and displays the image on a CRT monitor for clinical review. The system allows for digital storage and later recovery of radiographic images. It is intended for use by physicians and authorized medical auxiliary personnel in clinical settings. By digitizing the radiographic process, the device facilitates efficient image management, storage, and retrieval, supporting diagnostic workflows.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Stationary x-ray system (21 CFR 892.1680). Utilizes photostimulable phosphor (PSP) plate scanning technology. Outputs digital images for display on CRT and computer storage.

## Regulatory Identification

A stationary x-ray system is a permanently installed diagnostic system intended to generate and control x-rays for examination of various anatomical regions. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A radiographic contrast tray or radiology diagnostic kit intended for use with a stationary x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

## Predicate Devices

- ScanX 12 (formerly ScanX 10) ([K031198](/device/K031198.md))
