Intended for digital image capture use in general radiographic examinations, wherever conventional screen-film systems may be used, excluding fluoroscopy, angiography and mammography. The kit allows imaging of the skull, chest, shoulders, spine, abdomen, pelvis, and extremities.
Device Story
PRIMO S is an image acquisition and processing software application for flat panel detectors used with Sedecal X-ray equipment (mobile or fixed). It manages patient data (manual entry or DICOM Worklist), controls X-ray exposure parameters via DLL modules, and performs image processing, stitching, and optimization. The system is operated by clinicians in clinical settings. It provides a GUI for system status monitoring and examination selection. Output includes diagnostic images stored locally or exported via DICOM services (Store, Print, CDROM, MPPS, RDSR, Storage Commitment) or USB. The device benefits patients by enabling digital radiographic imaging with integrated workflow management and automated image processing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, risk analysis, and adherence to recognized standards (IEC 62304, EN/IEC 62366-1, ISO 14971, NEMA PS 3.1-3.20).
Technological Characteristics
Software application for digital radiography. Operates on Windows 10. Integrates with Sedecal X-ray generators (SFHR/SHF series) and various flat panel detectors (Canon/Toshiba, iRay). Connectivity via DICOM (Store, Print, CDROM, MPPS, RDSR, Storage Commitment). Complies with IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), ISO 14971 (risk management), and NEMA DICOM standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for digital image capture in general radiographic examinations (skull, chest, shoulders, spine, abdomen, pelvis, extremities) where conventional screen-film systems are used. Excludes fluoroscopy, angiography, and mammography.

Dear Mr. Kamm:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

The software has been validated with Sedecal diagnostic x-ray generators. Compatible Sedecal generators: SFHR and SHF Series.
In recognition of possible cybersecurity threats to the software, we consulted this guidance: Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff. As a result, we updated our own internal standard operating procedures and added cybersecurity precautions to the software user manual. Software validation was conducted according to the FDA document: Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices.
The User Manual contains pediatric and cybersecurity considerations. Each system is tested for proper integration prior to shipment to the end customer. Since multiple configurations are available (generator and panel models), service engineers fully test each new system upon installation at the customer site.
6. Clinical testing. Not required for a determination of substantial equivalence.
# 7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion.
The PRIMO S performs the same functions as the predicate using the same technological methods to produce and store diagnostic x-ray images. In all material aspects, the Sedecal and the A.T.S. APPLICAZIONE TECNOLOGIE SPECIALI S.R.L. devices are substantially equivalent to each other.
# 8. Substantial Equivalence Conclusion:
After analyzing bench test results, risk analysis, and standards compliance, it is the conclusion of A.T.S. APPLICAZIONE TECNOLOGIE SPECIALI S.R.L.. that the PRIMO S series of upgrade kits are as safe and effective as the predicate device, has few technological differences, and has the same indications for use, thus rendering it substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
