Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The Kodak X-Omat M43A, M43, and Clinic 1 Processors are Automatic Radiographic-Film Processors designed for developing and processing medical X-ray films. These devices utilize chemical processing to transform exposed radiographic film into a visible image, enabling radiologists to interpret diagnostic results. They are classified under Device Class II and fall under the regulatory category for radiographic film processing systems. The processors are engineered to handle standard radiographic film sizes used in radiology imaging.

These processors are intended for use in radiology departments, including hospital satellite units, where compact table-top designs facilitate placement in smaller spaces. Supplied as reusable medical devices, they require proper maintenance and adherence to manufacturer guidelines for optimal performance. The processors are not sterile and must be cleaned and serviced according to the included operator and service manuals. Regulatory clearance under FDA 510(k) (K934350) confirms their substantial equivalence to predicate devices, ensuring compliance with U.S. medical device standards.

Questions

AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

  • What is the Kodak X-Omat M43A used for?

    The Kodak X-Omat M43A is an automatic radiographic-film processor designed to chemically develop and process exposed X-ray films into visible diagnostic images. It is specifically intended for use in radiology departments, including smaller hospital satellite units, where space efficiency is important. The processor transforms latent images on film into interpretable results for radiologists.

  • Are the Kodak X-Omat M43A, M43, and Clinic 1 processors single-use or reusable?

    These processors are reusable medical devices. They are built for repeated use in radiology settings but require regular maintenance, cleaning, and servicing as outlined in the manufacturer’s operator and service manuals. Proper upkeep ensures consistent performance and extends the device’s operational lifespan.

  • What film sizes do the Kodak X-Omat M43A, M43, and Clinic 1 processors handle?

    The processors are engineered to handle standard radiographic film sizes commonly used in radiology imaging. While the exact specifications for each model (M43A, M43, or Clinic 1) are detailed in the manufacturer’s documentation, they are designed to accommodate typical widths and lengths required for diagnostic X-ray films, ensuring compatibility with conventional radiology workflows.

  • Do the Kodak X-Omat processors come sterile, and how should they be stored?

    The Kodak X-Omat M43A, M43, and Clinic 1 processors are not sterile devices. They are reusable and must be cleaned and serviced according to the manufacturer’s guidelines to maintain hygiene and functionality. Storage should follow the instructions provided in the operator manual, typically in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the processor’s components and chemical systems.

  • What regulatory clearance does the Kodak X-Omat M43A processor have in the U.S.?

    The Kodak X-Omat M43A processor holds FDA 510(k) clearance under the reference number K934350, confirming its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. This clearance falls under the regulatory category for radiographic film processing systems (Device Class II) and was granted by the FDA’s Radiology (RA) Advisory Committee in 1994, ensuring compliance with U.S. medical device standards.
