FDA Clearance Information

Pathway 510K
Decision Date September 29, 1998
Product Code OWB
Device Class Class 2
Evidence 419 studies

The Philips OmniDiagnost was cleared through the FDA 510k pathway on September 29, 1998. Manufactured by Philips Medical Systems, it is classified as a Class 2 device under product code OWB.

What It Is

The Philips OmniDiagnost is a versatile imaging system designed for both radiographic and fluoroscopic examinations. It integrates advanced imaging technology to provide high-quality digital images, aiding in the accurate assessment of various medical conditions. The device is equipped with software that enhances image precision, making it a valuable tool in diagnostic radiology.

Clinical Applications

This device is commonly used in orthopedic settings for evaluating bone alignment, joint integrity, and other musculoskeletal conditions. It is also employed in interventional radiology for procedures requiring real-time imaging guidance. The OmniDiagnost is suitable for use in hospitals and specialized imaging centers, catering to a wide range of patient demographics.

Indications for Use

The FDA indications suggest that the OmniDiagnost is intended for use in procedures involving liquid embolization agents, which are typically used to block blood flow to certain areas, such as tumors or vascular malformations. It is particularly useful in procedures requiring precise imaging guidance.

Practical Considerations

The OmniDiagnost system is compatible with various imaging software and can be integrated into existing radiology workflows. Clinicians should ensure proper calibration and maintenance to achieve optimal image quality. The device's versatility allows for adaptation to different procedural needs, making it a flexible choice for imaging departments.

Related Literature

The linked study compared manual and computer-aided measurements of lower limb alignment using digital radiograms. It found that computer-aided measurements provided more consistent and accurate results compared to manual methods. However, the study was limited by its focus on a specific anatomical area and did not explore other potential applications of the imaging software.
