K003238 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the SOLID STATE X-RAY IMAGING DEVICES. Classified as Solid State X-ray Imager (flat Panel/digital Imager) (product code MQB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Cares Built, Inc. (Keyport, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 1, 2001 after a review of 349 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1680 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Radiology review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
