K051521 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the REGIUS RS-1000, MEDICAL IMAGE PROCESSING WORKSTATION. Classified as System, Image Processing, Radiological within the LLZ classification (a category encompassing advanced image processing and PACS-adjacent software), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Konica Minolta Medical & Graphic, Inc. (Watarai-Gun, Mie-Ken, JP). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on June 28, 2005 after a review of 20 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.2050 - 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: Incremental AI imaging tool. Moderate equivalence dependency. Overall, this clearance reflects a predicate-aligned approval typical of modern AI radiology extensions - not a novel clinical breakthrough, but a validated iteration within an established regulatory category.
