Submitted by Eastman Kodak Company (Mchenry, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on July 14, 1977 after a review of 9 days - a notably fast clearance cycle.

This device falls under the Radiology FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 892.1840 - the FDA radiology and imaging software oversight framework.
