K961740 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the KODAK DIGITAL SCIENCE MEDICAL PRINTER INTERFACE UNIT. 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 Kodak Health Imaging Systems, Inc. (Dallas, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 14, 1996 after a review of 195 days - an extended review 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.
