510(k) Predicate Finder
Find potential predicate devices for your 510(k) submission. Enter a K-number to find all clearances with the same product code, a three-letter product code to browse clearances directly, or search by device name.

Radiology
The Medical Image Analyzer is a radiology device that uses software algorithms to analyze medical images (such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI images) and provide interpretive or quantitative outputs to assist clinicians in diagnosis. This device was reclassified to Class 2 as documented in a Federal Register notice from January 2020. Classified as FDA Class 2, it requires 510(k) premarket clearance under regulation 892.2070 (Radiology specialty).

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
