AXIOM ARISTOS FX; Multipurpose Radiography System (MPRS) is a dedicated x-ray system with a flat panel detector which allows the acquisition of x-ray exposures without the use of conventional film/screen systems. The MPRS allows radiographic exposures of the whole body including skull, spinal column, chest, abdomen, extremities, and excluding mammography. Radiographic exposures may be taken with the patient in the sitting, standing, or supine positions. The intended use and indications for use of this modified device as described in its labeling have not changed from its predicate device.
