Intended Use

The Humanscan M5S-D is phased array ultrasound transducer, for the GE Vivid E9 Ultrasound System, and indicated primarily for ultrasonic evaluation of cardiology conditions. It is also indicated for evaluation of fetal/obstetrics, abdominal, pediatric, adult cephalic, and urology/prostate use.

Device Description

The Cardiac Ultrasound Transducer (M5S-D) is a matrix array probe with 192 elements for GE's ultrasound diagnostic system, Vivid E 9.

AI/ML Overview

The information provided is for the Humanscan M5S-D Transducer for use with the GE Vivid E9 Ultrasound System. This submission is a 510(k) premarket notification, which largely relies on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, rather than extensive de novo clinical studies with acceptance criteria and performance metrics typically seen for novel devices.

Here's an analysis based on the provided document:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The submission does not provide specific quantitative acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in the format of a table as typically seen for new diagnostic algorithms. Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to an existing predicate device, the GE Vivid E9 M5S-D transducer.

The "acceptance criteria" in this context are primarily related to safety and functionality, ensuring the new device performs equivalently to the predicate. The reported "performance" is that it conforms to these safety and functional standards and is substantially equivalent.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Implicit/Explicit)Reported Device Performance
SafetyConformity with applicable medical device safety standards (acoustic output, disinfection effectiveness, biocompatibility, cleaning, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal, electrical, and mechanical safety). Limits are same as predicate."The Humanscan M5S-D was evaluated, by GE, for acoustic output, disinfection effectiveness, biocompatibility, cleaning a and electromagnetic compatibility, as well as thermal, electrical and mechanical safety, and has been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards. The limits are the same as the predicate Track 3 devices."
Intended UseThe intended use and clinical applications should be consistent with the predicate device."The Humanscan M5S-D is a phased array ultrasound transducer... and is indicated primarily for ultrasonic evaluation of cardiology conditions and also for evaluation of fetal/obstetrics, abdominal, pediatric, adult cephalic and urology/prostate use." This matches the predicate's indications.
Technical EquivalenceThe device is "identical to the GE, Vivid E9, M5S-D transducer and is, in fact, manufactured for GE by Humanscan Company, Ltd."The device is explicitly stated to be identical to the predicate.
ClassificationConsistent with the predicate device (Class II, Product Code ITX)."Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1570, Regulation Name: Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer, Regulatory Class: II, Product Code: ITX" - This matches the predicate's classification.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The provided document does not describe a test set with a specific sample size for evaluating performance metrics through a clinical study. The evaluation appears to be primarily technical and engineering-based, focusing on safety and equivalence to the predicate transducer. There is no mention of patient data, retrospective or prospective studies, or country of origin for a "test set."

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications

This information is not provided because the submission does not detail a study involving expert-established ground truth for a test set. The evaluation is focused on technical specifications and substantial equivalence, not on diagnostic accuracy requiring human expert adjudication.

4. Adjudication Method

No adjudication method is described as there is no mention of a test set requiring expert review or ground truth establishment in this type of 510(k) submission.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done or mentioned. This type of study typically assesses the impact of AI on human reader performance, which is not applicable to an ultrasound transducer as described here, especially in a 510(k) submission demonstrating substantial equivalence.

6. Standalone Performance Study

No standalone performance study (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done or mentioned. The device is a transducer, which is a component of an ultrasound system and requires a human operator for its intended use.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

No specific "ground truth" (e.g., pathology, outcomes data) as understood in the context of diagnostic accuracy studies is mentioned. The ground for acceptance is primarily the technical specifications and safety standards aligned with the predicate device, confirmed through non-clinical tests. The "ground truth" is that the device is manufactured to the same specifications and meets the same safety profiles as the predicate.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

No training set is mentioned as this is an ultrasound transducer, not an AI algorithm requiring training data.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable, as there is no training set mentioned.

Dear Mr. Allsebrook:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent ffor the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the Humanscan M5S-D Ultrasound Transducer, as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number

M5S-D

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
