Intended Use
Intended to be used by or under the direction of a physician and in conjunction with standard ultrasound system to provide 3D clinical imaging in fetal and gynecological applications. The SONOReal™ system does not currently provide any quantitative measurement capabilities or diagnostic interpretations. It is intended to visualize features that you may wish to examine more closely in routine 2D ultrasound diagnostic imaging examinations.
Device Description
Adds 3D imaging capability to commercial 2D ultrasound imaging systems. Hardware includes Pentium III 833 MHz, Frame Grabber (VHS/S-VHS Input), Video out, and Handheld controller. Software features include Volume data acquisition w/frame grabbing of video data b/w while using a Gyroscopic sensor system, Conditioning & transformation of the acquired data into a Cartesian volume, Surface rendering, and Segmentation of structures from 3D data.
More Information

None

No
The description focuses on standard 3D rendering and segmentation techniques, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities.

No

The device is described as providing 3D clinical imaging for visualization purposes, not for treating conditions or ailments. It is used in conjunction with standard ultrasound systems for diagnostic imaging examinations.

No

The Intended Use/Indications for Use states that "The SONOReal™ system does not currently provide any quantitative measurement capabilities or diagnostic interpretations." It is intended to visualize features for closer examination in routine 2D ultrasound diagnostic imaging examinations, not to perform diagnostics itself.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (Pentium III, Frame Grabber, Video out, Handheld controller) as part of the system.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The SONOReal™ system is an add-on to a standard ultrasound system. It processes and visualizes ultrasound data to create 3D images. It does not analyze biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for providing 3D clinical imaging in conjunction with ultrasound and does not provide quantitative measurements or diagnostic interpretations. It's a visualization tool for features already seen in 2D ultrasound.

Therefore, the SONOReal™ system falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
