Intended Use
Intended to be used by or under the direction of a physician and in conjunction with a standard ultrasound system to provide 3D and Multi-planar clinical imaging in fetal and gynecological applications. SONOReal™ is intended to visualize features that the user may wish to examine more closely in routine 2D ultrasound diagnostic imaging examinations. The user is offered the capability to perform linear, area and volumetric measurements of the subject being scanned. SONOReal™ does not provide any diagnostic interpretations.
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, Segmentation of structures from 3D data, and Measurement and calculations Via this submission.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard 3D rendering and image processing techniques, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms.

No
The device is intended for clinical imaging and visualization, and explicitly states it "does not provide any diagnostic interpretations" and is used in conjunction with a standard ultrasound system, which are diagnostic tools, not therapeutic.

No

The document explicitly states, "SONOReal™ does not provide any diagnostic interpretations." While it aids in visualization and measurement, it does not offer diagnoses.

No

The device description explicitly states that the hardware includes a Pentium III 833 MHz, Frame Grabber, Video out, and Handheld controller, indicating it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that this device is used in conjunction with a standard ultrasound system to provide imaging of the subject being scanned (fetal and gynecological applications). This involves imaging the body directly, not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • The device processes imaging data, not biological samples. The description focuses on acquiring, processing, and visualizing ultrasound data. There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological specimen.
  • The device provides imaging and measurements, not diagnostic interpretations based on biological markers. While it aids in visualizing features and performing measurements, it explicitly states that it "does not provide any diagnostic interpretations." IVDs are typically used to provide information that contributes to a diagnosis based on the analysis of biological samples.

In summary, this device is an imaging system accessory that enhances the capabilities of a standard ultrasound system for in-vivo imaging, not an in-vitro diagnostic device used for analyzing biological specimens.

§ 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.
