VivoSonic™ will be used during invasive medical diagnostic ultrasound imaging to couple sound waves between patient and medical imaging electronics and to lubricate the insertion and passage of imaging devices, such as ultrasound transducers and endoscopes.

VivoSonic™ is intended for use in conjunction with transcutaneous ultrasound image guided biopsy and aspiration, intraoperative ultrasound imaging, endocavity ultrasound imaging and opthalmic ultrasound imaging.

VivoSonic™ is unit dose packaged, sterilized and intended for use in all diagnostic ultrasound procedures which currently use and ultrasound coupling gel or fluid alone or in combination with a latex, non-latex, polyurethane or polyethylene transducer cover where sterility and/or in vivo biocompatibility are required.

Device Description

VivoSonic™ is an in vivo biocompatible sterile ultrasound couplant and lubricant that couples or conducts ultrasound between the body and the ultrasound transducer and electronics.

The VivoSonic™ formulation is in vivo biocompatible with tissue and body fluids and is recognized as safe for oral administration (1)

Dear Mr. Bonner:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.
