Intended Use
ULTRAEKOGEL™ is an electroconductive gel media used with ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system. The gel -once applied on the defined area of the body- facilitates the intended use of the system, which is 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.

It is supplied in 250 grams and 5 Kilograms containers with a 3-year shelf life.
More Information

No
The device is an electroconductive gel, which is a passive component used with an ultrasound system. The description focuses on the physical properties and function of the gel, not on any data processing or algorithmic capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

No.
The device description and intended use clearly state that ULTRAEKOGEL™ facilitates the use of an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system to determine the depth or location of tissue interfaces. This is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device, ULTRAEKOGEL™, is an electroconductive gel media that facilitates an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system. It is a consumable accessory for a diagnostic system, not a diagnostic device itself.

No

The device is a gel, which is a physical substance, not software. The description clearly states it is an "electroconductive gel media".

Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • ULTRAEKOGEL™'s Function: ULTRAEKOGEL™ is described as an electroconductive gel media used with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system. Its purpose is to facilitate the transmission of sound waves into the body and the reception of the echoes. It is applied to the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system (which the gel facilitates) is used to project sound beams into body tissue to determine depth, location, and measure pulse duration. This is an in vivo (within the living body) process.

The gel is a necessary component for the proper functioning of the ultrasonic imaging system, which is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
