Intended Use
The Site~Rite IV Ultrasound System with associated probes and accessories provide ultrasound imaging of vascular structures, various organs, and structures of the body. Ultrasound guidance for placement of needles and catheters in these structures or organs may also be performed. The ultrasound guidance may occur either intraoperatively or percutaneously. The Site~Rite IV Ultrasound System is not intended for ophthalmic applications.
Device Description
The Site-Rite IV pulsed echo ultrasound system is a lightweight, lowoutput, portable, real-time, B-mode, ultrasound scanner designed primarily to assist clinicians in gaining vascular access to major veins, arteries and organs. It is a unique scanner that offers high resolution imaging to the depth of 18 cm. Site-Rite is portable and thus easy to use at the bedside and in a variety of clinical settings: intensive care units, emergency rooms, operating rooms, angiography suites, catheterization laboratories, etc. The Site-Rite IV ultrasound scanner can be operated on battery or AC power. It utilizes only proprietary probes manufactured and currently marketed by Dymax, with frequencies ranging from 3.5 MHz to 9.0 MHz. Image depth depends on the choice of probe and ranges from a minimum of 0.5 cm with the 9.0 MHz probe to a maximum of 18 cm with the 3.5 MHz probe. The disposable items, supplied in sterile packs, are currently marketed products.
More Information

No
The document describes standard ultrasound technology and image processing algorithms, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is an ultrasound imaging system used to guide needle and catheter placement, which is a diagnostic and procedural aid, not a device that directly performs therapy.

No

The device is primarily described as an ultrasound system intended to assist clinicians in gaining vascular access and guiding the placement of needles and catheters. While it provides imaging of internal structures, its stated purpose is primarily for guidance and access, not for diagnosing conditions or diseases based on the images.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pulsed echo ultrasound system" and mentions hardware components like "probes" and operation on "battery or AC power." This indicates it is a hardware device with associated software, not a software-only medical device.

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. They are used to examine these samples outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Site~Rite IV Ultrasound System is an imaging device that uses ultrasound waves to visualize structures within the body in real-time. It is used for guidance during procedures performed on the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it provides "ultrasound imaging of vascular structures, various organs, and structures of the body" and "Ultrasound guidance for placement of needles and catheters in these structures or organs". This is an in-vivo application, not an in-vitro test.

The device is a medical imaging system used for diagnostic and procedural guidance on a living patient, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.
