No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on its function as a couplant for ultrasound imaging, not on data processing or analysis.

No
The device, UltraBio, is described as a sterile couplant for medical imaging (ultrasound) to facilitate sound wave transmission, not to provide therapy. Its intended use focuses on diagnostic procedures.

No
The device is a couplant for medical imaging, specifically ultrasound. It facilitates the sound waves between the patient and medical imaging equipment but does not itself provide a diagnosis.

No

The device is described as a sterile couplant, which is a physical substance used to facilitate ultrasound transmission. This is a hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that UltraBio is a "sterile couplant" used to "couple sound waves between the patient and medical imaging electronic transducers" during various ultrasound procedures. This describes a device used on the patient for imaging, not a device used to test samples from the patient in a laboratory setting.
  • Nature of the Device: The description focuses on the physical properties of the couplant (biocompatible, bioexcretable, sterile) and its function in transmitting sound waves. This is consistent with a medical device used externally or internally for imaging, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, UltraBio is a medical device used in conjunction with ultrasound imaging, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

UltraBio, as an in vivo biocompatible and bioexcretable sterile couplant, is intended to replace other in vivo biocompatible and bioexcretable, but not sterilized transcutaneous acoustic coupling gels or similar sterile applications.

UltraBio will be used to couple sound waves between the patient and medical imaging electronic transducers during intraoperative and intracavity ultrasound imaging, biopsy and aspiration, intraoperative ultrasound imaging, and intracavity ultrasound imaging.

UltraBio is unit dose packaged, sterilized and intended for use in all diagnostic ultrasound procedures that currently use an ultrasound coupling gel alone or in combination with a latex, and in which biocompatibility and bioelimination are required.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II.
