No
The description focuses on hardware components (CPU, sensors, cables) and infrared data transfer, with no mention of AI/ML terms or capabilities. The intended use is a direct measurement, not an interpretation or prediction that would typically involve AI/ML.

No.
The device is used for measurement of range of motion, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device measures range of motion, which is a physiological parameter, but it does not diagnose a disease or condition. While the information gathered may be used in conjunction with other diagnostic tools, the device itself is a measurement tool rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as a monitor CPU, power supply, infrared interface, and sensors connected via cables.

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.
  • Device Function: The sonoSens® measures the range of motion of the body. This is a physical measurement of movement, not an analysis of biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Continuous real-time measurement of range of motion," which aligns with a physical measurement device, not an IVD.
  • Device Description: The description details sensors attached to the skin to measure movement, not components for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the sonoSens® falls under the category of a physical measurement or monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The measuring device consists of a monitor central processing unit (CPU), the power supply, and an infrared interface for data transfer. The device is connected to cight sensors via cables. Each sensor is directly attached to the skin with an adhesive pad.

The friendly sensors sonoSens® requires that eight small sensors be attached to the area of the body being measured using disposable adhesive pads. Low-intensity ultrasound energy is emitted between sensors applied to the sender sensor sends an ultrasonic signal to the receiver sensor). The amount of time that the ultrasonic signal takes to travel from the sending sensor to the receiving sensor is measured by the sonoSens®. The data recorded by the monitor is transferred to the personal computer via an infrared interface. The data may be viewed immediately or stored on the hard disk of the computer for further analysis. The computer software enables the development of graphical displays of the patient range of motion data. The system has a report generator capability that provides reports, including tables, graphs and text.

Basis for Substantial Equivalence

sonoSens® (proposed device): The friendly sensors sonoSens® requires that eight small sensors be attached to the area of the body being measured using disposable adhesive pads. Low-intensity ultrasound energy is emitted between sensors applied to the sender sensor sends an ultrasonic signal to the receiver sensor). The amount of time that the ultrasonic signal takes to travel from the sending sensor to the receiving sensor is measured by the sonoSens®. The data recorded by the monitor is transferred to the personal computer via an infrared interface. The data may be viewed immediately or stored on the hard disk of the computer for further analysis. The computer software enables the development of graphical displays of the patient range of motion data. The system has a report generator capability that provides reports, including tables, graphs and text.

3-D Spine (predicate device): The 3-D Spinc requires that a small passive receiver/sensor be attached to the forehead, using a neoprene head strap, and a second strap be attached at other spinal locations, using double-sided adhesive tape. The relative motion of the two sensors, as detected by the change in the field strength, and orientation of the magnetic field lines, is compared to the resulting angular changes recorded by the monitor. The relative difference in displacement and orientation between the two sensors describes the precise 3-D motion performed by the patient. Data is received by the monitor and displayed on the computer monitor. The data may be viewed immediately or stored on the hard disk of the computer for further analysis. The computer software enables the development of three-dimensional and graphical displays of the patient range of motion data. The system has a report generator capability that provides a flexible or customized report, including tables, graphs and text.

Dualer IQTM Inclinometer and Tracker ROM™ Computerized Dual Inclinometry System (predicate device): The Dualer IQTM Inclinometer and Tracker ROM™ Computerized Dual Inclinometry range of motion measurement system involves the use of two handheld monitors that measure the angles of the patient's range of motion based on gravitational pull. The angle measured The monitors are either held directly on the patient by the shows on a liquid crystal display. practitioner or attached to the patient using straps. The data recorded on the monitors are transferred to a personal computer by plugging the monitors into a central unit, the Tracker ROM™ device. The Tracker ROM™ device functions as an interface between the Dualer IQ™ Inclinometer monitors and the personal computer. The data from the monitors are transferred to a personal computer in which the Tracker ROM™ software is used to provide customized reports of range of motion data.
