Intended Use
The Sono TT Ultrasonic Flowcomputer in combination with an ultrasonic clamp-on Transducer is indicated for the contact less volumetric measurement of liquid flowing through tubing systems. The measurement principle is the ultrasound transit-time method. The medical use of the device is appropriate in the following extracorporeal procedures: - Cardio-pulmonary bypass, membrane-oxygenation, hemodialysis, hemofiltration, plasmapheresis - Perfusion, infusion, transfusion - Several shunt-applications The Flowcomputer can be used in intensive care units and operating rooms. For the patient's safety the device is to be operated only by qualified medically-trained personnel.

No
The summary describes a device using the ultrasound transit-time method for flow measurement, which is a standard physical principle, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a flow computer and transducer for measuring liquid flow, not for treating any medical condition. While used in medical procedures, it performs a measurement function rather than a therapeutic one.

No
The device is described as a "Flowcomputer" for the "contact less volumetric measurement of liquid flowing through tubing systems" using the "ultrasound transit-time method" for "extracorporeal procedures". This describes a measurement device, not one for diagnosing a condition or disease in a patient.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Flowcomputer in combination with an ultrasonic clamp-on Transducer," indicating it includes hardware components (the transducer) in addition to the Flowcomputer itself.

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 Sono TT Ultrasonic Flowcomputer measures the volumetric flow of liquid within tubing systems. It does not analyze biological samples from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes extracorporeal procedures where the device is used to monitor fluid flow outside the body in systems like bypass, dialysis, and transfusions.

Therefore, the device's function and intended use fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Sono TT Ultrasonic Flowcomputer in combination with an ultrasonic clamp-on Transducer is indicated for the contact less volumetric measurement of liquid flowing through tubing systems. The measurement principle is the ultrasound transit-time method. The medical use of the device is appropriate in the following extracorporeal procedures: - Cardio-pulmonary bypass, membrane-oxygenation, hemodialysis, hemofiltration, plasmapheresis

  • Perfusion, infusion, transfusion
  • Several shunt-applications

The Flowcomputer can be used in intensive care units and operating rooms. For the patient's safety the device is to be operated only by qualified medically-trained personnel.
Contraindication:
This device has been built and sold only for the intended purpose mentioned above, The supplied measured values serve only to monitor the flow rate of the device in use (e.g. oxygenator, blood pump). These values are not to be used either for an evaluation of a patient's status or for the basis of medical actions without the confirmation of another approved medical measurement procedure. It is the operator's responsibility to use the device as described in the User's Manual and in any of its following revision releases. The use of clinical procedures and techniques lie in the physician's area of responsibility.
