The Sequoia platform is intended for use in the following applications: General Imaging and Cardiology for Fetal, Abdominal, Intraoperative (abdominal and neurological), Pediatrics, Small Organs (breast, testes, thyroid, penis and prostate), Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Cardiac (adult, pediatric, and neonatal), Trans-esophageal, Transrectal, Transvaginal, Peripheral Vessel, and Musculo-sceletal (superficial and conventional) applications, and intended uses as defined in the FDA guidance document. The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes.
The Sequoia system is a multi-purpose diagnostic ultrasound system with accessories and proprietary software, and is substantially equivalent to our current product that is already cleared for USA distribution under the following 510(k) PreMarket Notification number: K051139 (May 13, 2005) cleared as ACUSON Sequoia™ Diagnostic Ultrasound . System. The Sequoia Diagnostic Ultrasound System has been designed to conform to the following product safety standards: UL 2601-1, Safety Requirements for Medical Equipment . CSA C22.2 No. 601-1, Safety Requirements for Medical Equipment . AIUM/NEMA UD-2, 1998, Acoustic Output Measurement Standard for Diagnostic . Ultrasound AIUM/NEMA UD-3, 1998, Standard for Real Time Display of Thermal and . Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices on Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment 93/42/EEC Medical Device Directive . Safety and EMC Requirements for Medical Equipment . . EN 60601-1 · EN 60601-1-1 EN 60601-1-2 . ISO 10993 Biocompatibility . The system's acoustic output is in accordance with ALARA principle (as low as . reasonably achievable)
The provided document is a 510(k) Pre-Market Notification for the ACUSON Sequoia™ Ultrasound System. It primarily outlines the substantial equivalence to a previously cleared device (K051139) and lists the intended uses for various transducers. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria.
The document details the intended uses for a wide range of transducers and clinical applications, stating that these uses were "P=previously cleared by the FDA" under various earlier 510(k) notifications. This indicates that the current submission relies on the prior clearances for its claimed performance.
Therefore, since no new performance study is described in this document, the requested information cannot be provided based on the input text.
Here's a breakdown of why each section cannot be addressed based on the provided text:
- Table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance: Not available. The document is a 510(k) submission primarily establishing substantial equivalence to a predicate device and listing intended uses for transducers already cleared. It does not present new performance data or acceptance criteria in the context of a new study.
- Sample size used for the test set and data provenance: No new test set is described. The document refers to "previously cleared" applications, implying that any testing was conducted for earlier submissions.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and their qualifications: Not applicable, as no new test set with ground truth establishment is described.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable.
- Multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study, including effect size: Not applicable. The document does not describe any MRMC study or AI assistance.
- Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study: Not applicable. This document pertains to an ultrasound system, not an AI algorithm.
- Type of ground truth used: Not applicable, as no new ground truth establishment is described.
- Sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as no AI algorithm or training set is mentioned.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
§ 892.1550 Ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system.
(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.
