Intended Use
When used in conjunction with the CardioQ cardiac output and fluid status monitoring system, the DP240 is designed to provide clinicians with real-time information about left-ventricular blood flow. The DP240 is designed to operate in a clinical setting in which the patients are under general anesthesia or are sedated in the intensive care unit. The DP240 can be placed into the esophagus via oral or nasal insertion in adults.
Device Description
When used in conjunction with the Cardiac output and fluid status monitoring system (K031706), the DP240 is designed to provide clinicians with real-time information about leftventricular function by measuring blood flow in the descending thoracic aorta. The probe is designed to operate in a clinical setting in which patients are under general anesthesia or sedated in the intensive care unit. The DP240 transmits a 4 MHz continuous wave ultrasonic 'carrier' signal from the probe tip at a fixed angle to the descending aorta, by excitation of a piezo-electric transducer. The ultrasound is reflected by the red blood cells and is received by a separate transducer in the probe tip. The DP240 is placed orally or nasally and inserted into the esophagus to a depth of 35 – 45 cm, (approx. 14" - 18") for insonation of the descending thoracic aorta at the 6" thoracic vertebra (approximately). The shaft and tip of the DP240 is the only component in contact with the patient and is manufactured with an outer insulating cover of medical grade silicone rubber. The probe is flexible and has a shaft diameter of 14 French (~4.8 mm, approx. 0.18"). The probe is supplied sterile and is for single-use only in adults.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical operation of the ultrasonic probe and signal transmission/reception. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any data processing techniques that would suggest their use.

No
The device is designed to provide real-time information about left-ventricular blood flow and function by measuring blood flow in the descending thoracic aorta. It is a diagnostic monitoring device, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is designed to provide clinicians with "real-time information about left-ventricular blood flow" and "left-ventricular function by measuring blood flow." Obtaining information about blood flow and function to identify a medical condition is a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly details a physical probe with transducers, a shaft, and a tip that is inserted into the patient. This indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the DP240 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.
  • DP240 Function: The DP240 is an in vivo device. It is inserted into the esophagus to measure blood flow in the descending thoracic aorta using ultrasound. This is a direct measurement within the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes providing "real-time information about left-ventricular blood flow" and "left-ventricular function by measuring blood flow in the descending thoracic aorta." This is a physiological measurement, not a diagnostic test on a biological sample.

Therefore, the DP240 falls under the category of a medical device used for monitoring physiological parameters, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
