More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard Doppler ultrasound probe and system, with no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced processing beyond basic signal detection.

No
The device is used to detect fetal heart tones and aid in determining fetal viability, which are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

Yes
The device is identified as being used to "detect fetal heart tones transvaginally as an aid for determining fetal viability," which indicates it is used to gather information for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly mentions "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging...".

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "interchangeable transvaginal Doppler probe," which is a hardware component.

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. They are used outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The EchoHeart Transvaginal Doppler uses ultrasound technology to detect fetal heart tones within the body, specifically transvaginally. It is a diagnostic imaging device, not a test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "detect fetal heart tones transvaginally as an aid for determining fetal viability." This is a direct assessment of a physiological process within the body.

Therefore, the EchoHeart Transvaginal Doppler falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnostic imaging, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 884.2660 Fetal ultrasonic monitor and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A fetal ultrasonic monitor is a device designed to transmit and receive ultrasonic energy into and from the pregnant woman, usually by means of continuous wave (doppler) echoscopy. The device is used to represent some physiological condition or characteristic in a measured value over a period of time (e.g., perinatal monitoring during labor) or in an immediately perceptible form (e.g., use of the ultrasonic stethoscope). This generic type of device may include the following accessories: signal analysis and display equipment, electronic interfaces for other equipment, patient and equipment supports, and component parts. This generic type of device does not include devices used to image some relatively unchanging physiological structure or interpret a physiological condition, but does include devices which may be set to alarm automatically at a predetermined threshold value.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

Re: K060410

Trade Name: EchoHeart Transvaginal Doppler Probe Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.2660 Regulation Name: Fetal ultrasonic monitor and accessories Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1570 Regulation Name: Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer Regulatory Class: II Product Code: HEK and ITX Dated: February 10, 2006 Received: February 16, 2006

Dear Mr. Jarrell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the EchoHeart Transyaginal Doppler Probe used with the LifeDop Doppler Ultrasound System, as described in your premarket notification.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21

CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This determination of substantial equivalence is granted on the condition that prior to shipping the first device, you submit a postclearance special report. This report should contain complete information, including acoustic output measurements based on production line devices, requested in Appendix G, (enclosed) of the Center's September 30, 1997 "Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers." If the special report is incomplete or contains unacceptable values (e.g., acoustic output greater than approved levels), then the 510(k) clearance may not apply to the production units which as a result may be considered adulterated or misbranded.

The special report should reference the manufacturer's 510(k) number. It should be clearly and prominently marked "ADD-TO-FILE" and should be submitted in duplicate to:

Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health Document Mail Center (HFZ-401) 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville, Maryland 20850

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus permits your device to proceed to market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html
