(36 days)
The device is intended for use by a qualified physician for ultrasound evaluation of Fetal, Abdominal (including renal and GYN), Pediatric, Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid), Neonatal Cephalic, Peripheral Vascular, Transrectal, Transvaginal and Intraoperative (abdominal, thoracic & vascular) applications. The device is not indicated for Ophthalmic applications.
The Aloka Prosound 6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a full feature imaging and analysis system. It consist of a mobile console that provides acquisition, processing and display capability. The user interface includes a computer keyboard, specialized controls and a video display.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the Aloka Prosound 6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System, based on the provided document:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The provided 510(k) summary for the Aloka Prosound 6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria or provide specific performance metrics in a table. Instead, it relies on substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
The "reported device performance" is implicitly that it performs as safely and effectively as the predicate device (Aloka SSD-1400 Diagnostic Ultrasound System K972465) for the listed indications for use.
Stated Performance / Equivalence Claims:
- Same Technological Characteristics: The Prosound 6 has the same technological characteristics as the Aloka SSD-1400.
- Key Safety and Effectiveness Features: It possesses the same key safety and effectiveness features as the predicate.
- Physical Design, Construction, Materials: Identical to the predicate device.
- Intended Uses and Basic Operating Modes: Same as the predicate device.
- Conformity to Standards: The device and its transducers "have been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards" (e.g., for acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning & disinfection, EMC, electrical and mechanical safety).
- Quality Systems: Design, development, and quality process conform with 21 CFR 820, ISO 9001:2000, and ISO 13485 quality systems.
Study Information
The provided documentation explicitly states:
- Clinical Tests: None Required.
This indicates that no clinical study, in the traditional sense of evaluating device performance against specific clinical endpoints or acceptance criteria with patient data, was performed or presented for this 510(k) submission.
Therefore, the following points, which would typically describe such a clinical study, are not applicable based on the given information:
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance: Not applicable, no clinical test set.
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: Not applicable, no clinical test set.
- Adjudication method for the test set: Not applicable, no clinical test set.
- If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance: Not applicable. This is an ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool, and no clinical study was performed.
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done: Not applicable. This is an ultrasound system, not an algorithm, and no clinical study was performed.
- The type of ground truth used: Not applicable, no clinical test set.
- The sample size for the training set: Not applicable, as this is a medical device clearance based on substantial equivalence, not an AI model being trained.
- How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.
Summary of Approach:
The Aloka Prosound 6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System gained clearance through the 510(k) pathway by demonstrating substantial equivalence to an already legally marketed predicate device (Aloka SSD-1400). This regulatory pathway often relies heavily on non-clinical testing (such as engineering and safety assessments) and comparison of technical specifications, rather than new clinical trials to establish safety and effectiveness for well-understood device types like diagnostic ultrasound systems.

Dear Mr. Borsai:
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 following transducers intended for use with the Aloka Prosound 6 Diagnostic Ultrasound System, as described in your premarket notification:
Transducer Model Number
| UST-672-5/7.5 | UST-5413 | UST-9124 |
|---|---|---|
| UST-676P | UST-5542 | UST-9127 |
| UST-987-7.5 | UST-5710-7.5 | UST-9133 |

| UST-5045P-3.5 | UST-9123 |
{2}------------------------------------------------
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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html
