The description focuses on hardware miniaturization and standard ultrasound software functions, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is used for assessment and imaging, not for treating or curing a medical condition.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for use in the episodic assessment of cardiac function using transesophageal echocardiography," which describes a diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly lists three main components, two of which are hardware: an Ultrasound Machine and an Ultrasound Probe. While software is a component, it is not the sole component of the medical device system.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
- ImaCor Zura TEE System Function: The ImaCor Zura TEE System uses transesophageal echocardiography (ultrasound) to assess cardiac function directly within the patient's body. It involves inserting a probe into the esophagus to obtain images of the heart. This is an in vivo procedure, not an in vitro test.
The description clearly indicates that the device is used for imaging the heart within the patient, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic.

Device Description
The ImaCor TEE System consists of three main components:
-
- Ultrasound Machine: A TFE predicate device optimized for use with ImaCor miniaturized probe,
- Ultrasound Probe ( The "Blue Probe"): 2. A miniaturized TEE probe optimized for longer dwell time relative to standard TEE probes enables use in longer term clinical settings such as the ICU. The probe distal tip is flexed upward transiently to obtain standard TEE images.
-
- Ultrasound Imaging Software: The software controls standard ultrasound machine functions such as imaging, recording and measuring. Continuous imaging is limited by a 20 minute software interlock should the operator mistakenly leave the machine in continuous imaging mode, thus limiting the potential unintentional exposure of the patient's mucosal tissue to acoustic energy. Maximum probe face temperature is limited according to FDA consensus standard IEC 60601-2-37.
