Device Description
The Signostics Pty Ltd Speq ultrasound system is a hand-held, diagnostic ultrasound system with an on-screen display. Its purpose is to acquire ultrasound echo data and display it in B-Mode or M-Mode on an LCD display.
More Information

No
The summary describes a standard ultrasound system with basic imaging modes (B-Mode, M-Mode) and image processing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic ultrasound system" and its purpose is to "acquire ultrasound echo data and display it...on-screen images of anatomic structures." There is no mention of treating or alleviating any medical condition.

Yes

Explanation: The "Device Description" explicitly states that the Speq ultrasound system is a "hand-held, diagnostic ultrasound system." Its purpose of acquiring ultrasound echo data and displaying it to produce images of anatomic structures within the body also aligns with the definition of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, diagnostic ultrasound system" and mentions acquiring "ultrasound echo data," which indicates the presence of hardware components (transducer, processing unit, display) beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the Speq ultrasound system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "non-invasive imaging of the human body". IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on acquiring and displaying ultrasound echo data to create images of internal structures. This is a diagnostic imaging device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • No mention of analyzing biological samples: The entire description revolves around imaging the body directly, not analyzing any samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Speq ultrasound system falls under the category of a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Speq ultrasound system is for non-invasive imaging of the human body and is intended for the following applications: Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Musculo-skeletal, Cardiac and Peripheral Vessel. Users must have ultrasound training before using the device. See the attached Indications for Use form for specific imaging modes and applications.

The following warnings apply:

Warning: Use in B-mode is not indicated where body structures are in rapid motion.

Warning: Use in B-mode is not indicated where the application of pressure on the transducer will displace the tissue of interest.

Warning: Use in B-mode is not indicated for catheter or needle placement where the real-time visualization of the structure of interest and needle is required.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Basis for Substantial Equivalence 9.

Signostics Pty Ltd believes the Speq ultrasound system described in this Submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices as follows:

The Speq ultrasound system is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above. All systems transmit ultrasonic energy into patients, then process received echoes to produce on-screen images of anatomic structures within the body. All systems allow for measurements of structures to aid in diagnosis.

Dear Dr. Hottinger:

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 Speq Ultrasound System, as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number

3.5 MHz (P03010) 7.5 MHz (P03011)

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.

4

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 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
