The summary describes a standard ultrasound device with digital processing capabilities but makes no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, interpretation, or other functions.
No
The device is described as a diagnostic ultrasound system used for imaging, measurement, and analysis, not for treatment.
Yes
The "Device Description" explicitly states that the GE Vscan is a "diagnostic ultrasound system," and the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section details its use for "ultrasound imaging, measurement and analysis of the human body" for various clinical applications, all of which fall under the umbrella of diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "compact and portable diagnostic ultrasound system with integrated keyboard, fold-up LCD type display and fixed wired electronic-array transducer," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the GE Vscan is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
- GE Vscan Function: The GE Vscan is an ultrasound system. It uses sound waves to create images of internal organs and structures within the human body. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic method, not in vitro.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "ultrasound imaging, measurement and analysis of the human body". This describes a process performed directly on the patient.
- Device Description: The description details a portable ultrasound system with a transducer, display, and controls, consistent with an imaging device used on a patient.
Therefore, the GE Vscan falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.
(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)

Non-clinical. Tests: The device has been evaluated for acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning and disinfection effectiveness as well as thermal, electrical and mechanical safety, and has been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards.
-
Clinical Tests: None required.
-
Conclusion: Intended uses and other key features are consistent with traditional clinical practice, FDA guidelines, and established methods of patient examination. The design and development process of the manufacturer conforms to 21 CFR 820, ISO 9001 and ISO13485 quality systems. The device conforms to applicable medical device safety standards and compliance is verified through independent evaluation with ongoing factory surveillance. Diagnostic ultrasound has accumulated a long history of safe and effective performance. Therefore, it is the opinion of GE Medical Systems that the GE Vscan Diagnostic Ultrasound is substantially equivalent with respect to safety and effectiveness to devices currently cleared for market.

Dear Mr. Job:
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 GE Vscan-Compact Diagnostic Ultrasound System, as described in your premarket notification:
Transducer Model Number
G3S
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.

Page 2 - Mr. Job
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 (QS) 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 go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.
