Intended Use
The VascuView TAP Ultrasound System with probe Model #HL.7.5/40/64D is intended for diagnostic imaging of the human body for the following clinical applications, as illustrated in the Diagnostic Indications for Use Form which can be found in Attachment 5A: Pediatric, Musculo-skeletal (Conventional), Musculo-skeletal (Superficial), Peripheral Vessels which include Intra-Venous and Perioherally-Inserted Central Catheters, as well as vascular structures and surrounding vascular regions such as nerve bundles and various structures for free hand placement of needles/catheters. The VascuView TAP Ultrasound System is not intended for fetal or ophthalmic applications.
Device Description
The VascuView TAP Ultrasound System is a high-frequency ultrasonic imaging system intended to be used for assisted vascular access of veins and arteries, in addition to other vascular access applications such as the real-time viewing of perigheral vascular structures and their surrounding regions in order to provide quidance for the placement of needles and catheters within these structures. The system software runs on Windows XP Professional Operating System and utilizes features of the Windows interface to direct the operation of the system and maintain patient records; providing a user-friendly environment for clinical applications. The VascuView TAP System consists of the following components: - UL and TUV 60950 Approved Tablet PC with Integrated Outer Enclosure . A Kiosk tablet oc is provided with a UL approved Medical-grade power supply and Medical-grade power cord. The VascuView TAP ultrasound system consists of an integrated carrying handle. probe holder, cord wrap, table stand, and shock absorbent corner bumpers. The pc includes a large 12.1" TFT XGA LCD wide angle display which facilitates an intuitive touch screen control interface with clear-cut functionality and preset settings to ameliorate image optimization. Additionally, the oc provides for the operation of the software, as well as the storage of archived images and video clips. - . Ultrasound Beam-former PCB with 64-element Linear Array Probe The handheld ultrasound probe Model #HL7.5/40/64D and beam-former PCB consists of a sixtyfour element pulsed linear array capable of capturing both images and videos in four different modes of operation: B-Mode, Split Screen Dual B-Mode, Color Doppler (CFM), and B-Mode with Doppler (PWD). The probe is connected to the pc via the included SCSI cable and operates within a frequency range of 5MHz -- 10MHz, which allows for the visualization of surface vessels at scan depths up to 9cm. The transducer material is made of a gold plated polymer membrane and a biocompatible nose cone sufficient for its use (Silicon). - . VascuView TAP System Software All features and controls of the system are provided for in the VascuView TAP software which comes pre-loaded onto the tablet pc. The software uses an icon-based interface whereby the user can select any of the primary functional screens at any time by clicking on an icon located on the screen, for that function. The software enables ultrasound image storage and display, measurement functions, enhancements, and printing. All parameters within the hard-coding of the VascuView TAP software program are fixed, therefore the user cannot make any adjustments to the operation of the transducer that will have an effect on the radiated field (i.e. center frequency, aperture, focus, field of view, sample rate, etc.)
More Information

No
The document explicitly states that "All parameters within the hard-coding of the VascuView TAP software program are fixed," indicating a lack of adaptive or learning capabilities characteristic of AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or training data.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "ultrasonic imaging system intended for diagnostic imaging" and "real-time viewing of peripheral vascular structures...to provide guidance for the placement of needles and catheters." It is not described as providing treatment.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "is intended for diagnostic imaging of the human body." Additionally, the "Device Description" mentions its use for "assisted vascular access of veins and arteries, in addition to other vascular access applications such as the real-time viewing of peripheral vascular structures and their surrounding regions in order to provide guidance for the placement of needles and catheters within these structures," which is a diagnostic application. The "Predicate Device(s)" also list diagnostic ultrasound systems.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components including a Tablet PC, an Ultrasound Beam-former PCB, and a 64-element Linear Array Probe, in addition to the software.

Based on the provided text, the VascuView TAP Ultrasound System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: 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).
  • VascuView TAP Function: The description clearly states that the VascuView TAP Ultrasound System is intended for "diagnostic imaging of the human body" and "transmits ultrasonic energy into patients, then perform post-processing of received echoes to generate on-screen display of anatomic structures within the body." This is a form of in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging.
  • No Mention of Samples: The text does not mention the collection or analysis of any biological samples from the patient.

Therefore, the VascuView TAP Ultrasound System falls under the category of medical imaging devices used for in vivo diagnosis, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

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 VU65000 - VascuView TAP Ultrasound System, as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number

HL7.5/40/64D

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.

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).
