Intended Use
The Cook Vascular Blood Flow Monitor - Model DP-M350 is intended for monitoring blood flow in vessels intraoperatively, and following micro-vascular procedures, re-implantation, and free-flap transfers. The Swartz Doppler Flow Probe is supplied sterile and is intended for one-time use.
Device Description
The proposed device is monitor unit that generates a (20 MHz) signal and conducts it to an attached probe that contains a piezo-electric crystal which transmits and then receives Doppler frequency sound waves. The returning signal is amplified and projected via the proposed monitoring unit as an audible output. The monitor unit has two input channels and also provides an adjunct visible (LED) indicator that is used as a complimentary information source to the primary audible indicator. The predicate device was submitted as a system, the proposed device is only the monitoring unit.
More Information

Not Found

Not Found

No
The device description details a standard Doppler monitor that amplifies and outputs an audible signal based on frequency shifts, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for signal processing, interpretation, or decision-making. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section also explicitly states "Not Found".

No.
The device is used for monitoring blood flow, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The device monitors blood flow and provides an audible and visual output to the user. This information helps the user assess the state of blood flow, which contributes to determining a medical condition following procedures, thus making it a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "monitor unit" that generates a signal, has input channels, and provides audible and visible output. It also mentions hardware testing like electrical safety, battery testing, EMC testing, shock/vibration testing, mechanical validation, and packaging testing, all indicative of a physical hardware device. While it includes "Software Validation," this is validation of the software component within the hardware device, not a standalone software device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Cook Vascular Blood Flow Monitor - Model DP-M350 is described as a device that monitors blood flow in vessels intraoperatively. This means it is used directly on the patient's body during surgery or procedures, not on a sample taken from the body.
  • Input: The input is Doppler frequency sound waves, which are applied externally or directly to the vessel, not to a biological sample.
  • Output: The output is an audible signal and a visible LED indicator, providing real-time information about blood flow within the body.

Therefore, the device's function and method of operation clearly fall outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Device:

Cook Vascular, Inc. Blood Flow Monitor - Model DP-M350 Trade name: Cardiovascular Blood Flow Meter, 870.2100 Proposed Classification:

Predicate Devices:

The Cook Vascular, Inc. Blood Flow Monitor - Model DP-M350 is the same in terms of intended use, materials of construction and technology characteristics to the predicate devices that have been found substantially equivalent.

Device Description:

The proposed device is monitor unit that generates a (20 MHz) signal and conducts it to an attached probe that contains a piezo-electric crystal which transmits and then receives Doppler frequency sound waves. The returning signal is amplified and projected via the proposed monitoring unit as an audible output. The monitor unit has two input channels and also provides an adjunct visible (LED) indicator that is used as a complimentary information source to the primary audible indicator. The predicate device was submitted as a system, the proposed device is only the monitoring unit.

Substantial Equivalence:

This device will be manufactured to specified process controls and a Quality Assurance program. This device will undergo validated packaging operations indicative of devices currently manufactured by Cook Vascular. Being the same as the predicate devices in respect to indication for use and no changes in the fundamental scientific technology, this device meets the requirements for section 510(k) substantial equivalence. It is to be noted that this change is the roquitements or evil be used with the currently marketed Cook- Swartz Doppler Flow Probes.

The only changes to the device are an added visual display, software controls for visual indicator, on/off switch, channel selector and volume. Additionally a chargeable battery system has been added.
