Intended Use

The simpleABI is a diagnostic ultrasound system used to aid a physician in obtaining systolic pressure values at the arms and legs to aid in the diagnosis of vascular disease. The system utilizes a handheld Doppler for detecting presence or absence of blood flow. The user, using a handheld aneroid, Doppler, and standard blood pressure cuffs, measures the systolic pressures of the arms and legs. Two additional modalities, Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) and Photoplethysmography (PPG), may optionally provide additional information for the clinician. PVR is a plethysmograph to measure the change in limb volume related to each cardiac pulse. The PPG may be used to obtain toe pressures as an optional method if arterial flow using a Doppler is problematic. The unit will calculate Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), Toe Brachial Index (TBI) or segmental values once the clinician has entered the appropriate pressure values read from the handheld aneroid. Waveforms, pressure values, and index results can be printed directly from the system. Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Peripheral Vascular. The 5MHz, 8MHz, or PPG probes are designed for peripheral vascular applications. The nominal 5MHz probe previously submitted and approved under K090465. The nominal 8MHz probe previously submitted and approved under K090465. The PPG probe is intended for vascular applications to determine blood flow in digits.

Device Description

The simpleABI is a diagnostic ultrasound system. The system consists of a main body and one probe. The system utilizes a handheld Doppler for detecting presence or absence of blood flow. The user, using a handheld aneroid, Doppler, and standard blood pressure cuffs, measures the systolic pressures of the arms and legs. Two additional modalities, Pulse Volume Recording (PVR) and Photoplethysmography (PPG), may optionally provide additional information for the clinician. The unit will calculate Ankle Brachial Index (ABI), Toe Brachial Index (TBI) or segmental values once the clinician has entered the appropriate pressure values read from the handheld aneroid. Waveforms, pressure values, and index results can be printed directly from the system.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The description focuses on standard diagnostic ultrasound, Doppler, PVR, and PPG technologies, with calculations based on user-entered pressure values. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or the specific search terms for AI/ML.

Therapeutic

No
The document consistently states that the device is a "diagnostic ultrasound system" used to "aid in the diagnosis of vascular disease" by obtaining "systolic pressure values" and calculating indices. It does not mention any therapeutic function.

Diagnostic

Yes
The document explicitly states that the simpleABI is a "diagnostic ultrasound system" and is "used to aid a physician in obtaining systolic pressure values at the arms and legs to aid in the diagnosis of vascular disease."

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a "main body and one probe" and utilizes a "handheld Doppler," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided text, 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 simpleABI system uses ultrasound, Doppler, PVR, and PPG to measure physiological parameters (blood flow, pressure, volume changes) directly on the patient's body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

The device is a diagnostic ultrasound system used for non-invasive measurements on the patient's limbs.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 892.1540 Nonfetal ultrasonic monitor.

(a)
Identification. A nonfetal ultrasonic monitor is a device that projects a continuous high-frequency sound wave into body tissue other than a fetus to determine frequency changes (doppler shift) in the reflected wave and is intended for use in the investigation of nonfetal blood flow and other nonfetal body tissues in motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Newman:

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 simpleABI, as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number

5 MHz 8MHz PPG

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 895. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Page 2 - Mr. Newman

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.
