Intended Use
The SonoTT FlowLab® with the accessories is a system to measure the flow rate of liquids (e.g. blood) with the ultrasonic transit-time and velocity patterns of blood with Doppler method. It supports the planning, implementation, efficiency control and documentation of interventions carried out in the area of cardiovascular, vascular and, transplantation, or the monitoring of extracorporeal circulatory systems. The following medical applications are supported: - Intraoperative blood flow measurement with the SonoTT Vascular Probe to assist e surgeons at surgical interventions - Measurement of flow direction and velocities of blood in vessels using the SonoTT Pulse . Wave Doppler Probe to assist the surgeon in the non-invasive assessment of vascular changes. - Extracorporeal flow measurement in continuous operation on tube systems in . combination with the SonoTT Clamp-On Transducer in intensive care units and operating theatres The following actions can be performed simultaneously when these measurements are in progress: - Pressure measurement in combination with a standard blood pressure transducer t - Secondary displays of additional physiological analogue signals and corresponding . derived parameters The SonoTT Vascular Probe is intended for transient use only with continuous contact with patient of less than 60 minutes.
Device Description
The SonoTT FlowLab® is used for the volumetric measurement of liquid flowing through tubing systems (in combination with the SonoTT Clamp-On Transducer), to measure blood volume flow (in combination with the SonoTT Vascular Probe) and flow velocity in arteries and veins (in combination with the SonoTT Pulse Wave Doppler Probe). The measurement principle is the ultrasound transit-time and Doppler method.

No
The document describes standard ultrasound transit-time and Doppler methods for flow measurement and does not mention AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a system to measure flow rate and velocity patterns, and to support planning, implementation, control, and documentation. It does not perform any direct therapeutic action on the patient.

Yes

The device is described as measuring flow rate and velocity patterns of blood, supporting the assessment of vascular changes, and assisting surgeons in planning and controlling interventions related to cardiovascular and vascular systems. This information gathering is characteristic of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly mentions "accessories" and "probes" (SonoTT Vascular Probe, SonoTT Pulse Wave Doppler Probe, SonoTT Clamp-On Transducer) which are hardware components used for measurement. The testing section also includes hardware-related tests like Electrical Safety, EMC, Ultrasonic acoustic output, Mechanical Stability, Biocompatibility, and Sterility.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This examination is performed outside the living body.
  • SonoTT FlowLab® Function: The SonoTT FlowLab® measures the flow rate and velocity of liquids (specifically blood) within the body (intraoperatively in vessels) or in extracorporeal circulatory systems. It uses ultrasound technology applied directly to the patient or the tubing system.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes supporting surgical interventions, assessing vascular changes, and monitoring extracorporeal systems. These are all applications involving measurements taken directly from or in close proximity to the patient's circulatory system, not from a collected specimen.

The device is a medical device that performs measurements in vivo (within the body) or on extracorporeal systems, which falls outside the scope of IVD devices.
