Intended Use

The SonoScape S11 device is a general-purpose ultrasonic imaging instrument intended for use by a qualified physician for evaluation of Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid), Cephalic(neonatal and adult), Trans-rectal, Trans-vaginal, Peripheral Vascular, Musculo-skeletal (Conventional and Superficial), Cardiac (neonatal and adult), OB/Gyn and Urology.

Device Description

The SonoScape S11 Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System is an integrated preprogrammed color ultrasound imaging system, capable of producing high detail resolution intended for clinical diagnostic imaging applications. The all digital architecture with progressive dynamic receive focusing allows the system to maximize the utility of all imaging transducers to enhance the diagnostic utility and confidence provided by the system. The exam dependent default setting allows the user to have minimum adjustment for imaging the patient, while the in-depth soft-menu control allows the advanced user to set the system for different situations. The architecture allows cost-effective system integration to a variety of upgrade-able options and features. This SonoScape system is a general purpose, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system. Its basic function is to acquire ultrasound data and display the image in B-Mode (including Tissue Harmonic Image), M-Mode, TDI, Color-Flow Doppler, Pulsed Doppler and Power Doppler, or a combination of these modes, 4D.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary is for a diagnostic ultrasound system, which is a hardware device. These types of submissions typically focus on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device based on technical specifications and adherence to recognized safety standards, rather than clinical performance metrics often associated with AI/ML-enabled devices.

Therefore, many of the requested criteria (acceptance criteria related to clinical performance, specific study types like MRMC, sample sizes for test/training sets, ground truth establishment, or expert qualifications) are not applicable or detailed in this document. The submission asserts substantial equivalence based on comparisons of design, function, and safety characteristics with a predicate device.

Here's a breakdown of what can be extracted and what is not provided based on the input:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not specify quantitative acceptance criteria for device performance in terms of diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, or specificity, as it's an ultrasound hardware device submission focused on substantial equivalence rather than a new clinical claim. Its "performance" is implicitly deemed acceptable if it meets the technical specifications and safety standards, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

The table below summarizes the comparison items where "SE" (Substantially Equivalent) is indicated, implying the proposed device meets the predicate's performance in those aspects.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

The document explicitly states "No clinical testing was required." Therefore, there is no information on sample size for a test set or data provenance related to clinical data. The testing mentioned in Section 7 refers to "Laboratory testing" to verify design specifications and compliance with safety standards, which is not a clinical test set.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable, as no clinical testing or test set requiring ground truth was conducted for this submission.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable, as no clinical testing or test set requiring adjudication was conducted for this submission.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an AI-enabled device designed to assist human readers. No MRMC study was mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a hardware device; it does not perform as a standalone algorithm in the sense of AI/ML.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable, as no clinical testing or test set requiring ground truth was conducted for this submission.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is a hardware device; there is no "training set" in the context of AI/ML algorithms.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this hardware device.
