No
The summary describes a standard therapeutic ultrasound device with basic controls and displays. There is no mention of any features or functionalities that would suggest the use of AI or ML for image processing, data analysis, or treatment optimization. The performance studies focus on electrical and safety standards, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly lists therapeutic benefits such as "Pain relief," "Reduction of muscle spasms," and "Increase range of motion of contracted joints."

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section lists therapeutic applications such as pain relief and increased blood flow, but no diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components like transducers, a membrane panel, and a display, and the performance studies reference IEC standards for electrical medical equipment, indicating it is a physical device with embedded software, not a standalone software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all therapeutic applications of ultrasound (pain relief, muscle spasm reduction, increased blood flow, increased range of motion). IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and operational aspects of an ultrasound therapy device. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: There is no mention of specimens, reagents, analytical methods, or diagnostic information, which are all hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Sonopulse III and Sonopulse are therapeutic ultrasound devices, not IVDs.

§ 890.5300 Ultrasonic diathermy.

(a)
Ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for use in applying therapeutic deep heat for selected medical conditions is a device that applies to specific areas of the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended to generate deep heat within body tissues for the treatment of selected medical conditions such as relief of pain, muscle spasms, and joint contractures, but not for the treatment of malignancies.(2)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).(b)
Ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses —(1)Identification. An ultrasonic diathermy for all other uses except for the treatment of malignancies is a device that applies to the body ultrasonic energy at a frequency beyond 20 kilohertz and that is intended for the treatment of medical conditions by means other than the generation of deep heat within body tissues as described in paragraph (a) of this section.(2)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date PMA or notice of completion of PDP is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP for a device described in paragraph (b) of this section is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 13, 1999, for any ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 13, 1999, been found to be substantially equivalent to an ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other ultrasonic diathermy described in paragraph (b) of this section shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

The symbol is made up of horizontal lines and a vertical line in the center, creating a geometric design. The overall impression is modern and corporate.

For certain types of medical electrical equipment, these requirements are either supplemented or modified by the special requirements of a collateral or particular standard. Where particular standards exist, this standard should not be used alone.

IEC 60601-1-2: Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance – Collateral standard: Electromagnetic compatibility - Requirements and tests

This collateral standard applies to electromagnetic compatibility of medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems. The object of this collateral standard is to specify general requirements and tests for electromagnetic compatibility of medical electrical equipment and medical electrical systems. They are in addition to the requirements of the general standard and serve as the basis for particular standards. Both the subject and predicate devices comply with this standard.

IEC 60601-2-5: Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-5: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment

IEC 60601-2-5 applies to the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment employing a single plane unfocused circular transducer per treatment head, producing static beams perpendicular to the face of the treatment head. This standard can also be applied to ultrasonic physiotherapy equipment used for compensation or alleviation of disease, injury or disability. Both the subject and predicate devices comply with this standard.

Conclusion

Based on the data and information presented in this submission, the Sonopulse and Sonopulse III are substantially equivalent to the currently legally marketed Sonicator Plus 930. The differences between the subject and predicate devices do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the proposed device.
