No
The device is a passive protective cover for an ultrasound transducer and does not involve any data processing or algorithmic functions.
No.
The device is described as a protective cover for ultrasound transducers, helping to prevent the transfer of microorganisms and particulate material during diagnostic procedures, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
This device is a protective cover for diagnostic ultrasound transducers, not the diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to prevent contamination and maintain a sterile field during ultrasound procedures.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical cover made of materials like polyurethane, polyethylene, and/or synthetic polyisoprene, and is used to cover an ultrasound transducer. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The primary intended use is to provide a protective barrier for ultrasound transducers during diagnostic procedures. It helps prevent the transfer of microorganisms and fluids between the transducer, patient, and healthcare worker. It also helps maintain a sterile field.
- Mechanism of Action: The device is a physical cover that is placed over the transducer. It does not interact with biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide diagnostic information.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the materials and physical properties of the cover, and how it is applied and removed.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on non-pyrogenicity, biocompatibility (implantation testing), sterility, packaging, shelf life, and general performance as a cover. These are not typical performance metrics for an IVD, which would involve evaluating the accuracy and reliability of a diagnostic test.
IVD devices are designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device is used in vivo (on or in the body) as a barrier during an imaging procedure.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Protective cover or sheath placed over diagnostic ultrasound transducer / probe / scanhead instruments. The cover allows use of the transducer in scanning and needle guided procedures for body surface, endocavity, central nervous system, and intraoperative diagnostic ultrasound, while helping to prevent transfer of microorganisms, body fluids, and particulate material to the patient and healthcare worker during reuse of the transducer. The cover also provides a means for maintenance of a sterile field. The cover is single use patient / procedure, non-pvrogenic, and disposable.

Device Description
The Non-Pyrogenic Ultrasound Transducer Cover provides a thin, conformal covering to fit a variety of ultrasound transducer geometries. The cover is made of polyurethane, polyethylene, and/or synthetic polyisoprene materials. The cover is manufactured as either a one-or two-piece design that helps prevent the transmission of pathogens as the ultrasound transducer is reused from one patient to another. The Non-Pyrogenic Ultrasound Transducer Cover is provided sterile and is single patient / procedure and disposable.
Ultrasound imaging is not impaired by use of the cover as it is intended. As adequate coupling between the cover and the transducer is required, the Non-Pvrogenic Ultrasound Transducer Cover is utilized by applying sterile saline or other non-pyrogenic coupling media onto the transducer face or into the closed end of cover, inserting the ultrasound transducer into the closed end of cover, and unrolling the cover over the length of the transducer as desired. The open end is secured with elastic bands and nylon clips as necessary. The removal process is accomplished by pulling the cover off the transducer in a reverse method from the application.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
In order to support the expanded indications for use to include a non-pyrogenic claim and use in the central nervous system, non-clinical endotoxin testing per USP Bacterial Endotoxins Test and implant testing per ISO 10993-06 Tests for Local Effects After Implantation was completed on the proposed device. The endotoxin testing demonstrated that pyrogen levels are acceptable in accordance with USP Transfusion and Infusion Assemblies and Similar Medical Devices. The implant testing demonstrated that the device materials are non-reactive when implanted in muscle for one week.
Sterility, packaging, shelf life, biocompatibility, and performance testing completed on the predicate devices remains applicable for the proposed device and this testing is summarized in the submission.
