More Information

No
The document describes a standard ultrasound imaging system with various operational modes. There is no mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms in the provided text. The description focuses on the hardware, display, user interface, and traditional ultrasound imaging modes.

No.
The device is described as an "ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis," and its intended use is for "evaluation of soft tissue and blood flow." Imaging and evaluation are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

Yes
Explanation: The "Device Description" section states that the "E-CUBE 5 product is an ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis." The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" further specifies its use for "evaluation of soft tissue and blood flow."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "ultrasound imaging system" and mentions hardware components like a "15.6" wide flat panel display" and "ergonomic control panel," indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body). The purpose is to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • This device is an ultrasound imaging system. It uses ultrasonic waves to create images of internal body structures in vivo (inside the body).
  • The intended use and device description clearly state its purpose is for imaging soft tissue and blood flow in various anatomical sites. This is a diagnostic imaging modality, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, the E-CUBE 5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not IVDs.

§ 892.1550 Ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue 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.

Summary of Non-Clinical Tests:

E-CUBE 5 has been evaluated for biocompatibility, acoustic output as well as thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety, and has been found to conform to applicable medical device safety standards. E-CUBE 5 and its application comply with voluntary standards as detailed in this premarket submission. The following quality management system measures were applied to the development of E-CUBE 5:

  • � Safety Testing (Compliance Test)
  • � Design Validation

Transducer materials and other patient contact materials are biocompatible.

Summary of Clinical Tests:

The subject of this premarket submission. E-CUBE 5, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.

Discussion:

E-CUBE 5 and the predicate device have differences in clinical applications and operating modes. Several transducers are changed for these purposes. These design changes have been verified via nonclinical testing. The subject device is in conformance with applicable safety standards. Therefore, the differences between E-CUBE 5 and the predicate would not affect the safety, effectiveness and essential performance of E-CUBE 5.

  • ALPINION MEDICAL SYSTEMS Co., Ltd. considers E-CUBE 5 to be as Conclusion: safe, as effective. Performance, technology and software are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
    ALPINION MEDICAL SYSTEMS Co., Ltd. will update and include in this summary any other information deemed reasonably necessary by the FDA or the requirements will be published in guidance documents.
