Intended Use
The VMS system is an adjunct to existing ultrasound imaging systems and is intended to record, analyze, store and retrieve digital ultrasound images for computerized 3-dimensional image processing. The VMS system is indicated for use where RV volumes and ejection fractions are warranted or desired.
Device Description
The VentriPoint Medical System was cleared under 510(k) K140153 for use in adult patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. This current submission is intended to expand system use to right ventricle evaluation where RV volumes and ejection fractions are warranted or desired in patients other than those diagnosed with PAH. Right ventricle evaluation is accomplished by the addition of a KBR heart catalog containing a variety of heart models that are not specific to PAH. All other system operational characteristics remain unchanged from the cleared device.
More Information

No
The document describes "computerized 3-dimensional image processing" and "Knowledge Based Reconstruction (KBR)" using a "heart catalog" and "heart models," but it does not explicitly mention AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms. The description of the technology aligns more with traditional image processing and model-based reconstruction techniques rather than AI/ML.

No
The device is intended to record, analyze, store, and retrieve digital ultrasound images for computerized 3-dimensional image processing, and for right ventricle evaluation to determine RV volumes and ejection fractions. It does not provide any form of therapy.

No

The VMS system is described as an "adjunct to existing ultrasound imaging systems" intended to "record, analyze, store and retrieve digital ultrasound images for computerized 3-dimensional image processing" to evaluate RV volumes and ejection fractions. It provides measurements and analysis based on images, rather than directly diagnosing a disease or condition. While the information it provides can be used in a diagnostic process, the device itself performs image processing and measurement, functioning more as a measurement and image analysis tool.

No

The device description refers to the "VentriPoint Medical System" and mentions it is an "adjunct to existing ultrasound imaging systems," implying it is a system that includes hardware components beyond just software. The submission is for an expansion of use for an already cleared system (K140153), which is described as a "system," not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The VMS system processes digital ultrasound images of the right ventricle. It does not analyze biological samples taken from the patient.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to record, analyze, store, and retrieve ultrasound images for 3D processing and to evaluate RV volumes and ejection fractions. This is an imaging-based analysis, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, the VMS system falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Performance bench testing of the RV catalog was completed to verify suitability for right ventricle evaluation where RV volumes and ejection fractions are warranted or desired in patients other than those diagnosed with PAH.

Testing of the RV catalog consisted of a robust series of automated and manual testing to verify reconstruction accuracy.

Prior clinical testing was completed in adult Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) patients which was the basis for pre-market notification K140153. This clearance demonstrated the substantial equivalence of VentriPoint Knowledge Based Reconstruction (KBR) with volumes derived from cardiac MRI.

Development of the RV catalog was conducted according to VentriPoint established procedures in the same way as the PAH catalog that was cleared as part of K140153. Therefore additional human clinical trials were not warranted.

NONCLINICAL TESTING

Performance bench testing of the RV catalog was completed to verify suitability for right ventricle evaluation where RV volumes and ejection fractions are warranted or desired in patients other than those diagnosed with PAH.

Testing of the RV catalog consisted of a robust series of automated and manual testing to verify reconstruction accuracy.

CLINICAL TESTING

Prior clinical testing was completed in adult Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) patients which was the basis for pre-market notification K140153. This clearance demonstrated the substantial equivalence of VentriPoint Knowledge Based Reconstruction (KBR) with volumes derived from cardiac MRI.

Development of the RV catalog was conducted according to VentriPoint established procedures in the same way as the PAH catalog that was cleared as part of K140153. Therefore additional human clinical trials were not warranted.

CONCLUSION

807.92(b)(3)

Device Similarities

The proposed expanded use of the VMS system is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. K140153. with the addition of a RV catalog that allows evaluation of RV volumes and ejection fractions in patients other than those diagnosed with PAH. All operational characteristics of the VMS system remain unchanged from the cleared device.

Safety and Effectiveness

The VMS system is a non-invasive, non-sigmificant risk technology. No adverse events were reported during previous clinical trials. Accuracy of the RV catalog was assessed through rigorous bench testing and has been cleared for use in Canada and Europe since April 2013. The RV catalog introduces no new questions concerning safety or effectiveness and is therefore substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
