No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on standard ultrasound imaging modes and transducer performance.
No.
The device is described as a "diagnostic ultrasound system" intended for "non-invasive imaging" and to "acquire ultrasound echo data and display it." Its purpose is to provide images for diagnosis, not to treat or cure conditions.
Yes
The 'Device Description' explicitly states, "The Signostics Ltd SignosRT is a hand-held, diagnostic ultrasound system with an onscreen display."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held, diagnostic ultrasound system" and mentions a "SpeqRT L10 transducer," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly states that the SpeqRT ultrasound system is for non-invasive imaging of the human body. It acquires ultrasound echo data and displays it as images (B-Mode, M-Mode, Spectral Doppler). This is a form of medical imaging, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
The device's function is to visualize internal structures using ultrasound waves, which is fundamentally different from the laboratory-based testing characteristic of IVDs.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The new SpeqRT L10 transducer has been bench tested for imaging performance and measurement accuracy, with tests showing the SpeqRT L10 imaging performance and measurement accuracy to be substantially equivalent to the S3-5 transducer predicate devices. The measured lateral and axial resolution for the SpeqRT L10 is less than the S3-5 transducer and predicates 7.5MHz transducer (K090505), therefore providing better image resolution.

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Job:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

8. Predicate Devices
SpeqRT Ultrasound System (K130659): This 510k is submitted due to a significant change to SpeqRT Ultrasound System (K130659), for the addition of a new transducer (L10).
Speq Ultrasound System (K090505): contains a 7.5MHz transducer, and therefore is used as a predicate for the new L10 transducer introduced in this application.
8
9. Risk Analysis Method Used
Signostics Ltd applied ISO-14971 to the design and development of the SignosRT and the change to include the L10 transducer. The conclusion from the risk analysis was the device was safe for its intended use and does not pose any unacceptable risks.
10. Basis for Substantial Equivalence
This submission is for a significant change to the SpeqRT system described in K130659.
The changes are as follows:
- a. A new transducer (L10) is included. The new transducer is a high frequency transducer with a flat transducer surface for providing better superficial resolution and better ergonomics for imaging blood vessels. Note: There are no new indications for use included in the system.
- b. The software has been updated to v2.11.0. The significant changes to the software are to support the new L10 transducer.
- c. The user manual has been updated to v2.11.0 to add the new L10 transducer.
- d. A new packaging box has been created to ship the L10 transducer separate to the main system.
- The previously cleared S3 and S3-5 transducer have been updated to provide a e. more robust transducer lens. The previously cleared transducer contained two patient contact materials, a lens made from blue TPX-MED18, and a body made from white Cycoloy HC1204HF. The updated S3 and S3-5 transducer design contains a single lens and body made from white TPX-MED18 (same as new L10). The ISO-10993 tests have been repeated for the new material.
Excluding the above changes, the previously cleared SpeqRT (K130659) and the new device are identical and unchanged. They transmit ultrasonic energy into patients, then process received echoes to produce on-screen images of anatomy. The indication for use statement of the SignosRT L10 transducer is a subset of the indications for use of the SignosRT S3-5 transducer.
The base SpeqRT system is identical in construction, materials, and controls to the previously cleared SpeqRT (K130659). The patient contact materials have been updated and retested to ISO-10993. The new L10 transducer operating frequency (7-10MHz) is higher than the S3-5 transducer operating frequency (3-5MHz), therefore providing better superficial resolution. Both systems contain sector transducers with annular (circular) acoustic elements generating pie shaped images. Both transducers maintain MI and TI to be
