Intended Use
The device is a general-purpose ultrasound system. Specific clinical applications and exam types include: Fetal (Obsterics); Abdominal (including renal and GYN/pelvic); Pediatic; Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid, salvary gland, lymph nodes, pediatic and neonatal patients); Neonatal Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Peripheral Vascular (PV); Musculo-skeletal Conventional and Superficial; Transrectal (TR); Transvaginal (TV). Intended Use: Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Clinical Application/Anatomy/Region of Interest: Fetal / Obstetrics; Abdominal (includes renal, GYN/Pelvic); Pediatric; Small Organ (includes breast, testes, thyroid, salivary gland, lymph nodes, pediatric and neonatal patients); Neonatal Cephalic; Adult Cephalic; Cardiac (Adult and Pediatric); Peripheral Vascular; Musculo-skeletal Conventional; Musculo-skeletal Superficial; Transrectal (includes urology/prostate); Transvaginal.
Device Description
The systems are full-featured Track 3 ultrasound systems primarily for general radiology use and specialized for OB/GYN with particular features for realtime 3D/4D acquisition. They consist of a mobile console with keyboard control panel; color LCD/TFT touch panel, color video display and optional image storage and printing devices. They provide high performance ultrasound imaging and analysis and have comprehensive networking and DICOM capability. They utilize a variety of linear, curved linear, matrix phased array transducers including mechanical and electronic scanning transducers, which provide accurate realtime three dimensional imaging supporting all standard acquisition modes.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, nor does it describe features or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices.

No
The device is described as a "general-purpose ultrasound system" intended for "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis," indicating its use for diagnosis rather than therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use" section explicitly states "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body," and the predicate device names also include "Diagnostic Ultrasound System."

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a mobile console with keyboard control panel, color LCD/TFT touch panel, color video display, optional image storage and printing devices, and utilizes various transducers. These are all hardware components, indicating it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a general-purpose ultrasound system. Ultrasound systems use sound waves to create images of internal body structures. They do not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body. This involves imaging the body directly, not testing samples from it.
  • Device Description: The description details a mobile console, transducers, and imaging capabilities, all consistent with an ultrasound system and not an IVD.

Therefore, the function and intended use of this device fall under the category of medical imaging, not in vitro diagnostics.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The device is a general-purpose ultrasound system. Specific clinical applications and exam types include: Fetal (Obsterics); Abdominal (including renal and GYN/pelvic); Pediatic; Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid, salvary gland, lymph nodes, pediatic and neonatal patients); Neonatal Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Peripheral Vascular (PV); Musculo-skeletal Conventional and Superficial; Transrectal (TR); Transvaginal (TV).

Intended Use: Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Fetal / Obstetrics; Abdominal; Pediatric; Small Organ; Neonatal Cephalic; Adult Cephalic; Cardiac; Peripheral Vascular; Musculo-skeletal Conventional; Musculo-skeletal Superficial; Transrectal; Transvaginal.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Ortiz:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

The device is a general purpose ultrasound system. Intended Use: Specific clinical applications remain the same as previously cleared: Fetal/OB; Abdominal (including renal and GYN/pelvic); Pediatric; Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid, salivary gland, lymph nodes, pediatric and neonatal patients); Neonatal and Adult Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Peripheral Vascular (PV); Musculo-skeletal Conventional and Superficial; Transrectal (TR); Transvaginal (TV).

The Voluson S6 / Voluson S8 / Voluson S10 employs the same Technology: fundamental scientific technology as its predicate devices.

Determination of Comparison to Predicates

Substantial Equivalence: The Voluson S6 / Voluson S8 / Voluson S10 is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regards to intended use, imaging capabilities, technologicial characteristics and safety and effectiveness.

  • The systems are all intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis.
  • . The Voluson S6/S8/S10 and predicate Voluson S6/S8 systems have the same clinical intended use.
  • o The Voluson S6/S8/S10 and predicate Voluson S6/S8 systems have the same imaging modes.
  • The Voluson S6/S8/S10 and predicate Voluson S6/S8 systems transducers are identical except for the removal of six transducers (RAB4-8-RS, RIC5-9W-RS, P2D, RAB2-5-RS. AB2-7-RS. RAB2-6-RS): the removal of ML6-15-RS and the 12S-RS probes on Voluson S6; the addition of two new transducers IC9-RS (similar to IC9-D on predicate Voluson E Series K152567), and RIC5-9A-RS (similar to RIC5-9W-RS on predicate Voluson S Series K141639)
  • The Voluson S6/S8/S10 and predicate Voluson S6/S8 systems have the same indications for use.
  • The systems are manufactured with materials which have been evaluated and found to be safe for the intended use
