The SonoSite iViz Ultrasound System is a general purpose ultrasound system and non-continuous patient monitoring platform intended in clinical care by qualified physicians and healthcare professionals for evaluation by ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body. Specific clinical applications and exam types include:
Fetal - OB
Abdominal
Pediatric
Small Organ (breast, thyroid, testicles, prostate)
Musculo-skel. (Convent.)
Musculo-skel. (Superfic.)
Cardiac Adult
Cardiac Pediatric
Peripheral vessel
The SonoSite iViz Ultrasound System is a highly featured, general purpose, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system used to acquire and display high-resolution, real-time ultrasound data through multiple imaging modes. iViz is a custom fabricated digital electronic handheld tablet that is highly portable, battery-operated, and consists of an active transducer that connects to and is controlled by the tablet. iViz supports Bluetooth and wireless network connectivity for image transfer and over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the FUJIFILM SonoSite iViz Ultrasound System. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than proving de novo safety and effectiveness through clinical trials with defined acceptance criteria and study designs.
Therefore, the document does not contain the information requested regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria, specifically concerning the performance of an AI or algorithm. This notification is for an ultrasound imaging system, which produces images for human interpretation, not an AI-powered diagnostic device that would have specific performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement.
Here's why the requested information cannot be extracted from this document:
- No AI/Algorithm: The document describes a general-purpose ultrasound system. There is no mention of any integrated AI, machine learning algorithm, or software that performs automated diagnoses or assists in interpretation beyond standard imaging functionalities (e.g., SonoHD3 Imaging for speckle reduction, which is a signal processing technique, not an AI for diagnosis).
- Substantial Equivalence: The core of a 510(k) submission is to show that the new device is "substantially equivalent" to a legally marketed device (predicate) in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and safety/effectiveness. This typically involves non-clinical tests (electrical safety, EMC, biocompatibility, acoustic output, and adherence to standards) rather than clinical performance studies for diagnostic accuracy against predefined acceptance criteria for an AI.
- No Clinical Performance Data on "AI": The document explicitly states: "The iViz Ultrasound System and transducers, subject of this submission, did not require clinical studies to support the determination of substantial equivalence." This further confirms that no clinical performance data (like sensitivity, specificity, or MRMC studies) related to an AI or algorithm's diagnostic performance was generated or presented in this submission.
- "Acceptance Criteria" for a PURE Imaging Device: For an ultrasound imaging system, acceptance criteria would revolve around image quality (resolution, contrast, penetration, etc.), safety (acoustic output, electrical safety), usability, and reliability, rather than diagnostic accuracy metrics of an AI. These are typically assessed through engineering tests and comparison to the predicate's performance specifications, not through studies with expert ground truth establishment for a test set of diagnoses.
In summary, as this document pertains to a general diagnostic ultrasound system and not an AI/ML-powered diagnostic device, the requested information (AI acceptance criteria, test set, experts, MRMC studies, etc.) is not applicable and therefore not present.

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.
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.

Summary of Clinical Tests:
The iViz Ultrasound System and transducers, subject of this submission, did not require clinical studies to support the determination of substantial equivalence.
8) Conclusion:
Intended uses and other key features are consistent with traditional clinical practice and FDA guidance. The iViz system and predicates meet FDA requirements for Track 3 devices, share indications for use, have biosafety equivalence, and conform to applicable electromedical device safety standards. FUJIFILM SonoSite, Inc. believes that the iViz Ultrasound System is substantially equivalent with regard to safety and effectiveness to the predicate devices.
§ 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.
