Intended Use
The ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System is intended for use by qualified medical professionals for diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body; the intended uses are: Small Organ (prostate) Transrectal The system may be used with patients of all ages, but is not designed for pediatric or fetal use.
Device Description
The ExactVu high resolution micro-ultrasound system is intended for use by qualified medical professionals for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, data processing and quidance of puncture and biopsy. The ExactVu System is comprised of transducers responsible for ultrasound signal generation and recording, a needle guide and a main unit that controls the transducers, processes the acoustic data, and processes and displays images.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard ultrasound image processing and does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic ultrasound imaging" system, and its intended uses are for "diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis" and "guidance of puncture and biopsy," which are diagnostic rather than therapeutic actions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is "intended for use by qualified medical professionals for diagnostic ultrasound imaging." The "Device Description" also reiterates this by stating it is "intended for use by qualified medical professionals for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, data processing and quidance of puncture and biopsy."

No

The device description explicitly states the system is comprised of transducers, a needle guide, and a main unit, which are hardware components.

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. They are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System is described as a system for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis of the human body. It uses ultrasound waves to create images of internal structures.
  • Method of Use: The system is used on the patient (transrectal imaging of the prostate) to visualize internal anatomy. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic method, not an in vitro method.

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

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

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.

7) Determination of Substantial Equivalence:

Summary of Non-Clinical Tests:

The ExactVu System has been evaluated for electrical, thermal, mechanical and EMC safety. Additionally, cleaning/disinfection, biocompatibility, and acoustic output have been evaluated, and the device has been found to conform to applicable mandatory medical device safety standards. Assurance of quality was established by employing the following elements of product development: Design Phase Reviews, Risk Assessment, Requirements Development, System and Software Verification, Hardware Verification, Safety Compliance Verification, Clinical Evaluation. All patient contact materials are biocompatible and are materials that are already used in other legally marketed devices or meet 10993-1.

The ExactVu System is designed to comply with the following voluntary standards:
