Intended Use
Advance Medical Designs, Inc. Sterile Ultrasound Gel is intended for general use as a sterile transmission media for acoustically coupling a transducer to a human body surface during external therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound imaging procedures. It is placed on the patient's intact skin prior to initiating an ultrasound examination. It is indicated for prescription use only.
Device Description
Advance Medical Designs, Inc. Sterile Ultrasound Gel consists of deionized water, glycerin, butylene glycol, glyceryl acrylic acid copolymer, propylene glycol, carbomer, phenoxyethanol, cellulose gum, sodium hydroxide, hydroxyethlcellulose, ethylhexylglycerin. It is a type of conductive medium (i.e.) scanning gel used in ultrasound therapeutic and diagnostic imaging techniques. A scanning gel acts as a couplant that provides an acoustic pathway between transducer and the intact skin. In addition, the gel eliminates air (a disruptive influence) from the interface and adapts to the contours of the probe to the intact skin. The major characteristics of Advance Medical Designs, Inc. Sterile Ultrasound Gel: - Hypoallergenic, non-irritating - Water soluble, non-staining and easily cleanable - Free from formaldehyde and salt - Does not contain oil or fatty matter - No toxic effects - Vacuum treated production - Produced as a completely harmless material - Does not damage the probe - Does not contain air bubbles
More Information

Not Found

No
The device is a sterile ultrasound gel, a passive transmission medium, and the description contains no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the sterile ultrasound gel is intended for use during "external therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound imaging procedures."

No

This device is a sterile ultrasound gel used as a transmission media for acoustically coupling a transducer to the body during ultrasound procedures. It does not perform diagnostic functions itself, but rather facilitates diagnostic imaging.

No

The device is a sterile ultrasound gel, which is a physical substance used as a transmission medium. It is not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: This device is a gel applied to the surface of the body to facilitate ultrasound imaging. It acts as a physical coupling agent, not a tool for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "acoustically coupling a transducer to a human body surface during external therapeutic and diagnostic ultrasound imaging procedures." This is an external application, not an in vitro test.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this sterile ultrasound gel is a medical device used externally for imaging purposes, not an IVD.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Mackie:

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.
