Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Abdominal, Cardiac Adult, Cardiac other (Fetal), Cardiac Pediatric, Cerebral Vascular, Cephalic (Adult), Cephalic (Neonatal), Fetal/Obstetric, Gynecological, Intraoperative (Vascular), Intraoperative (Cardiac), Musculoskeletal (Conventional), Musculoskeletal (Superficial), Other: Urology, Pediatric, Peripheral Vessel, Small Organ (Breast, Thyroid, Testicle), Transesophageal (Cardiac), Transrectal, Transvaginal.
The proposed EPIQ and Affiniti Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems are general purpose, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound systems. Their function is to acquire ultrasound data and to display the data in various modes of operation. The devices consist of two parts: the system console and the transducers. The system console contains the user interface, a display, system electronics and optional peripherals (ECG, printers). The removable transducers are connected to the system using a standard technology, multi-pin connectors.
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and supporting studies for the Philips EPIQ and Affiniti Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not explicitly present a table of quantitative acceptance criteria with corresponding performance metrics for the device itself (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity for diagnostic tasks). Instead, it focuses on demonstrating compliance with recognized safety and performance standards for ultrasound devices, and equivalence to predicate devices. The "performance" described relates more to meeting these technical and regulatory standards.
However, based on the Safety Considerations and Nonclinical Performance Data sections, we can infer the following:
| Acceptance Criteria Category (Inferred) | Specific Standard/Requirement | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Acoustic Output Limits | IEC 60601-2-37 Ed 2.0 (Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic medical and monitoring equipment) and IEC 62359, Ed 2.0 (Ultrasonics -Field characterization – Test methods for the determination of thermal and mechanical indices related to medical diagnostic ultrasonic fields), FDA ultrasound guidance document | Complaint Data: |

§ 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.
