Device Description
The CORE M2 Vascular System is used for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of vascular morphology in the coronary arteries and vessels of the peripheral vasculature. It is also indicated as an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures to provide an image of vessel lumen and wall structures. The system utilizes the acoustic impedance of vascular structures to provide cross sectional images from inside the vessel. The IVUS catheter uses a transducer near the distal tip to emit and receive high frequency sound waves. The system is then able to analyze the signal that is received by the transducer to differentiate between vessel structures to produce a 360° cross sectional image. The CORE M2 Vascular System consists of a cart mounted touchscreen PC Console, a patient interface module (PIM) for connecting the IVUS Imaging Catheter to the PC Console, and an optional Control Console as an alternative to the touchscreen for control of the CORE M2 System.

No
The summary describes standard image signal processing for ultrasound and does not mention AI or ML.

No.
The device is used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation and imaging of vascular morphology, not for treating or providing therapy.

Yes

Explanation: The device is used for "qualitative evaluation of vascular morphology" and provides "an image of vessel lumen and wall structures." This involves obtaining and analyzing information about the body to aid in diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components including a cart mounted touchscreen PC Console, a patient interface module, and an optional Control Console, in addition to software.

Based on the provided information, the CORE M2 Vascular System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The CORE M2 Vascular System is an imaging system that directly examines the vascular morphology inside the patient's body using ultrasound. It does not analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use and device description clearly state it is used for imaging and evaluating vascular structures within the body. It is an adjunct to conventional angiographic procedures, which are also in-vivo procedures.
  • The device description focuses on the imaging process using ultrasound and analyzing the received signals to produce images. This is characteristic of an in-vivo imaging system, not an in-vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, the CORE M2 Vascular System falls under the category of an in-vivo imaging device, not an IVD.

The CORE M2 system was subjected to a range of humidity, temperature, and varying levels of shock and vibration. The results of this testing demonstrate the CORE M2 System remains functional under the required environmental conditions.
  • Packaging testing was conducted on each of the CORE M2 System packages, consisting of the Panel PC, Panel PC Assembly, Cart, and Patient Interface Module per FDA recognized standards ASTM D4332-14 and ASTM D4169-16. The results of this testing demonstrate that the CORE M2 System packaging design is sufficient for transit conditions.
  • Hardware Verification was performed on the CORE M2 System and each of its subassemblies to verify each meets its relevant product specifications. Testing was performed on the following:
    • CORE M2 Panel PC
    • Image Acquisition Printed Circuit Assembly
    • Mobile Cart
    • CORE M2 System, fully assembled
      The results of this testing demonstrates the CORE M2 System and each of its subassemblies meet the defined product specifications.

Software Verification and Validation
Software verification and validation testing was conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices". Unit, integration, and system level software testing was conducted on the CORE M2 v4.1 software, consisting of the application, firmware, and imaging library. The software for this device was considered as a "Moderate" level of concern, since a failure or latent flaw in the software could indirectly result in minor injury to the patient or operator. The results of the software verification and validation demonstrate that the CORE M2 v4.1 software meets the defined software requirements.

Simulated Use / Usability Validation
Simulated Use/Usability Validation testing was conducted to ensure the CORE M2 System meets the user needs, satisfies the intended use, and demonstrates that users are able to use the device safely and effectively. The results of this validation demonstrate that the CORE M2 System meets the user needs.

Image Validation
An Image Validation was also conducted to confirm that the images acquired and displayed by the CORE M2 System are clinically acceptable for end users. The results of the image validation demonstrate that the CORE M2 system provides images which are clinically acceptable.

Summary
The results of the performance data for the CORE M2 System demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
