No
The document describes a standard Doppler device for blood flow measurement and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities in its description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
The device is described as a diagnostic tool for measuring blood flow velocities, not for treating conditions.
Yes.
The "Device Description" section states that the Dolphin systems are "noninvasive peripheral vascular diagnostic systems," and their intended use is for "measurements of blood flow velocities in arteries and veins," which are diagnostic measurements.
No
The device description explicitly states that both Dolphin/IQ and Dolphin/4D systems share identical Doppler hardware and software, and the Dolphin/4D is a complete integrated system including hardware components like a computer system, hard disk, and touch screen display.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Dolphin systems are for "noninvasive measurements of blood flow velocities in arteries and veins". This involves using ultrasound technology to measure physiological parameters directly from the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a Doppler system that uses probes to interact with the body and measure blood flow.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Dolphin systems are used to directly measure physiological parameters within the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Dolphin/IQ and Dolphin/4D are medical Doppler devices intended for noninvasive measurements of blood flow velocities in arteries and veins in adults and Pediatric. The Dolphin systems can be used in hospitals, clinics and physician offices.
Contraindications : The Dolphin is not intended to be used in fetal or neonatal applications.
Note : The Dolphin is to be used only by trained medical personnel.

Device Description
Dolphin/IQ and Dolphin/4D systems are part of the Dolphin product family of noninvasive peripheral vascular diagnostic systems. The Dolphin/IQ and the Dolphin/4D are transcranial Doppler (TCD) systems for measurement of blood flow velocity intracranially, extracranially and in the peripheral circulation. Both systems share identical Doppler hardware and software. The Dolphin/IQ is a module, that needs to connect to an external computer and display for its' operation while the Dolphin/4D is a complete integrated system that includes and integrated computer system with hard disk, and touch screen display. The functionality and performance of both systems is identical. Both systems support the same Doppler probes: 1.6 MHz PW hand held probe, 2 MHz PW hand held probe, 2 MHz PW monitoring probe, 4 MHz CW/PW hand held probe and 8 MHz CW/PW hand held probe. Both support the same accessories: IR wireless remote control, foot switch and monitoring head set.
Wherever the term Dolphin is used in this document, it applies to the Dolphin/IQ and Dolphin/4D products. Otherwise, each product is specifically by name. The Dolphin systems are based on Doppler technology and are designed for standard intended use for Transcranial Doppler systems operated only by experienced medical staff.

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Manor:
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.
