The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical integrity of a Doppler flow probe, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data processing or interpretation.
No.
The device is used for monitoring blood flow, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.
Yes
The device is used for "monitoring blood flow in vessels," which involves gathering information about a physiological state (blood flow) to assess health or disease. This monitoring provides real-time information that can aid in surgical and post-surgical decision-making, fulfilling a key characteristic of a diagnostic device.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like a piezoelectric crystal transducer, silicone cuff, wires, and a plug connector, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
- Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe Function: The description clearly states that the device is used for "monitoring blood flow in vessels intraoperatively" and "following reconstructive micro-vascular procedures, re-implantation, and free-flap transfers." This indicates that the device is used directly on or within the patient's body to measure blood flow in real-time.
- No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any specimens from the patient. The device directly interacts with the blood vessels.
Therefore, the Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe is an in vivo diagnostic or monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe contains a piezoelectric crystal transducer assembly at its distal end. The transducer is a 1 mm diameter disc and operates at 20 MHz. The transducer is attached to a silicone cuff (either 5 mm × 32 mm or 5 mm × 17.4 mm) that is designed to be secured around a blood vessel. Proximal to the cuff, braided wires connect the transducer to suture pads and to a proximal polyurethanecovered wire. The polyurethane-covered wire ends in a two-pin plug connector.
The cuff is designed to be wrapped around the vessel to be monitored. The length of the cuff represents the circumference of the vessel that can be covered. The cuff is 5 mm wide regardless of length. The width of the cuff represents the length of the vessel that can be covered with the cuff.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following tests were conducted and demonstrate the effective performance of the device:
- Cuff detachment force
- Suture pad attachment force
The assessment concluded that the materials of the device provide a reasonable assurance of safety with respect to biocompatibility.
The results of these tests support the conclusion that the Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe performs acceptably and does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, thus supporting a determination of substantial equivalence.

Dear Mr. Kardos:
We have reviewed vour 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Technological Characteristics
The transducer, electrical components, and the polyurethane-covered wires and connector of the Cook-Swartz Doppler Flow Probe are unchanged compared to the predicate device; therefore, it was not necessary to retest acoustic and electrical characteristics of the device.
A biocompatibility assessment was made, including assessment of the following biological effects:
-
- Cytotoxicity
-
- Sensitization
-
- Irritation or intracutaneous reactivity
-
- Acute systemic toxicity
-
- Material-mediated pyrogenicity
-
- Subacute/subchronic toxicity
-
- Genotoxicity
-
- Implantation
-
- Chronic toxicity
-
- Carcinogenicity
The assessment concluded that the materials of the device provide a reasonable assurance of safety with respect to biocompatibility.
