Intended Use
C5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a general-purpose ultrasonic intended for use by a qualified physician for evaluation of Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid), Trans-vaginal, Peripheral Vascular, Musculo-skeletal (Conventional and Superficial), Cardiac (neonatal and adult), OB/Gyn and Urology.
Device Description
The C5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is an integrated preprogrammed color ultrasound imaging system, capable of producing high detail resolution intended for clinical diagnostic imaging applications. The basic principle is that system transmits ultrasonic energy into patient body and implements post processing of received echoes to generate onscreen display of anatomic structures and fluid flow within the body. This system is a Track 3 device that employs a series of probes that include linear array (frequency: 7.5 MHz), convex array (frequency: 3.5 MHz), trans-vaginal (also belong to the category of "linear array") (frequency: 6.5 MHz), micro-convex array (frequency: 5.0 MHz). This system consists of a mobile console with keyboard control panel, power supply module, color LCD monitor and optional probes. This system is a mobile, general purpose, software controlled, color diagnostic ultrasound system. Its basic function is to acquire ultrasound data and to display the image in B-Mode , M-Mode, Color-Flow Doppler, Pulsed Wave Doppler and Power Doppler, or the combination of these modes (i.e. "B-Mode + Color-Flow Doppler", "B-Mode + Color-Flow Doppler + Pulsed Wave Doppler" and "B-Mode + M-Mode").
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on standard ultrasound imaging modes and post-processing of echoes, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No.
The device is described as a "Diagnostic Ultrasound System" intended for "clinical diagnostic imaging applications" and does not mention any therapeutic capabilities.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "C5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a general-purpose ultrasonic intended for use by a qualified physician for evaluation of Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ...". The "Device Description" also refers to it as capable of "clinical diagnostic imaging applications" and a "color diagnostic ultrasound system."

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a mobile console with keyboard control panel, power supply module, color LCD monitor, and optional probes, which are all hardware components. While it is software-controlled, it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The C5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System uses ultrasonic energy transmitted into the patient's body to create images of internal structures and fluid flow. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic method, not an in vitro method.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the evaluation of various anatomical sites within the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the system transmits energy into the patient's body and processes received echoes.

Therefore, the C5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a diagnostic imaging device that operates in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

7.6.2 Brief Summary

First, the subject device enjoys identical classification and similar intended use with the predicate device, which forms the foundation of substantial equivalence between the two devices. Though their intended use are not identical, the intended use of subject device is covered by that of predicate device which has a larger usage scope, thus will not affecting the substantial equivalence comparison between the two devices.

Secondly, the subject device boasts similar technological characteristics with the predicate device: 1) they have identical cine loop setting and screen size; 2) though their operation mode, display modes and measurement items are not identical, the operation mode, display modes and measurement items of subject device are covered by those of predicate device; 3) they share similar design which is almost the same, and the slight difference in digital scan converter will not affect the core usage of devices, thus will not affecting their substantial equivalence comparison; 4) though they are not identical in operating condition and storage condition, their slight difference in operating condition and storage condition will not affect the core usage of subject device as long as users operate according to instruction, thus will not influencing the substantial equivalence comparison between them; 5) although their power supply are slightly different, the electrical safety and EMC of subject device have been tested according to FDA recognized standards - IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2, thus will not bringing in new safety concerns; 6) though the two devices are quite different in operation controls, the basic safety and essential performance of subject device has

17

been evaluated according to FDA recognized standard - IEC 60601-2-37, thus will not bringing new safety and effectiveness concerns. All of the above facts further support that the two devices are substantially equivalent.

Last but not least, the safety and effectiveness of subject device have been tests according to the same FDA recongized standards as the predicate device - IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-37, ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10, the result of which displays that subject device fully meets the standards requirement, that subject device will be as safe and effective for usage as the predicate device.

Accordingly, it is reasonable to conclude that two devices are substantially equivalent.

7.7 Discussion of Tests Performed

7.7.1 Clinical Tests

Image /page/18/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for SonoStar. The logo features a green star with a green outline on the left side of the image. To the right of the star is the word "SonoStar" in green, with the "S" in SonoStar being the same green as the star outline and the rest of the word being a darker green.

7.8 Conclusion

From the above analysis, it is reasonable for us to conclude that the subject device - C5 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device - S12 Digital Color Doppler Ultrasound System (K142474).
