No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description focuses on standard ultrasound imaging modes and hardware.
No.
The device is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging analysis, not for therapeutic purposes.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The LinkQuest Diagnostic Ultrasound SQ860 is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging analysis..." and the "Device Description" states it is an "ultrasound diagnostic system."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "general purpose, mobile, software controlled, ultrasound diagnostic system" and mentions employing "a set of probes." This indicates the device includes hardware components (the probes and the system itself) in addition to the software control.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The LinkQuest Diagnostic Ultrasound SQ860 is an ultrasound system. It uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "diagnostic ultrasound imaging analysis" of various anatomical sites and patient populations. This involves imaging the body directly, not analyzing samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the LinkQuest Diagnostic Ultrasound SQ860 is a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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 Dr. Yu:
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.
