Intended Use
The BladderScan® PRIME PLUS system is an ultrasound device intended to be used for measuring urine volume of the bladder non-invasively.
Device Description
The BladderScan" PRIME PLUS system provides non-invasive measurement of urinary bladder volume. The system calculates the bladder volume using patented neural network technology. Volume measurements made with this technology are based on a more complex, multifaceted image of the bladder. Bladder volume, directional aiming with real-time feedback, battery status and usage rate indicators are displayed on the LCD display. The system operates using a battery which includes a charging cradle.
More Information

Not Found

Yes
The device description explicitly states that the system calculates bladder volume using "patented neural network technology," which is a type of machine learning algorithm.

No
The device is used for measuring urine volume, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It provides information but does not treat any condition.

No

The device is intended for measuring urine volume of the bladder. While it provides a measurement, it does not diagnose a disease or condition; it provides quantitative data that a medical professional might use as part of a diagnostic process.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "ultrasound device" and includes hardware components like an LCD display, battery, and charging cradle.

No, 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • BladderScan PRIME PLUS Function: The BladderScan PRIME PLUS system uses ultrasound to non-invasively measure the volume of urine within the bladder. It does not analyze a sample taken from the body.

The device is an in vivo diagnostic device, as it performs a diagnostic measurement directly on the living body.

No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Job:

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.

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 (reporting of medical device

Summary of Clinical Tests:

The BladderScan® PRIME PLUS System, subject of this submission, did not require clinical studies to support the determination of substantial equivalence.

8. Conclusion

The intended use and other key features are consistent with traditional clinical practice and FDA guidance. The BladderScan® PRIME PLUS system and the predicate device conform to applicable electro-medical device safety standards with compliance verified through independent evaluation. The BladderScan® PRIME PLUS system and the predicate meet FDA requirements for Track 1 devices, share indications for use, have biosafety equivalence and are manufactured using ISO 13485 quality management system. Verathon Inc. believes that the BladderScan" PRIME PLUS system is substantially equivalent with regard to safety and effectiveness to the legally marketed predicate device.
