Intended Use
The device is intended for use by a qualified physician for the evaluation of soft tissue and blood flow in the clinical applications; Fetal; Abdominal (renal & GYN/pelvic); Pediatric, Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid); Neonatal Cephalic, Adult Cephalic; Trans-rectal, Trans-vaginal, Musculo-skeletal (Conventional); Musculo-skeletal (Superficial); Cardiac (adult& pediatric); Peripheral Vascular (PV); and Urology (including prostate).
Device Description
E-CUBE 8 product is an ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis. This innovative system platform provides optimal patient diagnosis workflow with the wide flat panel display, ergonomic control panel with easy user interface, optimal image quality.
More Information

None

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and does not mention any AI/ML-specific features or performance metrics.

No
The device is described as an "ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis" and is intended for "evaluation of soft tissue and blood flow." Its purpose is diagnostic, not therapeutic.

Yes

The device explicitly states in the 'Device Description' that it is an "ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis," and its 'Intended Use' describes evaluation of various soft tissues and blood flow, all indicative of diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "ultrasound imaging system" and mentions hardware components like a "wide flat panel display" and "ergonomic control panel," indicating it is a physical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as an ultrasound imaging system for evaluating soft tissue and blood flow in various anatomical sites. This is a diagnostic imaging device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that it's an ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis.
  • Input Imaging Modality: It uses ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging, which is an in vivo imaging technique, not an in vitro diagnostic method.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used to image various parts of the human body directly.
  • No mention of analyzing biological specimens: There is no indication that this device is used to analyze samples taken from a patient outside of the body.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological specimens to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This ultrasound system operates by sending sound waves into the body and interpreting the reflected echoes to create images, which is a fundamentally different process from in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Boyeon CHO:

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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
