The Vivid T9 / Vivid T8 is intended for ultrasound imaging, measurement and analysis of the human body for multiple clinical applications including: Fetal/OB, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ, Cardiac, Peripheral Vascular, Adult Cephalic, Neonatal Cephalic, Musculosketal Superficial/Conventional, Transrectal, Transvaginal, Transesophageal, Intraoperative and Tissue Biopsy.

Device Description

The Vivid T9 / Vivid T8 is a high performance digital ultrasound imaging system with total data management. The system provides image generation in 2D (B) Mode, Color Doppler, Power Doppler (Angio), M-Mode, Color M-Mode, PW and CW Doppler spectral, Tissue Velocity imaging, advanced Strain and Contrast applications. The fully digital architecture of the Vivid T9 / Vivid T8 unit allows optimal usage of all scanning modes and probe types, throughout the full spectrum of operating frequencies.

AI/ML Overview

The document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission for the GE Vivid T8 and Vivid T9 ultrasound systems. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices rather than proving performance against specific acceptance criteria through new clinical studies.

Based on the provided text, there are no specific acceptance criteria or a study detailed that directly proves the device meets such criteria in terms of diagnostic accuracy or effectiveness. Instead, the submission focuses on comparing the new device to predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

Here's a breakdown of the information that can be extracted, particularly in relation to the questions asked, even if direct answers for "acceptance criteria" and "study proving it" are not present:

  1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
    Not applicable in the direct sense of a new study with explicit performance metrics against acceptance criteria. The document claims "performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s)" based on similar technology, intended use, imaging capabilities, and safety/effectiveness. The performance comparison is implicitly tied to the cleared performance of the predicate device.

  2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
    The document states: "The subject of this premarket submission, Vivid T8 / Vivid T9, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." Therefore, no test set sample size, data provenance, or study type (retrospective/prospective) is provided for a new clinical performance study.

  3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience):
    Since no new clinical studies were conducted to establish performance against ground truth, this information is not available in the document.

  4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
    Not applicable, as no new clinical performance study was conducted.

  5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
    Not applicable. This is a submission for a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. No MRMC study is mentioned.

  6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
    Not applicable. This is not an algorithm-only device.

  7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
    Not applicable, as no new clinical performance study was required. The "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is based on the previously established safety and effectiveness of the predicate devices.

  8. The sample size for the training set:
    Not applicable for a clinical training set, as no new clinical studies were conducted. The device's "training" refers to its design and evaluation based on engineering principles and comparison to existing, cleared technologies.

  9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
    Not applicable.

Summary of what the document focuses on instead:

The submission relies on demonstrating Substantial Equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices, primarily the Vivid T8 (K160078), Vivid E95 (K170823), Vivid iq (K161706), and Vscan Extend (K180995), along with other LOGIQ systems for specific transducer applications.

The key points for establishing substantial equivalence are:

  • Intended Use: The Vivid T9 / Vivid T8 shares the same intended use as predicate devices: ultrasound imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body for multiple clinical applications (Fetal/OB, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ, Cardiac, Peripheral Vascular, Adult/Neonatal Cephalic, Musculoskeletal Superficial/Conventional, Transcranial, Transrectal, Transvaginal, Transesophageal, Intraoperative, and Tissue Biopsy).
  • Technological Characteristics: The device employs the same fundamental scientific technology as its predicate devices.
  • Imaging Modes: Identical imaging modes to the predicate Vivid T8 (K160078).
  • Transducers: Similar transducers, with new additions (C1-5-RS and E8Cs-RS for Vivid T9) and expanded applications for existing transducers (e.g., Intraoperative for L8-18i-RS, and various clinical applications for 4C-RS, 8C-RS, 3Sc-RS, 6S-RS, 12S-RS, 9T-RS, L8-18i-RS, C1-5-RS, E8Cs-RS) that were cleared on other predicate systems.
  • New Features: New features like Virtual convex, QuickApps, Cardiac AutoDoppler, Virtual Apex, Strain and Strain Rate, and Pediatric Z-score (expanded data) were cleared in predicate Vivid E95 (K170823). Tricefy Uplink was cleared with predicate Vscan Extend (K180995). Improvements were made to AFI and Auto EF, which were cleared on predicate Vivid T8 (K160078).
  • Safety and Performance: The systems are manufactured with safe materials, have acoustic power levels below FDA limits, and comply with approved electrical and physical safety standards (AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37, ISO10993-1, NEMA UD 2, ISO14971, NEMA DICOM). Quality assurance measures (Risk Analysis, Requirements/Design Reviews, various levels of testing) are applied.

Conclusion: The document explicitly states that the device "did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." This means that the acceptance criteria are largely met by demonstrating that the device is as safe and effective as existing, legally marketed ultrasound systems, based on an engineering and feature-by-feature comparison rather than a new clinical trial with specific performance metrics.
