Intended Use
The TCD-X is a transcranial Doppler device intended for recording non-invasively Doppler signals from intracranial vessels: -For the display and measurement of cerebral artery blood flow velocities to determine the presence of hemodynanically significant deviations from normal values. -For the detection of micro-embolic signals. TCD-X has the ability to be used as Holter mode on ambulatory patients. The robotic probe facilitates monitoring use by its ability to track Doppler signal all along recording time. The device is not intended to replace other means of evaluating vital patient physiological processes.
Device Description
The TCD-X system is a unilateral, non-invasive Transcranial Portable or body-worn Ultrasound Diagnosis Doppler. It is designed to non-invasively measure and display major transcranial vessels blood flow velocities that supply the brain. The system can also provide potential embolic events count. It is composed by a recorder module, a robotized probe, a hand held probe and associated components (three available sizes for spectacle frames, small carrying bag, SD card, battery charger, USB cable). TCD-X module needs to be connected to an external computer for its display, processing, archiving records and printing. All probes are reusable, non invasive and non sterile. TCD-X can be fitted by one probe at a time. It is fitted with 2MHz PW robotized monitoring probe, and 2MHz PW hand held probe. The robotized probe has the ability to adjust its angle automatically to search the Doppler signal. When the Doppler signal becomes weaker during its recording, the orientation of the robotized probe can be adjusted automatically to retrieve a good quality signal. TCD-X can be used in two modes: Holter mode or Desktop TCD mode. The Holter mode is used on ambulatory patient. During the recording of the transcranial Doppler signal, the TCD-X is placed on the patient in a shoulder bag. The transcranial Doppler signal is recorded on a SD card. The recorded Doppler signal display and processing are made after examination on the computer. The desktop TCD mode is a common conventional mode used for all TCD ultrasound Doppler. This mode allows the user to display the transcranial Doppler signal in real time. During this mode, the TCD-X remains connected to the PC via an isolated USB, the patient is immobile and the recording is done directly on the PC hard disk. The Doppler signal processing and printing is also possible after the end of real time recording.
More Information

No
The description mentions automatic adjustment of the robotic probe to track the Doppler signal, but this appears to be a form of automated control based on signal strength, not necessarily AI/ML for complex pattern recognition or prediction. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms in the document.

No

The device is intended for recording and displaying blood flow velocities and detecting micro-embolic signals, which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic interventions.

Yes

The device is intended for "determining the presence of hemodynamically significant deviations from normal values" and "detection of micro-embolic signals," which are diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is composed of hardware components including a recorder module, robotized probe, hand held probe, spectacle frames, carrying bag, SD card, battery charger, and USB cable. It is a physical ultrasound device with associated software for display, processing, archiving, and printing.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
  • TCD-X Function: The TCD-X is a transcranial Doppler device that uses ultrasound to non-invasively measure blood flow velocities within the intracranial vessels. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The TCD-X is a medical device used for diagnostic purposes, but it falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices, as it interacts directly with the patient's body to obtain information.

ட Description

The TCD-X system is a unilateral, non-invasive Transcranial Portable or body-worn Ultrasound Diagnosis Doppler. It is designed to non-invasively measure and display major transcranial vessels blood flow velocities that supply the brain. The system can also provide potential embolic events count.

It is composed by a recorder module, a robotized probe, a hand held probe and associated components (three available sizes for spectacle frames, small carrying bag, SD card, battery charger, USB cable).

TCD-X module needs to be connected to an external computer for its display, processing, archiving records and printing.

All probes are reusable, non invasive and non sterile. TCD-X can be fitted by one probe at a time.

It is fitted with 2MHz PW robotized monitoring probe, and 2MHz PW hand held probe.

The robotized probe has the ability to adjust its angle automatically to search the Doppler signal. When the Doppler signal becomes weaker during its recording, the orientation of the robotized probe can be adjusted automatically to retrieve a good quality signal.

TCD-X can be used in two modes: Holter mode or Desktop TCD mode.

The Holter mode is used on ambulatory patient. During the recording of the transcranial Doppler signal, the TCD-X is placed on the patient in a shoulder bag. The transcranial Doppler signal is recorded on a SD card. The recorded Doppler signal display and processing are made after examination on the computer.

The desktop TCD mode is a common conventional mode used for all TCD ultrasound Doppler. This mode allows the user to display the transcranial Doppler signal in real time. During this mode, the TCD-X remains connected to the PC via an isolated USB, the patient is immobile and the recording is done directly on the PC hard disk. The Doppler signal processing and printing is also possible after the end of real time recording.
