It is intended for use in fetal, abdominal, pediatric, small organ(breast, thyroid, testes), neonatal and adult cephalic, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculo-skeletal(conventional, superficial), adult and pediatric cardiac. peripheral vessel and urology exam.

Device Description

The DC-60/DC-60S/DC-60 Exp/DC-55 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a general purpose, software controlled, ultrasonic diagnostic system. Its function is to acquire and display ultrasound images in B-Mode, M-Mode, PW-Mode, CW-mode, Color-Mode, Power/Dirpower Mode, THI, contrast imaging (contrast agent for LVO), iScape, Color M, TDI, 3D/4D mode, Elastography or the combined mode (i.e. B/M-Mode, B/PW-mode, B/PW/Color). This system is a Track 3 device that employs an array of probes that include linear array, convex array, phased array.

AI/ML Overview

This summary details the DC-60/DC-60S/DC-60 Exp/DC-55 Diagnostic Ultrasound System, which is a general-purpose, software-controlled device. The information provided outlines the system's intended uses, various application modes, and different transducers. The document explicitly states that clinical studies were not required or conducted for this 510(k) submission to support substantial equivalence. Therefore, I cannot provide information on acceptance criteria based on clinical performance, a study to prove meeting acceptance criteria in a clinical context, sample sizes for test sets, data provenance, number or qualifications of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, or standalone algorithm performance.

However, the submission does refer to non-clinical tests and standards to support substantial equivalence.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance (Non-Clinical):

The acceptance criteria for non-clinical performance are based on compliance with recognized FDA standards. The reported device performance is that the device conforms to these standards.

Acceptance Criteria (Standard Compliance)Reported Device Performance
AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012, c1:2009/(r)2012 and a2:2010/(r)2012 (consolidated text) medical electrical equipment - part 1: general requirements for basic safety and essential performance (iec 60601-1:2005, mod).Device conforms to the standard.
IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 3: 2007-03, medical electrical equipment - part 1-2: general requirements for basic safety and essential performance - collateral standard: electromagnetic compatibility - requirements and tests.Device conforms to the standard.
IEC 60601-2-37 Edition 2.0 2007, Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-37: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of ultrasonic medical diagnostic and monitoring equipment.Device conforms to the standard.
IEC 62304 Edition 1.1 2015-06, medical device software - software life cycle processes.Device conforms to the standard.
ISO 14971 Second edition 2007-03-01, medical devices - application of risk management to medical devices.Device conforms to the standard.
NEMA UD 2-2004 (R2009), acoustic output measurement standard for diagnostic ultrasound equipment revision 3.Device conforms to the standard (acoustic power levels are below FDA limits).
AAMI / ANSI / ISO 10993-1:2009/(R)2013, biological evaluation of medical devices - part 1: evaluation and testing within a risk management process.Device conforms to the standard (biocompatibility).
Cleaning and disinfection effectiveness standards (specific standard not explicitly listed, but mentioned for conformance)Device conforms to applicable standards.
Thermal, electrical and mechanical safety standards (specific standards not explicitly listed beyond 60601-1, but mentioned for conformance)Device conforms to applicable standards.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable for clinical performance based on the document. For non-clinical tests, the "sample size" refers to the tested device components and systems, which are assumed to be representative of the manufactured product. Specific quantities are not provided, but the testing would have been conducted on a sufficient number of units to demonstrate compliance with the referenced standards.
  • Data Provenance: The tests are non-clinical and conducted by the manufacturer, Shenzhen Mindray Bio-medical Electronics Co., LTD, in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. The data would be prospective, generated specifically for this submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

Not applicable in the context of clinical performance, as no clinical studies were performed. For non-clinical engineering and safety tests, the "ground truth" is established by the validated methods outlined in the respective standards. The expertise would lie with the engineers and technicians performing the tests and validating the equipment according to these standards.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

Not applicable for clinical performance. For non-clinical tests, adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are not typically used. Compliance is generally determined by whether the device meets the pass/fail criteria of the specified technical standards.

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:

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The document explicitly states: "The subject of this submission... does not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable as an AI algorithm for clinical decision-making is not mentioned as a core component of this ultrasound system's substantial equivalence claim in the provided text. The device is described as an "ultrasonic diagnostic system" with software control and various imaging modes, not an AI for interpretation.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

Not applicable for clinical performance. For non-clinical tests, the "ground truth" is typically the established physical or electrical properties measured against the specifications and limits defined by industry standards (e.g., acoustic output measurements, EMI limits, biocompatibility profiles).

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable, as no AI/machine learning algorithm requiring a training set for clinical interpretation is described or validated in this submission for substantial equivalence.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Not applicable, as there is no mention of a training set or AI/machine learning algorithm for clinical interpretation.

§ 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.
