Device Description
The Model AiVUS 1000 is a transducer guiding adjunct which is intended to work in combination with specified legally marketed Ultrasound Diagnostic System (MyLab Gamma, K161359) and Transducer (SL1543, K132231) and previously released exam tables. The Model AiVUS 1000 system is comprised of a patient scanning system and display system. The Model AiVUS 1000 performs an automatic scan of the breast(s) using a probe guiding mechanism(s) imbedded within the scan module. The imbedded system software plots the path of the automated scan, records the ultrasonic images from paired ultrasound system, and has the capability to both display the real-time B-mode ultrasonic images acquired and after the fact review of the breast exam in DICOM supported file format as a means of providing adjunctive information after a patient obtains a mammogram. This adjunctive information may be useful to physicians wishing to have additional information to make diagnoses of any abnormalities detected. The patient scanning system consists of a scan module and associated assembly and electronics. The scan module is centered above a patient's breast and then performs scanning by using the ultrasound linear transducer arrays. While scanning, the real-time images are acquired by video frame grabber. Acquired images are then reconstructed by the Model AIVUS 1000 system software to display the breast images on the Model AIVUS 1000 display system. The Model AiVUS 1000 display system has two adjustable touch panels and associated assembly and electronics.
More Information

No
The summary describes an automated ultrasound scanning system that acquires and reconstructs images, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used for image analysis, interpretation, or diagnosis. The system is described as an adjunct for image acquisition and review, not for automated detection or analysis of abnormalities.

No.

The device is indicated for imaging and diagnosis, specifically as an adjunct to mammography for B-mode ultrasonic imaging, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes

The device aids in making diagnoses by visually reconstructing ultrasonic images for review, providing adjunctive information to assist doctors in diagnosing abnormalities.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of a patient scanning system and display system, which include hardware components like a scan module, associated assembly and electronics, and adjustable touch panels. While software is a key component for image processing and control, the device is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, 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.
  • Device Function: The MedNovel Model AiVUS 1000 is an ultrasound imaging system adjunct. It uses ultrasonic imaging (a non-invasive technique using sound waves) to create images of the breast. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "B-mode ultrasonic imaging of patient's breast" and is an "adjunct to mammography". This is consistent with medical imaging, not in vitro testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a "patient scanning system" and "display system" that acquire and display ultrasonic images. This aligns with imaging technology.

Therefore, the MedNovel Model AiVUS 1000 falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device DescriptionThe Model AiVUS 1000 is a transducer guiding adjunct which is intended
to work in combination with specified legally marketed Ultrasound
Diagnostic System (MyLab Gamma, K161359) and Transducer (SL1543,
K132231) and previously released exam tables.

The Model AiVUS 1000 system is comprised of a patient scanning system
and display system.

The Model AiVUS 1000 performs an automatic scan of the breast(s) using
a probe guiding mechanism(s) imbedded within the scan module. The
imbedded system software plots the path of the automated scan, records
the ultrasonic images from paired ultrasound system, and has the
capability to both display the real-time B-mode ultrasonic images acquired
and after the fact review of the breast exam in DICOM supported file
format as a means of providing adjunctive information after a patient
obtains a mammogram. This adjunctive information may be useful to
physicians wishing to have additional information to make diagnoses of
any abnormalities detected.

The patient scanning system consists of a scan module and associated
assembly and electronics. The scan module is centered above a patient's
breast and then performs scanning by using the ultrasound linear
transducer arrays. While scanning, the real-time images are acquired by
video frame grabber. Acquired images are then reconstructed by the
Model AIVUS 1000 system software to display the breast images on the
Model AIVUS 1000 display system.

The Model AiVUS 1000 display system has two adjustable touch panels
and associated assembly and electronics. | |
| Intended Use/
Indication for use | The MedNovel Model AIVUS 1000 is indicated for use as an adjunct to
mammography for B-mode ultrasonic imaging of patient's breast when
used with an automatic scanning linear array probe. The device is not
intended to be used as a replacement for mammography.

It is an adjunct (add on) accessory for existing ultrasound imaging
systems and is intended to control position and movement of ultrasound | |
| | transducers for the systematic acquisition of 2 dimensional image slices
throughout a volume of interest. | |
| | The MedNovel Model AiVUS 1000 system is capable of visually
reconstructing the ultrasonic images for review with DICOM type files
which will assist the doctor in making diagnoses of any abnormalities
detected. | |
| Technology &
Fundamental
Scientific
Technology | The Model AiVUS 1000 system works together with legally approved
ultrasound imaging systems (LAUIS). The Model AiVUS 1000 system
acquires real-time B-mode ultrasonic images by video connection from the
LAUIS. While scanning, the Model AiVUS 1000 system moves the
transducer along the planned path inside the region of interest specified
by the operator. After the scanning, the acquired images are reconstructed
and stored as a multi-frame DICOM file.
The AIVUS 1000 system is intended for acquiring ultrasound images only.
Tools for evaluating abnormalities identified (size, location, etc.) are
contained in the workstation software which is a standalone product and
will be submitted for clearance later. | |
| Determination of
Substantial
Equivalence | MedNovel Tech claims that the Model AiVUS 1000 system is substantially
equivalent to the predicate devices (K081148 – Acuson S2000 ABVS
Ultrasound System, K141870 – Breast Volume Navigator and K963807
TomTec Echo-Scan). MedNovel Tech claims this equivalence because
the proposed device has an equivalent intended use, manufacturing
materials, operating principles, and physical and operational specifications
compared to the predicate devices. | |
| | This comparison of the specifications demonstrates the functional
equivalence of the products. The difference discussed in the above
chapters includes: (Details please see Section 12)
• working mechanism
• structure
• electric and environment requirements
• connectivity | |
| | • connection to ultrasound system
The safety concerns about structure, main power, connectivity and
connection to ultrasound system could be addressed by TUV report. As to
working mechanism, safety concerns come from image distortion, which
has been addressed in the Risk Management File (39, 40, 42, 43, 44, 45)
for the device. | |
| | In all, the differences discussed in this section do not raise new issues of
safety and effectiveness. Verification testing demonstrated that no
adverse effects have been introduced by these differences. | |
| | Therefore, MedNovel believes that the Model AiVUS 1000 is as safe and | |
| | | effective and performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the
predicate device(s). |
| Summary of Non-
Clinical Tests | | The Model AiVUS 1000 systems has been evaluated for biocompatibility,
as well as electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety, and has been
found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards. The
Model AIVUS 1000 systems complies with voluntary standards and FDA

| | Performance Testing: | |
| | Verification testing was performed in Image Simulation Tests on breast
phantoms. All items in the test plan were verified and passed. | |
| | Clinical sample images in appendix H were provided to support the ability
of proposed Model AiVUS 1000 to generate diagnostic quality images that
are at least as good as those of the current standard of care, handheld
ultrasound examination. | |
| | Additionally, verification/validation tests results metrics DOC0000101 Rev
A have been performed to address intended use, the technical claims,
requirement specifications and the risk management results. The results
demonstrate that the Model AiVUS 1000: | |
| | • Complies with the aforementioned international and FDA-
recognized consensus standards and FDA guidance documents.
• Meet the accept criteria and is adequate for its intended use. | |
| | The results of these performance tests indicate that the Model AiVUS
1000 is substantially equivalent to the listed predicate devices (Acuson
S2000 ABVS Ultrasound System (K081148), Breast Volume
Navigator(K141870), TomTec ECHO-SCAN(K963807). | |
| Summary of
Clinical Tests | The proposed Model AiVUS 1000 system did not require formal clinical
study since substantial equivalence to the legally marketed predicate
device was proven with the verification/validation testing. | |
| | However, clinical sample images are used as an output to confirm that the
indication for use for the device is met. In the performance of these tests
the Model AiVUS 1000 system met the defined criteria for success. In
addition, since different size of breast types (A, B, C, D cup size) and
different subject ethnicities (Han, Caucasoid, African) with a variety of
lesions were captured during the collection of the clinical sample image
data, all the indication for use are evidenced. The proposed indication for
use is satisfied. | |
| Conclusion | In summary, these data support the claim that the design, intended use,
technology and principal technological components of the proposed Model
AIVUS 1000 are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed primary
predicate device ABVS (K081148) and two referenced devices (K141870
and K963807). Based on the information provided above, the proposed | |
