No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and acoustic properties of a microbial barrier and acoustic couplant, with no mention of data processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities.
No
Explanation: The device is intended as a microbial barrier and to facilitate acoustic coupling for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is a microbial barrier and acoustic coupling aid for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, not a diagnostic device itself. Its purpose is to facilitate the diagnostic imaging procedure by providing a sterile field and acoustic coupling, rather than producing a diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components (pad with multiple layers, cover) and their material properties and physical testing (biocompatibility, viral penetration, water leak, acoustic impedance, etc.). It is a physical medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is described as a "microbial barrier between the patient and medical imaging electronics" and for "diagnostic ultrasound imaging." This clearly indicates a device used during an imaging procedure to facilitate the transmission of sound waves and provide a sterile barrier.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical layers of the pad and cover, the acoustic coupling properties, and its function as a barrier. It does not mention any components or processes related to the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.
- Input Imaging Modality: The input is diagnostic ultrasound imaging, which is an in vivo imaging technique, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on physical properties, barrier function, acoustic characteristics, and biocompatibility, which are relevant to a medical device used during imaging, not an IVD.
In summary, the Envision cover and pad are accessories used with an ultrasound imaging system to improve image quality and maintain sterility during the procedure. They do not perform any diagnostic testing on biological specimens, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Envision cover and Envision pad are intended as a microbial barrier between the patient and medical imaging electronics.
The Envision cover and Envision pad are used, without the need for ultrasound coupling gel, in adult and pediatric patients, for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, in sterile fields, that currently use an ultrasound coupling gel or fluid alone or in combination with a protective transducer cover, including ultrasound guided venous access, ultrasound imaging over surgical wounds, during transcutaneous biopsy; for intraoperative, endocavity, or transutaneous imaging procedures; or to enhance acoustic coupling to difficult geometries.

Device Description
The Envision Ultrasound pad and Envision Ultrasound cover (Envision) are microbial barriers for use during ultrasound procedures. The Envision device contains a coating that facilitates the acoustic coupling between the patient and ultrasound equipment without the need for traditionally ultrasound gel. This enables the clean transmission of sound waves between the transducer and patient without the mess of gels.
The Envision Ultrasound pad is comprised of four layers. The first layer is a crack and peel release liner that is removed by the customer to expose the adhesive layer (second layer) that sticks to the patient or the transducer within the cover. The third layer is a film carrier layer to hold the adhesive and coating layers together. The final layer is the coating layer, which is the acoustic couplant layer and is activated by using hydrating media, such as saline.
The Envision pad is sold as both a standalone pad and also sold as an integrated ultrasound cover (cover). The cover is a traditional CIVCO ultrasound cover, where one end of the cover is cut out, and the Envision pad, cut down to size, is sealed to the cover at the location of the cut out.

Summary of Performance Studies
Non-Clinical Tests Performed:
- Biocompatibility: The Envision devices met ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility requirements for limited contact duration for surface devices of breached or compromised surface and external communicating indirect blood path/tissue contact: Cytotoxicity - ISO 10993-5; Sensitization - ISO 10993-10; Irritation ISO 10993-10; Acute Systemic Toxicity ISO 10993-11; Hemolysis - ASTM F 756; Subcutaneous Implantation - ISO 10993-6; Material Mediated Pyrogenicity - ISO 10993-11.
- Viral Penetration: The Envision pad's ability to withstand viral penetration was performed to evaluate the barrier performance of the Envision pad material in accordance with ASTM F1671-13.
- Water leak testing: Water leak testing was performed to demonstrate material strength and elasticity of the Envision device.
- Acoustic Impedance: The measurement of acoustic impedance was performed to compare the acoustic characteristics of the Envision pad to the predicate cover with ultrasound coupling gel.
- Acoustic/Sound Velocity: The measurement of the acoustic velocity was calculated from the acoustic impedance and density to compare the acoustic velocity of the Envision pad to the predicate cover with ultrasound coupling gel.
- Physical and Chemical Characteristics: The density and pH of the Envision pad coating was measured for comparison to the ultrasound coupling gel, which would be used with the predicate device.
- Simulated Use Testing: Simulated use testing was performed to ensure the design of the Envision conforms to the user needs and intended use.
- Packaging and Shelf-life: The Envision packaging was validated per ISO 11607-2 and ISTA 2A to ensure the packaging maintains its integrity over the course of the device's shelf-life. Accelerated aging in support of a one-year shelf life was completed in accordance with ASTM F1980-16.
- Rehydration Testing: The Envision devices were subjected to multiple rounds of rehydration and tested to ensure the devices would withstand multiple rounds of rehydration and perform as intended.
- Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Validation and Residuals Testing: The Envision devices are validated per ISO 11135 to ensure that the devices meet the required sterility assurance level, so the devices remain adequately free from viable microorganisms following sterilization. The Envision devices are 2x Ethylene Oxide sterilized and tested to ensure that residuals from the Ethylene Oxide cycle do not exceed the limits per ISO 10993-7.
Clinical Test Performed: Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

9. Comparison of Indications to the Legally Marketed Device:
The proposed Envision devices have the same intended use, of being a microbial barrier, as the legally marketed device. Any differences in the indications for use statement would not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device because the safety and efficacy related to the indicated procedures is dictated by the use of the underlying ultrasound equipment, and the ultrasound pad and cover is secondary to the ultrasound use. Any questions related to safety and effectiveness of the Envision pad and cover have been addressed using the same testing performed by the legally marketed device, including biocompatibility, viral penetration, and material strength and elasticity studies.
