The ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System is intended for use by qualified physicians, physician assistants, sonographers and ultrasound technicians in a healthcare facility for diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body in B-Mode (2D), Color Flow Imaging Modes (Color Doppler and Power Doppler) and Combined (B-Mode + CFI Modes). The indications for use are:
- Small Organ
- Transrectal ●
- Abdominal ●
The ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System is intended for use by qualified medical professionals for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, data processing and guidance of puncture and biopsy. The ExactVu System comprises of transducers responsible for ultrasound signal generation and recording, needle guides and a main unit that controls the transducers, processes the acoustic data, and processes and displays images.
The provided document describes the FDA 510(k) summary for the ExactVu™ High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System (K192303). It outlines the device, its intended use, comparison to a predicate device, and non-clinical performance testing.
However, the document explicitly states:
"This technology is not new; therefore, a clinical study was not considered necessary prior to release. The substantial equivalence of the device is supported by the nonclinical testing."
This means that the provided text does not contain any information about a clinical study involving the device's performance against acceptance criteria in a real-world setting with human subjects, AI assistance, or expert readers. The document focuses solely on non-clinical performance testing (e.g., functional verification, human factors, biocompatibility, electrical safety, acoustic testing) to establish substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device.
Therefore, I cannot provide answers to the requested points that pertain to clinical study data, such as:
- A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance from a clinical study.
- Sample size used for a test set (clinical).
- Number of experts and qualifications for ground truth establishment.
- Adjudication method for a clinical test set.
- MRMC comparative effectiveness study results.
- Standalone (algorithm only) performance.
- Type of ground truth used (clinical).
- Sample size for the training set (clinical).
- How ground truth for the training set was established (clinical).
Based on the provided text, the device's acceptance was based on non-clinical performance testing demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not on a clinical study with a test set, expert readers, or AI performance metrics.

Dear Prithul Bom:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for
{1}------------------------------------------------
devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Summary of Technological Comparisons:
The ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System is an enhanced implementation of the previous FDA-cleared version of ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System.
The primary function of both devices is for diagnostic ultrasound imaging, data processing and quidance of puncture and biopsy. The primary difference between ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound and the predicate device is enhanced functionality through the introduction of a new accessory and minor workflow improvements.
Main advantages compared to the predicate device are:
- Minor workflow improvements: bugs fixed and EV29L angle reset. .
- Additional support for Transperineal Biopsies. ●
There are no known disadvantages.
ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound System remains substantially unchanged from the predicate with respect to its intended use and performance claims.

Clinical Testing
This technology is not new; therefore, a clinical study was not considered necessary prior to release. The substantial equivalence of the device is supported by the nonclinical testing.
Conclusion
ExactVu High Resolution Micro-Ultrasound has been shown through comparison and performance testing to be substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device. Any technological differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
