The summary describes a standard ultrasound system with basic image display and user-adjustable parameters. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing features that would indicate the use of such technologies.
No
The device is described as an "ultrasound imaging system" intended for "diagnostic ultrasound imaging." Its purpose is to display ultrasound B-mode images for diagnostic tasks, not for treating conditions.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The Dolphin Medical Imaging USB Ultrasound System is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging in B mode."
No
The device description explicitly states that the system is "physically comprised of the FDA-cleared Interson SP-L01 USB ultrasound probe (K163443)" in addition to the software. This indicates a hardware component is integral to the device's function.
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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The Dolphin Medical Imaging USB Ultrasound System is an ultrasound imaging system. It uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures. It does not analyze biological specimens.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "diagnostic ultrasound imaging" for various anatomical sites. This is a form of in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic imaging, not in vitro.
Therefore, while it is a diagnostic medical device, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Dolphin Medical Imaging Ultrasound System ("DMI US") is a self-contained, solid-state portable ultrasound imaging system, physically comprised of the FDA-cleared Interson SP-L01 USB ultrasound probe (K163443), which is used in connection with the DMI US application software. The system contains an ultrasound generator/receiver, analog to digital converter, microcontroller, control logic, USB 2.0 interface, B-mode imaging and application software providing the user interface.
The DMI US application software provides a task-oriented graphical user interface that runs on a personal computer with a USB 2.0 (or greater) port and the Windows 10 operating system. The user-selectable tasks supported are peripheral intravenous access and central venous access. The software application displays the ultrasound B-mode image at a depth appropriate for the selected task.
The initial operational settings of the probe and/or application are preprogrammed in the system. User-customized parameter settings for each probe and/or application may be set by the operator and stored for recall as needed via the software user interface. Customization includes changing image brightness (gain), changing depth and freezing/unfreezing the ultrasound image. The system uses a probe with solid-state ultrasound array transducers which provide high resolution, high penetration performance.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Ms. 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
