More Information

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other indication of AI/ML technology.

No
The device is described as a "Diagnostic Ultrasound System" and its intended uses are for "ultrasound evaluation" and to "acquire and display ultrasound data in various imaging modes." It does not mention any therapeutic functions.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that the device is a "Diagnostic Ultrasound System".

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "main unit along with associated transducers," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Acclarix LX9 Series/ Acclarix AX8 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is an ultrasound system. Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures. It does not involve testing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the system being used for "ultrasound evaluation" of various anatomical sites within the body. This is consistent with in-vivo imaging, not in-vitro testing.

Therefore, the device is a diagnostic imaging system, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

    1. Acclarix LX9 series does not support C5-2XQ, L10-40, P5-1XO and C5-2MQ transducers, which were cleared in Acclarix AX8 (K180862).
    1. Acclarix LX9 series additionally supports Contrast Imaging mode for Liver on C5-1Q transducers, and the Contrast Imaging mode is substantially equivalent to the reference predicate device DC-80 (K173471).

The subject and predicate devices have similar design features and performance specifications. The technological differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.

10. Performance Data:

Clinical test:

Clinical testing is not required.
