More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related terms, and the description focuses on standard ultrasound imaging modes and processing.

No
The device is described as an "ultrasound imaging system" and a "diagnostic ultrasound system," intended for viewing anatomical structures and providing information for clinical diagnosis purposes, not for treating conditions.

Yes
The "Device Description" section states, "The ACUSON SC2000 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a multi-purpose mobile, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system." The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section also mentions that the system provides "calculation packages that provide information to the clinician that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "multi-purpose mobile, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system" and mentions the function of transmitting and receiving ultrasound echo data, which requires hardware components (transducers).

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for ultrasound imaging and provides measurements and calculations that are used adjunctively with other medical data for clinical diagnosis. This means the device is providing imaging information and supporting data, not performing tests on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details how the system transmits and receives ultrasound waves to create images and display them in various modes. This is consistent with an imaging device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

In summary, the SC2000 ultrasound imaging system is a medical imaging device used for visualizing internal structures, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological samples.
