Intended Use

The ACUSON Juniper ultrasound imaging system is intended to provide images of, or signals from, inside the body by an appropriately trained healthcare professional in a clinical setting for the following applications: Abdominal, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Small Parts, Pediatric, Neonatal, Vascular, Urology, Echocardiography, Musculoskeletal, and Intraoperative applications using different ultrasound transducers for different applications. The system also provides the ability to measure anatomical structures and provides analysis packages that provide information used by a physician for clinical diagnostic purposes.

Ultrasound is used as an imaging aid, but may have further restrictions specific to in vitro fertilization (IVF), chorionic villus sampling (CVS), and percutaneous umbilical cord blood sampling (PUBS) procedures. Observe local laws and regulations.

The Arterial Health Package (AHP) software provides the physician with the capability to measure Intima Media Thickness and the option to reference normative tables that have been validated and published in peer-reviewed studies. The information is intended to provide the physician with an easily understood tool for communicating with patients regarding state of their cardiovascular system.

This feature can be utilized according to the "ASE Consensus Statement; Use of Carotid Ultrasound to Identify Subclinical Vascular Disease and Evaluate Cardiovascular Disease Risk: A Consensus Statement from the American Society of Echocardiography Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Task Force. Endorsed by the Society for Vascular Medicine."

Device Description

The ACUSON Juniper Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a multi-purpose mobile, software controlled, diagnostic ultrasound systems with an on-screen display for thermal and mechanical indices related to potential bio-effect mechanisms. Its function is to acquire harmonic ultrasound echo data and display it in B-Mode, M-Mode, Pulsed (PW) Doppler Mode, Continuous (CW) Doppler Mode, Color Doppler Mode, Color M mode, Doppler Tissue Image, Amplitude Doppler Mode, a combination of modes, or Harmonic Imaging and 3D Imaging, or Harmonic Imaging and 4D imaging on a Flat Panel Display.

The 13L4 needle guide kit is newly introduced on this submission.

AI/ML Overview

This document, K201130, is a 510(k) premarket notification for the ACUSON Juniper Diagnostic Ultrasound System. It asserts substantial equivalence to previously cleared devices.

Based on the provided text, there is no acceptance criteria or study data for AI/ML-driven features because this 510(k) is for a diagnostic ultrasound system and does not describe an AI/ML-driven device. The relevant sections of a typical AI/ML submission (e.g., acceptance criteria, test set details, ground truth establishment, or clinical studies demonstrating AI performance) are therefore absent.

The document discusses the system's intended use for various diagnostic ultrasound applications and its technological characteristics compared to predicate devices. It states that "clinical data is not required to support substantial equivalence" because the device uses the "same technology and principles as existing devices." This statement further confirms that no new clinical performance studies, such as those that would be conducted for AI/ML device validation, were performed or required for this submission.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for acceptance criteria and a study proving a device meets these criteria for an AI/ML product based on this K201130 document.

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.
