Device Description
The Aplio a550 Model CUS-AA550, Aplio a450 Model CUS-AA450 and Aplio a Model CUS-AA000 are mobile diagnostic ultrasound systems. These systems are Track 3 devices that employ a wide array of probes including flat linear array, convex linear array, and sector array with frequency ranges between approximately 2 MHz to 20 MHz.
More Information

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on standard ultrasound imaging modes and features.

No.
The device is indicated for the visualization of structures and dynamic processes using ultrasound and to provide image information for diagnosis, not for therapeutic purposes.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is "to provide image information for diagnosis." Furthermore, the "Device Description" clearly identifies the systems as "mobile diagnostic ultrasound systems."

No

The device is described as a "mobile diagnostic ultrasound system" and explicitly mentions employing "a wide array of probes," which are hardware components essential for ultrasound imaging.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, outside of the body. They are used to diagnose diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a "Diagnostic Ultrasound System" used for "visualization of structures, and dynamic processes with the human body using ultrasound." This involves using sound waves to create images of internal body parts within the living patient.
  • No Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient. The device operates by interacting directly with the patient's body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Tadeo:

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

The subject device includes modifications to the cleared device which improves upon existing features.

This submission also includes details regarding new features determined to be substantially equivalent to features cleared under the predicate devices referenced within this submission. The Aplio a550, Aplio a450 and Aplio a, V5.1 and predicate Aplio a550, Aplio a450, and Aplio a,

  • . V4.0 have the same clinical intended use and the same imaging modes, except that Thoracic/Pleural is now available on several transducers on Aplio a550, and Aplio a, V5.1, and Shear Wave Elastography mode was expanded to include musculo-skeletal clinical use.
  • . The transducers supported in the subject Aplio a550, and Aplio a and predicate Aplio a550, Aplio a450 and Aplio a are identical, except for the addition of the new transducer PST-65BT which was previously cleared with reference predicate Aplio i900/i800/i700, V4.0, K191467 and shares the same fundamental technological and biocompatibility characteristics as existing transducers supported by the subject system.
  • The software features supported in subject Aplio a550, and Aplio a and predicate Aplio a550, Aplio a450, and Aplio a are identical except the following main, new features:
