Intended Use
The Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner (Model: CProbe; Type: Type C, Type CT, Type CL) is intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body for general clinical applications including obstetrics (OB), gynecology (GY) and general (abdominal) imaging. The part of this device to contact with the patient is the probe head.
Device Description
The Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner (Model: CProbe; Type: Type C, Type L, Type CT, Type CL) is a wireless ultrasound system that uses pulsed-echo technology to transmit ultrasound images via wireless communication to a mobile device that utilizes the iOS operating system. The Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner is a portable, general-purpose, software-controlled, hand-held diagnostic ultrasound system that consists of (i) a commercial off-the-shelf iOS mobile device, (ii) the Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner software that runs as an app on the mobile device, (iii) the battery-operated, hand-held Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner transducer that communicates wirelessly with iOS mobile devices, and (iv) the instructions for use manual, USB Cable for Charging. The Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner utilizes pulsed-echo technology to determine the depth and location of tissue interfaces, and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. Ultrasound waves are emitted from the transducer, propagate through tissues, and return to the transducer as reflected echoes. The returned echoes are then converted into electrical impulses by transducer crystals and further processed in order to form the ultrasound image presented on the screen.
More Information

No
The summary describes standard ultrasound technology and image processing without mentioning AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or specific algorithms typically associated with AI/ML in medical imaging (e.g., automated detection, segmentation, or analysis using learned models). The performance studies section also focuses on standard safety and performance testing, not AI/ML model validation.

No
The device is intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis, not for therapeutic purposes.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device "is intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body." Additionally, the "Device Description" section describes it as a "hand-held diagnostic ultrasound system."

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a battery-operated, hand-held Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner transducer, which is a hardware component responsible for emitting and receiving ultrasound waves. While it includes software, it is not solely software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body for general clinical applications". This describes a device used for in vivo imaging (imaging within the living body), not in vitro testing (testing outside the body, typically on biological samples).
  • Device Description: The description details how the device uses pulsed-echo technology to image tissues within the body. It describes a transducer that contacts the patient and emits and receives ultrasound waves.
  • Modes of Operation: The listed modes (B-mode, BM-mode, Doppler modes) are all standard ultrasound imaging modes used for visualizing structures and blood flow in vivo.
  • Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites (obstetrics, gynecology, general abdominal) are all locations within the human body.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned focus on electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and performance safety related to ultrasound equipment, not on the analytical or clinical performance of a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens such as blood, urine, or tissue samples to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This ultrasound scanner operates by directly imaging the internal structures of the body.

Brief Summary

First, the subject device (Model: CProbe) enjoys identical classification and intended use with the Primary predicate device and Reference device, which forms the foundation of their substantial equivalence.

Secondly, the subject device (Model: CProbe) boasts almost the same technological characteristics with the Primary predicate device. And their slight differences in imaging capacities, image display unit will not affect the coreusage of the two devices, thus will not affecting the substantial equivalence comparison between the two devices that the difference technological characteristics with the Reference Device on imaging capacities is covered. Such fact further supports that the two devices are substantial equivalent.

12

Image /page/12/Picture/0 description: The image contains the logo for SonoStar. The logo features a green star on the left side of the image. To the right of the star is the text "SonoStar" in a green, stylized font.
