The device description states, "The ATUSA™ Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound System is a battery operated Track 3 diagnostic ultrasound system intended for imaging of the breast."
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an automated ultrasound scanner, positioning accessory, and charger base, in addition to the software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, solely or principally for the purpose of providing information concerning a physiological state, state of health, or disease or congenital abnormality.
- Device Function: The ATUSA™ Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound System is an imaging device. It uses ultrasound technology to create images of the breast tissue in vivo (within the living body).
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "B-mode ultrasonic imaging of a patient's breast." This is a diagnostic imaging procedure, not an in vitro test on a specimen.
- Device Description: The components described (scanner, transducer, positioning accessory, software) are all consistent with an ultrasound imaging system, not an IVD.
Therefore, the ATUSA™ Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound System falls under the category of a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The ATUSA™ Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound System is a battery operated Track 3 diagnostic ultrasound system intended for imaging of the breast. The device utilizes B-mode grayscale ultrasound via an automated linear transducer and consists of the following components:
-
- Automated ultrasound scanner that integrates all hardware components including the transducer, electronics, and mechanical parts in a compact form factor. The scanner connects to a laptop via USB cable and automatically captures ultrasound images of the breast volume;
-
- Positioning accessory that includes a pair of expandable cups, disposable straps, drain bags and mesh. The expandable cups are assembled as a wearable accessory with disposable straps to form the breast tissue conveniently in the field of view of the scanner and facilitate reproducible positioning of the scanner on the breast. The expandable cups come in different sizes to accommodate a range of breast sizes;
-
- Charger base for wirelessly charging the scanner battery;
-
- Software application to control the scanner operation, to acquire and display the images in realtime, and to perform advanced image processing, 3D reconstruction and visualization in various image planes.

-
- Positioning accessory that includes a pair of expandable cups, disposable straps, drain bags and mesh. The expandable cups are assembled as a wearable accessory with disposable straps to form the breast tissue conveniently in the field of view of the scanner and facilitate reproducible positioning of the scanner on the breast. The expandable cups come in different sizes to accommodate a range of breast sizes;
-
- Charger base for wirelessly charging the scanner battery;
-
- Software application to control the scanner operation, to acquire and display the images in realtime, and to perform advanced image processing, 3D reconstruction and visualization in various image planes.
STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE: a5
The device is indicated for use as a B-mode ultrasonic imaging system for imaging of a patient's breast when used with an automatic scanning linear array transducer. The device is not intended to be used as a replacement for screening mammography.
Operator: Trained Healthcare Professional
Patient population: Ages 18 and above
Environment of use: Facilities where healthcare is provided - e.g. hospitals, clinics, physician offices, mobile care units.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTIC COMPARISON: a6
Both the subject and predicate devices are diagnostic ultrasound devices. Ultrasound imaging is based on the use of a device which converts electrical energy to sound, emits the sound waves into the target tissue and 'listens' for the return echo which is converted back to electrical pulses and processed into an image. In both devices the transducer is controlled by a computer via proprietary software.
The subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological principles:
- . B mode diagnostic ultrasound imaging via the use of an automated linear transducer to acquire serial 2D grayscale images of the entire breast
- . Software controlled ultrasound image capture and processing
- Use previously cleared linear array transducers
- Breast tissue is immersed in fluid environment

iSono Health, Inc. ATUSA™ Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound System
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- . The subject device scanner powered by a rechargeable battery whereas the predicate device is line powered. The change in energy source does not impact the safety or effectiveness of the device. Compliance with applicable electrical safety standards support equivalence.
- . The subject device transducer operates between 5 and 10 MHz, the predicate device transducer operates at 5 - 13 MHz. The difference in the upper frequency range does not impact the safety or efficacy of the device.
- . The patient is in a supine position for the subject device versus a prone position for the predicate device. A supine positioned patient is common and the difference in patient positioning does not impact the safety or efficacy of the device.

b3 CONCLUSIONS DRAWN FROM TESTING:
The safety, performance and validation testing data demonstrate that the ATUSA™ Automated 3D Breast Ultrasound System meets the device requirements supporting its intended use and is substantially equivalent in technological characteristics, principles of operation and indications for use to the predicate device. Any noted differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the ATUSA system is as safe and as effective as the predicate device.
