No
The description focuses on software enhancements for controlling ultrasonic energy and does not mention AI or ML algorithms.
Yes.
The device is used to fragment, emulsify, and aspirate soft and hard tissue during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator used for fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of tissue during surgical procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device is described as a system consisting of a console, handpiece, tips, and cassette, which are all hardware components. The modification is a software enhancement to the console, but the overall device is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Sonopet iQ Ultrasonic Aspirator System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for surgical procedures where fragmentation, emulsification, and aspiration of soft and hard tissue is desirable. This is a direct surgical intervention on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical device that uses ultrasonic energy to fragment and remove tissue. It's a tool used during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Sonopet iQ does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
The device is a surgical instrument used for tissue removal during various surgical procedures.

Device Description
The Sonopet iQ Ultrasonic Aspirator System is an ultrasonically vibrating surgical device which, in combination with irrigation, and aspiration, fragments, emulsifies and removes unwanted tissue. It allows the selective resection of target tissue while preserving vessels, ducts and other delicate structures. The system consists of a console which provides control and power functions, a surgical handpiece to provide ultrasonic energy (25kHz), sixteen (16) titanium tips with irrigation sleeves, and an Irrigation Suction Cassette.
The modification described here within is a software enhancement to the Console of the Sonopet iQ Ultrasonic Aspirator System, cleared under K190070. Specifically, the purpose of this software enhancement is to add an optional feature called Pulse Control.
Pulse Control provides an additional means of controlling the dose of ultrasonic energy by modulating the tip displacement amplitude and reduces tip temperature across the various aspirator tips while minimizing the associated reduction in hard tissue resection rate.
In conjunction with the addition of the Pulse Control feature, the memory control parameters on the Sonopet iQ Tips have been updated to enable amplitude modulated pulsing of the ultrasonic control output wave form.

Dear Thomas Flannelly:
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 ffor 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/cfpm/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
1
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for 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 (0S) 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.

Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
The intended use of the subject device and predicate are identical, and their technological characteristics are similar. The subject device is a modification of the predicate and utilizes the same design and operating principles. The device modifications do not raise any new or different questions of safety and effectiveness.
Risk management was conducted in accordance with ISO 14971.
The following testing was conducted to demonstrate that the modifications to the subject device are as safe and effective as the predicate.
- Software Verification Testing
- Validation Testing
- Performance Testing ●
- IEC 60601-1 Electrical Safety
- . IEC 60601-1-2 EMC Testing
Results of these tests demonstrate that the functionality, integrity, and safety and effectiveness of the subject device are sufficient for their intended use, indications for use and support a determination of substantial equivalence.
Summary of Clinical Testing
Clinical testing was not required for this Special 510(k).
Conclusion
The proposed modifications to the subject device do not alter the indications for use, intended use, or its fundamental scientific technology. There are no differences in the indications for use and intended use between the subject and predicate devices.
The only technological difference is the addition of Pulse Control, which provides a means of controlling the dose of ultrasonic energy by modulating the tip displacement amplitude.
The modifications introduced raise no new or different issues of safety and effectiveness and testing has demonstrated substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
