K202132 Venue, Diagnostic Ultrasound System
Yes
The summary explicitly mentions "algorithm performance" and describes a "training process" and "verification dataset" with "ground truth annotations" used to assess the accuracy of "cNerve detections" of "nerve bundles". This strongly indicates the use of an algorithm trained on data, which is characteristic of machine learning.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a "general purpose diagnostic ultrasound system" and its intended use is for "ultrasound imaging, measurement, display and analysis." It does not mention treating or curing any conditions.
Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The Venue is a general purpose diagnostic ultrasound system". The "Device Description" also mentions "The proposed Venue system is a general-purpose, Track 3, diagnostic ultrasound device".
No
The device description clearly states it is a "general-purpose, Track 3, diagnostic ultrasound device" and describes physical components like a monitor, user interface, articulated monitor arm, barcode reader, RFID scanner, battery, and transducers. This indicates it is a hardware system with integrated software, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided text, the Venue device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "general purpose diagnostic ultrasound system for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals for ultrasound imaging, measurement, display and analysis of the human body and fluid." This describes a device used on the human body for imaging, not a device used to test samples from the human body in a laboratory setting.
- Device Description: The description details a mobile ultrasound system with probes, a monitor, and features for image acquisition and display. This aligns with an in-vivo imaging device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or performing tests on these samples outside of the body. IVD devices are designed for such purposes.
The device is a diagnostic imaging system used directly on patients.
No
The letter does not state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device; PCCP is listed as "Not Found" in the document.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Dataset: Test dataset representative of the Nerve block scouting procedures which cNerve supports was assessed for accuracy. Test dataset included 124 sequences, and 3776 frames.
The number of individuals images were collected from: A total of 44 individuals contributed to the verification dataset.
The number of samples, if different from above, and the relationship between the two: Each individual contributed up to 2 sequences per view location. Often both laterals (left and right) were scanned. Test dataset included 124 sequences, and 3776 frames.
Demographic distribution including: Gender: Male and Female, Age: 18-82 years, Ethnicity/Country: USA, Japan, Israel
Information about clinical subgroups and confounders present in the dataset: The algorithm performance was verified via frame accuracy on all demographic subgroups: Gender (M/F), Age (=60), BMI (25). Similarly, it was tested for all supported nerve block locations and all supported probe types.
Information about equipment and protocols used to collect images: Mix of data from across five different probes in the appropriate nerve mode, and three different Console variants.
Information about how the reference standard was derived from the dataset (i.e. the "truthing" process): Ground truth annotations of the verification dataset were obtained as follows: Frames from scouting sequences were annotated by a single clinical expert, where the anatomical area of the nerves was marked in each frame.
Description of how independence of test data from training data was ensured: The data used for verification is completely distinct from that used during training process and there is no overlap between the two.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
AI Summary of Testing: cNerve:
Appropriateness of the characterized performance:
- Success criteria were based on conformance of the cNerve detections to ground truth annotations of nerve bundles in individual frames. Since the intended use is nerve tracking during scouting rather than nerve segmentation accuracy, success criteria were derived via a preliminary survey. The target of the survey was to identify thresholds for pixel accuracy in frames and for frame accuracy in sequences that are appropriate for the intended use.
- cNerve performance requirements.
- Sequence accuracy requirement for testing overall cNerve performance: At least 70% of the sequences are meaningfully detected, and at least 80% of the meaningfully detected sequences are successfully detected (meeting frame accuracy criteria).
Summary of Clinical Tests: The subject of this premarket submission, Venue, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.

Since the intended use is nerve tracking during scouting rather than nerve segmentation accuracy, success criteria were derived via a preliminary survey. The target of the survey was to identify thresholds for pixel accuracy in frames and for frame accuracy in sequences that are appropriate for the intended use.
- cNerve performance requirements. ●
- Sequence accuracy requirement for testing overall ● cNerve performance: At least 70% of the sequences are meaningfully detected, and at least 80% of the meaningfully detected sequences are successfully detected (meeting frame accuracy criteria).
The number of individuals images were collected from:
-
A total of 44 individuals contributed to the verification ● dataset.
The number of samples, if different from above, and the relationship between the two: -
Each individual contributed up to 2 sequences per view location. Often both laterals (left and right) were scanned.
-
. Test dataset included 124 sequences, and 3776 frames.
Demographic distribution including:
- Gender: Male and Female
- Age: 18-82 years ●
- Ethnicity/Country: USA, Japan, Israel ●

Information about clinical subgroups and confounders present in the dataset:
- The algorithm performance was verified via frame ● accuracy on all demographic subgroups: Gender (M/F), Age (=60), BMI (25).
- Similarly, it was tested for all supported nerve block locations and all supported probe types.
Information about equipment and protocols used to collect images:
-
Mix of data from across five different probes in the appropriate nerve mode, and three different Console variants.
Information about how the reference standard was derived from the dataset (i.e. the "truthing" process): -
Ground truth annotations of the verification dataset were . obtained as follows: Frames from scouting sequences were annotated by a single clinical expert, where the anatomical area of the nerves was marked in each frame.
Description of how independence of test data from training data was ensured: -
The data used for verification is completely distinct from . that used during training process and there is no overlap between the two.
Summary of Clinical Tests:
The subject of this premarket submission, Venue, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.
- GE Healthcare considers the Venue to be as safe, as effective, and Conclusion: performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
