Intended Use
The EdgeFlow UH10 is an ultrasound device intended to be used for measuring the urine volume in the bladder noninvasively. It is intended for use in professional healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, by qualified and trained healthcare professionals. The EdgeFlow UH10 supports B-mode and harmonic imaging modes.
Device Description
This device is an ultrasound system that measures urinary bladder volume noninvasively using ultrasound. The system consists of a handheld unit (console) with a 3.2inch touchscreen display and a permanently attached probe. The system calculates the bladder volume based on ultrasound images using the probe. The images and the bladder volume are displayed on the screen. The results of the exam are automatically saved and saved exams are managed on the screen. Data can be exported to a standard PC using a wired USB export or Wi-Fi communications. The system includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery can be charged in the system directly connecting a USB cable with a power adapter. Also, a cradle is available for charging the battery or printing the results. The deep learning model employed in EdgeFlow UH10 comprises three components: feature extraction, binary classification, and semantic segmentation networks. B-mode ultrasound images undergo classification in the network to determine the presence of the bladder, while the segmentation network is responsible for delineating the bladder area. Live B-mode ultrasound images are acquired once the scan button is pressed to start scanning. The output of the deep learning model manifests as the bladder contours displayed as green lines in the ultrasound images, and the bladder volume is subsequently calculated based on these lines when the scan button is pressed.
More Information

Yes
The device description explicitly states that it employs a "deep learning model" which is a type of artificial intelligence/machine learning. It further details the components of this model (feature extraction, binary classification, semantic segmentation networks) and how it is used to delineate the bladder and calculate volume.

No
The device is used for measuring urine volume noninvasively, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It provides information about the bladder's state rather than actively treating a condition.

Yes

The device is intended for measuring urine volume in the bladder, which provides information about a patient's physiological state and aids in medical diagnosis or treatment decisions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a handheld unit with a touchscreen display and a permanently attached probe, which are hardware components.

No, 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, in order to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring or compatibility purposes.
  • EdgeFlow UH10 Function: The EdgeFlow UH10 is an ultrasound device that measures the volume of urine within the bladder noninvasively. It does not examine a specimen derived from the body. It uses ultrasound waves to image and calculate the volume of the bladder in real-time.

The device is a medical device, specifically an ultrasound system, but its function falls under the category of in vivo measurement, not in vitro diagnostic testing.

No
The clearance letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

4. SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION

This device is an ultrasound system that measures urinary bladder volume noninvasively using ultrasound. The system consists of a handheld unit (console) with a 3.2inch touchscreen display and a permanently attached probe. The system calculates the bladder volume based on ultrasound images using the probe. The images and the bladder volume are displayed on the screen. The results of the exam are automatically saved and saved exams are managed on the screen. Data can be exported to a standard PC using a wired USB export or Wi-Fi communications.

The system includes a rechargeable lithium-ion battery can be charged in the system directly connecting a USB cable with a power adapter. Also, a cradle is available for charging the battery or printing the results.

The deep learning model employed in EdgeFlow UH10 comprises three components: feature extraction, binary classification, and semantic segmentation networks. B-mode ultrasound images undergo classification in the network to determine the presence of the bladder, while the segmentation network is responsible for delineating the bladder area. Live B-mode ultrasound images are acquired once the scan button is pressed to start scanning. The output of the deep learning model manifests as the bladder contours displayed as green lines in the ultrasound images, and the bladder volume is subsequently calculated based on these lines when the scan button is pressed.

Image /page/4/Figure/8 description: The image shows a diagram of a bladder segmentation process. The process starts with an input B-mode image, which undergoes preprocessing. The preprocessed image is then fed into a feature extraction module using MobileNetV2, followed by a semantic segmentation network using DeepLabv3+. The outputs of the semantic segmentation network and a binary classification network (fully connected neural network) are combined in a postprocessing step to produce the final output: bladder segmentation.

Bladder volume, which is the measurement output of the subject device, is reflected by the size and shape of the bladder. The size of the bladder is a result of urine accumulation in the bladder. However, bladder shape can be influenced by various factors, including pelvic structures, capacity, and bladder contents, which implies it varies from person to person and changes time to time within the same person. There is no specific relationship between bladder shape and race proven by sufficient clinical studies. Thus, demographics are only collected as auxiliary references in data collection.

Since the subject device, EdgeFlow UH10, is intended to measure bladder volume or residual urine volume, the data acquired by the target device (EdgeFlow UH10) are expected to show an imbalance between the presence of bladder and the case of bladder absence. Thus, the PR AUC (Precision-Recall Area Under Curve) is considered as a secondary endpoint for the performance test of the classification network by drawing a precision-recall curve.

For data truthing, the test dataset is independently reviewed by two evaluators who have in clinical experiences. The review results are transformed into ground truths to assess the performance of two networks.

5. INDICATION FOR USE

The EdgeFlow UH10 is an ultrasound device intended to be used for measuring the urine volume in the bladder noninvasively. It is intended for use in professional healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, clinics, by qualified and trained healthcare professionals.

    • . Evaluate the performance of the segmentation network with 95% confidence intervals using the test criteria for the primary endpoint (Dice Score: ≥0.89).

The accuracy of the classification and segmentation networks were measured respectively with the test dataset. The test criteria of classification accuracy and segmentation accuracy were both satisfied with an F1 score of 0.979 (95% CI 0.974-0.984), and a Dice score of 0.896 (95% CI 0.890-0.901). In conclusion, the deep learning model of EdgeFlow UH10 satisfies performance criteria established by Edgecare Inc.

The non-clinical overall data results of the above tests have met the criteria of the standards and demonstrated the substantial equivalence with the predicate device.

8. CONCLUSION

The comparison between the subject devices and the predicate devices shows that the general information, some technical and material information are the same. Although there are some differences, the performance test reports are supported to the substantial equivalence of the subject device, the performance test reports are provided to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the subject devices. Therefore, we conclude that the different characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness, and thus the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
