Device Description

U-Lite PRO is a compact, ultralight battery powered general purpose diagnostic ultrasound scanner. The U-Lite PRO is a notebook-size, battery-operated, generalpurpose track 3 diagnostic ultrasound system. The U-Lite PRO can be handheld measuring 180mm x 115mm x 20mm and weighing 0.7 kg (approximately 1.54 lbs.). The unit is a handheld ultrasound (HHU) imaging system with interchangeable probes with optional stand.

The U-Lite PRO is used to acquire and display high-resolution LED screen images, realtime ultrasound data and display the data as B Mode, M Mode, PWD Mode, CWD Mode, Color Doppler Mode, Power Doppler, Tissue Harmonic Imaging Mode, and Combined (B +M; B+CD; B+PD; B+PWD).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the U-Lite PRO ultrasonic pulsed Doppler imaging system. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through technical comparisons and compliance with various standards, rather than providing detailed clinical study data with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics for an AI/CADe (Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis) component.

Therefore, the document does not contain the information required to populate a table of acceptance criteria for AI performance, nor does it describe a study proving an AI/CADe device meets such criteria. Specifically:

  • No acceptance criteria for AI were provided. The document describes acoustic output limits and measurement accuracy for the ultrasound system itself, but not for any AI/CADe features.
  • No specific study proving AI performance was described. The document states, "No clinical studies were conducted," and the "Non-clinical Performance Testing" sections focus on electrical safety, EMC, usability, biocompatibility, and software verification/validation, along with acoustic output and measurement range/accuracy of the ultrasound hardware. There is no mention of a study to assess the performance of an AI algorithm in detection, diagnosis, or reader assistance.

Given the information provided in the document, it is not possible to complete the requested table or describe a study proving the device meets AI/CADe acceptance criteria, as the submission does not detail any AI component or its performance evaluation. The device described appears to be an ultrasound imaging device, not explicitly an AI/CADe system for image analysis.

Discussion of Technological Difference

The U-Lite PRO is comparable to primary predicate T-Lite (K201988) in technological characteristics and operating principle. It uses the same beamformer and the same exchangeable probes. Both devices transmit ultrasonic energy into patients, then perform post processing of received echoes to generate on- screen display of anatomic structures and fluid flow within the body and have similar intended use and basic operating modes. Both systems allow for specialized measurements of structures and flow and calculations.

The proposed U Lite PRO and T Lite (K201988) have the similar clinical intended use and clinical applications. However, the following clinical applications are added to the proposed U Lite PRO: Ophthalmic & Adult cephalic which can be found in the reference predicate, VScan Air (K231301).

Non-clinical performance testing showed that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

{14}------------------------------------------------

For ophthalmic clinical applications

Acoustic output testing was conducted with PR51, PR52, and PR57 probes with "Ophthalmic" preset.

Results confirms that the maximum values for ophthalmic application are respected i.e

  • · ISPTA less than or equal to 50 mW/cm2
  • · MI less than or equal to 0.23
  • · TI=Max (TIS as,TIC) as less than or equal to 1

Results confirms that the system complies with IEC 60601-2-37 standard

For adult cephalic clinical application

Acoustic output testing was conducted with PR54 probe to support the Transcranial Doppler Ultrasound (TCD) application in PW operating mode.

Results confirms that the maximum values (track 3) for adult cephalic application are respected i.e

  • · ISPTA less than or equal to 720 mW/cm2
  • · MI less than or equal to 1.9

Results confirms that the system complies with IEC 60601-2-37 standard

Modes and Transducers

The proposed U Lite PRO and the primary T Lite (K201988) support B-mode, B Mode, M Mode or TM-mode, Harmonic, Color Doppler Mode, Pulse Wave Doppler, Power Doppler, Tissue Doppler. In addition, the proposed U Lite PRO also supports Continuous Wave Doppler (CW) and Directional Power Doppler (DPD) modes which are cleared in the reference predicate, Acclarix AX3 (K202856).

The U Lite PRO comes with 11, previously cleared, exchangeable probes, PR50, PR51, PR52, PR53, PR54, PR55 PR56, PR57, PR58, PR59 PR60 (K171164 & K201988) which have been evaluated and found to be safe for the intended use of the device.

All these probes can be used with all U-Lite and T-Lite models.

All these probes were tested with the subject device in accordance with IEC 60601-2-37 standard and results do not raise any safety and performance issue.

Hardware

The hardware difference is to use one electronic component with faster CPU and faster GPU at the same power consumption, combined with more RAM, the new component can provide either more processing power for demanding applications, or lower average power consumption for the same processing tasks. The proposed change will therefore add Continuous – Wave (CW) Doppler interrogation methods to the modes of operation of the device.

{15}------------------------------------------------

The power supply of the U-Lite PRO is 15V DC similar to the predicate T Lite and batteries support operation for 2 hours continuous scanning.

Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted on the U Lite PRO. The system complies with the IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-2-37 for safety and the IEC 60601-1-2 for EMC.
