ES Series V2 consists of a Software App (running on a consumer off-the-shelf Selected Host) and an accessory curved array probe. The system produces images and quantifications, which are displayed on the monitor of the Selected Host. ES Series V2 is operated from the Selected Host multi-touch screen. ES Series V2 also allows the user to perform measurements, to capture images, and to generate printable reports. ES Series V2 is designed to perform non-invasive measurements of liver/spleen shear wave speed and to estimate tissue stiffness. The e.C5-1 probe is equipped with a mechanical vibrator to produce shear waves in tissue. When used on the spleen applications, shear waves travel through the skin and intercostal space into the abdominal organ. 2D ultrasound is used to track the shear wave and measure its speed. The system then provides an estimate of tissue stiffness. In addition, ES Series V2 is designed to measure several quantitative parameters from B Mode imaging: ultrasound tissue brightness parameters such as ultrasound attenuation and backscattering coefficient, speed of sound, and compute ultrasound brightness ratio between 2 regions in the image. The results of ES Series V2 quantitative imaging modalities are displayed on the selected host monitor.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

A sample of calibrated phantoms with known reference values were used for in-vitro performance tests. Precision (in %), also known as the within subject coefficient of variation (wCV), was defined as the standard deviation of the independent measurements normalized by the mean of the independent measurements. Bias (in %) was defined as the difference between the mean value of the independent measurements and the ground truth value of the phantom, normalized by the ground truth value of the phantom.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The accuracy and precision of the device ultrasound modalities were tested on calibrated phantoms with known reference values.

For B-Mode imaging, the in-vitro performances were good. Contrast resolution enables to distinguish targets having a contrast ratio of +/- 3 dB as compared to the phantom background. The axial resolution of the system is below 1 mm, and the lateral resolution of the system is below 2mm.

For the estimation of the Speed of Sound, the in-vitro performance tests revealed a strong inter-system repeatability and demonstrated that the algorithm is accurate and robust on a wide range of speed of sound values. Indeed, the wCV lies in the range [0.1%, 0.4%] (CI 95% [0.1%, 2.5%]) while bias values range in [-3.2%, -1.2%] (CI 95% [-4.0%, -0.2%]). When comparing measurements performed with ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device, a perfect coefficient of determination of 1.000 was obtained between the 2 systems and methods.

For shear wave speed measurements and liver stiffness estimation by the 2D TE method, in-vitro experiments reveal that the stiffness estimation is robust on a wide range of stiffness values and satisfies QIBA technical performance claims. Indeed, the wCV lies in the range [0.8%, 3.2%] (CI 95% [0.4%, 20%]) for the shear wave speed and in the range [1.2%. 6.3%] (CI 95% [0.6%, 40%]) for the corresponding Young's modulus. Bias values lie in the range [-15%, 2.2%] (CI 95% [-20%, 9%]) for the SWS and in the range [-27%, 5.6%] (CI 95% [-35%. 18%]) for Young's modulus. It also reveals a strong inter-system repeatability.

When comparing measurements performed with ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device, a high coefficient of determination of 0.99 was obtained between the 2 systems and methods.

For elasticity imaging, the in-vitro performances were good. Average axial and lateral resolution have been measured at 4.3 and 4.0 mm. In addition, the in-vitro performance tests demonstrated that the measurements of the shear wave speed and stiffness within inclusions are accurate and robust on a wide range of values. Indeed, the wCV lies in the range [0.1 %, 0.9 %] (CI 95% [0.1%, 5.3%]) for the shear wave speed and in the range [0.3 %. 1.7 %] (CI 95% [0.1%. 10.6%]) for the corresponding Young moduli while bias values range in [3.8 %, 11.2 %] (CI 95% [3.0%, 13.6%]) for the shear wave speed and in the range [7.5 %, 23.7 %] (CI 95% [5.9%, 28.9%]) for the corresponding Young moduli. When comparing measurements performed with ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device, a high coefficient of determination of 0.99 was obtained between the 2 systems and methods.

For measurement of the ultrasound attenuation coefficient, the in-vitro performance tests revealed a strong inter-system repeatability and demonstrated that the algorithm is accurate and robust on a wide range of attenuation values. Indeed the wCV lies in the range [1.2%, 2.0%] (CI 95% [0.6%, 12.6%]), while bias values range in [-26%, 6.1%] (CI 95% [-28%. 16%]). On the same set of calibrated phantoms, ultrasound attenuation estimations with ES Series V2 were highly correlated with estimations performed with its Predicate Device, with a coefficient of determination correlation of 0.987.

For measurement of the ultrasound backscatter coefficient, the in-vitro performance tests revealed a strong inter-system repeatability and demonstrated that the algorithm is accurate and robust on a wide range of backscatter coefficient values. Indeed the wCV lies in the range [0.8%, 1.7%] (CI 95% [0.3%, 10.8%]), while bias values range in [-13%, -1.1%] (CI 95% [-18%, 0.8%]). On the same set of calibrated phantoms, ultrasound backscatter coefficient estimations with ES Series V2 were highly correlated with hepatorenal index estimations performed with its Predicate Device, with a coefficient of determination correlation of 0.993.

Acoustic Pressure and Intensities of changed ultrasound modalities available to the user on ES Series V2 were measured: ATT and SOS. 2 transmit patterns (TP) were measured, each of them being used respectively in the three modified composed imaging modes available on the system. These test results show that the upper-limit values for MI, TI and ISPTA3 are always below the limits recommended in the FDA Guidance for applications other than for ophthalmic use, for ultrasound systems, therefore legitimating the Track 1 approach.

Device description:

E-Scopics' ES Series V2 is an ultraportable ultrasound imaging system used to perform non-invasive diagnostic general purpose ultrasound imaging and quantitative imaging studies. ES Series V2 consists of a Software App (running on a consumer off-the-shelf Selected Host) and an accessory curved array probe. The system produces images and quantifications, which are displayed on the monitor of the Selected Host. ES Series V2 is operated from the Selected Host multi-touch screen. ES Series V2 also allows the user to perform measurements, to capture images, and to generate printable reports.

ES Series V2 is designed to perform non-invasive measurements of liver/spleen shear wave speed and to estimate tissue stiffness. The e.C5-1 probe is equipped with a mechanical vibrator to produce shear waves in tissue. When used on the spleen applications, shear waves travel through the skin and intercostal space into the abdominal organ. 2D ultrasound is used to track the shear wave and measure its speed. The system then provides an estimate of tissue stiffness. In addition, ES Series V2 is designed to measure several quantitative parameters from B Mode imaging: ultrasound tissue brightness parameters such as ultrasound attenuation and backscattering coefficient, speed of sound, and compute ultrasound brightness ratio between 2 regions in the image. The results of ES Series V2 quantitative imaging modalities are displayed on the selected host monitor.

Substantial Equivalence discussion

ES Series V2 operating modalities, principles, and features (B-Mode, 2D-Transient Elastography, estimation of shear wave speed, ultrasound attenuation, backscattering coefficient & speed of sound, and associated combinations as listed in the Diagnostic Ultrasound Indications for Use Table) have been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to operating modalities, principles, and features of the Predicate Device.

Shear wave speed measurement and tissue stiffness estimation as available on ES Series V2 are equivalent to those available on the Predicate Device, as demonstrated through performance testing , and they serve the same intended use, without raising any safety & effectiveness issues.

ES Series V2 provides estimates of ultrasound tissue brightness, such as ultrasound attenuation and backscattering coefficient in tissue and is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device as demonstrated by performance testing (verification and validation testing, in vitro performance assessment). The differences in ultrasound sequences and data processing algorithms between methods implemented on ES Series V2 and the Predicate Device do not raise issues of safety and effectiveness.

ES Series V2 provides estimates of speed of sound in tissue, and is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device as demonstrated by performance testing. The differences in ultrasound sequences and data processing algorithms between methods implemented on ES Series V2 and the Predicate Device do not raise issues of safety and effectiveness.

ES Series V2 operates the same curvilinear array as the Predicate Device to perform all ultrasound modes, including conventional B-Mode. Although ES Series V2 B-Mode imaging has a different post-processing filtering algorithm, ultrasound transmit/receive sequences are identical to the ones implemented in the Predicate Device, without raising issues of safety and effectiveness.

Application of Recognized Standards

ES Series V2 operates the same curvilinear array as the Predicate Device (e.C5-1 Probe), which was designed & developed to ensure compliance with the requirements of standards covering biocompatibility, acoustic output, cleaning & disinfection, thermal, mechanical, electrical & electromagnetic safety performance.

Changes in ES Series V2 as compared to the Predicate Device only reside in ultrasonic sequences updates under track 1, ultrasonic data processing algorithms and

Discussion of Performance Data:

The accuracy and precision of the device ultrasound modalities were tested on calibrated phantoms with known reference values.

For B-Mode imaging, the in-vitro performances were good. Contrast resolution enables to distinguish targets having a contrast ratio of +/- 3 dB as compared to the phantom background. The axial resolution of the system is below 1 mm, and the lateral resolution of the system is below 2mm.

The accuracy of quantitative ultrasound modes of ES Series V2 was assessed in-vitro by looking at the precision and the bias obtained on a sample of calibrated phantoms. Precision (in %), also known as the within subject coefficient of variation (wCV), was defined as the standard deviation of the independent measurements normalized by the mean of the independent measurements. Bias (in %) was defined as the difference between the mean value of the independent measurements and the ground truth value of the phantom, normalized by the ground truth value of the phantom.

In addition, the accuracy of shear wave speed/stiffness, speed of sound measurements, ultrasound attenuation measurements and ultrasound basckscatter coefficient measurements of ES Series V2 and the counterpart in its Predicate Device were compared looking at the precision and the bias obtained with both systems on the same sample of calibrated speed of sound, shear wave speed, ultrasound attenuation and ultrasound backscatter coefficient phantoms.

For the estimation of the Speed of Sound, the in-vitro performance tests revealed a strong inter-system repeatability and demonstrated that the algorithm is accurate and robust on a wide range of speed of sound values. Indeed, the wCV lies in the range [0.1%, 0.4%] (CI 95% [0.1%, 2.5%]) while bias values range in [-3.2%, -1.2%] (CI 95% [-4.0%, -0.2%]). When comparing measurements performed with ES Series V2 and

its Predicate Device, a perfect coefficient of determination of 1.000 was obtained between the 2 systems and methods.

For shear wave speed measurements and liver stiffness estimation by the 2D TE method, in-vitro experiments reveal that the stiffness estimation is robust on a wide range of stiffness values and satisfies QIBA technical performance claims. Indeed, the wCV lies in the range [0.8%, 3.2%] (CI 95% [0.4%, 20%]) for the shear wave speed and in the range [1.2%. 6.3%] (CI 95% [0.6%, 40%]) for the corresponding Young's modulus. Bias values lie in the range [-15%, 2.2%] (CI 95% [-20%, 9%]) for the SWS and in the range [-27%, 5.6%] (CI 95% [-35%. 18%]) for Young's modulus. It also reveals a strong inter-system repeatability.

When comparing measurements performed with ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device, a high coefficient of determination of 0.99 was obtained between the 2 systems and methods.

For elasticity imaging, the in-vitro performances were good. Average axial and lateral resolution have been measured at 4.3 and 4.0 mm. In addition, the in-vitro performance tests demonstrated that the measurements of the shear wave speed and stiffness within inclusions are accurate and robust on a wide range of values. Indeed, the wCV lies in the range [0.1 %, 0.9 %] (CI 95% [0.1%, 5.3%]) for the shear wave speed and in the range [0.3 %. 1.7 %] (CI 95% [0.1%. 10.6%]) for the corresponding Young moduli while bias values range in [3.8 %, 11.2 %] (CI 95% [3.0%, 13.6%]) for the shear wave speed and in the range [7.5 %, 23.7 %] (CI 95% [5.9%, 28.9%]) for the corresponding Young moduli. When comparing measurements performed with ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device, a high coefficient of determination of 0.99 was obtained between the 2 systems and methods.

For measurement of the ultrasound attenuation coefficient, the in-vitro performance tests revealed a strong inter-system repeatability and demonstrated that the algorithm is accurate and robust on a wide range of attenuation values. Indeed the wCV lies in the range [1.2%, 2.0%] (CI 95% [0.6%, 12.6%]), while bias values range in [-26%, 6.1%] (CI 95% [-28%. 16%]). On the same set of calibrated phantoms, ultrasound attenuation estimations with ES Series V2 were highly correlated with estimations performed with its Predicate Device, with a coefficient of determination correlation of 0.987.

For measurement of the ultrasound backscatter coefficient, the in-vitro performance tests revealed a strong inter-system repeatability and demonstrated that the algorithm is accurate and robust on a wide range of backscatter coefficient values. Indeed the wCV lies in the range [0.8%, 1.7%] (CI 95% [0.3%, 10.8%]), while bias values range in [-13%, -1.1%] (CI 95% [-18%, 0.8%]). On the same set of calibrated phantoms, ultrasound backscatter coefficient estimations with ES Series V2 were highly correlated

with hepatorenal index estimations performed with its Predicate Device, with a coefficient of determination correlation of 0.993.

Acoustic Pressure and Intensities of changed ultrasound modalities available to the user on ES Series V2 were measured: ATT and SOS. 2 transmit patterns (TP) were measured, each of them being used respectively in the three modified composed imaging modes available on the system. These test results show that the upper-limit values for MI, TI and ISPTA3 are always below the limits recommended in the FDA Guidance for applications other than for ophthalmic use, for ultrasound systems, therefore legitimating the Track 1 approach.

Conclusions for Performance Testing:

The performance testing data conclude that the safety and effectiveness of ES Series V2 is not compromised and meet all acceptance criteria, demonstrating that the system is substantially equivalent to its Predicate Device.

Conclusions for Clinical Testing:

No clinical testing is necessary to demonstrate substantial equivalence between ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device.

Conclusion regarding Substantial Equivalence:

In conclusion, ES Series V2 was demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to its Predicate Device K213102, as they have the same intended use, equivalent indications for use, and the technological differences do not raise issues of safety and effectiveness.

This has been demonstrated via safety & performance testing between ES Series V2 and its Predicate Device.

coefficient | The predicate device ES1 System (K213102) does not provide
quantitative BSC measurements but semi-quantitative
measurements by means of the hepatorenal index (HRI) (see DOC-
1793 Theory of Operations - V2 - Appendices).
The backscatter coefficient estimation algorithm as available in the
New Device provides a quantitative way to estimate corrected
brightness which is similar to HRI from the Predicate Device.
Technological characteristics of the two algorithms implemented
in the two devices have a high degree of similarity as:

  • Both devices rely on the same energy-source: pulse-echo
    US imaging;
  • They rely on the same electronic boards and the same
    acoustic head to transmit / receive US data;
  • The transmit strategy (i.e. 12 Archimedean spiral waves),
    the transmit waveform are highly similar;
    Both techniques estimate average brightness ratios between a
    region of interest i.e the region labeled "L" in the HRI and the
    region of interest surrounded by yellow borders in the BSC
    estimation algorithm, and a reference region i.e. the region labeled
    "K" in the HRI and the region surrounded by yellow borders
    within the reference phantom for the BSC estimation algorithm. | Name: BSC
