The summary describes standard ultrasound imaging and processing, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or automated analysis beyond basic image formation.
Yes
The device is intended to provide "ultrasound guided therapeutic access" and enable "ultrasound guided needle aspiration and other EUS guided procedures," which are therapeutic interventions.
Yes
Explanation: The device provides "ultrasonic visualization" and "real-time ultrasound imaging," which are used to visualize anatomical structures within the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract. This enables assessment and localization, thus supporting diagnosis. The "ultrasound guided therapeutic access" and "ultrasound guided needle aspiration" also rely on this visualization.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components: an electronic ultrasound beamformer/image analyzer, a reusable transducer assembly, a cable/connector, and a sterile, disposable mounting kit. While it includes custom software (EVSViewer), it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the EndoSound Vision System (EVS) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the EVS is used to provide ultrasonic visualization and ultrasound-guided therapeutic access within the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract. This involves imaging and procedures performed directly on or within the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a system that attaches to an endoscope for real-time ultrasound imaging and guided procedures in vivo.
- Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical site is the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract, which is within the patient's body.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The EVS does not analyze specimens taken from the body.
The EVS is an in vivo diagnostic and therapeutic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The EndoSound Vision System® (EVS) is an add-on ultrasound system designed to attach externally to an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscope (gastroscope/upper (EGD) endoscope). Once attached, it temporarily converts an EGD endoscope to a fully capable EUS endoscope. The EVS consists of:
- an electronic ultrasound beamformer/image analyzer (EVSScanner),
- a reusable transducer assembly (Ultrasound Transducer Module (UTM)), .
- . a cable/connector to interface the transducer to the beamformer (Transducer Extension Cable (TEC)).
- a sterile, disposable mounting kit with an operator control mechanism (Ultrasound Disposable Kit (UDK-T)) used to externally affix the EVS to a standard gastroscope/upper (EGD) endoscope and to provide needle and transducer angle control.
When attached to an upper GI endoscope, the EVS enables real-time ultrasound imaging, ultrasound quided needle aspiration and other EUS quided procedures within the upper gastrointestinal tract and surrounding organs. Native functions of the gastroscope including video imaging, articulation insufflation and suctioning are available after attachment of the EVS device. The system works in tandem with a PC computer/monitor/tablet connected via a USB 3.0 cable that runs custom software (EVSViewer) and provides the user interface and ultrasound display. The EVS components and technical characteristics are described individually below.
EVSScanner (Beamformer): The EVSScanner is a small, portable, self-contained module that contains the electronics that perform the ultrasound scanning and receiving functions (beamforming). The beamformer is the commercially available ArtUs ultrasonic system (K211248) manufactured by Telemed with a firmware modification that allows the system to recognize the EndoSound transducer. The device produces real-time ultrasound images in combination with the EVS curved linear array transducer and a computer/display running EVSViewer software.
Ultrasound Transducer Module (UTM): The UTM is a 6.4mm radius-of-curvature (ROC) convex, 96-element, curved-linear ultrasound arrav imaging over a frequency range from 5 to 12 MHz. The array produces a fixed ultrasound field-of-view of 150 degrees. The array is connected to a flat, multi-wire cable to a waterproof connector. The transducer is designed to be high-level disinfected using Cidex OPA as commonly employed for gastroscopes and EUS scopes.
Transducer Extension Cable (TEC)
The TEC consists of a multiwire coax cable with connector interfaces on each end. One end plugs into the EVSScanner and the other end plugs into the UTM. It functions as an extension cable to extend the length of the UTM while in use and the UTM facing connector provides a waterproof seal with the UTM while in use.
EVSViewer Software: The EVSViewer is the software run on a PC/monitor which processes the ultrasound data received from the EVSScanner module and displays the ultrasound image. It also functions to produce the user interface on the computer monitor. The software is equivalent to the Echo Wave II software manufactured by Telemed (K211248) with the following changes:
- EVS Probe Integration: The EVS UTM probe was integrated to work with the base o software.
- Probe Recognition Function: The probe recognition function was altered to read a singleo wire EEPROM (electronic chip) residing in the EVS UTM.
- UTM Counter in the EVSViewer: A dialog box displays upon bootup requiring the user to O press a button to proceed, debiting the number of preprogrammed uses of the UTM attached array until the probe is locked out.
- Ultrasound Field of View (FOV) lock: The EVSViewer removes the ability of the user to o change the ultrasound field-of-view (only the full 150-degree field of view is allowed).
- EndoSound Splash Screen: Displays an EndoSound splash screen upon bootup. o
- Insert EndoSound Icons: EndoSound branded small icons are displayed on the user O interface.
All changes to the software have been verified and validated.
Ultrasound Disposable Kit (UDK-T)
The UDK-T is a disposable, single-use kit provided sterile, that is used to attach the EVS to the compatible endoscope and provide transducer and needle articulation in addition to the native gastroscope controls. Sterility and shelf-life testing for six-month life was conducted and reports may be found in Appendix 4, Clinical Safety & Effectiveness. Silicone sleeves are included to protect the endoscope and help secure it to compatible gastroscopes. The control wire is terminated to a control knob which is affixed to the proximal end of the gastroscope. The control knob allows the transducer assembly as well as any needle inserted through the working channel to be articulated/deflected over a working range.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Animal Testing
A GLP lab study was performed comparing safety and performance of the EVS with a predicate endoscope (PENTAX EG-3870UTK EUS scope) (K130247, K182004). The study was conducted with an expert endoscopist as the user under the supervision of the GLP quality director and the study director. A detailed optical and endoscopic ultrasound regimen was utilized for both the control device. The regimen was implemented four times in each of 3 live animal models.
Study results included:
Overall Safety Assessment: Following the completion of six procedures, no clinically relevant damage was identified, either radiologically, endoscopically, or macroscopically.
Optical and EUS imaging: The study incorporated both standard endoscopic (i.e., optical) assessment and complete EUS assessment. The comparison of images obtained from these tests revealed no significant differences from the control, suggesting that the EVS is substantially equivalent to the control device in terms of imaging quality.
Behavior of EVS during Needle Targeting: No issues or remarkable differences were observed when angulating the EVS to the same extent as the predicate device. The clinical behavior of the EVS is substantially equivalent to the control device. The EVS successfully conducted procedures in the evaluated scenarios.
Endoscope and Device Maneuverability: The study evaluated the manipulation of both the endoscope and the EVS device. The findings suggest that mounting the EVS on the endoscope does not have a significant impact on the bending and maneuverability of the endoscope compared to when the EVS is not mounted.
Cable management: No cable trapping of mucosal tissue between the cable and the endoscope occurred during use, or any other damage to the upper GIT occurred throughout the study.

General Safety and Effectiveness
Ultrasound Scanning
The EVSScanner employs the same basic principles of operation including signal generation, digital acquisition, processing, and display as the predicate device. The transducer is of the same principal design and form and uses similar transduction processes to generate and receive the ultrasound signal. Phantom and in vivo study comparison images show similar scanning resolution, image quality and ultrasound image performance. The EVS has no ultrasound characteristics, modes, or features that are not previously evaluated or present in the predicate device, or that are not commonly used in traditional ultrasound systems.
Physical Characteristics
The EVS is placed on an upper GI gastroscope to create a device similar in performance to a dedicated ultrasound endoscope. In the EVS the cabling and control wires are external to the endoscope, whereas in the predicates, the control wires and electronic cabling are interior to the endoscope. For efficient management of the external cabling, the UDK-T control wire is wrapped around the endoscope during attachment, which manages the external electronic cabling to the endoscope. Verification testing has shown that the external cabling does not impact the performance and safety of the EVS relative to the listed predicates. Once attached, the physical form, ultrasound image, and physical manipulations of the device are substantially equivalent to the listed predicates.
The EVS varies from the predicate in the manner of deflection of the predicate devices use a built-in elevator mechanism to deflect the needle whereas the EVS uses an external, disposable attachable kit (UDK-T) to manipulate the needle to the intended target. The process entails using the UDK-T Control Knob to alter the articulation of the transducer assembly. This allows the needle to be inserted through a built-in slot in the EVS to place the needle in the ultrasound scan plane. Once through the aperture, the directed movement of the transducer assembly deflects the needle. Overall, the physical attribute differences do not impact safety or efficacy of the combined system or performance as compared to the predicate devices as reported in the body of this submission.
Biocompatibility
A summary of the successfully completed biological safety testing on components of the EVS in contact with the patient is shown in Table 2.

UTM Reprocessing
Manual Cleaning, High-Level Disinfection and Rinsing Validation studies were performed on the EVS UTM by an outside GLP accredited laboratory with passing results.
UDK Sterilization and Packaging Integrity, ECH and ETO Residual Testing
The UDK-T sterile kit (PN 18040) is sterilized using ETO sterilization. Packaging Verification including sterilization efficacy testing was performed at time TO (after manufacture) and time T1 (post 6 months accelerated aging).
Animal Testing
A GLP lab study was performed comparing safety and performance of the EVS with a predicate endoscope (PENTAX EG-3870UTK EUS scope) (K130247, K182004). The study was conducted with an expert endoscopist as the user under the supervision of the GLP quality director and the study director. A detailed optical and endoscopic ultrasound regimen was utilized for both the control device. The regimen was implemented four times in each of 3 live animal models.
Study results included:
Overall Safety Assessment: Following the completion of six procedures, no clinically relevant damage was identified, either radiologically, endoscopically, or macroscopically.
Optical and EUS imaging: The study incorporated both standard endoscopic (i.e., optical) assessment and complete EUS assessment. The comparison of images obtained from these tests revealed no significant differences from the control, suggesting that the EVS is substantially equivalent to the control device in terms of imaging quality.
Behavior of EVS during Needle Targeting: No issues or remarkable differences were observed when angulating the EVS to the same extent as the predicate device. The clinical behavior of the EVS is substantially equivalent to the control device. The EVS successfully conducted procedures in the evaluated scenarios.
Endoscope and Device Maneuverability: The study evaluated the manipulation of both the endoscope and the EVS device. The findings suggest that mounting the EVS on the endoscope does not have a significant impact on the bending and maneuverability of the endoscope compared to when the EVS is not mounted.
Cable management: No cable trapping of mucosal tissue between the cable and the endoscope occurred during use, or any other damage to the upper GIT occurred throughout the study.

Verification and validation testing for the EVS was completed in accordance with EndoSound's Design and Control process in compliance with 21 CFR Part 820.30. Successful results of testing are included in the body of this submission.
Potential risks of the EVS were identified according to ISO 14971. Mitigations were implemented and tested as part of the performance testing described above, with all mitigations verified and validated as documented in the attached risk management file. Technological differences from the predicate were shown not to result in any new issues of safety or efficacy according to the performance data submitted.
Conclusion
Based on a comparison of physical characteristics, safety testing and animal studies performed, and conformance to consensus standards cited above and information provided in this Premarket notification, EndoSound considers the EVS to be as safe and effective and the performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices described herein.
