No
The summary describes a standard diagnostic ultrasound system and does not mention AI, ML, or any related technologies in its description, intended use, or performance studies.
No.
The device is clearly indicated as a "Diagnostic Ultrasound System" intended to "provide images of, or signals from, inside the body" for "clinical diagnosis purposes," and its function is to "process ultrasound echo data... and display it as ultrasound imaging." It does not mention any therapeutic use.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system provides images or signals "for clinical diagnosis purposes" and "calculation packages that provide information to the clinician that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes." Additionally, the "Device Description" and "Predicate Device(s)" explicitly label the device as a "Diagnostic Ultrasound System."
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "multi-purpose diagnostic ultrasound system with proprietary software and accessories," indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software. The description also details the system's function of transmitting, receiving, and processing ultrasound echo data, which are hardware-dependent actions.
Based on the provided information, the ACUSON SC2000 Diagnostic Ultrasound System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The ACUSON SC2000 is a diagnostic ultrasound system. It uses ultrasound waves to create images of structures inside the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it provides images or signals from inside the body.
- Device Description: The description details the process of transmitting, receiving, and processing ultrasound echo data from body tissue.
Therefore, the ACUSON SC2000 falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic device, as it performs diagnostic procedures directly on a living organism.

Cardiac Imaging Applications and Analysis
The system transmits ultrasound energy into adult, pediatric, neonatal and fetal cardiac patients creating 2D (B), 3D, M-Mode (M), Color Doppler (CD), Color Power Doppler (CPD), Pulsed Wave Doppler (PWD), and Continuous Wave Doppler (CWD) to obtain images and blood flow velocity of the heart, cardiac valves, great vessels, and surrounding anatomical structures to evaluate the presence or absence of pathology. The system may be used to acquire patient electrocardiogram for synchronizing the diastolic and systolic capture of ultrasound images.
The system also supports catheters which are intended for intra-cardiac and intraluminal visualization of cardiac and great vessel anatomy and physiology as well as visualization of other devices in the heart of adult and pediatric patients.
Catheters are intended for imaging guidance only, not treatment delivery, during cardiac interventional percutaneous procedures.
The system has Cardiac Measurements and Calculation Packages that provide information that may be used adjunctively with other medical data obtained by a physician for clinical diagnosis purposes.
