Device Description
6450 Ultrasound System is a general-purpose diagnostic ultrasound system, based on a mainframe platform that can be easily moved thanks to four swivelling wheels.
6450 Ultrasound System consists of a control panel assembly with LCD monitor and a console with the device electronics and connectors, housed in an ergonomic cart designed to be both highly mobile and adjustable for a range of users and operating conditions.
6450 Ultrasound System use the physical properties of the ultrasound (i.e. sound waves with frequency above 20 kHz and that are not audible to the human ear) for the visualization of deep structures of the body by recording the reflections or echoes of ultrasonic pulses directed into the tissues and of the Doppler effect, i.e. the frequency-shifted ultrasound reflections produced by moving targets (usually red blood cells) in the bloodstream, to determine both direction and velocity of blood flow in the target organs.
The primary modes of operation are: B-Mode, M-Mode, Tissue Enhancement Imaging (TEI), Multi View (MView), Doppler (both PW and CW), Color Flow Mapping (CFM), Power Doppler, Tissue Velocity Mapping (TVM), Combined modes. 6450 Ultrasound System also manages Elastosonography (ElaXto, QElaXto, QElaXto 2D), 3D/4D and CnTI.
Several types of probes are used to cover different needs in terms of geometrical shape and frequency range.
6450 Ultrasound System can drive Phased Array, Convex Array, Linear Array, Doppler probes and Volumetric probes (Bi-Scan probes).
The control panel is equipped with a pull-out Qwerty alphanumeric keyboard that allows data entry. The touchscreen has an emulation of the Qwerty keyboard that allows data entry and has additional controls and mode-depending keys, integrated in the touchscreen.
6450 Ultrasound System is equipped with wireless capability.
6450 Ultrasound System will be available on the market in two models with the following commercial names: MyLabE80, MyLabE85.
The difference between MyLabE80 and MyLabE85 models is only in the licenses configuration.
For both models, there is the ETC (Easy To Clean) version, having a keyboard with special controls and material, compatible with disinfection procedures.
6450 Ultrasound System, defined herein, introduces new features and accessories listed below:
- XStrain LA: XStrain allows clinicians to quantify endocardial velocities of contraction and relaxation and local deformation of the heart (Strain/Strain rate). XStrain LA is an advanced processing package for the Left Atrium analysis.
- New probe: IHX 6-25
6450 Ultrasound System employs the same fundamental technological characteristics as its predicate device cleared via K192157.

Dear Vanessa Ronconi:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
