Device Description
The SuperSonic Imagine® SuperSonic® HepaVu™ systems are cart based ultrasound imaging systems used to perform non-invasive diagnostic hepatology purpose ultrasound imaging studies. The system contains a scan converter and can be coupled to a variety of linear and curved trransducers to produce images, which are displayed on a LCD monitor. An adjustable control panel with integrated touch screen allows the user to perform an ultrasound exam quickly and efficiently in accordance with ALARA principles. The system also allows the user to perform measurements, capture images to digital memory or to an external device (such as a printer), and review diagnostic studies in the form of a report. The system functions in a manner identical to the predicate devices and transducers for the imaging modes: B-Mode (harmonic or fundamental), M-mode, Color Flow (and sub-modes as CFI-ColorFlow Imaging, CPI-ColorPower Imaging- also called Amplitude Doppler, dCPI-directional Color Power Imaging and Angio PLU.S), Pulsed Wave Doppler, 3D imaging, CEUS-Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound Imaging and for ShearWaveTM elastography and Strain Elastography. The principle software change with respect to the MACH software version is related to the following feature: - -Backscattering coefficient (BSc): The backscattering coefficient characterizes the ability of a tissue to reflect incoming ultrasound wave back to the direction from which they came. Local measurement of the backscattering is expressed in db/cm.str over a range of values (from -38 db/cm.str to -24 db/cm.str). Bsc PLUS mode is available for all Abdominal presets on C6-1X and C9-2X transducers.
More Information

No
The document describes standard ultrasound imaging modes and measurements, including new features like backscattering coefficient calculation. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related technologies in the intended use, device description, or performance studies summary. The predicate device also does not indicate AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is described as an "ultrasound diagnostic system" intended for "pulse echo ultrasound imaging" and "measurement of anatomical structures" to aid in "clinical management of adult and pediatric patients with liver disease." It functions as an imaging and measurement tool for diagnosis, not for treatment.

Yes.

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is an "ultrasound diagnostic system" and is "intended for general purpose pulse echo ultrasound imaging... of the human body." It further specifies its use for "imaging and measurement of anatomical structures" and notes that information delivered by the device "must be used by a licensed physician qualified to establish a diagnosis." The "Device Description" also clearly indicates that it is used to "perform non-invasive diagnostic hepatology purpose ultrasound imaging studies."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "cart based ultrasound imaging system" and includes hardware components like transducers, a scan converter, LCD monitor, and control panel. While it has software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The SuperSonic Imagine® SuperSonic® HepaVu™ system is an ultrasound diagnostic system. It uses sound waves to create images and perform measurements within the human body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "general purpose pulse echo ultrasound imaging, soft tissue viscoelasticity imaging, doppler fluid flow analysis of the human body." and for "imaging and measurement of anatomical structures." This is consistent with in-vivo imaging, not in-vitro analysis.

Therefore, while it is a diagnostic device, it falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.
