Venus Ultimate-Dual, Venus Ultimate-Hepa, Venus Ultimate-Uro Diagnostic Ultrasound System is applicable for adults. It is intended for use in abdominal, superficial organs, trans-rectal, musculo-skeletal, peripheral vessel, urology exams.
Modes of operation include: B, B+C, B+C+D(PW), B+M Mode, Image fusion, Needle Line.
This device is a general purpose diagnostic ultrasound system intended for use by qualified and trained healthcare professionals for ultrasound imaging, measurement, display of the human body and fluid, which is intended to be used in a hospital or medical clinic.
Venus Ultimate-Dual, Venus Ultimate-Hepa, Venus Ultimate-Uro Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a medical, real-time, high-resolution ultrasound diagnosis system. It has a 24" multi-directional swiveled (non-touch) LCD monitor, a secondary 17" touch-display and cart. The System offers B, C, D, M Mode, as well as FUSION Mode which could synthesis real-time US images and preoperative images, such as CT and MRI. It could be equipped with convex-array, linear-array and intracavitary tracked probes, that supporting a wide range of clinical applications.
The provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the Venus Ultimate Diagnostic Ultrasound System does not contain information regarding the acceptance criteria for an AI/CAD (Computer-Aided Diagnosis) component or a study proving that such a component meets acceptance criteria.
The document primarily focuses on demonstrating the substantial equivalence of the Venus Ultimate Diagnostic Ultrasound System to a predicate ultrasound device (Resona R9S) based on:
- Indications for Use: Comparing the intended clinical applications.
- Operating Modes: Comparing the types of imaging modes available (B, C, D, M, etc.).
- Functions: Comparing features like Image Fusion and Needle Line/Biopsy Guidance.
- Non-Clinical Testing: Conformance to various safety, electrical, biological, and acoustic output standards.
Specifically, Section 8, "Clinical Studies," explicitly states: "Not applicable. The subject of this submission, Venus Ultimate-Dual, Venus Ultimate-Hepa, Venus Ultimate-Uro Diagnostic Ultrasound System, does not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."
This indicates that the clearance was based on similarity to existing ultrasound technology and adherence to performance and safety standards for the generalized ultrasound system itself, not on the performance of a specific AI algorithm or CAD feature that would require a clinical validation study with detailed acceptance criteria.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information (table of acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert qualifications, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, ground truth types, or training set details) because the provided text does not describe a clinical study for an AI/CAD component.
To answer your request, the input document would need to describe a specific AI or CAD feature within the ultrasound system and the clinical study conducted to validate its performance against defined acceptance criteria.

Dear Yuling Chen:
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.
