No.
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found". The device description details signal processing and display of Doppler signal derivatives (Max Velocity trace, Max VTI, Corrected Flow Time) but does not suggest any AI-driven interpretation or decision-making.
No
The device is indicated for "noninvasive assessment of blood flow," which means it gathers information about a patient's condition, rather than providing treatment. It is a diagnostic device for assessment.
Yes
The device is intended for the noninvasive assessment of blood flow in peripheral vasculature, which involves measuring and displaying data (Max Velocity trace, Max VTI, and Corrected Flow Time) to aid in understanding a patient's physiological state. This assessment provides information that can be used to diagnose conditions related to blood flow.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of a "signal processing unit and an adhesive strap" and "transmits ultrasonic waves." It also undergoes extensive hardware verification and validation tests like "Acoustic Output," "Ultrasound Performance," "Electrical and Basic Safety Testing," and "Hardware Testing." While it includes a mobile application, it is an integral part of a physical ultrasound device.
No. An IVD is a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body, such as blood or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis or treatment. This device is an ultrasound device that directly measures blood flow in peripheral vasculature non-invasively, not by analyzing in vitro specimens.

Device Description
The FloPatch (FP120) is a non-invasive blood flow detection device to be used in a medical/hospital setting for use by a medical professional. The device uses ultrasound and the Doppler effect to assess the flow of blood. The device consists of a signal processing unit and an adhesive strap. The device transmits ultrasonic waves from the ultrasonic transducer to a peripheral vessel. The Doppler shifted ultrasonic waves are reflected by moving blood cells back to the ultrasonic flow transducer. The reflected signal is received by the signal processing unit which outputs the Doppler signal wirelessly to a mobile medical application. The mobile medical application then processes the Doppler signal and displays a Max Velocity trace, Max VTI (Velocity Time Integral) and the Corrected Flow Time.

Dear Prithul Bom:
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.
