Intended Use
The LP13 is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer for use in laparoscopic surgery. The transducer can be used to image abdominal anatomy during laparoscopic surgical procedures. In Doppler mode, the transducer can provide information about blood flow in abdominal vessels
Device Description
The LP13 is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer intended to be used in laparoscopic surgical procedures. The transducer is introduced into the abdomen through a trocar following the procedure described in the operator's manual. The distal tip of the device contains the transducer element and is movable. Movement of the transducer is controlled by the levers located on the handle of the device.
More Information

None

No
The summary describes a standard ultrasound transducer with mechanical controls and does not mention any AI/ML capabilities or related performance studies.

No
The device is described as a "diagnostic ultrasound transducer" used for "imaging abdominal anatomy" and providing information about "blood flow". Its function is to provide diagnostic information, not to treat a condition.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that the LP13 is a "diagnostic ultrasound transducer."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "diagnostic ultrasound transducer" with a "distal tip" containing a "transducer element" and a "handle" with "levers," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • LP13 Function: The LP13 is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer used directly within the body during laparoscopic surgery to image abdominal anatomy and blood flow. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The description clearly indicates it's an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.

(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Substantial Equivalence Comparison Table

The table above illustrates the equivalence of the compared devices. The LP13 offers and additional mode which enhances its clinical utility. A moveable transducer allows the operator to achieve the best image by achieving an optimum imaging position, a feature not offered by the Aloka device. Based on the about comparison and in light of the minor differences noted, we believe the devices compared above are substantially equivalent
