Intended Use
The INT13 is a diagnostic ultrasound intraoperative transducer for use in abdominal surgery. The transducer can be used to image abdominal anatomy during abdominal surgical procedures. In Doppler mode, the transducer can provide information about blood flow in abdominal vessels.
Device Description
The Esaote INT13 intraoperative transducer is designed and intended to be used in open (open as opposed to laparoscopic used with a trocar) abdominal surgical procedures. More specifically, the transducer is intended to be used to image abdominal anatomy during open surgical procedures.
More Information

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts, and the device description focuses on standard ultrasound functionality.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic ultrasound transducer used for imaging and providing information about blood flow, which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic.

Yes
The 'Intended Use / Indications for Use' section states, "The INT13 is a diagnostic ultrasound intraoperative transducer for use in abdominal surgery." Additionally, the 'Input Imaging Modality' is listed as "Diagnostic Ultrasound."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "transducer," which is a hardware component used in ultrasound imaging.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The INT13 is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer used during abdominal surgery to image anatomy and blood flow within the body. It directly interacts with the patient's internal tissues and vessels.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "diagnostic ultrasound intraoperative transducer for use in abdominal surgery" and to "image abdominal anatomy during abdominal surgical procedures." This is an in-vivo (within the living body) diagnostic method.

Therefore, the INT13 falls under the category of an in-vivo diagnostic device, not an in-vitro diagnostic device.

(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)

MATERIALS

Esaote has chosen to construct the INT13 transducer with the same materials they used in constructing the LP12 Laparoscopic probe. The LP12 device is currently under review with FDA under K941935 Esaote has received FDA's letter stating that all requirements have been satisfied for part one of K941935 (two-part submission), and that FDA is awaiting only acoustic output data. The materials for the laparoscopic probe described in K941935, and those used for the subject device, INT13, are:

PVC, Putnam Plastics Ultem, General Electric Plastics FDA, TRA-Bond Epoxy

Both probes will be used in the same type of application; abdominal intraoperative imaging

STERILIZATION

The INT13 transducer can be sterilized with Cidex™ solutions. The procedure for sterilizing the INT13 transducer is provided in the operator's manual.
