This device is intended to be used for applications in fetal, abdominal, intra-operative, pediatric, small organ, transrectal, and peripheral vessel scanning. Ultrasonic probes are available to obtain images either transrectally or intraoperatively. It is intended to by used by or on the order of a physician or similarly qualified health care professional. The UF-3500 is intended to be used in a doctors office and all hospital environments: ER ICU, CCU, OR, etc. This device is intended to be use on any patient; neonate, pediatric, or adult; where the placement and positioning of the transducer does not interfere with or complicate the treatment of the patient. This device is not intended for home use.
The UF-3500 applies ultrasound energy though the abdominal wall to obtain an image of the fetus and abdominal organs that can be used to determine the qestational age of the fetus or to detect abnormalities of the fetus or abdominal.organs.
The UF-3500, when used with the transrectal probe, applies ultrasound energy though the rectal wall to obtain an image of the abdominal organs that can be used to detect abnormalities of these organs.
The model UF-3500 is a portable, General Purpose Ultrasound Scanner. This ultrasonic device is designed to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interface and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. The resulting information is displayed on the system's 7 inch diagonal video monitor as a 16 level greyscale B-Mode image.
The system provides user flexibility for different measurement and calculations that are incorporated into the unit. General measurements include distance, area, circumferential length, volume, and angle. Fetal calculations include gestational week, expected date of confinement, and fetal weight. All fetal measurements are derived from either Tokyo University's system, Osaka University's system or the American/European system; the same systems used on the UF-4500
The UF-3500 can be used with any of eight (8) different linear transducers, only one of which may be active at any one time. An option is provided that will allow two probes to be simultaneously connected to the UF-3500; again, only one of which may be active at any time.
This 510(k) summary describes a general-purpose ultrasound scanner, the FUKUDA DENSHI FF sonic model UF-3500. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (FUKUDA DENSHI FF sonic model UF-4500) rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and performance metrics in the way a new, AI-driven diagnostic device would.
Therefore, many of the requested categories (e.g., sample size for test set, number of experts for ground truth, MRMC study, standalone performance, training set data) are not applicable or not provided in this type of submission. The "acceptance criteria" here are generally compliance with safety and performance standards for ultrasound devices, and "device performance" is demonstrated through meeting these standards and showing equivalence to the predicate device.
Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing the points where information is available:

| Acoustic Output | Compliance with AIUM "Acoustic Output Measurement and Labeling Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment", 1992 and power levels below pre-amendment acoustic power intensity levels listed in "Revised 510(k) Diagnostic Ultrasound Guidance for 1993" document. | "Additional testing was performed to demonstrate compliance with the voluntary AlUM 'Acoustic Output Measurement and Labeling Standard for Diagnostic Ultrasound Equipment', 1992" and "The UF-3500's acoustic out power levels were tested and found to be below the preamendment acoustic power intensity levels listed in the 'Revised 510(k) Diagnostic Ultrasound Guidance for 1993' document." |
| Electrical Safety | Compliance with ANSI/AAMI ES1-1993, "Safe current limits for electromedical apparatus", and UL 601, CSA 22.2 and AAMI standards for electrical safety for medical equipment (to prevent excessive electrical chassis leakage current). | "Finally, a hazard analysis of the system and its software was performed and testing was conducted to validate the systems overall operation." (General statement about hazard analysis). "The device is designed to meet UL 601, CSA 22.2 and AAMI standards for electrical safety for medical equipment..." Also, "Additional testing was performed to demonstrate compliance with the voluntary... ANSI/AAMI ES1-1993, 'Safe current limits for electromedical apparatus'." |
| Hazard Analysis & Software Validation | Hazard analysis of the system and its software, and validation of the system's overall operation.

"Any safety issues that may be raised by a software controlled medical device are the same issues already addressed by the predicate device and are addressed in the systems hazard analysis and in the system validation." "The design of the UF-3500 has taken into account all the above [risks including misdiagnosis]." |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size: Not applicable/Not provided. This submission describes engineering and compliance testing of the ultrasound machine itself, not a clinical study on patient data.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable/Not provided. The testing relates to the device's adherence to technical standards and its inherent safety characteristics.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Not applicable/Not provided. Ground truth in the context of diagnostic AI is not relevant for this type of submission which focuses on the base performance and safety of a physical ultrasound scanner.
4. Adjudication method for the test set
- Not applicable/Not provided.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- Not applicable/Not provided. This is not an AI-driven device and no MRMC study was mentioned.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not applicable/Not provided. This is a general-purpose ultrasound scanner, not a standalone AI algorithm. Its performance is inherent in its hardware and basic software functions for image acquisition and basic measurements.
7. The type of ground truth used
- Type of Ground Truth: For the technical and safety aspects, the "ground truth" is defined by the established industry standards (AIUM, ANSI/AAMI, UL, CSA) and FDA guidance documents. For functionality, the ground truth is its ability to replicate the functions and measurements of the predicate device.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable/Not provided. This device does not use an AI model that requires a training set in the contemporary sense. Its "training" would be through engineering design and calibration.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable/Not provided.
