No
The document does not mention AI, ML, deep learning, or any related terms, and the description of the device and testing focuses on standard ultrasound technology and performance metrics.

No
The device is used to determine bladder volume non-invasively through imaging, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes
The device is described as "project[ing] ultrasound energy through the lower abdomen... to obtain an image of the bladder that is used to determine bladder volume non-invasively." The predicate device is also named "Diagnostic Ultrasound Corporation's BladderScan™ BVI 2500," indicating its diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable, battery-powered ultrasound instrument" and mentions hardware components like a "docking cradle" and "onboard computer," indicating it is a hardware device that utilizes software.

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.
  • Device Function: The BladderManager PCI 5000 and BladderScan BVI 5000 use ultrasound energy projected through the lower abdomen to obtain an image and determine bladder volume non-invasively. This means they are interacting with the body externally and not analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a non-invasive method for determining bladder volume.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a portable ultrasound instrument.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Pulsed echo ultrasonic imaging is an external imaging technique.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of medical devices that use imaging techniques to assess internal structures, rather than IVDs which analyze biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical testing included acoustic output testing, thermal, mechanical, and electrical safety testing, electromagnetic emissions and immunity testing, and biocompatibility testing. All non-clinical testing demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety, effectiveness, and performance.

Preliminary clinical testing of the BladderManager PCI 5000 and the BladderScan BVI 5000 was performed on adult ambulatory volunteers. No significant adverse effects or complications were noted. The results demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Clinical testing of the BladderManager PCI 5000 was performed at three independent clinical sites using adult spinal cord diseased patients, as well as healthy volunteers. No significant adverse effects or complications were noted. The results demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Device Description

The BladderManager PCI 5000 is a portable, battery-powered ultrasound instrument designed for a patient to non-invasively monitor his or her bladder volume on an intermittent basis. The BladderScan BVI 5000 is similar, except that it is designed for use by the clinician with the added feature of a "docking cradle" containing an onboard computer that provides a hard copy printout of the scan images and the bladder volume.

Intended Use

The BladderManager PCI 5000 and BladderScan BVI 5000 "project ultrasound energy through the lower abdomen of the non-pregnant patient to obtain an image of the bladder that is used to determine bladder volume non-invasively."

This statement of intended use is identical to that of the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics Comparison

The BladderManager PCI 5000 and BladderScan BVI 5000 are substantially equivalent to the other currently marketed BladderScan BVI 250() which is referenced above. The BladderManager PCI 5000 and BladderScan BVI 5000 and their predicate device are all pulsed echo ultrasonic imaging instruments dedicated to non-invasive measurement of urinary bladder volume. Although there are some technological differences between the BladderManager and its predicate, these differences are minor and raise no new questions of safety and effectiveness. In addition, accepted scientific methods exist for assessing the effects of the technological differences. The BladderManager PCI 5000 and BladderScan BVI 5000 differ from the BladderScan BVI 2500 in scanhead shape, patient contact materials, scan angle, ultrasonic coupling material, lateral resolution, acoustic output, and transducer model number. However, accepted scientific methods for biocompatibility testing, ultrasonic acoustic output testing, and clinical testing demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety. Also, accepted scientific methods for clinical accuracy testing demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of effectiveness.

Performance Data

Non-clinical testing included acoustic output testing, thermal, mechanical, and electrical safety testing, electromagnetic emissions and immunity testing, and biocompatibility testing. All non-clinical testing demonstrated that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety, effectiveness, and performance.

Preliminary clinical testing of the BladderManager PCI 5000 and the BladderScan BVI 5000 was performed on adult ambulatory volunteers. No significant adverse effects or complications were noted. The results demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Clinical testing of the BladderManager PCI 5000 was performed at three independent clinical sites using adult spinal cord diseased patients, as well as healthy volunteers. No significant adverse effects or complications were noted. The results demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion

Non-clinical and clinical testing methods demonstrate that the device is safe and effective, and performs as well as the legally marketed predicate device.
