Intended Use
Ultramax ultrasonic diagnostic system is intended to assist the physician in the diagnosis of maxillary and frontal sinusitis by detecting fluid in the sinus cavity.
Device Description
The Ultramax is an A-scan, pulseecho device, equipped with a single unfocused flat 8 mm 3 MHz transducer. Pulse repetition rate is fixed at 300 Hz. The only controls on the device are the receiver gain, and the range that can be selected between "8" (0-8 cm), " 4 " (0-4 cm) and "4E" (4-8 cm). These selections do not effect the emitted acoustic power.

No
The device description details a simple A-scan ultrasound system with basic controls and no mention of advanced processing or learning algorithms.

No
The device is intended for diagnosis, not treatment.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the system is "intended to assist the physician in the diagnosis of maxillary and frontal sinusitis."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "pulseecho device, equipped with a single unfocused flat 8 mm 3 MHz transducer," which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, the Ultramax ultrasonic diagnostic system 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) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Ultramax Function: The Ultramax uses ultrasound to directly examine the sinus cavity within the body. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Ultramax falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic device, as it performs the diagnostic procedure directly on the patient's body.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(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.
