More Information

No
The device description is for natural latex prophylactics used as ultrasound probe covers, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device description states it is a natural latex prophylactic to be sold and used solely as an ultrasound probe cover, which is a barrier device for medical instruments, not a device intended to treat or manage a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: This device is described as natural latex prophylactics (condoms) used as ultrasound probe covers. It is an accessory for an imaging modality (ultrasound) but does not itself diagnose, monitor, or treat a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical product (natural latex prophylactics) and does not mention any software components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The description explicitly states the intended use is "solely as ultrasound probe covers." This is a physical barrier function, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the material (natural latex) and its function as a cover for an ultrasound probe.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on biological or chemical processes.

The device is a medical device, specifically an accessory for an ultrasound machine, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

Prior to 1976, the Young Rubber Company produced natural latex prophylactics without a reservoir end that were sold both as ultrasound probe covers and natural latex condoms. Carter-Wallace, Inc. in 1986 acquired the Young Rubber Company and continued this production of condoms and ultrasound probe covers, aka endocavity ultrasound transducer natural latex sheaths. In 1987, Kiltex Corporation began producing natural latex prophylactics for Carter-Wallace using the identical formula and equipment as used by Carter-Wallace. In August 1992, CIVCO Medical Instruments Co., Inc. contracted with Kiltex Corporation to manufacture under their (CIVCO's) 510(K) #K895614 natural latex prophylactics to be sold and used solely as ultrasound probe covers. These probe covers are identical to those formerly (prior to August 1992) manufactured by Carter-Wallace, Inc. for CIVCO Medical Instruments Co., Inc. Since August 1992, CIVCO Medical Instruments Co., Inc. has continually marketed and sold Kiltex's production of probe covers.

To date, there is no ASTM or FDA written standard for probe covers. However, the Kiltex ultrasound probe covers have been manufactured to meet the standards for latex condoms as set forth in ASTM D-3492.

§ 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.
