No
The provided text does not contain any keywords or descriptions related to AI or ML technology.

No
The device is described as a "non-invasive diagnostic system designed to assist in the detection of peripheral vascular diseases," indicating its purpose is diagnosis, not therapy.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is a "non-invasive diagnostic system designed to assist in the detection of peripheral vascular diseases."

No

The description mentions "Instrument is used in a vascular laboratory, clinic or hospital" and "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis" as input modalities, implying the use of hardware beyond just software for data acquisition.

Based on the provided information, the IMEXLAB 9000 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.
  • IMEXLAB 9000 description: The description states it is a "non-invasive diagnostic system" that uses "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis." This indicates it is a device that interacts with the body externally to gather information, rather than analyzing samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the IMEXLAB 9000 falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnosis, but not specifically an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 892.1550 Ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.

IMEXLAB 9000 Diagnostic Ultrasound Device Dated: January 13, 1998 Received: January 26, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 892.1550/Procode: 90 IYN

Dear Mr. Wagner:

We have reviewed your section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions Act (Act). The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practices, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the IMEXLAB 9000 as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Numbers

5 MHz CW 8 MHz CW

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval) it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
