The description focuses on standard ultrasound technology and 3D rendering based on processing slice images, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.
No
The device is described as a "diagnostic ultrasound system" used for "imaging body structures" to "aid in the diagnosis of disease or abnormality," not for treatment.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "indicated for imaging body structures in two and three dimensions to aid in the diagnosis of disease or abnormality" and refers to it as a "diagnostic ultrasound system." The "Device Description" also calls it a "diagnostic ultrasound transducer."
No
The device description explicitly states that the submission covers both the Aloka ASU-1000 transducer (a hardware component) and the associated Volume Mode 3-D rendering software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the device is a "diagnostic ultrasound transducer and associated accessories" and that it "transmits high frequency sound waves into the body" and processes reflected energy into images. This is an in vivo imaging technique, meaning it is used on a living organism, not on samples taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "imaging body structures in two and three dimensions to aid in the diagnosis of disease or abnormality." This further reinforces its use for direct imaging of the body.
Therefore, the Aloka ASU-1000 and Volume mode software, as described, is a diagnostic imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
This premarket notification has been submitted by Aloka Co., Ltd. and covers the Aloka ASU-1000 transducer and associated Volume Mode 3-D rendering software.
The proprietary name for the transducer is the Aloka ASU-1000 diagnostic ultrasound transducer. The 3-D rendering software is "Volume Mode". The common name for this type of device is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer and associated accessories.
The Aloka ASU-1000 and Volume mode software can be used on the Aloka SSD-1700 and SSD-1400 diagnostic ultrasound systems. These systems function in the same manner as other diagnostic ultrasound devices. High frequency sound waves are transmitted into the body by a piezo-electric transducer. In the body, differences in the acoustic impedance of different tissues reflect a certain amount of the ultrasound energy back to the transducer, where it is processed into slice images. The slice images are processed by the Volume Mode software into a 3-D surface rendering of the target tissues.
Mentions image processing
The slice images are processed by the Volume Mode software into a 3-D surface rendering of the target tissues.

§ 892.1570 Diagnostic ultrasonic transducer.
(a)
Identification. A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.(b)
Classification. Class II.

This premarket notification has been submitted by Aloka Co., Ltd. and covers the Aloka ASU-1000 transducer and associated Volume Mode 3-D rendering software. The address is:
10 Fairfield Boulevard Wallingford, CT. 06492
The contact person is Paul D. Smolenski, Manager, Quality and Regulatory Affairs.
The proprietary name for the transducer is the Aloka ASU-1000 diagnostic ultrasound transducer. The 3-D rendering software is "Volume Mode". The common name for this type of device is a diagnostic ultrasound transducer and associated accessories.
The items in this submission are covered under the following classifications:
90 ITX - Transducer, Ultrasonic, Diagnostic 90 IYN - Ultrasonic pulsed Doppler system and accessories
The above as stated in 21 CFR, part 892.1570, and 892.1550 have been classified as regulatory Class II.
The Aloka ASU-1000 and Volume mode software are substantially equivalent to several previously marketed 3-D rendering systems for ultrasound including the TomTek Echo-Scan system.
The ASU-1000 and Volume mode software can be used on the Aloka SSD-1700 and SSD-1400 diagnostic ultrasound systems. These systems function in the same manner as other diagnostic ultrasound devices. High frequency sound waves are transmitted into the body by a piezo-electric transducer. In the body, differences in the acoustic impedance of different tissues reflect a certain amount of the ultrasound energy back to the transducer, where it is processed into slice images. The slice images are processed by the Volume Mode software into a 3-D surface rendering of the target tissues.
The ASU-1000 and Volume mode software, like other marketed diagnostic ultrasound systems and 3-D rendering packages, is indicated for imaging body structures in two and three dimensions to aid in the diagnosis of disease or abnormality.

Dear Mr. Smolenski:
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 Aloka ASU-1000 Diagnostic Ultrasound Transducers intended for use with the following diagnostic ultrasound systems, as described in your premarket notification:
System Model Number
Aloka SSD-1700 Aloka SSD-1400
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 (QS) for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the FDA will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification does not affect any obligation you may have under sections 53 t and 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
Please be advised that the determination above is based on the fact that no medical devices have been demonstrated to be safe and effective for in vitro fertilization or percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, nor have any devices been marketed for these uses in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, or reclassified into class I (General Controls) or class II (Special Controls). FDA considers devices specifically intended for in vitro fertilization and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling to be investigational, and subject to the provision of the investigational device exemptions (IDE) regulations, 21 CFR, Part 812. Therefore, your product labeling must be consistent with FDA's position on this use.
