Intended Use

Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: Display of slow blood flows by displaying the Doppler backscatter amplitude of the fluid.

Device Description

The Power Doppler (a.k.a. Angio Doppler) is a new feature of a previously cleared Combison 530D Diagnostic Ultrasound scanner. The Power Doppler is an enhanced Doppler data processing feature that uses previously cleared Color Doppler hardware, but displays only a color encoded signal corresponding to the amplitude of the Doppler signal. It enables visualization of slow blood flows. The data received by the doppler is processed the same way as that for the color Doppler mode. The Power Doppler is used with previously cleared electronic probes.

AI/ML Overview

Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Combison 530D Power Doppler Mode:

Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification summary from 1997-1998 for an ultrasound device. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than a comprehensive "study" in the modern AI/machine learning sense. As such, many of the requested categories (like sample size for test/training sets, experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance for AI, etc.) are not applicable or not explicitly detailed in this type of regulatory submission for a traditional medical device prior to the widespread use of sophisticated AI algorithms. The "acceptance criteria" here primarily refer to meeting the performance characteristics of the predicate device.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating equivalence to the predicate device, the Toshiba SSA380 Color Angio Mode. The primary performance characteristic highlighted for the Power Doppler mode is the visualization of slow blood flows.

Acceptance Criteria (based on Predicate)Reported Device Performance (Combison 530D Power Doppler)
Display of slow blood flowsDisplay of slow blood flows (1 to 8 cm/sec)
Color encoded display of slow blood flowsColor encoded display of slow blood flows
Signal to be displayed: Mean power of Doppler backscatterSignal to be displayed: Mean power of Doppler backscatter
Wall motion filter: DigitalWall motion filter: Digital
Bits used for P-signal display: 5Bits used for P-signal display: 8
Filter for inline signals: Moving Average FilterFilter for inline signals: Inline filter
Acoustic output within safe limits (MI or TI greater than 1.0 reported for specific transducer/mode combinations)Acoustic output within safe limits (MI or TI greater than 1.0 reported for specific transducer/mode combinations)
Intended Use: Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis for various clinical applications (e.g., Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ, Peripheral Vascular, Transrectal, Transvaginal, Muscular-Skeletal Conventional, Intra-Operative)Extended Intended Use: "N" (new) for Amplitude Doppler across all applicable clinical applications for various transducers. "E" (added under Appendix E) for B, M, PWD, CWD, Color Doppler modes and "Combined (B-M)" for some transducers.

Explanation of "Acceptance Criteria" in this context: The device is demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to a legally marketed predicate device (Toshiba SSA380). Therefore, the "acceptance criteria" are effectively that the new device's technological characteristics and intended use are as safe and effective as the predicate device, or that any differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The table reflects a direct comparison of features to support this claim.


2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified. This type of 510(k) submission generally relies on a comparison of device specifications and, if necessary, limited verification and validation testing, not typically patient-based "test sets" in the clinical trial sense for AI.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The submission focuses on device design and comparison to the predicate, not clinical data from a specific country or retrospective/prospective study.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

  • Number of Experts: Not applicable/not specified. For an ultrasound device, "ground truth" often refers to the physical parameters and performance measurable on phantoms or through technical specifications, not expert interpretation of images in a blinded reader study which would be more common for AI-driven diagnostic tools.
  • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable/not specified.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

  • Adjudication Method: Not applicable/not specified. This would typically apply to reader studies where disagreements among expert interpretations are resolved, which is not described here.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and Effect Size

  • MRMC Study: No, an MRMC study was not done for this submission.
  • Effect Size of Human Readers with/without AI: Not applicable, as this is a new ultrasound imaging mode (Power Doppler) in a traditional diagnostic device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone Study (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

  • Standalone Performance Study: Not applicable in the context of an AI algorithm. The device's performance as a standalone tool (the ultrasound system itself) is implied by the comparison to the predicate device's technical specifications and safety data (e.g., acoustic output).

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Type of Ground Truth: The "ground truth" for this device's performance relies on engineering specifications, technical measurements (e.g., acoustic output), and functional equivalence to the predicate device's features. For example, the ability to display slow flow (1-8 cm/sec) is a functional specification, not a diagnostic finding confirmed by pathology or outcomes data in this submission. The "Intended Use" statements for various clinical applications are based on the cleared predicate device's applications and the inherent capabilities of ultrasound.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable. This device is an ultrasound system with a new processing mode, not a machine learning model that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: Not applicable, as there is no machine learning "training set" for this device.

Page 2 - Bob Leiker

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 Therefore, your product labeling must be consistent with FDA's CFR. Part 812 position on this use.

This determination of substantial equivalence is granted on the condition that prior to shipping the first device, you submit a postclearance special report. This report should contain complete information, including acoustic output measurements based on production line devices, requested in Appendix G, (enclosed) of the Center's September 30, 1997 "Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers." If the special report is incomplete or contains unacceptable values (e.g., acoustic output greater than approved levels), then the 510(k) clearance may not apply to the production units which as a result may be considered adulterated or misbranded.

The special report should reference the manufacturer's 510(k) number. It should be clearly and prominently marked "ADD-TO-FILE" and should be submitted in duplicate to:

Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health Document Mail Center (HFZ-401) 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville, Maryland 20850
