More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on traditional ultrasound technology and regulatory compliance testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is clearly indicated for "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis", making it a diagnostic device rather than a therapeutic one.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body". The "Device Description" also refers to it as a "diagnostic ultrasound and pulsed Doppler imaging system".

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "PC (computer) based and controlled real time, two dimensional, mechanical sector and electronic array diagnostic ultrasound and pulsed Doppler imaging system" and mentions "All probes currently intended for use... are either mechanical sector devices or electronic linear array". This indicates the device includes significant hardware components beyond just software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This examination is performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Perception's GPS-RST Ultrasound System is a diagnostic ultrasound system that produces images and blood flow analysis of the human body. This is an in vivo (within the living body) diagnostic method.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body," which aligns with in vivo imaging.
  • Lack of Specimen Handling: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing specimens from the body.

The device is a diagnostic imaging system that uses ultrasound waves to visualize internal structures and blood flow within the living patient. This is distinct from the analysis of biological samples in a laboratory setting, which is the hallmark of IVDs.
