Intended Use
The BladderManager® PC1 5000(+) is intended to project ultrasound energy through r he bladenwanager of the non-pregnant in order to obtain an image of the bladder that is used to determine bladder volume non-invasively. This capability is provided in 2 fundamental modes; 1) hand held probe, aimed by user to obtain reading and 2) Automatically monitor bladder volume via a garment-held probe on non-mobile, supine patient. Patients and/or caregivers are alerted visually and/or audibly when the bladder volume exceeds a pre-programmed threshold.
Device Description
The BladderManager PCI 5000 is a portable, battery powered ultrasound instrument designed for a patient to non-invasively monitor his or her bladder volume on an intermittent basis.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description of the device and studies does not mention any AI/ML components.

No
The device is described as an ultrasound instrument used to obtain an image of the bladder to determine bladder volume non-invasively, not to treat or cure a disease or condition. Its purpose is monitoring and alerting, not therapy.

No

The device is intended to determine bladder volume non-invasively and alert users when a pre-programmed threshold is exceeded, which is a monitoring function rather than a diagnostic one. While it provides an image of the bladder, its primary goal is to inform about volume changes, not to diagnose a specific condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "portable, battery powered ultrasound instrument" and mentions a "hand held probe" and a "garment-held probe," indicating it includes hardware components for ultrasound imaging.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • BladderManager Function: The BladderManager PCI 5000(+) uses ultrasound energy to non-invasively image the bladder and determine its volume. It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body. It works externally on the patient.

The device is an ultrasound device used for non-invasive bladder volume measurement.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Forty subjects were enrolled at two sites. Subjects were trained in the use of the device and fitted with the garment. The instrument was set to scan every 15 minutes and the alarm was set to 250 cc.

When the alarm sounded, the autoscan volume was recorded. The instrument was then placed in manual mode and the bladder volume was measured manually and recorded. The subject was then asked to void into a graduated receptacle. The voided volume was measured, and the post void residual volume was then manually measured and recorded.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A clinical study was performed to assess the capability of the BladderManager PCI 5000 to automatically track the bladder filling and emptying in a supine adult, and to alarm at a specific bladder volume. In this study, bladder volume measured in autoscan mode was compared to volume measured in the manual mode, and to voided volume.

Forty subjects were enrolled at two sites.

These data and analyses demonstrate that the BladderManager PCI 5000 used to measure bladder volume in autoscan mode is substantially equivalent to the BladderManager PCI 5000 used in manual mode. The study also showed that the device can accurately alarm at a preset volume to allow the patient or caregiver time to manage the urological needs of the patient.

A. Legally Marketed Predicate Devices

The BladderManager PCI 5000 is substantially equivalent to Diagnostic Ultrasound Corporation's previous model BladderManager PCI 5000 (K955840).

B. Device Description

The BladderManager PCI 5000 is a portable, battery powered ultrasound instrument designed for a patient to non-invasively monitor his or her bladder volume on an intermittent basis.

C. Indications for Use

ﻟﺔ

The BladderManager PCI 5000 projects ultrasound energy through the lower abdomen of the non-pregnant patient to obtain an image of the bladder that is used to determine bladder volume non-invasively.

D. Substantial Equivalence Summary

The predicate device also provides the same function and technological characteristics as described above for the new model BladderManager PCI 5000. The two models have the same indication for use and use the same mechanical sector scanning transducer to obtain the necessary data.

The new model is nearly identical to the predicate BladderManager PCI 5000 (K955840) with the following exceptions: the new model can be worn continually

by the patient with use of a garment, and can be set to automatically measure bladder volume at preset time intervals. Although there are some technological differences (software) incorporated to provide these features, the differences are minor and do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. In addition, accepted scientific methods exist for assessing the effects of the technological differences.

Technological Characteristics E.

The ultrasonic and electrical properties of the device are unchanged. The only modification is the addition of the autoscan mode, and the ability to wear the device with a garment. All safety testing reported in the previous model BladderManager PCI 5000 510(k) submission is applicable.

The hardware of the BladderManager PCI 5000 is unchanged. All testing reported in K955840 is applicable to this model.

A minor software change initiates the scan automatically at preset time intervals. Other than this change, the software for the current model is unchanged from the predicate model.

Testing F.

A clinical study was performed to assess the capability of the BladderManager PCI 5000 to automatically track the bladder filling and emptying in a supine adult, and to alarm at a specific bladder volume. In this study, bladder volume measured in autoscan mode was compared to volume measured in the manual mode, and to voided volume.

Forty subjects were enrolled at two sites. Subjects were trained in the use of the device and fitted with the garment. The instrument was set to scan every 15 minutes and the alarm was set to 250 cc.

When the alarm sounded, the autoscan volume was recorded. The instrument was then placed in manual mode and the bladder volume was measured manually and recorded. The subject was then asked to void into a graduated receptacle. The voided volume was measured, and the post void residual volume was then manually measured and recorded.

These data and analyses demonstrate that the BladderManager PCI 5000 used to measure bladder volume in autoscan mode is substantially equivalent to the BladderManager PCI 5000 used in manual mode. The study also showed that the device can accurately alarm at a preset volume to allow the patient or caregiver time to manage the urological needs of the patient.
