No
The device description focuses on standard ultrasound technology, image processing controls, and measurement packages, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is described for "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis" and "diagnostic purposes", which points to diagnosis rather than therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" explicitly states "Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body". The "Device Description" also mentions "The device can be carried anywhere for diagnostic purposes."
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components such as a compact, self-contained unit, internal battery, multi-frequency probe technology, and physical dimensions, indicating it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). The device description clearly states it's an ultrasound scanning system that performs diagnostic imaging and fluid flow analysis of the human body. It uses ultrasonic waves to create images and analyze flow within the body, not to test samples taken from the body.
- The intended use and device description focus on imaging and analysis within the body. The listed applications (Fetal, Abdominal, Pediatric, Musculo-skeletal) are all areas where ultrasound is used for non-invasive imaging.
- There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The description details the technical aspects of the ultrasound system, its operating modes, measurements, and image adjustments, all related to the imaging process itself.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The AMB7 is compact, lightweight and completely self-contained (w12" x h10" x 120") portable multipurpose ultrasound scanning system as are the predicate devices. The device can be carried anywhere for diagnostic purposes. The unit may operate from either a power source of 110vac / 220vac or from its' internal battery. A fully charged battery is able to provide the unit with approximately 1.5 hours of continuous operation. The predicate devices do not provide a means for battery operation.
The AMIB7 uses a multi-frequency probe technology to produce high quality images (256 grey scale). The operator can select the best frequency, depending on the probe in use, to optimize near field imaging resolution and far field imaging penetration. The operator can move the focal point deeper through the image to reach the complex focus zone, to provide a better image resolution.
The system features several operating modes, as do the predicate devices, and offers the following exam capabilities: B-mode. It is designed to perform Abdominal, Cardiac, and peripheral vascular, Pediatric, Obstetrical/Gynecological, Musculo-skeletal and small parts. The AMIB7 also enables the user to print reports viewed on screen.
The AMIB7 allows the user to set up a wide variety of default parameters for easy operation like the predicate devices mentioned above. A sophisticated package of measurements and calculations ( Distance, Area, Circumference, Volume, Heart Rate, Ejection Fraction) are available B and M modes. In obstetric measurements for example, one can use the system equations and pre-programmed comparison tables or can set-up the unit and apply his own tables. The operator of the AMB7 unit can adjust the deplayed echo The system master gain allows the operator to uniformly control the gain level for all parts of the displayed image. The system Time Gain Compensation (TGC) allows for level adjustment of the echo amplification in near and far field (upper and the lower part of the echographic image).
To simplify the movement of the cursor and the positioning of the caliper during measurements, a trackpad is provided on the control panel. Most of the system functions were also assigned to keys," for rapid execution by the operator,

K990198 RE: AMIB7 Ultrasound Diagnostic System Dated: May 14, 1999 Received: may 28, 1999 Regulatory Class; II 21 CFR 892.1560/Procode: 90 IYO
Dear Mr. Riedl:
We have reviewed vour 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 legally marketed predicate 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the AMIB7 Ultrasonic Diagnostic System, as described in your premarket notification:
Transducer Model Number
AMO61 (Convex, 2.3-6.0 MHz)
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 531 and 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Page -2 - Mr. Riedl
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
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus permits your device to proceed to market.
