More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and provides no other indication of AI/ML use in the device description or performance studies.

No
Justification: The device's intended use and description explicitly state it is for "assessment and diagnosis of vascular status and disorders" and is a "diagnostic ultrasonic Doppler," indicating it is used to identify medical conditions rather than treat them.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states the device produces images "for assessment and diagnosis of vascular status and disorders." Additionally, the "Device Description" explicitly states, "The Explorer CVS device is a diagnostic ultrasonic Doppler."

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "diagnostic ultrasonic Doppler" and utilizes "multiple frequencies of transducers," which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Explorer CVS device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue). The Explorer CVS device uses ultrasound to image within the human body.
  • The intended use is for imaging and analysis of vasculature in vivo. This is a diagnostic imaging device, not a device that performs tests on biological samples.
  • The device description clearly states it's a "diagnostic ultrasonic Doppler". This is a type of medical imaging equipment.

The information provided describes a device used for non-invasive imaging and assessment of blood vessels within the body, which falls under the category of medical imaging devices, not IVDs.

§ 892.1550 Ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system.

(a)
Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II.
