The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission for GE Healthcare's Voluson E Series ultrasound systems. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and detailed device performance metrics for a new clinical application.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, device performance, sample sizes, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set information are not available in this document. This submission details an update to existing devices with improved hardware and minor software improvements, asserting that the intended use and performance remain substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate.
Here's what can be extracted and what is not available from the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated as pass/fail criteria for a new clinical performance study. The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through a comparison of technological characteristics, safety standards, and intended use as described in the "Determination of Substantial Equivalence" section. Implicitly, the acceptance criteria are that the updated device must meet the same safety, effectiveness, and performance levels as its predicate, especially concerning acoustic output, electrical/thermal/mechanical safety, biocompatibility, and software functionality.
- Reported Device Performance: No specific numerical performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) are provided in this document as it's not a clinical performance study. The document states:
- "The proposed Voluson E Series (Voluson E6 / Voluson E8 / Voluson E10) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regards to intended use, imaging capabilities, technological characteristics and safety and effectiveness."
- "The proposed Voluson E Series and predicate Voluson E Series systems have the same clinical intended use."
- "The proposed Voluson E Series and predicate Voluson E Series systems have the same imaging modes."
- "The proposed Voluson E Series and predicate Voluson E Series systems have similar capability in terms of performing measurements, capturing digital images, reviewing and reporting studies."
- "The systems have acoustic power levels which are below the applicable FDA limits."
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not applicable/Not provided. This submission did not involve a clinical study with a test set of patient data to evaluate performance for a new clinical claim. It's a technical and regulatory review for substantial equivalence.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
- Not applicable/Not provided. No clinical ground truth was established as no clinical study was conducted for this submission.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not applicable/Not provided. No clinical study was performed.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- No. This document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission... did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." Therefore, no MRMC study was conducted. Also, the device is a general-purpose ultrasound system with improved hardware and existing software features, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool discussed in the context of improving human reader performance.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- No. This submission is for an ultrasound system, not a standalone algorithm.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not applicable/Not provided. No new clinical ground truth was established for this submission. The "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence primarily relies on technical specifications, adherence to safety standards, and documented equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device's performance, which was presumably established in its original clearance.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not applicable/Not provided. As no new clinical algorithm with a training set is discussed or developed in this submission, this information is not relevant. The software improvements mentioned are to existing features, implying an iterative development process rather than a new AI model requiring a separate training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not applicable/Not provided. No new training set or associated ground truth establishment is described in this document.

Voluson E6, Voluson E8, Voluson E10
The device is a general-purpose ultrasound system. Specific clinical applications remain the same as previously cleared: Fetal/OB; Abdominal (including GYN, pelvic and infertility monitoring/follicle development); Pediatric; Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid etc.); Neonatal and Adult Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Musculo-skeletal Conventional and Superficial; Peripheral Vascular; Transvaginal (including GYN); Transrectal
The systems are full-featured Track 3 ultrasound systems, primarily for general radiology use and specialized for OB/GYN with particular features for real-time 3D/4D acquisition. They consist of a mobile console with keyboard control panel color LCD/TFT touch panel color video display and optional image storage and printing devices. They provide high performance ultrasound imaging and analysis and have comprehensive networking and DICOM capability. They utilize a variety of linear, curved linear, matrix phased array transducers including mechanical and electronic scanning transducers, which provide highly accurate real-time three-dimensional imaging supporting all standard acquisition modes.
The provided document is a 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission for the GE Healthcare Voluson E6, Voluson E8, and Voluson E10 ultrasound systems. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria for an AI/ML-driven medical device. Instead, it details the substantial equivalence of the new Voluson E Series models to previously cleared predicate devices, primarily focusing on modifications to the ultrasound system itself and new transducer capabilities.
Specifically, the document states:
- "Summary of Clinical Tests: The subject of this premarket submission, Voluson E Series (Voluson E6 / Voluson E8 / Voluson E10), did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."
This indicates that clinical performance data for proving specific acceptance criteria related to AI/ML device performance (like accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, or human improvement with AI assistance) was not part of this particular submission for the overall ultrasound system.
The document mentions new software features like "IOTA Adnex Model" and "SonoCNS (Sono Central Nervous System)," but it does not specify performance metrics or studies conducted to establish their acceptance criteria or prove their performance. The "IOTA Adnex Model" is described as a tool to aid in the diagnosis of cancer by giving a probability of risk, explicitly stating "this software cannot be used to diagnose cancer." This suggests it is a non-diagnostic aid, which typically has different regulatory requirements compared to diagnostic AI/ML algorithms.
Therefore, based on the provided text, I cannot describe the acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria for an AI/ML device as it's not present in this 510(k) summary. The submission focuses on hardware and existing technology equivalence.

Voluson E6, Voluson E8, Voluson E10 Diagnostic Ultrasound System
The device is a general purpose ultrasound system. Specific clinical applications remain the same as previously cleared: Fetal/OB; Abdominal (including GYN, pelvic and infertility monitoring/follicle development); Pediatric; Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid etc.); Neonatal and Adult Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Musculo-skeletal Conventional and Superficial; Peripheral Vascular; Transvaginal (including GYN); Transrectal
The systems are full-featured Track 3 ultrasound systems, primarily for general radiology use and specialized for OB/GYN with particular features for realtime 3D/4D acquisition. They consist of a mobile console with keyboard control panel; color LCD/TFT touch panel, color video display and optional image storage and printing devices. They provide high performance ultrasound imaging and analysis and have comprehensive networking and DICOM capability. They utilize a variety of linear, curved linear, matrix phased array transducers including mechanical and electronic scanning transducers, which provide highly accurate realtime three dimensional imaging supporting all standard acquisition modes.
The provided FDA 510(k) summary for the GE Healthcare Voluson E6, Voluson E8, and Voluson E10 Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems does not contain details about acceptance criteria or a specific study that proves the device meets acceptance criteria in the context of an AI/algorithm-driven device with performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, etc.
This submission is for a general-purpose ultrasound system, and the "study" described is a non-clinical evaluation to ensure the device's safety and effectiveness compared to a predicate device. The information provided heavily emphasizes substantial equivalence to a previously cleared ultrasound system (K142472).
Therefore, I cannot extract information to fill in most of the requested fields related to acceptance criteria and device performance based on the input text. However, I can provide what is present, highlighting the absence of AI-specific performance criteria.
Here's an analysis based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
This document does not provide a table of performance acceptance criteria (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for an AI/algorithm feature, nor does it report such performance. The "acceptance criteria" here are framed around compliance with safety standards and equivalence to a predicate device.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
Not applicable in the context of AI performance studies. The non-clinical tests would have involved various hardware and software validation tests, but not a "test set" of clinical cases for AI performance.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
Not applicable for an AI performance study. Ground truth in this context would refer to engineering and safety standards compliance.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable for an AI performance study.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No. The document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, Voluson E Series (Voluson E6 / Voluson E8 / Voluson E10), did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." This indicates no MRMC study or any clinical study was performed for this 510(k) submission.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was Done
Not applicable for a standalone AI performance. The document describes an "improved version of an existing software feature SonoAVC called SonoAVC Antral (Antral follicle count)" which "The algorithm has more sensitivity to detect antral (small) follicles." However, no standalone performance study results or acceptance criteria for this improved sensitivity are provided. The claim is made, but no supporting data in the form of a performance study is included in this summary.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the general ultrasound system and its components (including the SonoAVC Antral feature), the "ground truth" for demonstrating substantial equivalence primarily relies on:
- Engineering measurements and tests against established medical device safety standards (e.g., acoustic output, electrical safety).
- Comparison to the performance and specifications of the predicate device (K142472 Voluson E6_E8_E10 Diagnostic Ultrasound System).
- The improved SonoAVC Antral feature claims "more sensitivity to detect antral (small) follicles," implying that some form of internal validation was done against either expert assessment or another reliable method to establish "ground truth" for follicle detection. However, details of such validation are not provided in this summary.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This document does not describe the development or training of an AI/ML model for which a training set size would be relevant. While the SonoAVC Antral is an algorithm, details on its development or training data are not present.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable. (See #8)
Summary of what is available from the document regarding "acceptance criteria" and "performance":
The acceptance criteria for this ultrasound system are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K142472 Voluson E6_E8_E10 Diagnostic Ultrasound System) regarding:
- Intended Use: The systems are for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis, with specific clinical applications (Fetal/OB, Abdominal, Pediatric, Small Organ, Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Cardiac, Musculo-skeletal, Peripheral Vascular, Transvaginal, Transrectal) remaining the same as previously cleared.
- Technological Characteristics: Employing the same fundamental scientific technology and imaging modes as predicate devices.
- Safety and Effectiveness:
- Manufactured with materials assessed as safe.
- Acoustic power levels below FDA limits.
- Compliance with various safety standards (AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37, NEMA UD 3, ISO10993-1, NEMA UD 2, ISO14971, NEMA DICOM).
- Similar capability in measurements, digital image capture, reviewing, and reporting.
- Designed in compliance with approved electrical and physical safety standards.
- Transducers are equivalent to the predicate (with some removals and additions of new transducers (IC9-D and eM6C G2) whose applications are within the predicate's indications for use).
- Addition of an improved SonoAVC Antral feature ("The algorithm has more sensitivity to detect antral (small) follicles"). No specific quantitative performance metric or acceptance criteria are given for this sensitivity improvement in this document.
- Addition of a Fetal Cardio preset (already cleared in the predicate).
- Addition of a card reader/bar code scanner.
Reported Device Performance:
The document primarily reports that the device conforms to applicable medical device safety standards and that its performance and features are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The only specific performance claim related to an algorithm is that SonoAVC Antral has "more sensitivity to detect antral (small) follicles," but no quantifiable performance metrics, specific acceptance criteria, or a study detailing this improvement are provided in this summary. The non-clinical tests evaluated the device for safety (acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning/disinfection, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, mechanical safety) and confirmed compliance with voluntary standards. No clinical studies were required or performed.
