    Device Description

    The ACUSON SC2000™ Diagnostic Ultrasound System is a multi-purpose mobile, software controlled diagnostic ultrasound system, with an on-screen display for thermal and mechanical indices, related to potential bio-effect mechanisms. Its function is to acquire primary or secondary harmonic ultrasound echo data, and display it in the following modes (The following modes below can be operated in combination or individually):

    • B-Mode
    • M-Mode .
    • Pulsed (PWD) Doppler Mode .
    • Continuous (CWD) Doppler Mode
    • Color Doppler Mode .
    • Amplitude Doppler Mode
    • Color Velocity Imaging .
    • 3D Imaging,
    • 4D Imaging (3D imaging in real time) .
    AI/ML Overview

    The provided document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the Siemens ACUSON SC2000™ Diagnostic Ultrasound System (K170315). It primarily details the device's indications for use and asserts substantial equivalence to a previously cleared predicate device (K162221). The document states that clinical data was NOT required for substantial equivalence, as the device is a Class II device and uses the same technology and operating principles as the predicate.

    Therefore, the submission does not include any studies proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or accuracy in a clinical context. The review focuses on technical parameters, safety, and equivalence to a predicate.

    However, based on the information provided, I can infer the implied acceptance criteria through compliance with standards and the "Substantial Equivalence Table" (page 22).

    Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, recognizing the absence of clinical performance studies:


    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

    Since no clinical performance metrics are reported, the "acceptance criteria" here are implied by the safety and technical standards compliance and the "Same" performance claims against the predicate.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Compliance with AAMI/ANSI 60601-1 (Basic Safety & Essential Performance)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with IEC 60601-2-37 (Ultrasonic Medical Diagnostic Monitoring)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with IEC 62366 (Application of Usability)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with IEC 62304 (Medical Device Software Life Cycle Process)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with NEMA UD-2 (Acoustic Output Measurement Standard)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with NEMA UD-3 (Real-Time Display of Thermal and Mechanical Acoustic Output Indices)Conforms with standard
    Compliance with ISO 10993-1 (Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices)Conforms with standard
    Acoustic OutputEvaluated, complies with standards
    BiocompatibilityEvaluated, complies with standards
    Cleaning and Disinfection EffectivenessEvaluated, complies with standards
    Thermal SafetyEvaluated, complies with standards
    Electromagnetic SafetyEvaluated, complies with standards
    Mechanical SafetyEvaluated, complies with standards
    Product Code(s) (IYO, IYN, ITX, OBJ)Same as predicate (K162221)
    Transducer Types (Matrix Array, Phased Array, Linear Array, Curved Array)Same as predicate (K162221)
    Modes of Operation (B, M, PWD, CWD, Color Doppler, Amplitude Doppler, Color Velocity Imaging, 3D, 4D)Same as predicate (K162221)
    Multi-Hertz multiple frequency imagingSame as predicate (K162221)
    Output display standard complianceSame as predicate (K162221)
    Dual screenSame as predicate (K162221)
    Acoustic clip captureSame as predicate (K162221)
    Cardiac Measurements and CalculationsSame as predicate (K162221)
    DTI™ Doppler tissue imagingSame as predicate (K162221)
    Contrast pulse sequencing technology (CPS)Same as predicate (K162221)
    TEQ and NTEQ ultrasound technology for CPSSame as predicate (K162221)
    Vascular Imaging (Calculation and Measurements)Same as predicate (K162221)
    Spatial CompoundingSame as predicate (K162221)
    Semi Auto Doppler Option (Trace Assist)Same as predicate (K162221)
    Transcranial ImagingSame as predicate (K162221)
    Wireless Network ConnectivitySame as predicate (K162221)
    DICOM CompatibilitySame as predicate (K162221)

    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. The document explicitly states that "clinical data is not required for substantial equivalence" (page 24). The evaluation was based on non-clinical tests (acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning, thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety) and comparison to a predicate device.


    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. No clinical test set or expert-established ground truth is mentioned. The assessment was based on engineering and safety standards.


    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    Not applicable. No clinical test set.


    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

    Not applicable. This is not an AI/CADe device, and no MRMC study or AI assistance is mentioned.


    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Not applicable. This is a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an algorithm, and no standalone performance study is mentioned.


    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    Not applicable. For the determination of substantial equivalence, the "ground truth" was compliance with established medical device safety and performance standards (e.g., IEC 60601 series, NEMA UD series, ISO 10993-1) and the technical specifications of the predicate device (K162221).


    8. The sample size for the training set

    Not applicable. No algorithms requiring a training set are discussed in the context of this 510(k) submission.


    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    Not applicable. No algorithms requiring a training set are discussed.
