    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    The document mentions "bench testing and clinical evaluation" and "additional performance testing, using test data and volunteer studies." However, it does not provide specific sample sizes for these test sets, nor does it specify the country of origin of the data or whether it was retrospective or prospective.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications:

    The document does not specify the number of experts used or their qualifications for establishing ground truth for any test sets. The "LI-RADS Checklist" and "Workflow Navigator" features reference ACR and ASE guidelines, implying expert consensus underlies these guidelines, but not directly for validating the device's implementation.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    The document does not describe any adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) for establishing ground truth or evaluating device performance in a multi-expert setting.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    The document does not report a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI vs. without AI assistance, nor does it provide any effect size for such a comparison. The device is a diagnostic ultrasound system, and while it has "smart" features, it's not presented as an AI-assisted diagnostic tool that directly impacts human reader interpretation in a comparative effectiveness study as typically found for CADe/CADx devices.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop) Performance:

    The document does not provide specific standalone performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC) for any of its "smart" or improved features. The description focuses on functionality, workflow improvement, and image quality enhancements within the context of a diagnostic ultrasound system used by a clinician.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The document does not explicitly state the type of ground truth used for evaluating the device's performance. The nature of an ultrasound system update suggests that ground truth would likely be established through:

    • Clinical observation/expert assessment: For image quality, workflow efficiency, and visualization improvements.
    • Conformance to guidelines: For features like the LI-RADS Checklist (ACR guidelines) and Workflow Navigator (ASE guidelines).
    • Technical specifications/measurements: For aspects like processing speed (iBeam+), resolution (Sensor 3D), and detection range (SMI G4).

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

    This information is not provided in the document. As this is an ultrasound system submission focusing on feature updates and substantial equivalence, the concept of a "training set" in the context of machine learning for novel AI algorithms is not explicitly addressed in the provided summary. While "Smart Fetal Heart," "Smart Optimization," and "SMI G4" might incorporate machine learning components, no details on their training are given.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    This information is not provided in the document, as no details about a "training set" or its ground truth establishment are mentioned.

    • Data storage (image, measurement and patient data)
    • Data transfer to and from remote systems (e.g. via DICOM®1)
    • Adding annotations to acquired image

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the 510(k) premarket notification for GE Medical Systems Ultrasound and Primary Care Diagnostics' 4D View device. The 4D View is a software product intended for image display of GE Ultrasound 3D/4D datasets for diagnostic purposes, including measurements.

    The submission claims substantial equivalence to its predicate device, 4D View (K131118), and references Voluson E10 (K172342). As the submission explicitly states, "The subject of this premarket submission, 4D View, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." Therefore, there is no study described that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria based on clinical performance.

    Based on the provided text, the following information can be extracted regarding the device and its assessment for substantial equivalence.

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

    Since no clinical studies were performed, there are no specific performance-based acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in terms of clinical accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy). The acceptance criteria for this submission are based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device in terms of:

    Acceptance Criteria CategoryEquivalence Claimed
    Intended UseSame
    CapabilitiesSame
    Technological CharacteristicsSame
    SafetySame
    EffectivenessSame

    The document states that the proposed 4D View adds workflow improvements and improvements to archive and DICOM functionality, implying performance enhancements in these areas compared to the predicate, but no quantitative metrics are given.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

    Not applicable, as no clinical studies with a test set were conducted.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

    Not applicable, as no clinical studies with a test set were conducted.

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

    Not applicable, as no clinical studies with a test set were conducted.

    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. The 4D View is described as a standalone software product primarily for displaying and measuring GE Ultrasound 3D/4D datasets. There is no mention of "AI" or a human-in-the-loop component that would require an MRMC study to assess reader improvement with AI assistance.

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

    While the device is a "standalone software product," the documentation does not describe a performance study for the algorithm without human-in-the-loop. The substantial equivalence is based on the device's functional and technological similarities to the predicate, not on a standalone performance study against a clinical ground truth.

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

    Not applicable, as no clinical studies were conducted that required establishing a clinical ground truth for performance evaluation.

    8. The sample size for the training set:

    Not applicable, as this device's submission does not describe an AI/machine learning model development process that would involve a training set.

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

    Not applicable, as this device's submission does not describe an AI/machine learning model development process.

    Summary of Non-Clinical Tests Used for Substantial Equivalence:

    The primary evidence for substantial equivalence for the 4D View device came from non-clinical tests and a comparison to its predicate device. These included:

    • Compliance with voluntary standards:
      • ISO 14971:2007 (Risk Management)
      • NEMA PS 3.1 -3.20 (DICOM standards)
      • IEC 62304:2006 (Medical device software life cycle process)
    • Quality assurance measures applied during development:
      • Risk Analysis
      • Requirements Reviews
      • Design Reviews
      • Testing on unit level (Module verification)
      • Integration testing (System verification)
      • Performance testing (Verification)

    The manufacturer concluded that the proposed 4D View is as safe, as effective, and its performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on these non-clinical assessments and the functional comparison.

    AI/ML Overview

    I am sorry, but the provided text does not contain sufficient information to answer your request. The document is a 510(k) summary for the HERA W10 Diagnostic Ultrasound System, which primarily focuses on establishing substantial equivalence to predicate devices and detailing the device's intended uses and compliance with safety standards.

    Specifically, the text does not include:

    • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
    • Details about sample sizes used for test sets, data provenance, number or qualifications of experts for ground truth, or adjudication methods for test sets.
    • Information about a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or its effect size.
    • Information about a standalone (algorithm only) performance study.
    • The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.).
    • The sample size for the training set or how its ground truth was established.

    In fact, section 11 explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, HERA W10, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." This indicates that detailed performance studies as you've requested were not part of this specific FDA submission.

    Intended Use

    The Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems Aplio i900 Model TUS-AI900, Aplio i800 Model TUS-AI800, Aplio i700 Model TUS-AI700 and Aplio i600 Model TUS-AI600 are indication of structures, and dynamic processes with the human body using ultrasound and to provide image information for diagnosis in the following clinical applications: fetal, abdominal, intra-operative (abdominal), pediatric, small organs, trans-rectal, neonatal cephalic, adult cephalic, cardiac (both adult and pediat, transesophageal, musculo-skeletal (both conventional and superficial) and laparoscopic.

    Device Description

    The Aplio i900 Model TUS-AI900, Aplio i800 Model TUS-AI800, Aplio i700 Model TUS-AI700 and Aplio i600 Model TUS-AI600, V3.1 are mobile diagnostic ultrasound systems. These systems are Track 3 devices that employ a wide array of probes including flat linear array, convex linear array, and sector array with frequency ranges between approximately 2 MHz to 30 MHz.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Aplio i900/i800/i700/i600 Diagnostic Ultrasound System, V3.1. It describes the device's indications for use, its substantial equivalence to predicate devices, and the performance testing conducted. However, the document does not describe a study involving human readers or AI assistance to improve human reader performance. It focuses solely on the device's technical capabilities and its equivalence to other cleared devices. Therefore, I cannot provide details on MRMC studies or human reader improvement with AI assistance based on this document.

    For the aspects that are covered, here is the information:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria & Reported Device Performance:

    The document describes performance testing for several features, primarily focusing on proving substantial equivalence to predicate devices and meeting specifications. Specific numerical acceptance criteria are not explicitly detailed in this summary, but the reported device performance implies that the features met specifications and performed as intended.

    Feature TestedAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Limb Volume MeasurementCorrect calculation of fractional limb volume (AVol, TVol) and estimated fetal weight (EFW) using test phantom and clinical evaluation data.Correctly calculated fractional limb volumes and estimated fetal weight using test data phantom and in a clinical evaluation.

      | Smart Fusion | Meeting specifications and performing as intended. | Met specifications and performed as intended. |
      | 2nd Console | Meeting specifications and performing as intended. | Met specifications and performed as intended. |

    2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    The document mentions "test data phantom and in a clinical evaluation" for Limb Volume Measurement, and "a wire phantom and test data" or "a string phantom, a flow phantom and test data" for Contrast Vector Imaging. However, specific sample sizes for these test sets are not provided. The provenance of the "clinical data" / "test data" and "volunteer studies" is not specified (e.g., country of origin, retrospective or prospective).

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

    The document does not mention the use of experts to establish ground truth for the described performance tests. The testing appears to rely on physical phantoms and "test data" which would likely have inherent or pre-defined ground truth based on their construction or known properties, or clinical data where the "truth" is established by the device's calculations or outputs being compared against an expected outcome or another measurement method.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    No information regarding adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) is provided. This type of information is usually relevant for studies involving human readers or subjective interpretations, which are not detailed here.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:

    No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done according to the provided text. The document describes technical performance testing and "clinical evaluation" but no studies involving human readers evaluating the device's impact on their performance, either with or without AI assistance. The submission focuses on device functionality and substantial equivalence.

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

    The performance testing described ("correctly calculated", "depicted correctly", "obtained correctly") relates to the device's algorithmic performance in specific modes and features using phantom and possibly clinical data. This would fall under standalone performance assessment, as it's evaluating the device's output directly against a known or expected result, rather than a human's interpretation.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:

    The ground truth for the tests described appears to be:

    • Physical Phantoms: For Limb Volume Measurement (test data phantom), Contrast Vector Imaging (wire phantom, string phantom, flow phantom). These phantoms are designed with known properties or simulated conditions that serve as ground truth.
    • Expected Results/Specifications: For the calculations and depictions, and for the improvements to existing features, the "ground truth" is implied to be that the device's output matches its design specifications and performs as intended.
    • Clinical Data: Used in conjunction with phantoms for Limb Volume Measurement. The nature of the ground truth within this clinical data (e.g., pathology, clinical outcomes, or another validated measurement method) is not explicitly stated, but it would logically be a reference standard for the values being calculated (fractional limb volume, EFW).
    • X-ray Image Data: For Breast Scan Guide, the locational information from the X-ray image serves as the ground truth against which the ultrasound system's display of the breast body mark is compared.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:

    The document is a 510(k) summary for an ultrasound system, not explicitly an AI/ML device per se, although it does mention "Smart Navigation" and "Smart 3D". It outlines performance testing for new and improved features and transducer models rather than a specific AI algorithm. As such, the document does not provide information on the sample size of a training set as it is not discussing the development of an AI model.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:

    As no training set is discussed or implied to exist for a specific AI algorithm in this Preamarket Notification summary, no information on how ground truth for a training set was established is provided.

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 accurate real-time three-dimensional imaging supporting all standard acquisition modes.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided text is related to a 510(k) premarket notification for the GE Healthcare Voluson P6 and Voluson P8 ultrasound systems. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through clinical studies.

    Therefore, the document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission, Voluson P6 / Voluson P8, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."

    This K-submission demonstrates equivalence based on:

    • Identical Intended Use: The Voluson P6/P8 has the same general-purpose ultrasound system indications for use as the previously cleared predicate (K160162 Voluson P Series; Voluson P6/P8 Diagnostic Ultrasound System).
    • Similar Technology: It employs the same fundamental scientific technology.
    • Comparison to Predicates: The systems are determined to be substantially equivalent in intended use, imaging capabilities, technological characteristics, safety, and effectiveness. This includes having the same clinical intended use, imaging modes, identical transducers, same indications for use, similar capabilities in measurements, digital image capture, review, and reporting.
    • Compliance with Safety Standards: The device has undergone non-clinical tests for acoustic output, biocompatibility, cleaning and disinfection effectiveness, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety, and conforms to applicable medical device safety standards. It also complies with voluntary standards like AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37, ISO10993-1, NEMA UD 2, ISO14971, and NEMA PS 3.1 - 3.20 (DICOM).
    • Quality Assurance Measures: The development included risk analysis, requirements reviews, design reviews, unit-level testing, integration testing, performance testing, and safety testing.
    • Biocompatibility: Transducer materials and other patient contact materials are biocompatible.

    Since no clinical studies were performed, there is no information available in this document to populate the following requested sections:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance: No specific performance metrics for clinical accuracy are provided as clinical studies were not required. Acceptance criteria would primarily relate to safety and functionality matching the predicate device.
    2. Sample sizes used for the test set and the data provenance: No test set of clinical images/data was used for performance evaluation.
    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts: No ground truth was established from experts for a clinical test set.
    4. Adjudication method: Not applicable as no clinical images were adjudicated.
    5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study: Not conducted.
    6. Standalone (algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) study: Not applicable as this is an ultrasound system, not an AI algorithm.
    7. Type of ground truth used: Not applicable.
    8. Sample size for the training set: Not applicable as there's no mention of an algorithm or training set for clinical performance.
    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established: Not applicable.

    In summary, this document is a 510(k) premarket notification for a general-purpose ultrasound system. Its "acceptance criteria" for FDA clearance are primarily based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing devices through non-clinical testing and shared intended use, not on specific performance metrics derived from clinical studies or AI algorithm validation.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document describes the GE Healthcare Voluson S8/S10/S10 Expert ultrasound system and its equivalence to predicate devices, but it does not provide acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific acceptance criteria in the way you've outlined for AI/ML performance evaluation.

    Instead, this is a 510(k) premarket notification summary from the FDA, focusing on:

    • Substantial Equivalence: Comparing the new device to existing legally marketed devices (predicates).
    • Safety and Effectiveness: Ensuring the device meets recognized safety standards and performs as intended.

    Here's an analysis based on the provided text, addressing your questions where possible:


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

    The document does not contain a table of numerical acceptance criteria or reported specific device performance metrics for AI/ML algorithms as typically seen in studies evaluating diagnostic accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).

    Instead, it asserts "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices, meaning its performance characteristics are deemed similar enough that it doesn't raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The "performance" discussed is related to its ability to perform diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis, offering various imaging modes, and complying with safety standards.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable / Not provided. This document specifies that "The subject of this premarket submission... did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." Therefore, no specific test set of patient data was used for performance evaluation of new AI/ML features in what would typically be considered an AI/ML clinical study.
    • Data Provenance (country of origin, retrospective/prospective): Not applicable / Not provided.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:

    • Number of Experts: Not applicable / Not provided. Since clinical studies for substantial equivalence were not required, there was no separate ground truth establishment process involving external experts for performance evaluation. The ground truth for general ultrasound imaging is established through standard medical practice and expert interpretation.
    • Qualifications of Experts: Not applicable / Not provided specifically for this submission.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

    • Adjudication Method: Not applicable / Not provided. No specific test set performance evaluation was described.

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

    • MRMC Study Done: No. The document explicitly states: "The subject of this premarket submission... did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence."
    • Effect Size of Human Readers with vs. without AI Assistance: Not applicable / Not provided.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:

    • Standalone Study Done: No. The document states that clinical studies were not required. The "improved version of existing software feature IOTA LR2 model called IOTA Simple Rules," "3D Analysis feature of the endometrial cavity called SonoMetrium," "enhanced feature of existing software feature HDlive called HDlive Silhouette," and "enhanced feature of existing software feature SRI called VSRI" are mentioned as being "previously cleared with K172342" or are enhancements of existing features. This indicates that these features were likely evaluated in the context of substantial equivalence to previous versions or predicate devices, rather than as new standalone AI detections requiring their own independent performance studies for this specific submission.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

    • Type of Ground Truth: Not explicitly stated or required for this type of submission. For ultrasound imaging systems, ground truth is typically established by medical professionals through established diagnostic protocols, expert interpretation, and potentially correlation with other diagnostic modalities or pathology where applicable. However, no specific ground truth was established for a new clinical performance study for this submission.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

    • Sample Size for Training Set: Not applicable / Not provided. As this submission focuses on substantial equivalence of an ultrasound system and enhancements to existing software features, specific AI model training data sizes are not detailed in this regulatory document.

    9. How Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:

    • How Ground Truth Was Established: Not applicable / Not provided.

    Summary of AI/ML Specifics from the Document:

    The document mentions several "improved" or "enhanced" software features that could potentially involve AI/ML components (e.g., IOTA Simple Rules, SonoMetrium, HDlive Silhouette, VSRI, Radiantflow). However, for this specific 510(k) submission (K180374), these features are explicitly stated to be either:

    • "previously cleared with K172342" (a reference predicate).
    • "an improved version of existing software feature" or "an enhanced feature of existing software feature."

    This implies that the novelty of these features for this particular submission was not in their initial safety and effectiveness evaluation as new AI/ML tools, but rather in their inclusion or minor enhancement within the Voluson S8/S10/S10 Expert system, aligning with existing predicate clearances. Therefore, detailed performance studies for these specific AI/ML components are not provided within this document, as they were likely addressed in previous clearances (like K172342 for the Voluson E Series).

    Conclusion: This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for an ultrasound system, demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices and adherence to general safety and performance standards. It does not contain the detailed AI/ML specific acceptance criteria or performance study data that you requested, as the submission strategy relied on substantial equivalence rather than novel clinical performance data for new AI/ML features.

    K170445 LOGIQ S8 Diagnostic Ultrasound System, K172342 Voluson E6/E8/E10 Diagnostic Ultrasound System

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    The device is intended for use by a qualified physician for ultrasound evaluation of Fetal; Abdominal; Pediatric; Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid); Neonatal Cephalic; Cardiac (adult and pediatric); Peripheral Vascular; Musculo-skeletal Conventional and Superficial; Urology (including prostate); Transvaginal; Transesophageal and Intraoperative (vascular).

    Device Description

    The LOGIQ E10 is a full featured, general purpose diagnostic ultrasound system which consists of a mobile console approximately 585 mm wide (keyboard), 900 mm deep and 1300 mm high that provides digital acquisition, processing and display capability. The user interface includes a computer keyboard, specialized controls, 12-inch LCD touch screen and color widescreen monitor.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the LOGIQ E10 device:

    Important Note: The provided document is a 510(k) summary, which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a detailed clinical study for novel performance claims. The document explicitly states that "The subject of this premarket submission, LOGIQ E10, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence." Therefore, the information regarding acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria will be limited, primarily referencing the predicate device.


    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Since this is a 510(k) for a diagnostic ultrasound system, the "acceptance criteria" are implied to be that the new device performs "as safe, as effective, and its performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s)" (as stated in the conclusion). Specific quantitative acceptance criteria for image quality or diagnostic accuracy are not provided in this document, as clinical studies were not required. The performance is assessed by comparison to the established performance of the predicate devices.

    Acceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance
    Safety equivalent to predicate devicesConforms to applicable medical device safety standards (AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37, ISO10993-1, ISO14971, NEMA UD 2). Acoustic power levels are below FDA limits. Transducer materials are biocompatible.
    Effectiveness equivalent to predicate devicesEmploys the same fundamental scientific technology as predicate device(s). Has the same clinical intended use and imaging modes as the predicate LOGIQ E9. Similar capability in terms of measurements, digital image capture, review, and reporting studies.
    Substantial Equivalence to predicate devicesThe new platform (LOGIQ E10) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K163077 LOGIQ E9, K170445 LOGIQ S8, K172342 Voluson E6/E8/E10). This equivalence is based on similar technology, intended use, imaging modes, safety, and performance characteristics. Specific probes and features were migrated from other cleared GE devices.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    No specific test set or associated sample size is mentioned for a clinical performance study since none was required. The "testing" referred to in the document is primarily non-clinical, focusing on engineering verification and validation against technical standards and comparisons to existing predicate devices.

    • Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable, as no clinical test set was used/required for performance evaluation.
    • Data Provenance: Not applicable for clinical test data. Non-clinical data would originate from internal GE Healthcare testing.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    Not applicable, as no clinical test set was required, and thus no ground truth established by experts for such a set.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable, as no clinical test set was required.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

    Not applicable. The device described, LOGIQ E10, is a diagnostic ultrasound system, not an AI/CADe (Computer-Aided Detection/Diagnosis) device for image interpretation that would typically necessitate an MRMC study comparing human reader performance with and without AI assistance. The document focuses on the capabilities of the ultrasound system itself.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Study Was Done

    Not applicable. The LOGIQ E10 is a diagnostic ultrasound imaging system; its "performance" is inherently tied to image acquisition and display, which is then interpreted by a human physician. It is not an algorithm designed for standalone diagnostic output.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (Expert Consensus, Pathology, Outcomes Data, etc.)

    Not applicable for clinical performance studies. For non-clinical (engineering) verification, ground truth would be established through defined engineering specifications, phantom measurements (for acoustic output), and compliance with recognized standards.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable, as this is not an AI/Machine Learning device that requires a training set for algorithm development.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable, as this is not an AI/Machine Learning device.
