Indications for Use
The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System (Model: SONON 300C) is intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body for general clinical applications including obstetrics (OB), gynecology (GY) and general (abdominal) imaging.
Device Story
SONON 300C is a wireless, hand-held, battery-operated diagnostic ultrasound system. It uses a 3.5 MHz convex transducer to emit ultrasound pulses into the body; reflected echoes are converted into electrical signals by piezoelectric crystals. These signals are processed and transmitted wirelessly to a commercial off-the-shelf iOS or Android mobile device running the SONON app. The app provides a touch-based interface for real-time B-mode 2D imaging, cine/freeze-frame review, and measurements (linear/elliptical). Used by healthcare professionals in hospitals, clinics, and medical offices. Output allows clinicians to visualize and measure anatomical structures, aiding in diagnosis. Benefits include portability and wireless integration with mobile platforms for point-of-care imaging.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical or animal testing was conducted. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including acoustic output measurements (NEMA UD2-2004), phantom-based measurement accuracy testing, display performance verification, usability engineering, and software validation (IEC 62304).
Technological Characteristics
Wireless hand-held convex transducer (3.5 MHz). Piezoelectric sensing. Battery-powered. Connectivity via wireless to iOS/Android mobile devices. Biocompatible patient-contacting materials (ISO 10993-1). Standards: IEC 60601-1 (safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (EMC), IEC 60601-2-37 (ultrasound safety), IEC 62359 (thermal/mechanical indices).
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body for general clinical applications including obstetrics, gynecology, and abdominal imaging in all patients.
Regulatory Classification

# Healcerion Co., Ltd. SONON Ultrasound Imaging System, Model: SONON 300C
The minimum requirements for the mobile devices that utilize the iOS or Android operating system for use with the SONON Ultrasound Imaging System. Model: SONON 300C are as follows:
| Item | Minimum requirements |
|-------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| | iPhone 5 / 5S / 6 / 6 plus |
| | iPad 3rd / 4th Generation / Air / Mini or later |
| Target Device | Galaxy S3 / S4 / S5 / Note 3, Note 4 |
| | Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 2013 version or later |
| | Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 2014 version or later |
| Mobile OS Version | iOS 7.0 or later |
| | Android 4.3 or later |
The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System is a portable, general-purpose, software-controlled, hand-held diagnostic ultrasound system that consists of (i) a commercial off-the-shelf iOS or Android mobile device. (ii) the SONON Ultrasound Imaging System software that runs as an app on the mobile device, (iii) the battery-operated, hand-held SONON Ultrasound Imaging System transducer that communicates wirelessly with iOS or Android mobile devices, and (iv) the instructions for use manual, battery, charger, and power cords.
The SONON software can be downloaded to an iOS or Android mobile device and utilizes an icon touch-based user interface. The software enables ultrasound image capture and review. controls for time gain, dynamic range, display of mirror image, focal length, brightness, contrast, linear/elliptical measurement, and image annotation, as well as storage and email transmission of images and videos. The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System allows the user to image in real time and review cine or freeze-frame images on the screen in a B-Mode. 2dimensional scan format. All images and data collected are stored in the mobile app. If the app is removed and reinstalled, all stored information is lost and cannot be recovered.
The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System utilizes pulsed-echo technology to determine the depth and location of tissue interfaces, and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. Ultrasound waves are emitted from the transducer, propagate through tissues, and return to the transducer as reflected echoes. The returned echoes are then converted into electrical impulses by transducer crystals and further processed in order to form the ultrasound image presented on the screen.

The device components are not supplied sterile and do not require sterilization prior to use.
# 5) Indications for Use
The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System (Model: SONON 300C) is intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body for general clinical applications including obstetrics (OB), gynecology (GY) and general (abdominal) imaging.
# 6) Technological Comparison to Predicate Devices
The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System and its predicate devices, the MobiUS and Penrith Elettra, are Track 3 systems that employ the same basic scientific technology for the acquisition and display of ultrasound images. They all operate in the same manner in that piezoelectric material in the transducer is used as a source to transmit sound waves into the body. Sound waves are reflected back to the transducer and converted to electrical signals that are processed and displayed as 2-dimensional images. The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System and the predicate devices allow for the visualization and measurement of body structures. All devices are intended to be used in clinical environments, including hospitals, clinics, and medical office settings, for the diagnosis of patients.
All devices are compact, portable, general-purpose, software-controlled diagnostic ultrasound imaging systems with hand-held probes. Both the SONON Ultrasound Imaging System and the Penrith Elettra devices utilize wireless network connectivity to run software and display images. Both the MobiUS and the SONON Ultrasound Imaging System are available in a 3.5 MHz ultrasound probe.
The patient-contacting surfaces of the subject and predicate devices have been found to be biocompatible for their intended application. The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System is manufactured and designed to the same electrical and safety standards as the predicate devices.
The SONON Ultrasound Imaging System display ranges from 4 to 10 inches depending on whether a mobile phone or tablet is used. This is similar to the range of display options available for the MobiUS and Penrith Elettra predicate devices.
