Regulatory Classification

Identification

An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

To the right of the star is the word "SonoStar" in green, with the "S" in "Sono" being slightly larger than the rest of the letters. Last but not least, the safety and effectiveness of the subject device (Model: UProbe-C) have been evaluated according to the same FDA recognized standards as the predicate device 1, which ensures that the subject device will be safe and effective for usage as the predicate device, that the two devices are substantial equivalent. As a result, it is reasonable to conclude that subject device (Model: UProbe-C) is substantial equivalent with predicate device 1. # 7.6.2 Comparison Table of Technological Characteristic with the Predicate Device for Model: UProbe-L | Comparison Items | Subject Device: Wireless Probe Type Ultrasound Scanner (Model: UProbe-L) | Predicate Device 1: SONON Ultrasound Imaging System (Model: SONON 300C) (K151339) | Predicate Device 2: Penrith Elettra Ultrasound System (K100598) | |------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Classification & Intended Use | | | | | Classification | IYO & ITX Class 2 | IYO & ITX Class 2 | IYN & IYO & ITX - Class 2 | | Intended Use | Intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body | Intended for diagnostic ultrasound echo imaging, measurement, and analysis of the human body | Intended for diagnostic imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body including: fetal, abdominal, | | | | | | | | for general clinical applications including small organ and peripheral vessel imaging. | for general clinical applications including obstetrics (OB), gynecology (GY) and general (abdominal) imaging. | intraoperative, intraoperative neurological, pediatric, small organ, neonatal, cephalic, cardiac, peripheral vessel, musculoskeletal (conventional), musculoskeletal (superficial). | | Technological Characteristics | | | | | Environment of Use | Hospital, clinic, and medical office settings | Hospital, clinic, and medical office settings | Hospital, clinic, and medical office settings | | Acoustic Output Levels | Below Track 3 FDA limits in accordance with Sept. 2008 ultrasound systems guidance document | Below Track 3 FDA limits in accordance with Sept. 2008 ultrasound systems guidance document | Below Track 3 FDA limits in accordance with Sept. 2008 ultrasound systems guidance document | | Imaging Capacities | • pulsed-echo ultrasound • Mode B (2D) scan • Mode BM scan | • pulsed-echo ultrasound • Mode B (2D) scan | • pulsed-echo and Doppler ultrasound • Mode B (2D), Color, Amplitude | | | | | Doppler | | Patient Population | For use in all patients | For use in all patients | For use in all patients | | Anatomic Structures / Clinical applications | General clinical applications, including small organ and peripheral vessel | General clinical applications, including fetal\obstetrics, gynecology, abdominal | General clinical applications, including fetal, abdominal, intraoperative, pediatric, small organ, cephalic, cardiac, peripheral vessel, and musculoskeletal | | Users | Healthcare professionals | Healthcare professionals | Healthcare professionals | | Principle / Method of Operation | Piezoelectric material in the transducer is used as an ultrasound source to transmit sound waves into the body.
