Intended Use
The FibroScan® Family of Products (Models: 502 Touch, 530 Compact, and 430 Mini+) is intended to provide 50Hz shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness as well as 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter) in internal structures of the body. FibroScan® Family of Products (Models: 502 Touch, 530 Compact, and 430 Mini+) is indicated for noninvasive measurement in the liver of 50 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness as well as 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter). The shear wave speed and stiffness, and CAP may be used as an aid to diagnosis and monitoring of adult patients with liver disease, as part of an overall assessment of the liver. Shear wave speed and stiffness may be used as an aid to clinical management of pediatric patients with liver disease.
Device Story
FibroScan system uses Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE) to assess liver tissue. Hand-held probe contains mechanical vibrator producing low-amplitude elastic waves; waves travel through skin/intercostal space into liver. Ultrasound tracks shear wave speed; system calculates tissue stiffness and CAP (3.5 MHz attenuation). Results displayed on system unit. Used by clinicians to aid diagnosis and monitoring of liver disease. Provides non-invasive alternative to traditional assessment methods; assists clinical decision-making regarding liver health.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical data provided; submission relies on existing clinical use and safety record of the previously cleared FibroScan family.
Technological Characteristics
Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE) technology. System unit with hand-held probe. Operates at 50Hz (shear wave) and 3.5 MHz (ultrasound). Complies with IEC 60601-2-37, NEMA UD 2-2004, IEC 62127 series, AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, IEC 62366, IEC 62304, and ISO 14971.
Indications for Use
Indicated for noninvasive measurement of liver 50 Hz shear wave speed, tissue stiffness, and 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP) in adult patients with liver disease (for diagnosis and monitoring) and pediatric patients with liver disease (for clinical management).
Regulatory Classification

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.

# Device Description
FibroScan® system consists of a system unit and a hand-held probe. It is based on Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE™) technology, and is designed to perform non-invasive measurements of liver shear wave speed and estimates of tissue stiffness. The probe containing a mechanical vibrator produces low-amplitude elastic waves that travel through the skin and intercostal space into the liver. Ultrasound is used to track the shear (elastic) wave, measure its speed and provide estimated stiffness. The results are displayed on the system unit.
The focus of this submission is the revision of the indications for use (IFU) for the FibroScan system by Echosens. The phrase "…an aid to clinical management…" is replaced by the phrase "…an aid to diagnosis and monitoring…"
