Intended Use

Sonio Detect is intended to analyze fetal ultrasound images and clips using machine learning techniques to automatically detect views, detect anatomical structures within the views and verify quality criteria and characteristics of the views. The device is intended for use as a concurrent reading aid during the acquisition and interpretation of fetal ultrasound images.

Device Story

Sonio Detect is a SaaS-based concurrent reading aid for fetal ultrasound exams. It processes DICOM images/clips from ultrasound machines (GE, Samsung, Canon, Philips) via a local Edge software application. The system uses AI/ML to automatically detect specific fetal views, identify anatomical structures, and verify quality criteria and characteristics (e.g., placenta location, fetal sex). The software highlights unverified items in yellow on the user interface. Healthcare professionals review, override, or confirm the AI's outputs during or after the exam. This workflow assists clinicians in ensuring exam completeness and protocol adherence, potentially improving diagnostic consistency and efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were performed. Substantial equivalence was established via bench testing on an independent dataset of 36,769 fetal ultrasound images. Performance metrics (sensitivity/specificity) were reported for view detection, anatomical structure identification, and characteristic verification across trimesters, with sensitivities ranging from 0.861 to 0.987 and specificities from 0.856 to 0.987.

Technological Characteristics

SaaS platform; compatible with GE, Samsung, Canon, and Philips ultrasound systems. Uses AI/ML algorithms for image analysis (biometrics, colorimetry for 3D/Doppler). Connectivity via local Edge software (DICOM ingestion) to cloud-based processing. Software functions as a concurrent reading aid.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by healthcare professionals (sonographers, OB/GYN MFMs, fetal surgeons) as a concurrent reading aid during fetal ultrasound examinations (Trimester 1, 2, and 3; gestational age 11-37 weeks) to automatically detect views, anatomical structures, and verify quality criteria and characteristics.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Device Description Sonio Detect is a Software as a Service SaaS solution that aims at helping sonographers, OB/GYN MFMs and Fetal surgeons (all three designated as healthcare professionals i.e. HCP in the following) to perform their routine fetal ultrasound examinations in real-time. Sonio Detect can be used by Healthcare Professionals HCPs during fetal ultrasound exams for Trimester 1, Trimester 2 and Trimester 3 of the fetus (GA: from 11 weeks to 37 weeks). The software is intended to assist HCPs in assuring during and after their examination that the examination is complete and all images were collected according to their protocol. Sonio Detect requires the following: - Edge Software (described below) to install on a server on the same network as the ● Ultrasound Machine; - . SaaS accessibility from any internet browser (recommended browser: Google Chrome). Sonio's Edge Software is a light-weight application that runs on a server (computer) connected to the same network as the Ultrasound Machine. Sonio Edge Software is installed on the HCP server (computer) and network and the main purpose is to receive DICOM instances from the Ultrasound Machine and upload them to Sonio's Cloud to be used by Sonio Detect. Sonio Detect receives fetal ultrasound images and clips from the ultrasound machine, that are submitted through the edge software by the performing healthcare professional, in real-time and performs the following: - Automatically detect views; ● - Automatically detect anatomical structures within the supported views; . - Automatically verify quality criteria and characteristics of the supported views by checking whether they conform to standardized quality criteria Quality criteria are related to: - The presence of an anatomical structure; ● - . The absence of an anatomical structure: Characteristics are related to other items than quality criteria: - . Location of the placenta - . Fetus sex Sonio Detect then automatically associates the image to its detected view. It also highlights in yellow the view and/or the corresponding quality criteria or characteristics if there are unverified items: quality criteria or characteristics not verified or view not detected. The end user can interact with the software to override the Sonio Detect's outputs (reassign the image to another view or unassign it or assign it if it was not assigned, changes the status of a quality criteria from verified to unverified or from unverified to verified) and manually set the characteristics of the views. The user has the ability to review and edit/override the matching at any time during or at the end of the exam. {5}------------------------------------------------ The list of views, anatomical structures, quality criteria and characteristics that can be automatically detected and verified by the software are detailed in tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 below. ## Table 1: List of views per trimester that can be automatically detected by Sonio Detect | Trimester | View | |----------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | First Trimester | 1.

The results of the standalone performance testing demonstrated that Sonio Detect performs the following, as summarized in table below: | Items (fetal ultrasound views, anatomical structures and characteristics automatically detected) | Sensitivity | | Specificity | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|--------------------|-------------------|--------------------| | | Point Estimate | Wilson CI (95%) | Point Estimate | Wilson CI (95%) | | Automatic detection of 3D fetal ultrasound images | 0.892 | (0.836-0.931) | - | - | | Automatic detection of Doppler fetal ultrasound images | 0.973 | (0.937-0.988) | - | - | | Automatic detection of fetal ultrasound views through reading of annotations on images | 0.913 | (0.852-0.951) | - | - | | Automatic detection of 7 T1 fetal ultrasound images | 0.914 | (0.906-0.921) | - | - | | Automatic detection of 18 T2/T3 fetal ultrasound images | 0.937 | (0.933-0.940) | - | - | | Automatic detection of 8 fetal brain anatomical structures on the views "Transthalamic", "Transventricular", "Transcerebellar" at T2/T3 | 0.934 | (0.925-0.943) | 0.949 | (0.942-0.955) | | Automatic detection of 6 fetal thorax and heart anatomical structures on the views "Four chambers", "LVOT", “RVOT", "Three vessels or Three vessels and trachea", "Abdominal Circumference", "Axial view of the kidneys" at T1 | 0.861 | (0.841-0.878) | 0.938 | (0.926-0.948) | | Automatic detection of 21 fetal thorax and heart anatomical structures on the views "Four chambers", "LVOT", “RVOT”, "Three vessels or Three vessels and trachea", "Abdominal Circumference”, “Axial view of the kidneys" at T2/T3 | 0.919 | (0.913-0.924) | 0.976 | (0.974-0.978) | | Automatic detection of 4 fetal placenta anatomical structures on the views "Placenta insertion", "Placenta location" at T2/T3 | 0.967 | (0.955-0.975) | 0.856 | (0.838-0.871) | | Items (fetal ultrasound views, anatomical structures and characteristics automatically detected) | Sensitivity | | Specificity | | | | Point Estimate | Wilson CI (95%) | Point Estimate | Wilson CI (95%) | | Automatic detection of 8 fetal CRL/NT/Profile anatomical structures on the views "Crown Rump Length", “Nuchal Translucency”, “Profile” at T1 | 0.898 | (0.885-0.910) | 0.862 | (0.845-0.878) | | Automatic detection of 6 fetal CRL/NT/Profile anatomical structures on the views "Crown Rump Length", “Nuchal Translucency”, “Profile” at T2/T3 | 0.893 | (0.879-0.906) | 0.956 | (0.949-0.962) | | Automatic detection of the Anterior placenta location for the views "Placenta insertion", "Placenta location" at T2/T3 | 0.959 | (0.918-0.980) | 0.966 | (0.924-0.986) | | Automatic detection of the Posterior placenta location for the views "Placenta insertion", "Placenta location" at T2/T3 | 0.966 | (0.924-0.986) | 0.959 | (0.918-0.980) | | Automatic detection of the "Female sex" for fetal sex for the view "External Genitalia" | 0.977 | (0.942-0.991) | 0.987 | (0.963-0.996) | | Automatic detection of the "Male sex" for fetal sex for the view "External Genitalia" | 0.987 | (0.963-0.996) | 0.977 | (0.942-0.991) | #### Table 6: results of the standalone performance testing {14}------------------------------------------------ Sonio 510(k) Premarket Notification Submission Additionally, the performance for the detection of views and structures was also validated for subgroups including: Ultrasound machine manufacturer, BMI, maternal age, gestational age and race/ethnicity when appropriate. Sonio Detect was validated only with GE, Canon, Philips and Samsung Ultrasound devices and is intended only to be used with these Ultrasound vendors. The results of verification and performance testing demonstrate the safe and effective use of Sonio Detect. ## Clinical Study Not applicable. Clinical studies are not necessary to establish the substantial equivalence of this device. {15}------------------------------------------------ ## VIII. Conclusions Sonio Detect's intended users, clinical outcome and clinical applications are similar to those of the predicate device Sonio Detect, the cleared version in K230365. The technological characteristics differences identified and discussed in Section VI do not raise any different questions of safety and effectiveness of the device. Furthermore, results of successful verification and validation activities and additional bench performance testing do not raise any new issue regarding the safety and effectiveness of the device. Thus, Sonio Detect is substantially equivalent to its predicate Sonio Detect (K230365).
