Intended Use
The intended use of EPIQ Ultrasound Diagnostic System is diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis of the human body. The intended use of Affiniti Series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems is diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis of the human body.
Device Story
EPIQ and Affiniti ultrasound systems receive ultrasound image data from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) exams. Two new software features are introduced: Smart View Select (SVS) and Segmental Wall Motion (SWM). SVS uses a deep learning AI engine to classify images by view and a heuristic algorithm to select optimal image triplets (A4C, A2C, A3C) for left ventricle (LV) analysis. SWM uses machine learning to perform border detection and tracking on these views to evaluate regional LV function, providing segmental wall motion scores and a Wall Motion Score Index (WMSI). The device is operated by trained healthcare professionals in clinics and hospitals. Output is displayed to the clinician for review and potential manual adjustment of scores. These features assist in the assessment of cardiovascular disease, supporting clinical decision-making by automating image selection and regional function quantification.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Two retrospective data analysis studies were performed. Study 1 (SVS workflow): Compared SVS-selected clips to manual selection for GLS and EF calculation; Pearson's correlation 0.911 (GLS) and 0.941 (EF), meeting acceptance criteria (lower confidence bound >0.8). Study 2 (SWM): Compared integrated SWM algorithm to LVivo SWM ground truth; Pearson's correlation 0.957 (manual workflow) and 0.913 (SVS workflow), meeting acceptance criteria (lower confidence bound >0.8).
Technological Characteristics
Software-only modification to existing Class II ultrasound systems. Features include deep learning-based view classification and machine learning-based segmental wall motion quantification. Complies with IEC 62304 (software lifecycle), IEC 62366-1 (usability), and ISO 14971 (risk management). Connectivity via DICOM. No hardware, acoustic, or biocompatibility changes.
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis of the human body, including abdominal, cardiac (adult, fetal, pediatric), cerebral vascular, cephalic (adult, neonatal), fetal/obstetric, gynecological, intraoperative (vascular, cardiac), intra-luminal, intra-cardiac echo, musculoskeletal (conventional, superficial), ophthalmic, urology, pediatric, peripheral vessel, small organ (breast, thyroid, testicle), transesophageal (cardiac), transrectal, transvaginal, and lung applications. Used in clinics, hospitals, and point-of-care settings by trained healthcare professionals.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ultrasonic pulsed doppler imaging system is a device that combines the features of continuous wave doppler-effect technology with pulsed-echo effect technology and is intended to determine stationary body tissue characteristics, such as depth or location of tissue interfaces or dynamic tissue characteristics such as velocity of blood or tissue motion. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.

#### III. Device Description
The purpose of this Special 510(k) Pre-Market Notification is to introduce the Smart View Select (SVS) software application onto the EPIQ Series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and to introduce the Segmental Wall Motion software application onto both the EPIQ and Affiniti Series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems.
Smart View Select is an automated software feature that assists the user in selection of images for analysis with the existing Philips AutoStrain LV or 2D Auto LV application in Adult Echo Transthoracic (TTE) examination. This feature automatically classifies each acquired image by view and selects an appropriate set of images for left ventricle (LV) analysis. The classification is based on a Deep Learning Al interface engine; the selection is a non-Al algorithm that considers the view classification and image depth to select the optimal set of images.
The Segmental Wall Motion software automatically evaluates the segmental (regional) function of the left ventricle (LV) from adult TTE echo examinations. For input, the SWM algorithm uses 3 apical views (A4C, A2C and A3C) and performs border detection and tracking to identify each of the LV segments based on the three views. The application then provides segmental wall motion scores for each of the 17 segments of the LV by using machine learning algorithms and an overall wall motion score index (WMSI) is calculated as the average of the segmental scores.
No hardware changes to the EPIQ or Affiniti systems are required when using SVS or SWM, and existing, cleared Philips TTE transducers are used with these software applications.
The SVS feature is supported by all EPIQ models running software version 11.0 or higher including EPIQ CVx/CVxi, EPIQ Elite Advanced, EPIQ Elite, EPIQ 7, EPIQ 5. The SWM feature is supported by the same EPIQ models running software version VM11.0 or higher, as well as all Affiniti models including Affiniti CVx, Affiniti 70, Affiniti 50, and Affiniti 30. The SVS and SWM software are associated with the cardiac adult indication.
