Device Story

Vscan Air is a battery-operated, pocket-sized, wireless diagnostic ultrasound system. It consists of a dual-headed probe (curved, linear, or sector array) and an app installed on iOS or Android devices. The system captures ultrasound signals, processes them, and displays images on the mobile device. It is used by healthcare professionals in hospitals, clinics, homes, or ambulances for basic/focused assessments, triage, and interventional guidance. The device includes an 'Auto bladder volume' feature using deep learning for automated caliper placement and integrates with Caption AI for real-time cardiac guidance and automated left ventricular ejection fraction estimation. Clinicians use the visual output to assist in diagnosis and procedural guidance, potentially improving diagnostic speed and accuracy in point-of-care settings.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical studies were required. Auto bladder volume performance was validated using a dataset of 4,014 images from 301 individuals (1,817 images from 142 individuals used for verification). The algorithm achieved an automatic caliper placement success rate of 92.24% (90% confidence level), with consistent performance across BMI subgroups (95% for normal, 92% for overweight). Verification data was independent of training/validation data. Compliance with electrical, thermal, and electromagnetic safety standards (IEC 60601 series) and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1) was confirmed.

Information about equipment and protocols used to collect images:

- Mix of data collected from three different Console variants: Vscan Air, Logiq E, and Logiq F. 86% of the total dataset was collected on Vscan Air.

Information about how the reference standard was derived from the dataset (i.e. the "truthing" process):

Ground truth annotations of the verification dataset were obtained as follows:

- In training/validation and verification datasets, annotators performed manual annotation on images converted from vscanet files.
- The annotators chose 4-6 images that represent different bladder volume status. On each view the annotation included 4 different landmarks, which represent the bladder edges:
Transverse: Anterior, Posterior, left and right.
Longitudinal: Head, Foot, Anterior and Posterior.
- These points would correspond to the locations where the measurement calipers would be placed for Bladder Volume Measurement.

Description of how independence of verification data from training data was ensured:

- The data used for the verification dataset is exclusive, comprising of completely independent subjects from data used during training/validation (tuning) processes and there is no overlap between the two.

Summary of Clinical Tests:

The subject of this premarket submission, Vscan Air, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.

Conclusion:

Based on the equipment design similarities, conformance to recognized performance standards, and performance testing, GE HealthCare considers the proposed Vscan Air to be as safe, effective, and performs in a substantially equivalent manner as the predicate Vscan Air (K231301).
