# 3. Device Description
The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) Pre-Market Notification is to introduce the Flash Ultrasound System 5100 Point of Care (POC) device into the point-of-care environment. The Flash Ultrasound System 5100 POC is constructed with assets from the previously cleared 5000 Compact Series hardware platform (K222648) and a new Rhythm software platform that is new to the POC environment.
The Flash Ultrasound System 5100 POC supports a full touch screen interface on the main display as the primary means of directing the system, leveraging customer familiarity with smart devices and the ease of cleaning and maintenance of a pure glass surface.
Additionally, Flash Ultrasound System 5100 POC is designed to fit into tight spaces in a crowded Emergency Room (ER) with its small footprint, sleek design, and a large vertical tablet with ergonomic controls. The new Rhythm software offers point-of-contact workflow enhanced with assisted needle visualization, streamline point-of-care workflows such as flexible patient data management and AutoStrain EF. In addition to these POC workflows, the Rhythm software provides enhanced responsiveness with an easy-to-learn user interface as all controls are located in the same plane as the user's eye and hand for working more efficiently with the patient. The Flash Ultrasound System 5100 POC has two models, the 5100 POC and the 5100 POC Pro. The 5100 POC version does not support two transducers, C5-1 and X8-2t; however, the 5100 POC Pro supports all the transducers listed for the system.
