## Indications for Use

The SONOLINE Versa Pro ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: General Radiology, Abdominal, Intraoperative, Small Parts, Transcranial, OB/GYN, Pelvic, Neonatal Cephalic, Urology, Vascular, Peripheral Vascular, and Laparoscopic applications. The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes.

## Device Story

SONOLINE Versa Pro is a mobile, software-controlled diagnostic ultrasound system. Input: ultrasonic pulses transmitted into patient via transducer; return echoes received and processed. Output: B-Mode, M-Mode, Color Flow, Pulsed (PW) Doppler, and Continuous (CW) Doppler images on CRT display. Includes 6.5 MHz laparoscopic probe for intra-abdominal exams via small incisions. Used in clinical settings by healthcare professionals. System provides anatomical measurements and analysis packages for clinical diagnosis. Benefits: enables non-invasive visualization of internal structures and disease states.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. System complies with UL 2601, CSA 22.2 No. 601-1, AIUM/NEMA 1992 standards for thermal/mechanical indices, and EN60601 safety/EMC requirements.

## Technological Characteristics

Mobile ultrasound system; software-controlled electronics; linear array transducer (6.5 MHz); CRT display. Complies with UL 2601, CSA 22.2 No. 601-1, and IEC 601-1-1/1-2. Displays real-time thermal and mechanical indices per AIUM/NEMA 1992.

## Regulatory Identification

An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. 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.

2. Proprietary Name:
SONOLINE Versa Pro Diagnostic Ultrasound System

Common/Usual Name:
Diagnostic Ultrasound System with Accessories

Classification Name:
Ultrasonic Pulsed Doppler Imaging System (Product Code 90 YIN, 21 CFR 892.1550)

3. Predicate Device:
Siemens SONOLINE Versa Diagnostic Ultrasound System (K945773), 8/7/95.
Tetrad Corp., Laparoscope Ultrasound Transducer (K924204), 6/7/93.

4. Device Description:
The SONOLINE Versa Pro is a general purpose, mobile, software-controlled, diagnostic ultrasound system with an on-screen display for thermal and mechanical values related to potential bioeffect mechanisms. Its function is to acquire ultrasound data and display it in B-Mode, M-Mode, Color Flow Modes, Pulsed (PW) Doppler Mode, Continuous (CW) Doppler Mode, or in a combination of modes, on a CRT display.

The SONOLINE Versa Pro has been designed to meet the following product safety standards:

## 5. Intended Uses:

The SONOLINE Versa Pro ultrasound imaging system is intended for the following applications: General Radiology, Abdominal, Intraoperative, Small Parts, Transcranial, OB/GYN, Pelvic, Neonatal Cephalic, Urology, Vascular, Peripheral Vascular, and Laparoscopic applications.

The system also provides for the measurement of anatomical structures and for analysis packages that provide information that is used for clinical diagnosis purposes.

## 6. Technological Comparison to Predicate Device:

The SONOLINE Versa Pro is identical to the SONOLINE Versa in that both incorporate software controlled electronics to transmit ultrasonic pulses, via a transducer, into a patient, then receive return (echo) pulses and to convert those pulses into a visual display, to be provided information for use in the diagnosis of various disease states as well as normal conditions such as pregnancy and physical development. The operating principles of both systems are identical.

The Siemens 6.5 MHz Laparoscopic Probe is technologically equivalent to the Tetrad Laparoscope in that both incorporate a linear array transducer of 6.0 MHz center frequency on the end of an articulating arm. Both are intended for intra-abdominal ultrasound examinations via small abdominal incisions.
