Intended Use
The TERASON™ Ultrasound System with Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler is intended for diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body; specific indications for use a tabulated in Section 4.3 of this submission.
Device Story
The TERASON Ultrasound System (Models t3000 and Echo) is a diagnostic ultrasound platform providing B-mode, M-mode, PWD, CWD, Color Doppler, and harmonic imaging. It processes ultrasound echoes to generate real-time images and flow analysis. The system features 128 transmit/receive channels (Echo model features 128 receive channels). It supports ECG triggering, tissue Doppler, and LV dyssynchrony assessment (Echo model). Operated by clinicians in hospitals, clinics, or military settings, the system provides visual output for diagnostic assessment and procedural guidance (e.g., needle/catheter placement). The device aids clinical decision-making by providing anatomical and hemodynamic information, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy and procedural safety.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by performance testing and comparison of technical specifications and intended uses to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Diagnostic ultrasound system with 128 transmit/receive channels. Modes: B, M, PWD, CWD, Color Doppler, Harmonic Imaging. Features include ECG trigger, tissue Doppler, and LV dyssynchrony assessment. Connectivity and software architecture are consistent with diagnostic ultrasound standards. Sterilization/biocompatibility requirements apply to transducers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic ultrasound imaging and fluid flow analysis in fetal, abdominal, intra-operative, pediatric, small organ, neonatal/adult cephalic, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculoskeletal, cardiac, and peripheral vessel applications. Includes ultrasound guidance for needle/catheter placement, cryosurgery, brachytherapy, and infertility monitoring. Used in hospital, clinic, and military field settings.
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.
