Intended Use
The SuperSonic Imagine AIXPLORER® MACH / SUPERSONIC MACH range ultrasound diagnostic systems and transducers are intended for general purpose pulse echo ultrasound imaging, soft tissue viscoelasticity imaging, doppler fluid flow analysis of the human body. The SuperSonic Imagine AIXPLORER® MACH / SUPERSONIC MACH ultrasound diagnostic systems are indicated for use in the following applications, for imaging and measurement of anatomical structures: Abdominal, Small Organs, Musculoskeletal, Superficial Musculoskeletal, Vascular, Intraoperative, OB-GYN, Pelvic, Pediatric, Urology, Trans-rectal, Trans-vaginal and Neonatal/Adult Cephalic, Non-invasive Cardiac. In addition, the SuperSonic Imagine AIXPLORER® MACH / SUPERSONIC MACH ultrasound diagnostic systems and associated transducers are intended for: -Measurements of abdominal anatomical structures, - Measurements of broad band shear wave speed, and tissue stiffness in internal structures of the liver and the spleen, - Measurements of brightness ratio between liver and kidney, - Visualization of abdominal vascularization, microvascularization and perfusion, - Quantification of abdominal vascularization and perfusion. The shearwave speed, beam attenuation, viscosity and stiffness measurements, the visualization of vascularization, microvascularization and perfusion of vascularization and perfusion may be used as an aid to clinical management of adult and pediatric patients with liver disease. Furthermore, the SuperSonic Imagine AIXPLORER® MACH / SUPERSONIC MACH ultrasound diagnostic systems and associated transducers are intended for: - Measurements of breast anatomical structures - · Measurements of broad band shear waves speed and tissue stiffness in internal structures of the breast - Visualization of breast structures and micro-vascularization - Visualization of breast masses morphology using shearwave elastography and micro-vascularization 2D mapping The shear waves speed and stiffness measurements may be used as an aid to management of women patients with breast masses, as shearwave elastography in conjunction with 2D gray scale imaging and vascularization provides added information to better characterize breast masses and improve the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound.
Device Story
Cart-based ultrasound system; utilizes console and various transducers (linear, curved, micro-convex, motorized linear, phased array) to acquire ultrasound data. Transforms acoustic inputs into B-mode, M-mode, Color Flow, Pulsed/Continuous Wave Doppler, 3D, CEUS, ShearWave elastography, and Strain elastography images. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings. Provides real-time visualization and quantitative measurements (e.g., shear wave speed, tissue stiffness, brightness ratio, vascularization/perfusion). Includes Bi-RADS lexicon classification interface for breast lesion characterization. Output aids clinical management of liver disease and breast mass assessment; improves diagnostic accuracy and characterization of lesions.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical evaluation via literature review. Evidence supports that Shear Wave elastography (SWE) combined with B-mode ultrasound improves specificity and positive predictive value for breast mass assessment, preserves sensitivity, and increases inter-observer agreement. SWE aids in defining management strategies for breast cancer by improving size measurement accuracy and correlating with cancer aggressiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Cart-based ultrasound system; LCD monitor; adjustable control panel with touchscreen. Transducers: linear, curved, micro-convex, motorized linear, phased array. Imaging modes: B-mode (harmonic/fundamental), M-mode, Color Flow (CFI, CPI, dCPI, Angio PL.U.S), PW/CW Doppler, 3D, CEUS, ShearWave/Strain elastography. Connectivity: digital memory, external printer. Safety: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-37, NEMA UD-2, NEMA UD-3, ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients for imaging and measurement of anatomical structures including abdominal, small organs, musculoskeletal, superficial musculoskeletal, vascular, intraoperative, OB-GYN, pelvic, pediatric, urology, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, neonatal/adult cephalic, and non-invasive cardiac applications. Includes liver disease management and breast mass characterization in women.
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.

Dear Jacques Souquet:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
