Intended Use
The system is a diagnostic ultrasound imaging system used by qualified and trained healthcare professionals for ultrasound imaging, human body fluid flow analysis and puncture and biopsy guidance.
Device Story
Ultrasound System 1300 is a mobile, software-controlled diagnostic ultrasound system for professional healthcare environments. It acquires, processes, and displays ultrasound data via a mobile console with a 19-inch clinical display and glass touchpad. The system supports various multi-frequency transducers for imaging, flow analysis, and biopsy guidance. It includes the Prostate Volume Assist (PVA) AI feature, which automates initial caliper placement for prostate volume calculations. Clinicians use the system to visualize anatomy and blood flow; the output assists in diagnostic decision-making and procedural guidance. The system provides thermal and mechanical indices for safety monitoring.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were required. Bench testing confirmed compliance with safety and performance standards (IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-37, IEC 62359). AI feature (PVA) validation used 13,952 diseased and 505 healthy images for training, with separate validation and test sets. Performance was verified by comparing automated caliper placement against manual placement by clinical experts (approx. 15 years' experience), showing mean deviations of 11% +/- 6% (transducer 9018) and 7% +/- 15% (transducer 9048).
Technological Characteristics
Mobile console with 19-inch optical bonded glass display and glass touch UI. Supports multi-frequency transducers (surface, endocavity, intraoperative). Connectivity includes DICOM (NEMA PS3.1-3.20). Software follows IEC 62304. Safety standards: ANSI/AAMI/ES 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-37, IEC 60601-1-2. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Features include B-mode, M-mode, VFI, Strain Elastography, CW Doppler, Contrast Imaging, PWD, and CFM.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fetal (obstetrics), abdominal, pediatric, small organ, adult cephalic (trans-cranial), neonatal cephalic, intra-operative, intra-operative neuro (neurosurgery), trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculoskeletal (conventional and superficial), cardiac adult, and peripheral vessel imaging in adult and pediatric populations. Contraindicated for ophthalmic use or any use causing the acoustic beam to pass through the eye. Cardiac adult application is not intended for direct use on the heart.
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 Bryan Behn:
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 (the 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 available 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

- · The table summarizes number of datasets used for each different purpose.
• Gender: Male.
· Age: patients scheduled for prostates biopsies (54 - 78 yrs) and healthy patients 30 -60 yrs old; the specific age of each individual patient is not collected.
· Ethnicity/Country: Czech Republic, Holland. Note, European population is representative of the US population for the PVA - workflow improvement case.
· Mix of data from curved and linear arrays.
· For the testing process, the segmentation part of the algorithm is tested using a standard metric of similarity. The test passed. The final algorithm including both segmentation and caliper placement is verified by visual evaluations by clinical experts validation testing comparing the initial caliper placement by the algorithm compared to manual placement by clinical personnel. The purpose is to compare the prostate volume calculation of PVA with volume measurement performed by clinical personnel. The clinical personnel had an average of about 15 years' experience in ultrasound. We used a freeware tool developed by the Oxford Imaging Group for manual caliper placement on given images. For testing, we use two data sets that have not been part of the training of the algorithm. Representing the 9018, we clinical end-user test in the Czech Republic and representing the 9048 using data acquired by in Amsterdam, Holland. For the latter, we generated images that correspond the scanner preset. Prostate L, as the image depth is 6.5 cm, the recommended minimum depth for PVA. The human caliper setters scored the images individually. They received the following instructions; The calipers were set
{17}------------------------------------------------
in pairs corresponding to a distance measurement, so calipers 1 and 2 form one distance measurement and calipers 3 and 4 form another distance measurement.
The validator used 2 distance measurements (using 4 calipers) on the transverse image and one distance measurement (using 2 calipers) on the sagittal image. The automatic initial placement was tested and determined for the 9018 to deviate 11% +/-6% compared to manual placement and for the 9048, the initial placement of the caliper is expected to deviate 7% +/- 15% compared to manual placement.
· The volumes used for test/validation purpose are completely distinct from the ones used during training process and there is no overlap between the two.
### Animal Testing
Not applicable - animal testing was not required to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
### Clinical Studies
Not applicable - clinical studies were not required to support substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
#### VIII. Conclusion
BK Medical ApS considers the proposed device to be as safe, as effective and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s).
