### B. Device Description
The Ventripoint VMS+ 4.0 System is a medical imaging device designed to assist clinicians in evaluating cardiac function through 3D reconstruction of heart chambers. It uses a Knowledge-Based Reconstruction (KBR) algorithm to recreate the heart's shape by capturing 2D ultrasound images at specific angles and referencing a database of MRI heart shape catalogs. The reconstructed 3D heart models are used to calculate volumes of any of the four chambers at end-diastolic and/or end-systolic phases. The software can also be installed on a separate workstation to import 3D datasets, MRI studies, and VMS+ studies.
The system employs user-driven anatomical control point placement to generate 3D models. Users manually adjust control points based on an anatomical template aligned with the patient's ultrasound images. An edge detection algorithm refines these points to match detected anatomical boundaries, ensuring model precision.

### H. Technological Characteristics
As shown in the device comparison below, the technological characteristics of the subject VMS+4.0 remain the same as the previously cleared device under K191493 . The similarities and differences do not alter the intended use of the device, nor do they affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject device relative to the predicate. Both the subject and predicate devices have the same intended an adjunct to existing ultrasound imaging systems and is intended to record, analyze, store and retrieve digital ultrasound images for computerized 3dimensional image processing. The VMS+ 4.0 system is indicated for use where Left Ventricle (LV), Right Ventricle (RV), Left Atrium (LA), and Right Atrium (RA) volumes and ejection fractions are warranted or desired.
The only change in the VMS+ 4.0 software compared to the predicate is adding an additional method for placing the first guesses for anatomical control points that are updated to a final location manually by a user and minor hardware modification to remove magnet from the transmitter and sensor. The automated control point first guess feature only provides an alternate method for obtaining first guesses for the location of the control points and users are still expected to update control point location in the same manner as the predicate before being used for further analysis. These proposed modifications are verified to ensure overall performance remains the same as the predicate with acceptable results.
