Indications for Use
The FibroScan® 430 Mini+ system is intended to provide 50Hz shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness as well as 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter) in internal structures of the body. FibroScan® 430 Mini+ is indicated for noninvasive measurement in the liver of 50 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness as well as 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter). The shear wave speed and stiffness, and CAP may be used as an aid to clinical management of adult patients with liver disease. Shear wave speed and stiffness may be used as an aid to clinical management of pediatric patients with liver disease.
Device Story
FibroScan 430 Mini+ is a portable diagnostic ultrasound system using Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE). A mechanical vibrator generates low-amplitude elastic waves (50 Hz) transmitted through skin/intercostal space into the liver. The device measures shear wave speed and tissue stiffness; it simultaneously calculates Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) at 3.5 MHz to estimate total ultrasonic wave attenuation. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers to aid management of liver disease. Output consists of quantitative stiffness and attenuation metrics, which clinicians use to assess liver condition. The device is a portable version of the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact, sharing identical ultrasound modules, firmware, and software cores.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Accuracy and precision were evaluated using calibrated phantoms with known elasticity and attenuation. Shear wave speed bias for the 430 Mini+ was ≤12% (M+) and <11% (XL+), comparable to the predicate. Precision for shear wave speed was <1% for both probes, performing better than the predicate. CAP bias and precision were also evaluated, with precision <1% for both probes. Results confirm performance equivalence to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE) system. Uses M+ and XL+ ultrasound probes. Operates at 50 Hz for shear wave speed and 3.5 MHz for CAP. Complies with IEC 60601-2-37, NEMA UD 2-2004, and AIUM MUS standards. Portable form factor. Software-based processing using identical ultrasound board and firmware as the predicate. Sterilization/biocompatibility per applicable medical device safety standards.
Indications for Use
Indicated for noninvasive measurement of liver 50 Hz shear wave speed, tissue stiffness, and 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP) in adult and pediatric patients with liver disease as an aid to clinical management.

#### Device Description
FibroScan® 430 Mini+, based on Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE™) technology, is designed to perform non-invasive measurements of liver shear wave speed and estimates of tissue stiffness. A mechanical vibrator produces low-amplitude elastic waves that travel through the skin and intercostal space into the liver. The FibroScan® 430 Mini+ CAP (Controlled Attenuation Parameter, ranging between 100 and 400 decibels per meter (dB/m), provides an estimation of the total ultrasonic wave attenuation (forward and return paths) at 3.5 MHz, measured concomitantly with tissue stiffness.
#### Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FibroScan® 430 Mini+ system is intended to provide 50Hz shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness as well as 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter) in internal structures of the body.
FibroScan® 430 Mini+ is indicated for noninvasive measurement in the liver of 50 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness as well as 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter). The shear wave speed and stiffness, and CAP may be used as an aid to clinical management of adult patients with liver disease.
Shear wave speed and stiffness may be used as an aid to clinical management of pediatric patients with liver disease.
#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The FibroScan® 430 Mini+ system is substantially equivalent to the FibroScan® 530 Compact system cleared via 510(k) #K160524. Both systems encompass a Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) designed to estimate the ultrasound attenuation (forward and return paths) at the frequency of 3.5 MHz, using the M+ and XL+ transducers. Additionally, both systems provide 50Hz shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness.

### Performance Data
The accuracy and precision of the device was tested for shear wave speed and CAP on calibrated phantoms with known elasticity and attenuation.
The shear wave speed bias, i.e. the difference in the mean shear wave speed measured and the nominal shear wave of the phantom, normalized by the nominal shear wave and expressed in percent was evaluated and compared to the corresponding value reported for the predicate device. Results show that while the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact shear wave speed bias results reported minimum and maximum values of [-12.9%; -2.6%] for the M+ probe and [-14.3%; -2.3%] for the XL+ probe; the range of shear wave speed bias results measured with the FibroScan 430 Mini+ device had minimum and maximum values of [-13.1%; -1.1%] for the M+ probe and [-13.3%; -2.5%] for the XL+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of bias values for the shear wave speed in the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact is <11% and <12% for the M+ and XL+ probes respectively, while the corresponding values for shear wave speed in the FibroScan 430 Mini+ is ≤12% and <11% respectively, and can therefore be considered as similar to the predicate.
The CAP bias, i.e. the difference in the mean CAP measured and the nominal CAP of the phantom, normalized by the nominal CAP and expressed as a percentage, was evaluated. The range of CAP bias values measured on the predicate FibroScan are [-1.5%; 4.7%] for the M+ probe and [1.4%; 3.9%] for the XL+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of bias values for CAP is <7% and <3% for the M+ and XL+ probes respectively.
The results are valid for FibroScan 430 Mini+ as the same acquisition platform model (US board and firmware) with identical ultrasound module and the same software core are used on FibroScan 530 Compact and FibroScan 430 Mini+.
Moreover, this was confirmed by the shear wave speed bias testing on FibroScan 430 Mini+ that showed no difference between both models.
{9}------------------------------------------------
The sheer wave speed precision measurement, i.e. the standard deviation of the independent measurements of the shear wave speed, normalized by the reference value was evaluated and compared to the corresponding value reported for the predicate device. Results show that while the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact shear wave speed precision results reported minimum and maximum values of [0%; 0.9%] for the M+ probe and [0%; 1.5%] for the XL+ probe; the range of shear wave speed results reported for the FibroScan 430 Mini+ are [0.2%; 0.7%] for the M+ probe and [0%; 0.7%] for the XL+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of precision values for the shear wave speed in the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact is <1% and <2% for the M+ and XL+ probes respectively, while the corresponding values in the FibroScan 430 Mini+ is <1% for both probes, and can therefore be considered as better than the predicate.
The CAP precision measurement, i.e. the standard deviation of the independent measurements of the CAP, normalized by the reference value was evaluated. The range of CAP precision values measured on the predicate FibroScan are [0.6%; 1.0%] and [0.9%; 1.3%] for M+ and XL+ probes respectively. Therefore, the overall range of precision values for CAP values is <1% for both probes.
The results are valid for FibroScan 430 Mini+ as the same acquisition platform model (US board and firmware) with identical ultrasound module and the same software core are used on FibroScan 530 Compact and FibroScan 430 Mini+.
Moreover, this was confirmed by the shear wave speed precision testing on FibroScan 430 Mini+ that showed no difference between both models.
In summary, the bias and the precision of the shear wave speed measured by the FibroScan 430 Mini+ are within the same range or better than those of the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact device. Therefore, the FibroScan 430 Mini+ system was found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate FibroScan 530 Compact device.
#### Substantial Equivalence
The modified FibroScan® System (Model 430 Mini+) has the same intended use and indications for use, uses the same operating principle and materials, incorporates the same basic design, emits the same energy and acquires the same information as the predicate device. The differences in size, weight and internal organization of its components do not raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy.
In summary, the FibroScan® 430 Mini+ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device the FibroScan® 530 Compact (#K160524) manufactured by the sponsor and cleared on March 18, 2016.
