Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including system specifications, thermal, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety testing, and compliance with FDA-recognized consensus standards (IEC 60601 series, ISO 10993, ISO 14971).
Technological Characteristics
Wireless linear array transducer (4-12 MHz); 8 transmit/receive channels. Connectivity: Wi-Fi to COTS iOS/Android tablets. Materials: Biocompatible per ISO 10993. Power: User-replaceable 3.7V Li-ion battery. Safety: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-37, IEC 60601-1-2. Software: App-based, DICOM 3.0 compliant. Form factor: Handheld, 210g, 150x58x41mm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for diagnostic ultrasound imaging of the human body, including pediatric, small organ (breast, thyroid, parathyroid, testicles), musculoskeletal (conventional and superficial), peripheral vessel, and needle guidance applications. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

Dear Mr. Job:
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. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

| <b>Summary of<br/>Clinical Tests</b> | The Biim Diagnostic Ultrasound System introduces no new indications for use, modes,<br>features, or technologies as compared to the currently marketed and predicate device<br>that require clinical testing. The clinical safety and effectiveness of ultrasound systems<br>with these characteristics are well accepted for both the currently marketed predicate<br>and subject device. |
| <b>Conclusions:</b> | The Biim Diagnostic Ultrasound System has similar indications for use, construction,<br>manufacturing materials, operating principals and specifications as the predicate device.<br>Therefore, Biim Ultrasound AS considers the Biim Diagnostic Ultrasound System<br>substantially equivalent to the predicate device. |
| <b>514 Performance<br/>Standards:</b> | There are no Sec. 514 performance standards for this device. |
| <b>Prescription Status:</b> | This is a prescription device. The prescription device statement appears in the labeling. |
| <b>Sterilization Sites:</b> | Not applicable. No components supplied sterile. |
| <b>Track:</b> | This is a Track 3 device. |
