Indications for Use
The FibroScan® 630 is intended to provide shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness as well as ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter) in internal structures of the body. The Shear wave speed and stiffness measurements may be used as an aid to clinical management of adult patients with liver disease. FibroScan® 630 is indicated for non-invasive measurement in the liver of 50 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness as well as determining a 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 diagnosis and monitoring of adult patients with liver disease, as part of an overall assessment of the liver. Shear wave speed and stiffness may be used as an aid in the clinical management of pediatric patients with liver disease. FibroScan® 630 (Expert) is also indicated for noninvasive measurement in the spleen of 100 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness that may be used as an aid to diagnosis, monitoring and clinical management of adult patients with liver disease, as part of an overall assessment of the liver.
Device Story
FibroScan® 630 is a diagnostic ultrasound system using Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE™) to measure liver and spleen tissue stiffness and ultrasound attenuation (CAP). The system comprises a unit and hand-held probe containing a mechanical vibrator that induces low-amplitude elastic waves in tissue. Ultrasound tracks these waves to calculate shear wave speed and stiffness. The 'Expert' configuration adds a B-mode ultrasound module (OEM) to assist in organ localization. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers, the device provides quantitative outputs (shear wave speed, stiffness, CAP) to aid in the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of liver disease. Benefits include non-invasive assessment of liver/spleen health, reducing the need for invasive procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study of 260 patients with chronic liver disease. Evaluated 100 Hz spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) vs. 50 Hz liver measurements. Success rate for 100 Hz SSM was 92.5% vs. 76.0% for 50 Hz (p < .001). Ancillary study on 26 subjects showed good intra-class (0.94) and inter-class (0.96) reproducibility. No adverse events reported.
Technological Characteristics
Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE™) system. Uses piezoelectric ultrasound transducers (S+, M+, XL+ probes) and an external electromechanical vibrator. FS630E includes a convex array B-mode transducer (3.5 MHz). Complies with IEC 60601-2-37, IEC 62127, IEC 60601-1, and IEC 62304 standards. Connectivity includes system unit display of shear wave speed (m/s), stiffness (kPa), and CAP (dB/m).
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-invasive measurement of 50 Hz shear wave speed and stiffness, and 3.5 MHz CAP in the liver of adult and pediatric patients with liver disease. FibroScan® 630 Expert is additionally indicated for non-invasive measurement of 100 Hz shear wave speed and stiffness in the spleen of adult patients with liver disease.

### Device Description
FibroScan® system consists of a system unit and a hand-held probe. It is based on Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE™) technology and is designed to perform non-invasive measurements of liver/spleen shear wave speed and estimates of tissue stiffness. The probe containing a mechanical vibrator produces low-amplitude elastic waves that travel through the skin and intercostal space into the liver/spleen. Ultrasound is used to track the shear (elastic) wave, measure its speed and provide estimated stiffness. The results are displayed on the system unit.
The focus of this submission is the new FibroScan® 630, available in two configurations: FibroScan® 630 'Prime' (FS630P) and FibroScan® 630 'Expert' (FS630E). Both FS630P and FS630E include improvements of the FibroScan appearance and user interface.
The FS630P version has the same indications as the previously cleared models and is only indicated for non-invasive measurement of 50 Hz shear wave speed in the liver and estimates of its stiffness, as well as determination of a 3.5 MHz ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter). The FS630E includes an expansion of the intended use to include noninvasive measurement of shear wave speed at 100Hz in the spleen and estimates of its stiffness as well as an inclusion of a B-Mode ultrasound imaging system to help the user locate the liver or spleen.
### Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The FibroScan® 630 system is substantially equivalent to the FibroScan® 530 Compact system cleared by 510(k) #K181547. Both systems provide 50Hz shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness in the liver using the S+, M+, and XL+ transducers. Additionally, 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.
The FibroScan® 630 modification relates to its size, weight, power, and electronics. The FS630E also includes modifications related to its software in order to accommodate the B-mode module and allow spleen stiffness measurement. The FibroScan® 630 system liver measurement is otherwise identical to the predicate FibroScan® 530 Compact system as related to the indications for use, operating principles, S+, M+, and XL+ probes, materials, examination procedure, imaging modes, imaging capabilities, information processing, performance measurements, and manufacturing process.
No new hardware elements were included in the submission apart from the addition of the localization ultrasound system, previously cleared by Telemed in 510(k) #K161968.
Similar to liver stiffness measurement (LSM), spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) using FibroScan® 630 Expert relies on VCTE™ method. As the spleen is stiffer and smaller than the liver, specific characteristics of the spleen stiffness examination were modified:
- Elastic shear wave at a controlled 100 Hz center frequency .
- Ultrasound pulse repetition frequency of 8000 Hz .
- Peak-to-peak amplitude of the vibration reduced to 1 mm-PP ●
{10}------------------------------------------------
- . Target tissue depths of 25 - 55 mm
- . Stiffness value range between 6.0 and 100.0 kPa
Unlike LSM that can be measured with S+, M+ and XL+ probes, SSM can only be measured with the FibroScan® M+ probe.
The technological characteristics of FibroScan® 630 Expert are substantially equivalent to those of the Aixplorer® (#K173021), which is also indicated for measurements of broad band shear wave speed, and tissue stiffness in internal structures of the liver and the spleen. Both devices are based on the same physical phenomenon, namely the effect of the mechanical properties of soft tissue on the propagation of low frequency mechanical waves in internal organs. Both use ultrasound for measuring the changes in the strain field that result from the propagation of the mechanical wave and display the processed values of shear wave speed. Therefore, the candidate and the predicate and reference devices are substantially equivalent in terms of the technology used.

#### Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FibroScan® 630 is intended to provide shear wave speed measurements and estimates of tissue stiffness as well as ultrasound coefficient of attenuation (CAP: Controlled Attenuation Parameter) in internal structures of the Shear wave speed and stiffness measurements may be used as an aid to clinical management of adult patients with liver disease.
FibroScan® 630 is indicated for non-invasive measurement in the liver of 50 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness as well as determining a 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 diagnosis and monitoring of adult patients with liver disease, as part of an overall assessment of the liver.
Shear wave speed and stiffness may be used as an aid in the clinical management of pediatric patients with liver disease.
FibroScan® 630 (Expert) is also indicated for noninvasive measurement in the spleen of 100 Hz shear wave speed and estimates of stiffness that may be used as an aid to diagnosis, monitoring and clinical management of adult patients with liver disease, as part of an overall assessment of the liver.
#### Performance Data
The accuracy and precision of the device was tested for shear wave speed of the liver and the spleen on calibrated phantoms with known elasticity and attenuation. In addition, to allowed direct comparison of the measurement accuracy between the proposed and cleared systems, same sample of phantoms were tested contemporaneously by the candidate and predicate FibroScan systems, using the same probes and the same phantoms.
The shear wave speed bias, i.e. the difference in the mean shear wave speed measured and the nominal shear wave speed of the phantom, normalized by the nominal shear wave speed and expressed in percent was evaluated and compared to the corresponding value reported for the predicate device.
For liver examination, results show that while the predicate FibroScan® 530 Compact shear wave speed bias results reported minimum and maximum values of [-13.9%; 3.6%] for the S+ probe, [-12.9%; -2.6%] for the M+ probe and [-14.3%; -3.4%] for the XL+ probe; the range of shear wave speed bias results measured with the candidate FibroScan device had minimum and maximum values of [-20.6%; -6.5%] for the S+ probe, [-17.5%; -7.6%] for the M+ probe and [-17.5%; -7.7%] for the XL+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of bias values for the shear wave speed in the predicate FibroScan® 530 Compact is ≤17.5%. <11% and <11% for the S+ M+ and XL+ probes
{12}------------------------------------------------
respectively, while the corresponding values for shear wave speed in the FibroScan® 630 is ≤14.1%, <10% and <10% respectively, and can therefore be considered as equivalent to the predicate. Moreover, the bias values for the shear wave speed and CAP on the same probes, phantoms and experimental setup using the predicate and candidate devices lead to the conclusion, that the proposed system (FibroScan® 630) is as effective as its predicate (FibroScan® 530) in measuring shear wave speed and CAP bias.
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.
For liver examination, results show that while the candidate device documented the range of shear wave speed precision measured for the S+ [0%; 2%], M+ [0%; 2%] and XL+ [0%; 1%] probes. The corresponding minimum and maximum values for the predicate are [0.2%; 1.6%] for S+ probe. [0%: 0%] for the M+ probe and [0%: 1.5%] for the XL+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of precision values for the shear wave speed in the predicate FibroScan® 530 Compact is <2%, <1% and <2% for the S+ M+ and XL+ probes respectively, while the corresponding values in the FibroScan® 630 is ≤2%, ≤2% and ≤1% respectively, and can therefore be considered as equivalent to the predicate.
For spleen examination, the range of shear wave speed bias results measured by the candidate FibroScan device had minimum and maximum values of [-24%; -17%] for the M+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of bias values for the shear wave speed in the candidate FibroScan is 7% for the M+ probe. This value is similar to the range of 9.9% documented for the candidate device and 10.3% obtained in the verification of the predicate device for liver measurements. Moreover, the range of shear wave speed precision results measured with the candidate FibroScan device had minimum and maximum values of [0%; 1%] for the M+ probe. Therefore, the overall range of precision values for the shear wave speed in the candidate FibroScan is 1% for the M+ probe. This is similar to the values of 2% and 0% measured for the candidate and predicate devices for liver measurements.
In summary, the bias and the precision of the shear wave speed measured by the FibroScan® 630 are within the same range than those of the predicate FibroScan® 530 Compact device. Furthermore, the direct comparison (i.e., same probes, phantoms and experimental setup) of the candidate system and its predicate lead to the conclusion that the FibroScan® 630 system was found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate FibroScan® 530 Compact device.
In addition to bench testing, clinical information was submitted to provided support for the expanded indications for use for spleen stiffness measurement.

## Clinical Data
The performance of FibroScan® 100 Hz sheer wave speed for spleen stiffness estimates was assessed in a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized study. The device was used to perform a spleen stiffness examination in each patient using the settings of the novel spleen examination (100 Hz), and the standard liver examination (50 Hz). Study objectives also included evaluating the 100 Hz SSM in comparison to hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) and other noninvasive tests (NITs). The study included 260 patients with chronic liver disease (169 male; 91 female) with a median age of 59 (range 51 - 68) and a median BMI of 26 kg/m² (range 23.7 -28.6). Patients with chronic liver disease due to hepatitis virus C (155 patients), hepatitis virus B (19 patients), or alcoholic liver diseases (79 patients) were enrolled. Patients had ultrasound examination, blood examination, and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) performed within 6 months of the spleen stiffness measurement (SSM). The examination was performed with the patient lying in supine position with left arm in maximal abduction, and the probe placed in the left intercostal spaces. The median liver stiffness measurement was 46.2 kPa and the median SSM was 48 kPa. The novel 100 Hz spleen-dedicated FibroScan® settings demonstrated significantly higher success rate than the 50 Hz measurements (92.5% compared to 76.0%, P <.001). No adverse events were reported in this study.
An ancillary study to examine intra-operator and inter-operator reproducibility, including 10 cirrhotic patients, 10 non-cirrhotic patients, and 6 healthy subjects showed good intra-class and inter-class reproducibility (0.94 and 0.96, respectively). In cirrhotic patients the intra-class and inter-class coefficient correlations were higher (0.96 and 0.97, respectively) than in non-cirrhotic patients and healthy subjects, potentially due to larger spleen diameters in cirrhotic patients.
### Substantial Equivalence Discussion
The FibroScan® 630 uses the same operating principle and materials, incorporates the same basic design, emits the same energy and acquires the same information as the predicate FibroScan® 530 device (K181547). The differences in size, weight and internal organization of its components do not raise new or different questions of safety or efficacy. The FS630P also includes the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate device.
The addition of the spleen stiffness indication for the FS630E was demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to its predicate device FibroScan® 530 (K181547) and Aixplorer Ultimate Ultrasound Diagnostic Systems (K173021), as they both have the same intended use, indications for use, and the technological differences do not raise different issues of safety and effectiveness. A comprehensive literature review and a large clinical study demonstrated the device's safety and effectiveness in measuring spleen stiffness. Furthermore, the inclusion of a B-Mode ultrasound imaging system (OEM previously cleared by Telemed under K161968) to help the user locate the liver or spleen is operating in compliance with its intended use, indications for use and FDAcleared labeling.
In summary, the conclusions drawn from the clinical information provided in this submission demonstrate that FibroScan® 630 raises no new or different issues of safety or effectiveness and is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices.
