It is an accessory to compatible general purpose diagnostic ultrasound systems and indicated for use in 2D transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE) for adult patients to acquire specific echocardiographic views.

Technology

Caption Guidance is a software-only radiological acquisition guidance system utilizing AI to provide real-time user feedback and prescriptive guidance mimicking expert sonographer maneuvers. Features include a quality meter, prescriptive guidance, auto-capture of quality clips, and retrospective best clip saving, all aimed at optimizing cardiac ultrasound image acquisition.

Performance

The device underwent rigorous software verification and validation including algorithm development, testing on separate data sets, and human factors testing with both experienced and novice users. Testing showed robust performance of auto-capture and prescriptive guidance features, with no use errors leading to patient injury, demonstrating substantial equivalence and safety.
