Intended Use

EVIS EUS ENDOSCOPIC ULTRASOUND CENTER OLYMPUS EU-ME3 is intended to be used with Olympus ultrasound endoscopes and Olympus ultrasound probes to observe real-time ultrasound images and is indicated for use within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, biliary and pancreatic ducts and surrounding organs, intraluminal ultrasound for airways, tracheobronchial tree, trans-rectal, trans-urethral, and trans-esophageal (non-cardiac).

Technology

The system combines compatible ultrasound video scopes or probes with a keyboard interface to generate and display real-time endoscopic and ultrasound images. It uses ultrasound transducers that emit ultrasound waves powered by driving voltage, facilitating multiple modes including B mode, Pulsed Wave Doppler, Color Doppler, Harmonic Imaging, Elastography, and Shear Wave Speed Measurement. The system also allows image and movie storage, retrieval, printing, and external recording.

Performance

The device underwent extensive non-clinical testing including bench tests for acoustic output, measurement accuracy for strain ratio, distance, circumference, area, velocity, elastography strain visualization, and contrast harmonic echo. It also completed human factors evaluation, cleaning/disinfection validation, software and cybersecurity testing, and electrical safety and EMC testing. The nonclinical tests demonstrated that the device is as safe, effective, and performs as well or better than the predicate device. No clinical data were collected.
