Premarket evidence — what FDA accepted
source quote (p.6)
“The purpose of this special 510(k) Pre-Market Notification is to introduce EPIQ and Affiniti Series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems with Custom Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) filter. The proposed EPIQ Series Diagnostic Ultrasound System and Affiniti Series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems with new Custom EMI filter spare part, will reduce the electrical interferences induced by the external environments and feed the clean electrical signals to the ultrasound device, equivalent to predicate device, K250177.”
Validation studies (1)
Bench
sample size not stated
endpoints: To evaluate the impact of the EMI filter on the system's safety, performance, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), ensuring continued compliance with applicable standards and substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
standards: IEC 60601-1-2:2014 + AMD1:2020, IEC 60601-2-37:2007 + AMD1:2015
Reported performance (0 observations)
FDA source did not state a quantitative performance metric — non-reporting is itself the signal.
Each value carries its own analysis unit and task — never compare or pool across devices. Source: 510(k) summary PDF.
