Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Diasonics Intraoperative Probes are intra-operative ultrasound probes designed for real-time imaging during surgical procedures. These devices facilitate visualisation of anatomical structures and guidance for precise interventions, such as tumour resection or biopsy, by providing immediate feedback via ultrasound imaging.
These probes are intended for single-use in sterile surgical environments and are classified under product code ITX. They are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K961002) and were determined substantially equivalent to a predicate device by the Radiology Advisory Committee in 1997. No additional regulatory markings or sterility assurances are specified beyond the FDA clearance.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
Are the Diasonics Intraoperative Probes designed for reuse in surgical settings, or are they meant to be used only once per patient?
The Diasonics Intraoperative Probes are explicitly designed for single-use only in sterile surgical environments. This is a key feature to ensure patient safety and prevent cross-contamination, as outlined in the device description.
What types of surgical procedures are these probes commonly used for, and how do they assist during surgery?
These probes are used for real-time ultrasound imaging during surgery to visualize anatomical structures and guide interventions like tumour resection or biopsy. They provide immediate feedback, helping surgeons make precise decisions intraoperatively without needing additional imaging outside the operating room.
How are the Diasonics Intraoperative Probes regulated by the FDA, and what does the 'substantially equivalent' determination mean for their use?
The probes are regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K961002), meaning they were deemed substantially equivalent to a predicate device by the Radiology Advisory Committee in 1997. This classification confirms they meet FDA safety and effectiveness standards for their intended use as intraoperative ultrasound tools, ensuring they comply with regulatory requirements for medical devices in this category.
What product code classification does the Diasonics Intraoperative Probe fall under, and what does this indicate about its regulatory pathway?
The probe is classified under FDA product code ITX, which categorizes it as an intraoperative imaging device. This classification helps streamline its regulatory review process, as it aligns with devices used during surgery for real-time visualization, ensuring consistency with similar medical imaging tools.
