- (a)Identification. A prostate lesion documentation system is a prescription device intended for use in producing an image of the prostate as an aid in documenting prostate abnormalities previously identified during a digital rectal examination. The device uses pressure sensors and image reconstruction software to produce a prostate image that highlights regional differences in intraprostatic tissue elasticity or stiffness. The device is limited to use as a documentation tool and is not intended for diagnostic purposes or for influencing any clinical decisions.
- (b)Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
- (1)Non-clinical and clinical performance testing must demonstrate the accuracy and reproducibility of the constructed image.
- (2)Appropriate analysis/testing must validate electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, thermal safety, and mechanical safety.
- (3)Appropriate software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed.
- (4)All elements of the device that may contact the patient must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
- (5)Methods and instructions for reprocessing of any reusable components must be properly validated.
- (6)The labeling must include specific information needed to ensure proper use of the device.
