FDA-cleared profile
Rivanna Medical, Inc.
Authorized purpose: Accuro 3S is portable B-mode ultrasound with SpineNav-AI for lumbar-spine scouting and epidural-depth estimation during neuraxial-anesthesia and needle or catheter placement workflows.
Product overview
Authorized purpose: Accuro 3S is portable B-mode ultrasound with SpineNav-AI for lumbar-spine scouting and epidural-depth estimation during neuraxial-anesthesia and needle or catheter placement workflows.
Overview status: Source-reviewed overview
Clinical role: Accuro 3S is portable B-mode ultrasound with SpineNav-AI for lumbar-spine scouting and epidural-depth estimation during neuraxial-anesthesia and needle or catheter placement workflows.
Evidence from the reviewed source record: K243937 reports software, segmentation, depth-estimation, image-quality, system, and usability validation for the lumbar-spine workflow.
Clinical details
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Clinical-use display mirrors the exact FDA-supported purpose reconciled from the decision-summary packet.
The indications statement gives this user class and does not identify the dossier's specific physician, sonographer, and other-professional list.
The packet states B-mode imaging and the Dual-Array probe; it does not state live or imported ultrasound data as the input wording.
The packet's direct output is lumbar-spine graphics and an epidural-space measurement, not the dossier's generic calculations, overlays, and reports.
This is the packet's direct scouting-versus-diagnostic boundary; the later-product-family statement in the dossier is not FDA packet text.
Regulatory identity
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.

Implementation

Public materials reviewed for this exact release do not establish the complete security posture. Request data-flow, identity, audit, encryption, retention, remote-access, vulnerability-management, backup, and incident-response evidence.
Map the installed model, build, options, population, anatomy, inputs, and outputs to K243937 before acceptance.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-03Later product-family features are not evidence that this cleared release includes them.
Validate supported probes and host devices, patient matching, DICOM or local export, PACS measurements, worklist, report transfer, and offline or downtime behavior.
exact submission · checked 2026-09-03Test representative identifiers, orientation, geometry, measurements, units, routing, failure handling, and round trips locally.
Use a signed local test set for the supported population and workflow. Include common and difficult cases, exclusions, acquisition variation, failed or low-quality inputs, reviewer overrides, and downstream effects. K243937 supports the cleared scouting and measurement workflow. Later product-family claims about real-time in-plane guidance are not attributed to this release without exact clearance evidence.

Monitor by exact hardware, software and model version, patient population, anatomy, protocol, operator, input quality, output edits or overrides, failed studies, repeat acquisition or rework, downstream impact, downtime, incidents, recalls, and updates. Track these product-specific limits: K243937 supports the cleared scouting and measurement workflow. Later product-family claims about real-time in-plane guidance are not attributed to this release without exact clearance evidence.

Evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version. Candidate literature without exact product and version linkage is not shown as product evidence.
Sensitivity is not the primary endpoint for this acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, guidance, or quantitative function. Use the task-specific evidence below.
Specificity is not the primary endpoint for this acquisition, reconstruction, segmentation, guidance, or quantitative function. Use the task-specific evidence below.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.
K243937
Manufacturer evidence submitted for clearance or approval; local clinical, technical, and workflow acceptance remains necessary.
Costs and setup
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
No public list price for the exact cleared configuration was found. Obtain a written quote separating hardware or license basis, enabled features, implementation, interfaces, infrastructure, training, service, upgrades, renewal, consumables, and exit costs.
No separate named-product payment identified in reviewed public material

Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
Exact-identifier review does not prove absence of all product-family safety signals.

Research record
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
The refreshed discovery snapshot contains 0 PubMed and 2 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Discovery metadata alone does not establish exact tested-product, version, population, and endpoint applicability, so all candidates remain quarantined and none was promoted. The current discovery snapshot contains 0 PubMed and 2 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records; its dated, count-matched human screening remains current. Unlinked candidates remain quarantined. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads were screened against the exact product and tested version. Unlinked records remain quarantined.
