What to check when buying a used Samsung HM70 EVO
Have electrical safety tested before you buy
It is Class I equipment on its AC adapter and cart, and its probes and ECG module are applied parts that touch the patient, so a grounding or leakage fault puts patients at risk.
How: Have a biomed run an electrical safety test on the adapter, the cart, every probe and any ECG module, and ask for the unit's maintenance records, since Japan classes it as a medical device that requires specified maintenance control.
Look for liquid on the case and connectors
The main unit has no protection against water, and a unit or connector that liquid has reached must not be used as it is.
How: Look for dried liquid, staining or corrosion on the case, the keyboard and every probe connector, and treat any sign of liquid inside as a fault.
Power it on and watch it start
A unit that does not start up normally, or that makes an abnormal noise or gives off an abnormal odor, has a fault the buyer would inherit.
How: Press the power button, confirm the system starts up and operates normally, and listen and smell for any abnormal noise or odor while it runs.
Inspect the case for impact damage
Tilting, vibration and shock, in use or in transport, can damage the system, so scratches or deformation on the magnesium case show how it was handled.
How: Look over the case, its corners and the front handle for scratches, cracks, dents or deformation, and ask how the unit was packed for shipping.
Common questions about the Samsung HM70 EVO
Is the Samsung HM70 EVO FDA-cleared?
Yes. The HM70 EVO Diagnostic Ultrasound System is FDA-cleared under three 510(k)s: K210713, decided July 9, 2021; K220269, decided May 6, 2022; and K233112, decided December 21, 2023.
It is a Class II device, product code IYN, under regulation 892.1550.
What is the Samsung HM70 EVO FDA-cleared to scan?
Under its third clearance, K233112, it is cleared for fetal and obstetric, abdominal, gynecology, pediatric, small organ, neonatal and adult cephalic, trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculoskeletal (conventional and superficial), urology, adult and pediatric cardiac, trans-esophageal cardiac, peripheral vessel, lung and dermatology use.
Lung came with the first clearance, K210713, and dermatology with K233112.
What are the US model numbers of the Samsung HM70 EVO?
The US versions are USS-M7ENFC0/US and USS-M7ENL10/US, cleared under K210713; USS-M7ENFCB/US, under K220269; and USS-M7ENLCC/US, under K233112.
Does the Samsung HM70 EVO show the ElastoScan+ strain value in the US?
No. The ElastoScan+ strain value does not apply in the United States or Canada.
ElastoScan elastography is one of the system's cleared modes, and E-Strain strain-ratio calculation is an option.
Does the Samsung HM70 EVO have a DHA Authority to Operate?
Yes. The US Defense Health Agency's Authority to Operate (ATO) designation for the HM70 EVO was announced on April 12, 2023, together with the HS60 and V8.
