Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

5. Indications for Use: The GE Diasonics Gateway & Gateway FX with Harmonic Imaging are general purpose ultrasound imaging systems intended for use in the evaluation of soft tissue and vascular disease in the head, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, male and female reproductive organs, limbs and pregnant uterus. Specific indications are: Ophthalmic, Fetal, Abdominal, Intraoperative, Small Organ, Neonatal Cephalic, Adult Cephalic, Cardiac, TR, TV, PV, and Musculo-skeletal Conventional & Superficial.
6. Comparison with Predicate Device: The GE Diasonics Gateway FX with Harmonic Imaging are of a comparable type and substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Gateway FX. They have the same technological characteristics, use the same design, construction and materials, are comparable in key safety and effectiveness features, and have the same intended uses, operating modes and transducers as the predicate device.
### Section b):
1. Non-clinical Tests: The device has been evaluated for acoustic output, biocompatibility, and thermal, electrical and mechanical safety, and has been found to conform with applicable medical device safety standards. Harmonic imaging is implemented with conventional digital image processing technology.
2. Clinical Tests: None required.
3. Conclusion: Intended uses and other key features are consistent with traditional clinical practice, FDA guidelines, and established methods of patient examination. The design and development process of the manufacturer conforms with 21 CFR 820 and ISO 9001/EN 46001 quality system standards.

Re: K993069
GE Diagnostics Gateway and Gateway FX Diagnostic Ultrasound System Regulatory Class: II (TWO) Product Code: 90-IYO and 90-ITX 21 CFR 892.1560 21 CFR 892.1570 Dated: September 10, 1999 Received: September 13, 1999
Dear Mr. Schuh:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranion.
This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the GE Diagnostics Gateway and Gateway FX Diagnostic Ultrasound System, as described in your premarket notification:
> Transducer Model Numbers: CLA/3.5MI/40 CLA/3.5MI/50-2D
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval) it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the FDA will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification does not affect any obligation you may have under sections 531 and 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Page 2 - Mr. Allen Schuh
This determination of substantial equivalence is granted on the condition that prior to shipping the first device, you submit a postclearance special report. This report should contain complete information, including acoustic output measurements based on production line devices, requested in Appendix G, (enclosed) of the Center's September 30, 1997 "Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers." If the special report is incomplete or contains unacceptable values (e.g., acoustic output greater than approved levels), then the 510(k) clearance may not apply to the production units which as a result may be considered adulterated or misbranded.
The special report should reference the manufacturer's 510(k) number. It should be clearly and prominently marked "ADD-TO-FILE" and should be submitted in duplicate to:
> Food and Drug Administration Center for Devices and Radiological Health Document Mail Center (HFZ-401) 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville, Maryland 20850
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus permits your device to proceed to market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4591. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or at (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
