Intended Use
The Nidek ECHOSCAN Model US-1800 is a diagnostic instrument that is intended for use in the measurement of the axial length of the eye and corneal thickness.
Device Description
The EchoScan Model US-1800 is a diagnostic instrument that is indicated for use in the measurement of the axial length of the eye and corneal thickness. The instrument is used to measure the axial length of the eye and the thickness of the cornea by the application of an ultrasound pulse reflection method. During axial length measurement, the cornea is touched with a probe, and the ultrasonic pulse sent by the transducer in the probe is reflected within each part of the eye (cornea, anterior chamber, lens, vitreous body, retina, etc.) and their echoes are received by the same probe. The received echoes are converted to electronic acoustic signals and indicated on the LCD as an amplitude. In addition, the time difference of each echo is measured and the length of each tissue (AC depth, lens thickness, vitreous body length, and axial length) is calculated according to the time difference and known inherent sonic velocity of each tissue. For corneal thickness measurement, the ultrasonic pulses are transmitted when the probe is put on the cornea. Part of the pulses are reflected and the front and rear surface of the cornea. When the probe receives the reflected echoes, the time difference of each echo is measured and the corneal thickness is calculated according to the time difference and known inherent sonic velocity of the cornea.

No
The device description details a standard ultrasound pulse reflection method for measurement and does not mention any AI/ML components or algorithms. The performance studies focus on electrical safety, EMC, PEMS, and acoustic output, not AI/ML performance.

No
This device is described as a "diagnostic instrument" intended for "measurement" of eye characteristics, not for treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that "The Nidek ECHOSCAN Model US-1800 is a diagnostic instrument."

No

The device description explicitly details the use of a physical probe, ultrasound pulses, and the reception of echoes, indicating a hardware component is essential for its function. Performance studies also include electrical safety, electromagnetic compatibility, and acoustic output testing, which are relevant to hardware.

Based on the provided information, the Nidek ECHOSCAN Model US-1800 is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The description of the US-1800 clearly states it measures the axial length and corneal thickness of the eye in vivo (within the living body) using ultrasound pulses applied directly to the eye.
  • The device description focuses on the physical interaction with the eye and the measurement of physical dimensions. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., which is characteristic of IVD devices.

The Nidek ECHOSCAN Model US-1800 is a diagnostic imaging device that uses ultrasound to measure anatomical structures within the eye.

Dear Ms. Patterson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket 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 misbranding and adulteration.

This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following transducers intended for use with the EchoScan Model US-1800, as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number

A-Scan Probe Pachymetry Probe

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device it may or sucjoct to Cach of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may bublish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean I lease be actived and I Drimination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act that I Dr Hab mace a cond regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must or any I carated and the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set CI K Pat 6077; laooning (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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 m / Ippendix O, (encrosse of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers." If the special beenting thanks areasans 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 rnowinently 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, 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.
