No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts, and the device description is not available to provide further clues. The intended use and predicate device suggest a standard ultrasonic pachymeter.

No
The device is used to measure the thickness of the cornea, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention. Its intent is to provide information for diagnosis or monitoring rather than to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

Yes
The device is described as measuring the thickness of the cornea, which is a diagnostic measurement used to identify conditions such as corneal edema or to prepare for refractive surgery. The Intended Use/Indications for Use section states its purpose, clearly indicating a diagnostic function. Additionally, the device uses an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system, a common diagnostic modality in ophthalmology.

No

The intended use explicitly states the device uses "ultrasound energy" to measure corneal thickness. This implies the presence of hardware components (an ultrasound transducer and associated electronics) to generate and receive the ultrasound signals, which is not characteristic of a software-only medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "measure thickness of the cornea in the human eye using ultrasound energy." This is a direct measurement of a physical characteristic of a living tissue within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: This device uses ultrasound energy to measure the cornea in situ (within the living eye). It does not analyze a sample taken from the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device used for direct measurement within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 892.1560 Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system.

(a)
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.(b)
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.

510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

I. Submitter: Tim Ehrecke, Portable Ophthalmic Devices, Inc. 4413 Winston Place, Bettendorf, Iowa 52722. FAX 563-449-9184 Ph: 563-529-3536

| II. Classification Names and Numbers: | Ultrasonic Pulsed Echo Imaging System,
90-IYO, 21CFR892.1560 |
|---------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------|
| III. Common/Usual Name: | Ultrasonic Corneal Pachymeter |
| IV. Proprietary Names: | POD Pac-20m™ |
| V. Establishment Registration Number: | in progress |
| VI. Classification: | Class II, Tier II. Described in 21CFR892.1560 |

VII. Substantial Equivalence: We believe the POD Pac-20m™ is substantially equivalent to the classified device described in 21CFR892.1560, "Ultrasonic Pulsed Echo Imaging System," and to other ultrasound systems that have been cleared by the 510(k) process, such as the Quantel "Pocket" Ultrasonic Pachymeter (K993674).

The 510(k) Substantial Equivalence Decision-making Process (detailed) from ODE Guidance Memorandum #86-3 was followed as described below:

  1. These products have the same intended use, to measure the thickness of the cornea.

  2. The technological characteristics of this device are the same as those for the predicate device except for the models of some of the components, and the user interface.

  3. The materials from which the patient-contact portions of the device are made are the same as in the predicate device.

  4. The acoustic output of this device is similar to that of predicate devices and below the preamendment levels described in the guidance document "Information for Manufacturers Seeking Marketing Clearance of Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems and Transducers."

Trade Name: POD Pac-20m Corneal Pachymeter System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 892.1560 Regulation Name: Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 90 IYO Dated: February 25, 2003 Received: February 26, 2003

Dear Mr. Ehrecke:

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 POD Pac-20m Corneal Pachymeter System, as described in your premarket notification:

Transducer Model Number

Blatek AT15399/AT15387 (20 MHz)

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 can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all 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 forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

2

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, 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.
