Regulation
21 CFR 886.1350
Device Class
Class 1
Indications for Use
Indicated for use for measuring the shape and curvature of the anterior surface of the cornea of the eye and for displaying the topographical maps of the surface of the cornea. This information can be used to analyze, monitor and evaluate the shape and symmetry of the cornea following refractive surgery, to assist in the diagnosis of keratoconus, to assist in the fitting of contact lenses, to assist in the understanding of various corneal irregularities such as those induced by post operative sutures and wounds, and to assist in the understanding of various refractive conditions of the cornea, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Device Story
The Euclid Corneal Topography System (ET800) measures and maps the anterior corneal surface. It captures corneal curvature data to generate topographical maps. Used in clinical settings by eye care professionals to analyze corneal symmetry, monitor post-refractive surgery outcomes, diagnose keratoconus, assist in contact lens fitting, and evaluate corneal irregularities or refractive conditions. The system provides visual maps and analytical data to support clinical decision-making regarding corneal health and vision correction.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Corneal topographer designed for anterior surface measurement and mapping. System utilizes optical sensing to determine corneal curvature and shape. Output consists of topographical maps and analytical data for clinical evaluation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring corneal surface measurement and mapping. Used to evaluate corneal shape/symmetry post-refractive surgery, diagnose keratoconus, assist in contact lens fitting, and assess corneal irregularities (e.g., post-operative sutures/wounds) and refractive conditions (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A keratoscope is an AC-powered or battery-powered device intended to measure and evaluate the corneal curvature of the eye. Lines and circles within the keratoscope are used to observe the corneal reflex. This generic type of device includes the photokeratoscope which records corneal curvature by taking photographs of the cornea.

Dear Ms. Tirrell:
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 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.
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 for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
