Intended Use
ULTRAEKOGEL™ is an electroconductive gel media used with ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system. The gel -once applied on the defined area of the body- facilitates the intended use of the system, which is 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.
Device Story
ULTRAEKOGEL™ is an electroconductive gel media applied topically to the body to facilitate acoustic coupling between an ultrasonic transducer and patient tissue. It functions as a transmission medium for pulsed sound beams used in diagnostic imaging to determine tissue interface depth and location. The device is used in clinical settings where ultrasonic imaging is performed. It is supplied in 250g and 5kg containers with a 3-year shelf life.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on identical technological characteristics and performance to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Electroconductive gel media. Supplied in 250g and 5kg containers. 3-year shelf life. Identical to predicate device in materials, design, and performance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use as an electroconductive coupling medium for ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging systems to facilitate the projection of sound beams into body tissue for diagnostic imaging.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A diagnostic ultrasonic transducer is a device made of a piezoelectric material that converts electrical signals into acoustic signals and acoustic signals into electrical signals and intended for use in diagnostic ultrasonic medical devices. Accessories of this generic type of device may include transmission media for acoustically coupling the transducer to the body surface, such as acoustic gel, paste, or a flexible fluid container.

Dear Mr. Mansour:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
