Intended Use
To measure thickness of the cornea in the human eye using ultrasound energy.
Device Story
POD Pac-20m is an ultrasonic corneal pachymeter; uses ultrasound energy to measure corneal thickness. Device utilizes Blatek 20 MHz transducer; operates in A-mode. Used in clinical ophthalmic settings; operated by eye care professionals. Provides quantitative corneal thickness measurements; assists clinicians in evaluating corneal health and surgical planning. Benefits include non-invasive, precise measurement of corneal tissue.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Acoustic output measurements were performed to ensure compliance with FDA guidance for diagnostic ultrasound systems.
Technological Characteristics
Ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system; 20 MHz transducer (Blatek AT15399/AT15387); A-mode operation. Patient-contact materials are identical to predicate. Device is a standalone ophthalmic pachymeter.
Indications for Use
Indicated for measuring corneal thickness in human eyes using ultrasound energy. No specific age or gender restrictions provided.
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.

| II. Classification Names and Numbers: | Ultrasonic Pulsed Echo Imaging System,<br>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.
