Intended Use
The device is intended to be used for the measurement of corneal thickness which is required for some types of corneal surgery.
Device Story
Small, hand-held ultrasonic ophthalmic pachymeter; uses pulsed ultrasound (sonar principles) to measure corneal thickness. Operator pre-plans measurement series on corneal surface; device automatically sequences measurements; presents results as thickness over eye area. Used in clinical settings by eye care professionals. Output provides quantitative corneal thickness data to assist in surgical planning and clinical decision-making. Benefits include precise corneal assessment for surgical procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on bench testing, including IEC 601-1 and 601-1-2 compliance, accuracy testing, and software validation. Device technology is established and widely used in clinical practice.
Technological Characteristics
Hand-held ultrasonic pachymeter; 20 MHz A-Scan transducer (Model P1). Operates via pulsed ultrasound. Complies with IEC 601-1 and 601-1-2 standards. Software-controlled measurement sequencing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for measurement of corneal thickness in patients undergoing corneal surgery.
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.

Dear Dr. Myers:
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 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 Quantel Packet Ultrasonic Pachymeter, as described in your premarket notification:
