The A-scan is used to measure the axial length of the eye. The system includes various programs for calculating the optical power of the IOL to be implanted during cataract surgery. Anterior chamber depth and lens thickness of the eye are also measured and displayed. The B-scan is used to image the internal structure of the eye including the opaque media and posterior pathology for the purpose of diagnosing pathological or traumatic conditions in the eye. ## Device Story Dual-function ophthalmic ultrasonic system; provides A-scan biometry and B-scan imaging. A-scan uses 8 MHz non-scanning crystal transducer to measure axial length, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness; calculates IOL power using SRK, Holladay, and Hoffer Q formulas. B-scan uses 11 MHz mechanical sector probe (50° sweep) to visualize internal eye structures/pathology. Operated by clinicians in clinical settings; uses standard keyboard interface and 9" CRT display. Outputs include biometric measurements, IOL power calculations, and diagnostic images. Assists surgeons in IOL selection and diagnosis of ocular conditions. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Determination of substantial equivalence is not based on an assessment of any performance data, clinical or non-clinical. ## Technological Characteristics Ultrasonic imaging system. A-scan: 8 MHz non-scanning crystal transducer. B-scan: 11 MHz single crystal mechanical sector probe, oil-filled sealed chamber. 9" high-resolution white phosphor CRT display. Connectivity: printer, video output, camera, VCR. User interface: standard computer keyboard. Software includes IOL calculation programs (SRK, Holladay, Hoffer Q). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Teknar A/B III ([K871536](/device/K871536.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Its 510(k) control number is K871536. ## Device Description MENTOR® Advent™ A/B System is an easy to use ophthalmic ultrasonic system, offering capabilities and versatility for both A-scan and B-scan operations. The A-Scan biometric unit of the Advent System has the following features: - Operational modes - Automatic and Manual - Probe alignment - LED fixation light and audio feedback - Multiple eye categories - Normal, Aphakic, Cataractous, Dense Cataractous and Pseudophakic - IOL calculations - programs include the latest in SRK, Holladay and Hoffer Q - Patient storage - up to 16 patients, including right and left eye - User interface - standard computer keyboard - Display - 9" high resolution white phosphor CRT - Accessories - printer, video output 510(k) Summary: Mentor O&O Advent A/B System Page 11 {1} <960165 P. 2 of 4> The B-Scan imaging unit of the Advent System has the following features: - Scanning - 50 degrees sector scan probe, allowing eye view from wide variety of angles - Normal mode - requires selection of parameters - Windowed mode - allows user selectable scanning angle - Controls - depth, gain, contrast and brightness - Display - 9" high resolution white phosphor CRT - User interface - standard computer keyboard - Accessories - camera, printer, VCR MENTOR® Advent™ System uses the following transducer operations and characteristics: A-Scan: There is a single ultrasound mode where the transducer is pulsed at a repetition frequency of approximately 5 Hz. The transducer is a non-scanning crystal with a frequency of approximately 8 Mhz. This system uses the same ultrasound transducer as in the predicate device. B-Scan: There are two ultrasound modes, Normal and Windowed. The transducer is a single crystal mechanical sector probe with a center frequency of 11 MHz. It is housed in an oil-filled sealed chamber. The transducer sweeps 8 frames/sec. Sweep angle is 50°, pulse repetition frequency is 5.5 KHz and there are 275 transmitted lines per scan. In the Windowed mode, the size and position of the user selected window affects the pulse rate and spacing of the pulse, and thus the radiated field. Ultrasonic power measurements reported later have been made in the worst case condition. ## Intended Use MENTOR® Advent™ A/B System is a dual function ultrasonic ophthalmic imaging system. The A-scan is used to measure the axial length of the eye. The system includes various programs for calculating the optical power of the IOL to be implanted during cataract surgery. Anterior chamber depth and lens thickness of the eye are also measured and displayed. The B-scan is used to image the internal structure of the eye including the opaque media and posterior pathology for the purpose of diagnosing pathological or traumatic conditions in the eye. 510(k) Summary: Mentor O&O Advent A/B System Page 12 {2} 1960 165 R 3 of 4 # Substantial Equivalence Comparison | | MENTOR^{®} Advent^{™} A/B System | Teknar A/B III | | --- | --- | --- | | | | | | Indication | The A-scan is used to measure the axial length of the eye.
