Intended Use
The Olympus UM-2R and UM-3R Ultrasonic Probes have been designed for use in combination with Olympus Endoscopic Ultrasound System for intraluminal sonographic imaging of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree.
Device Story
Ultrasonic probes (UM-2R/3R) provide transendoscopic access to upper airways and tracheobronchial tree; used with bronchoscopes (min 2.8 mm channel). Probes utilize de-aerated water immersion method for B-mode, 360-degree mechanical/radial scanning. Probe driving unit controls transducer rotation. UM-2R operates at 12 MHz; UM-3R operates at 20 MHz. Used by physicians in clinical settings to perform intensive examination, observation, and diagnosis of airways. Output displayed via compatible Olympus Endoscopic Ultrasound Systems (EU-M30, EU-M20, EU-M3). Enables visualization of tissue beyond conventional bronchoscope limits, facilitating navigation through strictures and anatomical ducts; aids clinical decision-making regarding airway pathology.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Compliance with IEC 60601-1 and FDA's 1993/1985 Diagnostic Ultrasound Guidance confirmed safety and effectiveness. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Mechanical/radial scanning ultrasound transducer; 2.4 mm outer diameter; 2050 mm length. UM-2R (12 MHz) and UM-3R (20 MHz). De-aerated water immersion coupling. Non-sterile, reprocessable. Compatible with Olympus EU-M30, EU-M20, and EU-M3 systems. Complies with IEC 60601-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for intraluminal sonographic imaging of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree in patients requiring endoscopic ultrasound examination.
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.

### Statement of Intended Use:
The Olympus UM-2R/3R Ultrasonic Probes have been cleared for use within the gastrointestional tract in 510(k) #K944610.
The Olympus UM-2R and UM-3R Ultrasonic Probes have been designed for use in combination with Olympus Endoscopic Ultrasound System for intraluminal sonographic imaging of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree.
## Device Description
In routine examination of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree, there are situations where the physician prefers to perform an intensive examination, observation, and diagnosis of the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree. The conventional type bronchoscopes limit the physician's ability to access certain areas of interest. The UM-2R/UM-3R Ultrasonic Probes, when used with an endoscope offer transendoscopic access

to the upper airways and tracheobronchial tree. The 2.4 mm insertion tube of these probes can be advanced through strictures and anatomical ducts. The Olympus Ultrasonic Probes to be used in conjunction with bronchoscopes with a minimum channel size of 2.8 mm. The rotation of the transducer is controlled by a probe driving unit.
The UM-2R and UM-3R probes produce a B-mode scans using the de-aerated water immersion method and offer 360 degree mechanical/radial scanning of the tissue under observation. The outer diameter of the insertion tube is 2.4 mm and the length is 2050 mm. Both probes incorporate similar design, construction, intended use, and method of operation. The only difference between these two probes is that the UM-2R probe operates at 12 MHz and is compatible with both Olympus EU-M30, EU-M20 and EU-M3 Endoscopic Ultrasound Systems, while the UM-3R probe operates at 20 MHz and is compatible with the EU-M30 and the EU-M20 Endoscopic Ultrasound System. The Olympus EU-M30 Endoscopic Ultrasound Center was cleared for marketing in 510(k) # K951994. The Olympus EU-M20 Endoscopic Ultrasound System was cleared for marketing in 510(k) # K926514 and EU-M3 Endoscopic Ultrasound System was cleared for marketing in the 510(k) # K882061.
All components and associated equipment of the UM-2R / UM-3R Ultrasonic Probes will be marketed non-sterile and can be reprocessed as described in the Instruction Manual.
### Safety
The Olympus UM-2R and UM-3R Ultrasound Probes are designed, manufactured, and tested in compliance with International Standard IEC 60601-1. The ultrasound characteristics of Olympus UM-2R and UM-3R Ultrasound Probes meet the requirements of the FDA's 510(k) Diagnostic Ultrasound Guidance for 1993 and 1985.
When compared to the predicate devices listed in the "Regulatory History" portion of this section, except for intended use, neither ultrasound probe incorporates any significant change in method of operation, material, or design that could affect safety or effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Storms-Tyler:
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, Druq, 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 aqainst misbranding and adulteration.
This determination of substantial equivalence applies to the following Ultrasound Systems intended for use with the Olympus UM-2R and UM-3R Ultrasonic Probes, as described in your premarket notification:
System Model Number
| EU-M30 |
|--------|
| EU-M20 |
| EU-M3 |
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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Requlation (QS) for Medical Devices: General (GMP) requlation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the FDA will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification does not affect any obligation you may have under sections 531 and 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
