Indications for Use
Diagnostic ultrasound imaging or fluid flow analysis of the human body as follows: The device is intended for use by a qualified physician for the evaluation of soft tissue and blood flow in the clinical applications; Fetal; Abdominal (renal & GYN/pelvic); Small Organ (breast, testes, thyroid); Trans-rectal(TR); Trans-vaginal(TV); Musculo-skeletal(Conventional); Musculo-skeletal (Superficial); Cardiac (adult); Peripheral Vascular (PV); and Urology (including prostate).
Device Story
E-CUBE 15 is an ultrasound imaging system for medical diagnosis. It processes ultrasonic signals from transducers to produce B-mode, M-mode, Pulsed Wave (PW) Doppler, Continuous Wave (CW) Doppler, Color Flow, and Power Doppler images. It features an 18.5-inch flat panel display, ergonomic control panel, and integrated gel warmer. Used in clinical settings by physicians, the system aids in evaluating soft tissue and blood flow. It includes automated measurement tools like Auto IMT and Auto traces. The device supports 3D/4D volume rendering. Data is stored on an integrated 500GB HDD or external media. Output is viewed by the clinician on the integrated monitor to inform diagnostic decisions. Benefits include improved diagnostic workflow and image quality for various clinical applications.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical studies were required to support substantial equivalence. The device was evaluated through bench testing, including biocompatibility, acoustic output, thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety testing, confirming compliance with NEMA UD2, UD3, AIUM, IEC60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37, and ISO 10993-1 standards.
Technological Characteristics
Ultrasound imaging system; 18.5" wide LCD; 3-4 active probe ports; 500GB HDD; integrated DVD-R/W; 8 USB ports; integrated gel warmer. Operating modes: B, M, PW/CW Doppler, Color/Power Doppler, THI, 3D/4D. Connectivity: USB, DICOM-compatible. Power: 100-240V, 50/60Hz. Biocompatible patient-contact materials per ISO 10993-1. Safety standards: IEC60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, IEC60601-2-37.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualified physicians to evaluate soft tissue and blood flow in fetal, abdominal (renal/GYN/pelvic), small organ (breast/testes/thyroid), trans-rectal, trans-vaginal, musculoskeletal (conventional/superficial), adult cardiac, peripheral vascular, and urological (including prostate) applications.
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.

Determination of Substantial Equivalenço:
#### Summary of Non-Clinical Tests:
E-CUBE 15 has been evaluated for biocompatibility, acoustic output as well as thermal, electrical, electromagnetic, and mechanical safety, and has been found to conform to applicable medical device safety standards. E-CUBE 15 and its application comply with voluntary standards as detailed in this premarket submission. The following quality management system measures were applied to the development of E-CUBE 15:
- NEMA UD2, UD3 .
- AIUM Medical Ultrasound Safety .
- IEC60601-1 .
- IEC60601-1-2
- IEC60601-2-37 (3rd Edition)
- ISO 10993-1
Transducer materials and other patient contact materials are biocompatible.
#### Summary of Clinical Tests:
The subject of this premarket submission, E-CUBE 15, did not require clinical studies to support substantial equivalence.
Conclusion:
Alpinion Medical Systems Co., Ltd. considers E-CUBE 15 to be as safe, as effective, and performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Kim:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of July 26, 2012.
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 E-CUBE 15, as described in your premarket notification:
| Transducer Model Number | |
|-------------------------|--------|
| SC1-6H | L8-17X |
| L3-12H | SC1-4H |
| SP1-5X | E3-10H |
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
{8}------------------------------------------------
be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. 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 (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
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.
