No
The description mentions "mathematical algorithms and software" for analysis, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training sets or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML. The analysis appears to be based on deterministic calculations from wavefront measurements.
No
The device is described as a "diagnostic instrument" for measuring and analyzing refractive errors of the eye, not for treating them.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections explicitly state that the VISX WaveScan™ Wavefront System is a "diagnostic instrument" for measuring and analyzing refractive errors of the eye.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "diagnostic instrument" and describes hardware components like "tiny sensors," "lenses," and "apertures" that measure light and wavefronts from the eye. While it uses software for analysis, it is not solely software.
Based on the provided information, the VISX WaveScan™ Wavefront System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The WaveScan™ system directly measures the refractive properties of the eye in vivo (within the living body) using light. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
- The intended use is for measuring refractive errors of the eye. This is a diagnostic measurement performed directly on the patient's eye, not on a sample taken from the patient.
- The device description details the interaction of light with the eye's optical system. This further confirms that the measurement is happening within the eye itself.
Therefore, the VISX WaveScan™ Wavefront System is a diagnostic instrument, but it falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices, not in vitro diagnostic devices.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VISX WaveScanted System Model HS 1 is a diagnostic instrument indicated for the automated measurement and analysis of refractive errors of the eye including hyperopia and myopia from +6.00 to -8.00 diopters spherical, and astigmatism from 0.00 to -6.00 diopters.

Device Description
The WaveScan™ Wavefront System Model HS 1 autorefractor device is a diagnostic instrument designed to measure refractive error of the eye automatically by use of wavefront technology. Light travels in a procession of flat sheets known as wavefronts. As these wavefronts pass through an imperfect refractive medium including the cornea and the lens, the aberrations which are created by the irregular surfaces "wrinkle" the light rays and create wavefront errors or distortions. The instrument contains tiny sensors which measure the gradient, or slope, of the wavefront which emanate from the eye. After light travels through the eye's optical system and out again, the sensors accurately detect slight variations of wavefront irregularities as they exit the eye. The sensors then provide additional information within the confines of the instrument through a series of lenses and apertures which are subject to mathematical algorithms and software. Once analyzed by the computer, a refractive error read-out is provided to the user. This analysis is made from multiple points of light which precisely pinpoint variations in refractive status across the entrance pupil of the eye. This allows for the high level of accuracy of the instrument thus providing the user with very precise readings of refractive error.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol
Comparison testing was conducted under a protocol designed to demonstrate the equivalence of the WaveScan™ Wavefront Model HS 1 to the Canon Model R-50m autorefractor. These devices which are basically equivalent, measure refractive error of the eye automatically by use of scanning light deflection through the optics of the eye. The near infrared light acts as a secondary light source reflected off the back of the eye at the retina. The emerging light passes through the optics of the lens and cornea and is affected by a series of apertures and lenses which are then systematically analyzed through mathematical models and reveal the measurement of refractive error. The tests were conducted using a model test eve developed by VISX. Inc. and modeled after the Gullstrand Standard Test Eye Model established for bench testing in the ophthalmic community. Tests were conducted across a range of refractive errors including myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatic errors of refraction at various and orientations. Combinations of myopic and hyperopic astigmatism were employed. Each of these test conditions was repeated five times in each instrument, and subject to statistical analysis.
Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The results indicated that the WaveScan™, Wavefront System performed within statistical 95% level of confidence in all parameters measured and was equivalent or superior to the control instrument in accuracy and repeatability. Overall, the WaveScan device provided estimates of refractive error with less variability than the control device as seen in the data, from standard deviation estimates.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO:
The WaveScan™ Wavefront System Model HS 1 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Canon R-50m. Both devices have the same indication for use, in that they are devices which are diagnostic tools for obtaining objective output measurements of refractive error of the eye. These devices obtain this information by means of light ray deflection principles to measure the refractive elements of the eye and provide automated read-outs of refractive error. The principle of light waves incorporates the known elements of light energy moving in successive flat sheets, or wavefronts. The measurement principles of both instruments utilize the element of wavefront measurements from the refractive elements of the eye, the lens and cornea as light interference changes the wavefront as affected by these elements. Each instrument utilize condensing lenses within the body of the instrument, and a fogging technique which blurs a fixation target for the patient who is being measured. The output measures for each instrument consist of the spherical, cylindrical and axis of the subject's refractive error which are provided in a printed read-out format.
