Intended Use
The LADARWave" CustomCornea® Wavefront System is used for measuring, recording, and analyzing visual aberrations (such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, coma and spherical aberration) and for displaying refractive error maps of the eye to assist in prescribing refractive corrections. This device is enabled to export wavefront data and associated anatomical registration information to a compatible treatment laser with an indication for wavefront-guided refractive surgery.
Device Description
The LADARWave" CustomCornea® Wavefront System is an aberrometer, utilizing Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing to measure the aberrations in the human eye. The device contains four major optical subsystems used in the clinical wavefront examination: a fixation subsystem, a video subsystem, a probe beam subsystem, and a wavefront detection subsystem. These subsystems are all under control of the device software.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the description focuses on traditional optical and software control methods for wavefront sensing.

No.
The device is used for measuring, recording, and analyzing visual aberrations and displaying refractive error maps to assist in prescribing refractive corrections. It is a diagnostic and measurement device, not one that provides therapy or treatment.

Yes
The device is used for measuring, recording, and analyzing visual aberrations and displaying refractive error maps of the eye to assist in prescribing refractive corrections, which falls under the definition of diagnosing eye conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it contains four major optical subsystems (fixation, video, probe beam, and wavefront detection) which are hardware components, even though they are controlled by software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The LADARWave CustomCornea Wavefront System measures visual aberrations and refractive errors directly in the eye using optical sensing (Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure and analyze visual aberrations and refractive errors of the eye to assist in prescribing refractive corrections and for wavefront-guided refractive surgery. This is a direct measurement of a physiological characteristic of the eye, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of an ophthalmic diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

The LADARWave" CustomCornea® Wavefront System is an aberrometer, utilizing Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensing to measure the aberrations in the human eye. The device contains four major optical subsystems used in the clinical wavefront examination.

  • A fixation subsystem provides the patient with an unambiguous point of fixation. . Optics in this path adjust automatically to correct for the patient's spherocylindrical error so that the target is clearly observed.
  • A video subsystem provides the device operator with a view of the eye at the . measurement plane. The operator uses the video imagery to position the eye for the measurement and to record the geometry of the wavefront relative to anatomical features.
  • A probe beam subsystem directs a narrow beam of eye-safe infrared radiation into the . eye to generate the re-emitted wavefront.
  • A wavefront detection subsystem images the re-emitted wavefront onto the entrance ● face of the Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor.
    These subsystems are all under control of the device software.

§ 886.1760 Ophthalmic refractometer.

(a)
Identification. An ophthalmic refractometer is an automatic AC-powered device that consists of a fixation system, a measurement and recording system, and an alignment system intended to measure the refractive power of the eye by measuring light reflexes from the retina.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 886.9.
