Intended Use
The RTA Model D Retinal Thickness Analyzer ("RTA") is a computerized slitlamp biomicroscope that is intended to provide manual and computerized tomography of the retina in vivo. The RTA scans successive slit images on the fundus, without the need for a contact lens, to determine the thickness and the inner structure of the retina, both by observation of the slit images and by computer analysis of these images. It is indicated for assessing the area and location of retinal thickness abnormalities, such as thickening due to macular edema and atrophy associated with degenerative diseases, and for visualizing other retinal pathologies.
Device Description
The RTA is a modification of the previously cleared CRTA Clinical Retinal Thickness Analyzer ("CRTA"). As with the CRTA, the RTA is a computerized electro-optical system comprised of two primary components, namely the optical head and the computer system. The main elements of the optical head include laser and conventional light sources, optics, a scanner, and a digital camera. The RTA is a computerized slitlamp biomicroscope that provides manual and computerized tomography of the retina in vivo. The RTA scans successive slit images of the fundus to determine the thickness and the inner structure of the retina, both by observation of the slit images and by computer analysis of these images. The RTA uses a helium neon laser source that emits green light at a wavelength of 543.3 nm. The beam is focused into a thin slit and, by means of a mirror, is directed toward the eye. The scanner and optics then detect the image of the illuminated portion of the retina and transmit the image to the digital camera. The digital camera then captures the image, where it can then be stored and analyzed by the computer system.
More Information

No
The summary mentions "computer analysis of these images" but provides no details suggesting the use of AI/ML algorithms, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with such technologies. The description aligns with standard image processing techniques.

No.
The document states that the device is intended to "determine the thickness and the inner structure of the retina" and is "indicated for assessing the area and location of retinal thickness abnormalities," which are diagnostic functions, not therapeutic ones.

Yes
The device is described as a computerized slitlamp biomicroscope that determines the thickness and inner structure of the retina and is indicated for assessing retinal thickness abnormalities and visualizing retinal pathologies. This falls under the definition of a diagnostic device as it helps identify and characterize diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a computerized electro-optical system comprised of an optical head and a computer system, with the optical head containing hardware components like laser and conventional light sources, optics, a scanner, and a digital camera.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body). The RTA Model D, as described, is a device that directly examines the retina in vivo (within the living body) using optical imaging.
  • The intended use and device description clearly state that the RTA is a computerized slitlamp biomicroscope that performs tomography of the retina in vivo. It scans the fundus and analyzes images of the retina within the eye.

Therefore, the RTA Model D falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

510(K) SUMMARY RTA Model D Retinal Thickness Analyzer Page 2 of 2

The RTA is a computerized slitlamp biomicroscope that provides manual and computerized tomography of the retina in vivo. The RTA scans successive slit images of the fundus to determine the thickness and the inner structure of the retina, both by observation of the slit images and by computer analysis of these images. The RTA uses a helium neon laser source that emits green light at a wavelength of 543.3 nm. The beam is focused into a thin slit and, by means of a mirror, is directed toward the eye. The scanner and optics then detect the image of the illuminated portion of the retina and transmit the image to the digital camera. The digital camera then captures the image, where it can then be stored and analyzed by the computer system.

Substantial Equivalence:

The RTA is a modification to the previously cleared CRTA Retinal Thickness Analyzer. The only differences between the previously cleared CRTA and the modified RTA device are:

    1. The diameter of the aperture opening has been reduced from 5.2 mm to 3 mm:
    1. The angle between outgoing and incoming beam (Stereo-base) has been modified:
  • The analog fundus imaging camera has been replaced by a CCD digital 3. camera;
  • An, additional, non-mydriatic (flash) operating mode has been added: 4. and
  • The user interface has been updated to account for the above 5. modifications and to increase overall ease of use.

Through design control assessment, including verification and validation testing, Talia has demonstrated that the modifications to the RTA do not alter the device's intended use or indications, nor have the principles of operation or technological characteristics been altered. Although there are minor differences between the RTA and the CRTA, these differences do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness. Accordingly, the RTA is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
