Intended Use
Indicated Use is for scanning, mapping, and displaying the geometry of the anterior segment of the eye. Also indicated for the measurement and analysis of optical aberrations of the eye by use of wavefront technology.
Device Description
The NGDI Workstation comprises two individual measuring systems. The Anterior Segment Analyzer measures elevation and curvature on both the anterior and posterior surfaces of the cornea, full corneal pachymetry, white-to-white, anterior chamber depth and angle kappa. The Anterior Segment Analyzer in the NGDI Workstation is a diagnostic system that provides a complete analysis of the eye's optical system by utilizing slit scanning technology with an advanced Placido disc system. The slit scan is used to create the pachymetry model in the NGDI Workstation, which gives the thickness of the cornea and the location of the lens. The Aberrometer is a precision optical instrument which measures the deviation of light beams reflected off the eye's retina to define the wavefront deformation as a function of the position of the pupil. It uses a motor-controlled trombone to set up the optical path for the eye image to return through in complete focus. The Aberrometer function of the NGDI employs the principles of Hartman-Schack wavefront sensing in which a narrow illumination beam from a 785 mm, low power, laser diode goes into the eye and focuses into a diffraction limited point on the retina. The light reflects off the retina and comes back out the eye. The light exiting the eye is then passed through an array of tiny lenses (the lenslet array) that tak the exiting rays of light and breaks them into small points. With a normal, regular pattern, one can see where there is a plain wavefront with a uniform and symmetric grid and regular spacing between the points. Aberrated wavefronts are characterized by a distortion of the grid pattern after the light passes through the lenslet array.
More Information

No
The description focuses on established optical measurement techniques (slit scanning, Placido disc, Hartmann-Shack) and standard data analysis (repeatability, error statistics). There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets for algorithmic development.

No
The device is described as a diagnostic system for scanning, mapping, displaying geometry, and measuring optical aberrations of the eye, which are functions for diagnosis, not therapy.

Yes
The "Device Description" explicitly states, "The Anterior Segment Analyzer in the NGDI Workstation is a diagnostic system..." and the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" describes functions like "scanning, mapping, and displaying the geometry" and "measurement and analysis of optical aberrations," which are characteristic of diagnostic devices.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components, including a slit scanning system, Placido disc system, Aberrometer with a motor-controlled trombone, laser diode, and lenslet array. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device with integrated software, not a software-only device.

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 description clearly states that this device is used for scanning, mapping, and analyzing the geometry and optical properties of the anterior segment of the eye and the retina. It uses optical methods (slit scanning, Placido disc, wavefront sensing) to measure physical characteristics of the eye.
  • No Sample Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological samples from the patient. The measurements are taken directly from the eye itself.

Therefore, while it is a diagnostic device used in a clinical setting, it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Repeatability data was collected for a number of test objects. This was done for the NGDI and Orbscan. The comparisons were made in terms of average Keratometric Power (referred to as Diopters and abbreviated as D in this document), which is related to the Radius of Curvature by the formula Px = 337.5/ Rc(mm).
Overall Repeatability of Keratometric Power (Test Objects): Orbscan RMS Repeatability of Average Power, Diopters = 0.04; NGDI RMS Repeatability of Average Power, Diopters = 0.05.
Error Statistics (Test Objects):
Orbscan: Mean Error, Diopters = 0.05; Standard Deviation Error, Diopters = 0.09; Root Mean Square Error, Diopters = 0.10.
NGDI: Mean Error, Diopters = 0.00; Standard Deviation Error, Diopters = 0.05; Root Mean Square Error, Diopters = 0.05.

Brief summary of nonclinical tests and results: 7.

Repeatability data was collected for a number of test objects. This was done for the NGDI and Orbscan. The comparisons were made in terms of average Keratometric Power (referred to as Diopters and abbreviated as D in this document), which is related to the Radius of Curvature by the formula

Px = 337.5/ Rc(mm)

Table B - Overall Repeatability of Keratometric Power (Test Objects)

Instrument repeatability represents only a portion of the total error. Systematic errors can occur for a variety of reasons, and as a result, the variances for absolute error are generally larger than the Root Mean Square repeatability. Because the curvatures of the test objects are known, the error statistics can be computed. The results are presented in Table C.
