Intended Use
The Pachycam is designed to photograph the eye and take Scheimpflug images of the anterior segment of the eye to evaluate the thickness of the cornea. The implanted keratometer measures the central radii of the cornea.
Device Description
The Pachycam is a non-invasive, diagnostic system created to take photos of the anterior segment of the eye, portable and AC powered. The system is based on the Scheimpflug Principle for Slit Image photography. The device consists of a measurement unit, power supply and a CPU. The measuring system uses blue light (UV-free) given to a slit to illuminate the eye, and a CCD-Camera for photography. The device takes a series of the anterior segment of the eye from one fixed location (180°) and analyses one, selected by software.

No
The summary describes standard image acquisition and analysis based on the Scheimpflug principle, with no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

No
The Pachycam is described as a "diagnostic system" designed to "photograph the eye and take Scheimpflug images of the anterior segment of the eye to evaluate the thickness of the cornea" and "measures the central radii of the cornea." Its purpose is to obtain information about the eye, not to treat a condition or restore function.

Yes
The device description states that the Pachycam is a "non-invasive, diagnostic system" and its intended use is to "evaluate the thickness of the cornea" and measure "the central radii of the cornea," which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a measurement unit, power supply, CPU, and a CCD-Camera, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Pachycam directly examines the eye in vivo (within the living body) using light and photography. It does not analyze blood, tissue, urine, or any other bodily fluid or sample.
  • The intended use and device description clearly state it photographs and takes images of the eye. This is a form of in vivo imaging and measurement, not in vitro testing.

The Pachycam is a diagnostic imaging device used to assess the physical structure of the eye.

Basics for Substantial Equivalence

Image /page/3/Picture/2 description: The image shows a logo with the word "OCULUS" in block letters at the bottom. Above the word is a stylized symbol that resembles a star or crown shape. Inside the star shape is a design that looks like an eye or lens. The logo is simple and geometric in style.

The systems utilize the same or similar Operating System. It contain

  • an optical system, .
  • a source of illumination for observation and photography, .
  • a CCD-Camera as photographic medium, .

Both systems have the same intended use, to measure the anterior eye segment

Both systems use the same device features like a

  • . head stabilizing device
  • external fixation target .
  • joy stick for control mechanism. .

Both systems are considered "Non Invasive" as defined in 21 CFR §812.3(k) and considered not to be a "Significant Risk Device" as defined in 21 CFR §812.3(m)

Indications for Use

Intended Use:

The Pachycam is designed to photograph the eye and take Scheimpflug images of the anterior segment of the eye to evaluate the thickness of the cornea. The implanted keratometer measures the central radii of the cornea.

Safety

The Pachycam is a non-invasive diagnostic system, which contacts the patient only on his/her chin and forehead. The Pachycam does not present or pose any new or additional effects for risk on the safety prescribed intended uses. The light output is of an eye safe intensity and wavelength. The electrical safety requirements for medical devices are met. The Pachycam is proven effective for its intended uses through internal company studies.
