No
The description focuses on the optical and mechanical components of the device and image acquisition, with no mention of AI/ML for image processing or analysis.
No
The device is described as an imaging tool that provides visualization of tissue microstructure, not for treating or rehabilitating a condition.
Yes
The device is described as an "imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure," which implies its use in diagnosing or aiding in the diagnosis of conditions by providing detailed visual information about tissue.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components like an Imaging Console with internal optical and electrical components, a super luminescent diode (SLD) light source, and a detachable fiberoptic Probe with a scanning mechanism. This indicates it is a hardware-based imaging system, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, the Imalux Niris Imaging System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "as an imaging tool in the evaluation of human tissue microstructure by providing two-dimensional, crosssectional, real-time depth visualization." This describes a device that directly interacts with and images living tissue within the body (or on the surface of the body), not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue biopsies) in a laboratory setting.
- Device Description: The description details how the device uses near infrared light to image tissue microstructure in situ via a probe. This is characteristic of an imaging system used on a patient, not an IVD that processes samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.
Therefore, the Imalux Niris Imaging System falls under the category of an in vivo imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Imalux Niris Imaging System utilizes near infrared (NIR) light to create high spatial resolution, real-time images of human tissue microstructure. The Niris Imaging System consists of an Imaging Console and a detachable, flexible fiberoptic Probe. The Imaging Console consists of internal optical and electrical components and a user interface system.
The Niris Imaging Console contains optical and electrical components, including a super luminescent diode (SLD) light source. The NIR light is directed from the Console through the Probe's optical fiber to the patient's tissue. The optical light is backscattered from the patient's tissue, collected by the Probe's fiber, and, combined with a reference, to produce a high spatial resolution image of the tissue microstructure. By using a small lateral scanning mechanism contained within the Probe, the optical beam scans laterally across the tissue surface while simultaneously acquiring an in-depth profile at each lateral position. By combining in-depth and lateral scanning, the Niris Imaging System produces a two-dimensional, cross-sectional image of the tissue microstructure.
The Imaging Console has a user interface for acquiring, displaying, and reporting images. Image data is stored onto the system and can be exported via Ethernet or USB data ports on the console.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The Niris Imaging System is substantially equivalent in its intended use, technologies, principle of operation, and functionality to the Imalux OCT Imaging System, cleared under 510(k) premarket notification number K033783. It has the same technological characteristics, key safety and performance features, physical design, construction, and has the same intended uses and operating modes as the predicate device.
Both Systems include an Imaging Console and a detachable, reusable Probe. Within the Console, both System designs are based on the principles of Optical Coherence Tomography, which utilizes low coherence interferometry. In addition, both Systems use Near Infrared (NIR) light, albeit at slightly different central wavelengths. A modification in the optical topology has enabled Probes of different lengths to be used with the same Console, without impacting the performance specifications. Image performance specifications have remained unchanged. The Probe distal design is the same for both devices; however, the proximal end connector to the console has been integrated from two separate connectors into one for ease of use. Minor software enhancements, such as image scrolling, have been added to facilitate ease-of-use.
These design modifications have been verified and validated to fulfill the performance requirements of the device. In addition, the device has been tested for compliance to applicable safety testing standards.

Identification. An ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system is a device intended to project a pulsed sound beam into body tissue to determine the depth or location of the tissue interfaces and to measure the duration of an acoustic pulse from the transmitter to the tissue interface and back to the receiver. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). A biopsy needle guide kit intended for use with an ultrasonic pulsed echo imaging system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.
