Device Description
The Kowa hand-held retinal camera, KOWA GENESIS-D is a device intended to capture and save fundus images with mydriatic. Similar to the KOWA GENESIS, the KOWA GENESIS-D is a mydriatic retinal camera. In comparison with the KOWA GENESIS, it contains a similar optical system, and power supply system, and maintains the same level of safety performance. The KOWA GENESIS-D is similar to the Nidek Handy NM-100 in that it is equipped with a highly sensitive CCD camera, does not require film for photography, and allows for immediate viewing of the image after image is captured. Both devices are equipped with highly sensitive CCD cameras, and use a lower flash light intensity than previous cameras requiring film, thereby providing greater user comfort. Compared to the predicate device, the KOWA GENESIS-D uses less power during observation by using a visible LED light for observation lighting. Various weight savings were achieved with the KOWA GENESIS-D camera to allow the user to be able to hold it in one hand with ease.

No
The summary describes a retinal camera focused on image capture and saving, with comparisons to predicate devices based on optical systems, power supply, safety, and image acquisition technology (CCD camera, LED light). There is no mention of image analysis, processing beyond capture and saving, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a retinal camera intended to capture and save fundus images, which is for diagnostic imaging purposes, not for treating a condition.

No
The device is described as capturing and saving fundus images, but there is no mention of it being used for diagnosis or providing diagnostic information. Its function is limited to image acquisition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held retinal camera" and details hardware components like an optical system, power supply, and CCD camera.

Based on the provided information, the Kowa hand-held retinal camera, KOWA GENESIS-D 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) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The KOWA GENESIS-D is a retinal camera that captures images of the fundus (the back of the eye). This is an in-vivo imaging process, not an in-vitro examination of a specimen.

The device's intended use is to capture and save images of the fundus, which is a direct observation of a part of the body, not an analysis of a biological sample.
