Intended Use
Slit Lamp AIA-11 Series and AIA-12 Series are intended for use in eye examination of the anterior eye segment, from the cornea epithelium to the posterior capsule. It is used to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma which affects the structural properties of the anterior eye segment.
Device Description
An AC-powered Slit Lamp biomicroscope is an AC-powered device that is a microscope intended for use in eye examination that projects in to the patient's eye through a control diaphragm a thin, intense beam of light. Slit lamp examination is done to look at the front parts of the eye, including the cornea, lens, iris and the front section of the vitreous gel. Slit Lamp AIA-11 Series (AIA-11, AIA-11 3S, AIA-11 5S, AIA-11 Zoom) have the same operating characteristics and intended use. These models differ only in the number of Magnification. Slit Lamp AIA-12 Series (AIA-12, AIA-12 3S, AIA-12 5S, AIA-12 Zoom) have the same operating characteristics and intended use. These models differ only in the number of Magnification. The device and accessories are indicated as a noninyasive aid in the examination and diagnosis of the eye conditions. It is also used to fit the contact lenses.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the optical and mechanical aspects of a standard slit lamp, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any features that would suggest algorithmic analysis of data.

No.
The device is used for examination and diagnosis to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma, not for treatment.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device "is used to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma which affects the structural properties of the anterior eye segment" and the "Device Description" states it is "indicated as a noninyasive aid in the examination and diagnosis of the eye conditions."

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "AC-powered Slit Lamp biomicroscope," which is a hardware device that projects a beam of light. It is not solely software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the Slit Lamp is used for eye examination of the anterior eye segment. It projects light into the patient's eye and allows the user to visually inspect the structures. This is a direct examination of the patient's body, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma affecting the structural properties of the anterior eye segment through direct visual examination.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Slit Lamp AIA-11 and AIA-12 Series are ophthalmic examination devices, not IVDs.

Dear Mr. Devine:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
