More Information

Not Found

No
The summary mentions image processing (spatial calibration, registration, and alignment) but does not explicitly mention AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The description of the technology focuses on standard image processing techniques.

No.
The device's intended use is to collect, store, and spatially calibrate images of the human eye, which is a diagnostic or image processing function, not a therapeutic one.

No
The device is described as software for collecting, storing, and spatially calibrating images, not for diagnosing conditions. Its stated "Intended Use" focuses on image management rather than diagnostic interpretation.

Yes

The device description explicitly states it is a "software program" and its function is to process images. There is no mention of accompanying hardware being part of the device itself.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use of the MatchedFlicker® device is to collect, store, and process images of the posterior segment of the human eye. This involves analyzing images, not biological samples.
  • The description focuses on image processing and calibration. The core function is manipulating and aligning images, which is not the typical function of an IVD.
  • The anatomical site is the posterior segment of the human eye. This is a part of the living body, not a specimen taken from the body.

The device appears to be a medical image processing software, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Device Description

The MatchedFlicker® device is software to aid professionals to more easily compare and annotate time-series images of the posterior segment of the human eye for monitoring the progression of glaucoma and other diseases. Currently these analyses are performed by a side-by-side comparison of serial mono or stereo-photographs. For example, in glaucoma there are two challenges to assessing the structure of the optic nerve. The first is distinguishing between a normal and a glaucomatous optic nerve. Changes in retinal structure, which signal the advent and progression of retinal disease, can be seen in photographs much earlier than in visual field tests. The more important challenge is detecting glaucoma progression over time prior to visual field loss. The MatchedFlicker® device is an aid to photo-documentation of stereo evidence of glaucomatous (or other diseases') changes in the retina and other structures of the posterior segment over time.

§ 892.2050 Medical image management and processing system.

(a)
Identification. A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.(b)

Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:

The MatchedFlicker® device is software to aid professionals to more easily compare and annotate time-series images of the posterior segment of the human eye for monitoring the progression of glaucoma and other diseases. Currently these analyses are performed by a side-by-side comparison of serial mono or stereo-photographs.

The MatchedFlicker® device is an aid to photo-documentation of stereo evidence of glaucomatous (or other diseases') changes in the retina and other structures of the posterior segment over time.

MatchedFlicker® is digital imaging software regulated by FDA as a type of Picture Archiving and Communications System (21CFR 892.2050) under product code NFJ. It is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed digital imaging software. Specifically, EyeIC's MatchedFlicker® software is substantially equivalent to NAVIS manufactured by Nidek, Inc. (K013694), to Retasure manufactured by Digital Healthcare, Inc. (K071299), and to IMAGEnet manufactured by Topcon Corp (K082364).

Dear Dr. Waxler:

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 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.
