The document describes a non-invasive flare photometry device that measures protein levels using optical systems and analysis of detected photon intensity. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts in the device description, performance studies, or key metrics. The focus is on traditional optical measurement and analysis techniques.
No
The device is used to measure protein levels, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic one. It does not treat or prevent any condition.
Yes
The device measures protein levels in the anterior chamber of the human eye, which is a diagnostic indicator for inflammatory conditions. Being a quantitative assessment tool for a biological marker, it aids in diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of three hardware units: Measurement unit (containing optical system, laser, photo receiver, CCD camera), Operating unit (containing monitor, analyzer, printer, migratory mechanism), and Power supply unit. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.
Based on the provided information, the KOWA FM-600 is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are performed outside of the living organism.
- KOWA FM-600 Function: The KOWA FM-600 is described as a "noninyasive flare photometry device that is able to assess anterior protein level quantitatively." It measures the protein level in the aqueous humor of the anterior chamber of the human eye. This measurement is performed in vivo (within the living organism), not on a sample taken from the body.
Therefore, the KOWA FM-600 falls under the category of a medical device used for diagnosis or monitoring, but it is not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
According to ISO5725-1 and ISO5725-2. repeatability and reproducibility are evaluated. and are obtained 1.5% for repeatability and 4% for reproducibility in standard deviation. The results are shown in Table Al.
Relation of flare value and using Bovine albumin solution, BSA, is shown in Figure A1.
The precision is defined by standard deviation of measurement value built in calibrator of FM-600. This calibrator has a reflection ability of 80 photon counts per millisecond. The precision of FM-600 is less than 5% at 80 photon counts per millisecond.
The plot shows a linear relationship between flare value and BSA concentration up to approximately 4000 mg/dL, with the equation y = 0.126x + 4.720 and an R-squared value of 0.993. Beyond 4000 mg/dL, the flare value plateaus around 400 PC/ms.
Comparison with the predicate device is shown in Table A2.
To evaluate performance equivalency, performance test using Bovine albumin solution as protein model in the anterior chamber is performed. From the studies of correlation and Bland-Altman plot of the flare value, KOWA FM-600 has good correlation and low valiance for the predicate device.
