KOWA GENESIS-Df is a device intended to capture and save fundus images with mydriatic.
Device Description
KOWA GENESIS-Df is a hand-held mydriatic retinal camera which captures fundus image. 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. It uses a lower flash light intensity than previous cameras requiring film, thereby providing greater user comfort. Compared to the predicate device, the KOWA GENESIS-Df uses less power during observation by using a visible LED light for observation lighting. Various weight savings were achieved with the KOWA GENESIS-Df camera to allow the user to be able to hold it in one hand with ease.

No
The summary describes a retinal camera for capturing images and mentions improvements in hardware and user comfort, but there is no mention of AI or ML for image analysis or processing.

No
The device is described as an imaging tool that captures and saves fundus images, rather than providing or assisting with therapy.

No
The KOWA GENESIS-Df is described as a device that captures and saves fundus images; it does not claim to interpret or diagnose based on these images.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "hand-held mydriatic retinal camera" and describes hardware components like a CCD camera, flash light, and LED light.

Based on the provided information, the KOWA GENESIS-Df is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The KOWA GENESIS-Df captures images of the fundus (the back of the eye), which is a direct imaging of a part of the body, not an analysis of a biological sample taken from the body.
  • The intended use is to capture and save fundus images. This is a diagnostic imaging function, not an in vitro test.
  • The device description focuses on imaging technology and user comfort. It describes a camera and its features for capturing images.

Therefore, the KOWA GENESIS-Df falls under the category of a medical imaging device, not an IVD.

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. It uses a lower flash light intensity than previous cameras requiring film, thereby providing greater user comfort.

Various weight savings were achieved with the KOWA GENESIS-Df camera to allow the user to be able to hold it in one hand with ease. The reflectance of the reflective mirror of a flash lamp and the transmissivity of the optical pass system of an optical fiber were raised by having added the function of Fluorescent angiography (PA). Moreover, design change of electrical circuit and capacitance were enlarged compared with KOWA GENESIS-D.

Date Summary Prepared:

Device Trade Name:

Classification name:

Product Code:

CAMERA, OPHTHALMIC, AC-POWERED HKI

Intended use:

KOWA GENESIS-Df is a device intended to capture and save fundus images with mydriatic.

Comparison:

KOWA GENESIS Df makes basics structures are the same as that of KOWA GENESIS-D. The reflectance of the reflective mirror of a flash lamp and the transmissivity of the optical pass system of an optical fiber were raised by having added the function of Fluorescent angiography (PA). Moreover, design change of electrical circuit and capacitance were enlarged compared with KOWA GENESIS-D. Therefore, evaluation of light hazard, electrical safety, and EMC was performed, and it was checked that device safety is a level equivalent to KOWA GENESIS-D.

The KOWA GENESIS-Df is similar to the KOWA GENESIS-D 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-Df uses less power during observation by using a visible LED light for observation lighting.

Various weight savings were achieved with the KOWA GENESIS-Df camera to allow the user to be able to hold it in one hand with ease.

The function comparison of KOWAGENESIS-Df and the predicate devices is shown in the comparison table below:

  • The maximum rated of the flash bulb currently used is using the KOWA GENESIS-D. For fluorescence photographing function loading, capacity of the power supply was enlarged, inputs energy was enlarged, and amount of luminescence was increased by improving the efficiency of optical systems.

Conclusion:

The KOWA GENESIS-Df is equipped with the same fundamental technology as the predicate devices and maintains the same level of safety performance. Therefore it has been concluded that there are no significant differences in the fundamental function or safety between KOWA GENESIS-Df and the predicate devices.
