Intended Use
The Foresce Home is intended for use in the detection and characterization of central and paracentral metamorphopsia (visual distortion) in patients with age-related macular degeneration, as an aid in monitoring progression of disease factors causing metamorphopsia including but not limited to choroidal neovascularization (CNV). It is intended to be used at home for patients with stable fixation.
Device Description
The Foresee Home system is an interactive software driven device that provides a series of linear images to the macular and peri-macular region of the eye. The changes in macular and near macular function can be quantified by the device thus enabling the reader to detect early changes in macular degeneration and associated diseases to allow earlier intervention. The Foresee Home applies the concept of the static and automated perimeter in the detection of visual field defects. The technology, based on hyperacuity, is used for highly specific quantification of central and paracentral visual fields defects. Hyperacuity (also termed "Vernier acuity") is defined as the ability to perceive a difference in the relative spatial localization of two or more visual stimuli. Hyperacuity threshold may be as low as 3-6 sec of arc and the hyperacuity stimuli are highly resistant to retinal image degradation and thus suitable for assessing retinal function in patients with opaque media as well. Retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) elevation, such as that which occurs in AMD, causes a shift in the regular position of photoreceptors. It is hypothesized that such a shift causes an object to be perceived at a different location from its true location in space. The analysis engine of the device tries to define areas in the visual field that are suspected as being related to CNV. Such areas are called CNV related zones. Although these zones are called 'CNV-related,' they simply indicate areas of greater metamorphopsia and can often occur in non-CNV lesions." Note that the response on this indicator is only indicative of the presence or absence of significant metamorphopsia that may exist in conditions NOT associated with CNV (such as geographic atrophy or drusen). The Foresee Home is intended to be used in a home environment following training given by a qualified healthcare professional. The user interface and interaction with the device is similar to office Preview PHP. The results of each testing session, the test reports, similar to these generated by the Preview PHP system, will be transmitted electronically directly to the healthcare professional. Test reports will not be displayed on the monitor in the patient's home, but rather will be used by the healthcare professional in the same fashion as it is currently employed with the in-office Preview PHP. Thus, the only difference between the Preview PHP system and the Foresee Home is that the Foresee Home unit is placed in the patient's home environment to facilitate testing and the test report is then transmitted to the healthcare professional. It should be noted that the Foresee Home is not intended to provide automated interpretation, evaluation, treatment decisions, or to be used as a substitute for professional healthcare judgment.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on hyperacuity testing and a deterministic analysis engine, with no mention of AI or ML terms or concepts.

No.
The device is intended for detection and characterization of visual distortion and monitoring progression of related disease factors, which are diagnostic purposes, not therapeutic.

Yes

The device aids in monitoring the progression of disease factors, detects and characterizes metamorphopsia, quantifies changes in macular and near macular function, and defines CNV-related zones, all of which are diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "interactive software driven device that provides a series of linear images to the macular and peri-macular region of the eye." This implies the device includes hardware components to generate and present these images to the user's eye, in addition to the software that drives the process and analyzes the results. The comparison to the "in-office Preview PHP" further suggests a physical device is involved.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs analyze samples from the human body. The Foresee Home device interacts directly with the patient's eye to assess visual function. It does not analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The device description focuses on visual perception and retinal function. The technology is based on hyperacuity and the detection of visual field defects, not on the analysis of biological markers or substances.
  • The intended use is for detecting and characterizing metamorphopsia. This is a functional assessment of vision, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, the Foresee Home device falls under the category of a medical device that assesses physiological function, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The clinical study submitted in K050350 for the Preview PHP was designed to validate that that the minimal percent positive agreement and minimal percent negative agreement are greater than 80%. The study results demonstrated that the percent positive agreement was 81.5% and percent negative agreement was 87.7%. The Preview PHP results were compared to the gold standards, i.e., color fundus photographs and fluorescein angiographics.
The Foresee Home usability study showed that after clinic training, 98.5% of the users were capable of performing the test by themselves.
Comparison between unsupervised test in a home simulated environment and supervised test in the clinic showed correlation of 93.85%, indicating that the test results are similar no matter if the examination was supervised at the clinic or performed without assistance by the users at their home environment.

INDICATION FOR USE

The Foresee Home is intended for use in the detection and characterization of central and paracentral metamorphopsia (visual distortion) in patients with age-related macular degeneration, as an aid in monitoring progression of disease factors causing metamorphopsia including but not limited to choroidal neovascularization (CNV). It is intended to be used at home for patients with stable fixation.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The technical characteristics of the Foresee Home are similar to the Preview PHP (KOSO350).

PERFORMANCE DATA

Since the results of testing of the Foresee Home results are similar to those of the Preview PHP, the performance. i.e., percent positive agreement and percent negative agreement of the Foresee Home, are also similar to the performance of Preview PHP (K050350).

2

The clinical study submitted in K050350 for the Preview PHP was designed to validate that that the minimal percent positive agreement and minimal percent negative agreement are greater than 80%. The study results demonstrated that the percent positive agreement was 81.5% and percent negative agreement was 87.7%. The Preview PHP results were compared to the gold standards, i.e., color fundus photographs and fluorescein angiographics.

This 510K addresses the ability of the system to be used in home environment. The Foresee Home usability study showed that after clinic training, 98.5% of the users were capable of performing the test by themselves.

Comparison between unsupervised test in a home simulated environment and supervised test in the clinic showed correlation of 93.85%, indicating that the test results are similar no matter if the examination was supervised at the clinic or performed without assistance by the users at their home environment.

BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The technological characteristics and testing results of the Foresee Home in home use are similar to these of the predicate device, the Preview PHP, cleared under K050350.

The Amsler Grid has similar intended use: to rapidly detect central and paracentral irregularities in the visual field.

Data transfer is accomplished by means of a telemedicine module that is substantially equivalent to the Motiva Monitor Device, cleared under K071564. Additional predicate devices are included and offer similar collection and transmission of health related information from the patient's home to health care professionals; these include the River I telemedicine system (K063609) and the Commander III (K053303).
