The summary describes image processing and analysis, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms, nor are there details about training or test sets typically associated with AI/ML development.
No
Synergy is a software platform for managing clinical images and data, not for providing therapy.
Yes
The device is described as a software platform that processes, measures, analyzes, and stores clinical images and videos of the eye for diagnostic data and clinical information. It also enables real-time review of diagnostic patient information.
Yes
The device is described as a "software platform" that processes, analyzes, and manages data and images from other medical devices. While it interacts with hardware (imaging devices and PC workstations), the core functionality and the device being cleared is the software itself. The description does not indicate that the submission includes any hardware components or hardware validation/verification.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that Synergy processes and analyzes clinical images and videos of the eye. This is direct imaging of a part of the body, not the analysis of a biological sample taken from the body.
- The input modalities are imaging devices. OCT, retinal cameras, and slit lamps are all used for imaging the eye, not for analyzing biological specimens.
- The focus is on image processing and data management. The description emphasizes the acquisition, processing, measurement, analysis, storage, and management of images and patient data related to ophthalmic diagnostic instruments.
While the software processes and analyzes data for diagnostic purposes, the data itself is derived from imaging the eye directly, not from an in vitro examination of a biological sample.

§ 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)

Performance Data
No performance data was required or provided. Software validation and verification demonstrate that the Synergy performs as intended and meets its' specifications.
Substantial Equivalence
Synergy is as safe and effective as the identified predicate devices including Topcon Corporation's IMAGEnet Professional PC Software System (K082364). Nidek's Advanced Vision Information System (NAVIS) (K013694), Digital Healthcare's Oculab IP (K071299) and Topcon Corporation's 3D OCT-1000 (K072971). Synergy has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices. Both Synergy and the predicate devices have similar technological characteristics. Synergy and all the identified predicate devices with the exception of the Topcon 3D OCT-1000 are software only devices.
Capturing devices for Synergy are OCT, mydriatic and non-mydriatic retinal cameras and slit lamps which are similar to the other predicate devices. Topcon Corporation's IMAGEnet Professional PC Software System, Digital Healthcare's Oculab IP and Nidek's Advanced Vision Information System (NAVIS) all allow capture with mydriatic and non-mydriatic retinal cameras and slit lamps. The 3D OCT-1000 captures images with OCT.
Synergy, Digital Healthcare's Oculab IP, Topcon Corporation's IMAGEnet Professional PC Software System and Nidek's Advanced Vision Information System (NAVIS) all allow importing and management of files and images from a range of ophthalmic diagnostic devices including DICOM files, image files of known format, and video images. Synergy and the Digital Healthcare, Ltd. Oculab IP both also allow import of printer files.
In regards to measurement and analysis functions, Synergy, Digital Healthcare's Oculab IP, Topcon Corporation's IMAGEnet Professional PC Software System and Nidek's Advanced Vision Information System (NAVIS) all perform line/area measurements of retinal images. Additionally, Synergy and Topcon's 3D OCT-1000 both provide OCT retinal and RNFL thickness measurements functions.
In conclusion. Synergy shares similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices, both in terms of the manner in which images are captured, analyzed, and
3
stored, as well as the operation of the device by the intended user. Any minor differences in operation do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Synergy raises the same issues of safety and effectiveness as the predicate devices.
