Intended Use
The GDx is a confocal polarimetric scanning laser ophthalmoscope that is intended for imaging and three-dimensional analysis of the fundus and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in vivo. The GDx and its GDx Variable Corneal Compensation (VCC) and GDx Enhanced Corneal Compensation (ECC) RNFL Normative Databases aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders of the eye that may cause changes in the polarimetric retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. The GDx is to be used in patients who may have an optic neuropathy.
Device Description
The GDxPRO is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope comprising an optomechanical scanning laser head unit and a computer. The device employs Scanning Laser Polarimetry (SLP) to measure the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness using polarized light.
More Information

No
The summary describes a device using Scanning Laser Polarimetry for imaging and analysis, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The analysis is based on a normative database, which is a standard statistical comparison, not necessarily AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an imaging device used for diagnosis and monitoring, and it does not mention any therapeutic function or intervention.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the GDx device and its databases "aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders of the eye." This directly indicates its role as a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it comprises an "optomechanical scanning laser head unit and a computer," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, this device 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.
  • Device function: The GDx is a scanning laser ophthalmoscope that images and analyzes the retinal nerve fiber layer in vivo (within the living body). It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for imaging and analysis of the fundus and RNFL in vivo.

Therefore, the GDx falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

It is the opinion of Carl Zeiss Meditec, Incorporated that the GDxPRO is substantially equivalent to the GDx with ECC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Normative Database as it contains modifications to the predicate that do not raise questions of safety or efficacy. The indications for use statement for the GDxPRO is exactly the same as the indications for use statement for the predicate device cited in this application. A technological comparison demonstrates that the GDxPRO is functionally equivalent to the predicate device. Both devices are intended for imaging and three-dimensional analysis of the fundus and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in vivo.

Evaluation performed on the GDxPRO supports the indications for use statement and demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and does not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness.

SUMMARY

As described in this 510(k) Summary, all testing deemed necessary was conducted on the GDxPRO to ensure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use when used in accordance with its Instructions for Use.

Dear Mr. Devine:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
