An AC-powered slitlamp biomicroscope is intended for use in eye examination of the anterior eye segment, from the cornea epithelium to the posterior capsule. It is used to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma which affect the structural properties of the anterior eye segment.
An AC-powered Slitlamp Biomicroscope is an AC-powered device that is a microscope intended for use in eye examination that projects into a patient's eye through a control diaphragm a thin, intense beam of light. The slit lamp illumination is composed of the light source, the slit; collimation and imaging optics, and infrared and ultraviolet filters and a dielectric mirror. The slit lamps have the option to combine a background illumination together with the slit illumination.
This 510(k) summary describes a traditional medical device (Slit Lamps BM 900 / BQ 900 / BP 900) and not an AI/ML powered device. As such, the input document does not contain the information required to answer the requested questions about acceptance criteria and a study proving device conformance for an AI/ML device. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Slit Lamp BC 900) based on similar technology and function, and compliance with general safety and performance standards.
Therefore, I cannot provide a response for the following:
- A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Adjudication method for the test set
- If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, and the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
- If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done
- The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- The sample size for the training set
- How the ground truth for the training set was established
The document only details the comparison of technological characteristics between the new devices and the predicate device, and the general safety and EMC data derived from testing one of the new models (BQ 900) against recognized standards (ISO 15004-2, ISO 10939, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2). It concludes that the new devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device and meet safety and effectiveness standards, but does not provide performance metrics or studies in the format requested for an AI/ML product.
§ 886.1850 AC-powered slitlamp biomicroscope.
(a)
Identification. An AC-powered slitlamp biomicroscope is an AC-powered device that is a microscope intended for use in eye examination that projects into a patient's eye through a control diaphragm a thin, intense beam of light.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is intended only for the visual examination of the anterior segment of the eye, is classified as Group 1 per FDA-recognized consensus standard ANSI Z80.36, does not provide any quantitative output, and is not intended for screening or automated diagnostic indications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9.
