Device Description

The RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System utilizes a digital camera in a handpiece with multiple field of view lenses to capture color ophthalmic digital images including retinal, corneal, and external images. An on board computer is used to store, view, retrieve, and export the digital ophthalmic images. A standard Halogen light source is used to provide illumination to the eye through the handpiece. An optional Xenon light source is also available with the RetCam 3 to facilitate imaging with fluorescein angiography. Light intensity, camera focus, and image capture are controlled by the use of a RetCam 3 footswitch and can also be controlled by a keyboard on the RetCam 3 consoles. A console monitor is provided with the RetCam 3 for viewing images. Proprietary software is installed in the computer to capture, store, view, retrieve, and export ophthalmic images.

A device modification to the RetCam 3 is being made to replace the Xenon light source module with an LED light source module. Third party testing has been performed and formal certification has been obtained verifying compliance with the applicable IEC 60601 electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards. Bench testing has verified comparable safe maximum light irradiance output of the Xenon and LED light source modules. Bench testing has verified comparable fluoresce dye responses to the Xenon and LED light sources.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System, and a modification to replace its Xenon light source with an LED light source. The provided text primarily focuses on clinical performance data for screening Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) using the RetCam system, which supports the overall indication for use.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study data:


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document does not explicitly state pre-defined acceptance criteria in terms of numerical sensitivity and specificity targets. Instead, it presents the results of a clinical study and concludes that these results support the device's indications for use. For the purpose of this response, we'll infer the reported performance as the de-facto "met" criteria. The study aimed to measure the accuracy, reliability, and image quality of RetCam wide-field digital images to screen for ROP.

MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied)Reported Device Performance (Grader A)Reported Device Performance (Grader B)Reported Device Performance (Grader C)
Sensitivity (for Type 2 Pre-threshold ROP or worse)High sensitivity (to avoid missing cases)1.0 (26/26) (95% CI: 0.868, 1.0)1.0 (26/26) (95% CI: 0.868, 1.0)1.0 (26/26) (95% CI: 0.868, 1.0)

Image Quality (adequate or possibly adequate)High percentage of adequate images93.3% to 100%93.3% to 100%93.3% to 100%

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Sample Size (Test Set): Eyes from 67 consecutive infants. The total number of eyes is not explicitly stated but implies 134 eyes if both eyes were imaged and analyzed per infant. However, the sensitivity and specificity values are based on 26 positive cases for ROP and 94 negative cases, suggesting a total of 120 cases (eyes or infants) for the ROP diagnosis evaluation. The document states "31 to 33 weeks and/or 35 to 37 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA)".
  • Data Provenance: The study was a prospective trial. The geographical origin of the data is not explicitly stated, but the study was conducted by "Chiang, et. al." and published in "Archives of Ophthalmology," which suggests it's likely from a US-based medical institution, common for such publications.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

  • Number of Experts for Device Interpretation: Three (3) expert retinal specialist graders interpreted the images. Their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience) are not detailed beyond "expert retinal specialist graders."
  • Number of Experts for Ground Truth: The reference standard (ground truth) was established by experienced pediatric ophthalmologists using binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). The exact number of these ophthalmologists is not specified.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document states, "Images were interpreted by three expert retinal specialist graders who provided a diagnosis and evaluation of image quality. Findings were compared with a reference standard of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO) by experienced pediatric ophthalmologists."

This implies that each of the three graders interpreted the images independently. There is no mention of a consensus or adjudication process among the image graders for their reported performance. Their individual performances are presented. The "ground truth" was established separately by BIO.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study with AI: The study described is not an MRMC study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance. It focuses on the diagnostic accuracy of human readers interpreting images acquired by the RetCam system compared to a clinical gold standard (BIO). The device is an imaging system, not an AI diagnostic tool.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • No Standalone Algorithm Performance: The device being evaluated is an imaging system, not an AI algorithm. The performance reported is that of human experts interpreting images generated by the device. Therefore, no standalone algorithm performance was conducted.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • The ground truth used was expert clinical diagnosis by experienced pediatric ophthalmologists using binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO). This is a recognized gold standard for ROP diagnosis.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

  • The document does not describe a training set for an AI algorithm. The study is a prospective trial evaluating the diagnostic performance of human interpreters using the RetCam imaging system.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

  • As there is no mention of an AI algorithm or a training set, the establishment of ground truth for a training set is not applicable to this document.

Clinical Performance Data:

Chiang, et. al. (Telemedical Retinopathy of Prematurity Diagnosis Accuracy and, Reliability, and Image Quality; Archives of Ophthalmology; 2007;125(11):1531-1538) reported the results of a prospective trial to measure the accuracy, reliability, and image quality of RetCam wide-field digital images to screen for ROP. Eyes from 67 consecutive infants underwent RetCam wide-field digital retinal imaging by trained neonatal nurses using a standard protocol of 3 images per eye and the 130 degree lens. The infants were 31 to 33 weeks and/or 35 to 37 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA).

Images were interpreted by three expert retinal specialist graders who provided a diagnosis and evaluation of image quality. Findings were compared with a reference standard of binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO) by experienced pediatric ophthalmologists. The target condition (referral warranted disease-the presence of Type 2 pre-threshold or worse ROP) in this study that supports the use of RetCam as an ROP screening tool is Type 2 Pre-threshold ROP (Zone 1, Stage 1 or 2, without plus disease, or Zone 2, Stage 3, without plus disease) or treatment requiring ROP (Zone 1, any stage, with Plus disease; Zone 1, stage 3 without plus disease; or Zone 2, stage 2 or 3 with Plus disease) or threshold ROP (at least 5 contiguous or 8 non-contiguous clock hours of stage 3 in zone 1 or 2, with plus disease) at 35-37 weeks PMA.

Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows a hand-drawn oval shape with the text "K102859" written inside. The text appears to be handwritten and slightly uneven. The oval shape is also not perfectly symmetrical, giving the image a casual, hand-drawn appearance.

Image Quality

Before providing a diagnosis for each image set, the 3 retinal specialist graders assessed the technical quality of the images for "adequate", "possibly adequate" or "inadequate". Each of them found that images taken at 35-37 weeks PMA by trained NICU nurses were technically "adequate" or "possibly adequate" at a rate of 93.3% to 100%.

Animal Studies

Image results were obtained using an approved LyChron non-clinical study protocol. The stated purpose of the protocol was to provide a controlled image comparison of both the Xenon and LED FA light sources in the same animal model. The images obtained with the LED FA light source are substantially equivalent in contrast and detail to images obtained using the Xenon FA module.

Bench Testing

IEC 60601-1 electrical safety testing, IEC 60601-1-2 EMC testing, and maximum light irradiance testing were conducted in accordance with established protocols. All testing demonstrated compliance with necessary electrical, EMC, and light safety requirements.

Conclusion

There are slight differences between the Xenon and LED generated light sources worth noting;

  • FA light source Light output at the handpiece is in the same wavelength. . Though the values not are identical they have no adverse safety impact.
  • FA Light Irradiance Irradiance levels also not identical but both Xenon and the . new LED light source meet ACIGH TLV specifications and have no adverse safety impact.
  • FA Module software The LED FA light source has added software controls to . hardware controls whereas the Xenon based light source required no software. Accordingly, all appropriate V&V activities are complete. Safety has been demonstrated as not adversely impacted.

The Clinical Performance data note above was gathered using the RetCam II Ophthalmic Imaging System and supports the Indication for Use for both the RetCam II Ophthalmic Imaging System and the RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System as cleared in K090326.
