Intended Use
Electrophysiological Test Unit for quantifying the response to visual stimulation by measuring the Visual Evoked Potential.
Device Description
The Visionsearch1 System consists of specialist software and the supporting computer and peripherals. The System displays multifocal visual patterns to evoke response in the retina which are transmitted to the visual cortex. The System then detects responses in the visual cortex using specific, validated third party EEG electrodes and biological amplifier. After analyzing the EEG, the System displays the electrical response from each segment of the retina. It also allows the user to compare the response time between eyes and compare an individual's measurements to those from a set of data that the user has compiled as reference.
More Information

No
The description focuses on standard signal processing and comparison to a reference dataset, with no mention of AI/ML terms or techniques.

No.
The device is used for quantifying the response to visual stimulation by measuring the Visual Evoked Potential and displaying electrical responses, which indicates a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.

Yes
The device is described as an "Electrophysiological Test Unit" that measures "Visual Evoked Potential" and displays the "electrical response from each segment of the retina." It also allows comparison of response times and individual measurements to a reference set, all of which are functions associated with diagnostic testing to assess physiological function.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of "specialist software and the supporting computer and peripherals" and utilizes "specific, validated third party EEG electrodes and biological amplifier." This indicates the system includes hardware components beyond just software.

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 this system measures the electrophysiological response to visual stimulation by detecting electrical signals (Visual Evoked Potentials) from the visual cortex using EEG electrodes. This is a measurement of a physiological response within the living body, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.
  • The device interacts directly with the patient. It displays visual patterns to the patient and uses electrodes placed on the patient's head to detect signals. IVDs typically involve analyzing samples in a laboratory setting.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a medical device that performs a physiological measurement, but it is not an IVD.
