The description focuses on standard signal processing and data display, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.
No
The device is used for assessment and analysis of the VOR, not for treatment or therapy.
Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the system is used in "assessment of the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) by measuring, recording, displaying, and analyzing eye and head movements," indicating its role in evaluating a physiological function for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, the "Device Description" mentions that the simultaneous display of head and eye movement data allows "the clinician to determine if the response is within normal limits or not," which is a diagnostic determination.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device is a "combination of hardware and software" and details several hardware components including goggles, a camera, a mirror, an infrared light, and a sensor.
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 description clearly states that the ICS Impulse System measures, records, displays, and analyzes eye and head movements directly from the patient. It does not involve the analysis of biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.
- The intended use is the assessment of the vestibular-ocular reflex (VOR) by measuring physical movements. This is a physiological assessment, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The device is a diagnostic tool, but it falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices as it interacts directly with the patient's body to gather data.

Device Description
The device is a combination of hardware and software. The patient wears a pair of lightweight, tightly-fitting goggles on which is mounted a very small, very light, very fast, fire-wire video camera and a half silvered mirror. This transparent mirror reflects the image of the patient's eye into the camera. The eye is illuminated by a low-level infra-red light emitting diode which is not visible to the patients. A small sensor on the goggles measures the head movement. The whole goggle system is lightweight but it must be secured tightly to the head to minimize goggle slippage. The software records and displays the information obtained during what is known as a "head impulse test" The basic head impulse test starts with the tester standing behind the patient who is wearing the goggles. While the patient is asked to stare at the fixation dot placed on a projection surface in front of them, the tester rotates the patient's head horizontally through a small angle (about 10-20 degrees) in a brief, abrupt and unpredictable manner, varying the direction and the velocity. The goggles collect both head and eye data. The gyroscope measures the velocity of the head movement (the stimulus). The high-speed camera captures the image of the eve. The OTOsuite Vestibular software processes the head velocity data and velocity data for eye movement (the response). Simultaneous displays of the data for head movement and for eye movement allow the clinician to determine if the response is within normal limits or not.
