No
The summary describes image analysis and automatic functions but does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or deep learning. The analysis methods described appear to be based on traditional image processing techniques.
No.
The device is a diagnostic tool used for examination and measurement of the cornea, not for treatment. Its intended use is to provide information for diagnosis and monitoring, such as in postoperative follow-up or for observing corneal conditions, rather than directly treating a condition.
Yes.
Explanation: The device is intended for "examination of the corneal endothelium and for measurement of the thickness of the cornea," and the "captured images and analysis results of the endothelium are used in intraocular or corneal surgery, postoperative follow-up, and corneal observation such as for endothelial disorders or the corneal state of patients who wear extended-wear contact lenses," indicating its use in diagnosing or monitoring medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "non-contact ophthalmic microscope, optical pachymeter, and camera," indicating it includes hardware components for image capture and measurement, not just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "examination of the corneal endothelium and for measurement of the thickness of the cornea." This is a direct examination of a living tissue within the body (in vivo), not the analysis of samples taken from the body (in vitro).
- Device Description: The description reinforces the in vivo nature of the device, describing it as a "non-contact ophthalmic microscope" and "optical pachymeter." It captures images of the corneal endothelium directly.
- Lack of Sample Analysis: The description focuses on capturing images and analyzing them directly from the patient's eye. There is no mention of collecting samples (like blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc.) and analyzing them outside the body.
- Anatomical Site: The specified anatomical sites are the "Corneal endothelium" and "cornea," which are parts of the eye.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device operates directly on the patient's eye.

Device Description
The Nidek Specular Microscope CEM-530 provides non-contact, high magnification image capture of the endothelium enabling observation of the size and shape of cells. Information such as the number of endothelial cells, cell density, and cell area is analyzed through the captured images. The captured images and analysis results of the endothelium are used in intraocular or corneal surgery, postoperative follow-up, and corneal observation such as for endothelial disorders or the corneal state of patients who wear extended-wear contact lenses. Observation is possible in the central area (visual angle: 5°) and peripheral area (visual angle: 27°) using a periphery capture function as well as in the center of the captured images and analysis results can be printed on the built-in printer or optional video printer, or output to an external device over LAN connection. In addition to the specular microscopy, the corneal thickness can be optically measured in a non-contact method. The CEM-530 has auto-tracking and auto-shooting functions. Results can be printed using the built-in thermal printer or captured images can be transferred to a filing system via LAN connection. The Specular Microscope CEM-530 cleared in this 510(k) is identical to the Specular Microscope CEM-530 cleared in K130565 with the addition of a new analysis mode: Center Point Method. All other aspects of the cleared device remain unchanged.

A prospective clinical study was conducted to assess the agreement, accuracy and precision of the Specular Microscope CEM-530 Center Point Method by comparing results across three machines/operators to those obtained with the predicate device, the Cellchek Plus. Three populations were studied: young (18-28 years of age) and adult (29-80 years of age) healthy subjects and pathologic adult eyes (29-80 years of age).
There were 79 subjects enrolled in the study: 28 in the non-pathologic young eye population, 28 in the non-pathologic adult eye population, and 23 in the pathologic adult eye population. Of those, 74 are included in the effectiveness population (28, 27, and 19, respectively). The agreement population consisted of all 74 subjects (28, 27 and 19, respectively). The precision population included a subset of the effectiveness population, 47 total with 15, 16 and 16 respectively. The pathologic adult subjects consisted of 19 subjects with the following pathologies which qualified them for the subgroup: Guttata (16, 84.2%) and Long Term Fuch's Dystrophy (3, 15.8%). The mean (SD) age of the non-pathologic young population was 22.2 (3.28) years; that of the non-pathologic adult population was 53.0 (13.42) years, and that of the pathologic adult population was 63.9 (12.39) years. All subjects combined had a mean age of 44.1 (20.54) years. The gender distribution of the total population was 27 males (36.5%) and 47 females (63.5%). The gender distribution of the non-pathologic young population was 15 males (53.6%) and 13 females (46.4%); that of the non-pathologic adult population was 8 males (29.6%) and 19 females (70.4%), and that of the pathologic adult population was 4 males (21.1%) and 15 females (78.9%). The majority of subjects were white (66/74 subjects, 89.2%). All of the pathologic adult subjects were white (19/19). The non-pathologic adult were white (21/27), American Indian (1/27), Asian (1/27), African American (1/27) and other (3/27). The nonpathologic young subjects were white (26/28) and other (2/28). With regard to iris color, the highest percentage of subjects had study eyes with brown irides (43.2%), followed by blue irides (28.4%), green irides (6.8%), black irides (1.4%) and gray irides (1.4%).

INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Nidek Specular Microscope CEM-530 is a non-contact ophthalmic microscope, optical pachymeter, and camera intended for examination of the corneal endothelium and for measurement of the thickness of the cornea.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Nidek Specular Microscope CEM-530 provides non-contact, high magnification image capture of the endothelium enabling observation of the size and shape of cells. Information such as the number of endothelial cells, cell density, and cell area is analyzed through the captured images. The captured images and analysis results of the endothelium are used in intraocular or corneal surgery, postoperative follow-up, and corneal observation such as for endothelial disorders or the corneal state of patients who wear extended-wear contact lenses. Observation is possible in the central area (visual angle: 5°) and peripheral area (visual angle: 27°) using a periphery capture function as well as in the center of the captured images and analysis results can be printed on the built-in printer or optional video printer, or output to an external device over LAN connection. In addition to the specular microscopy, the corneal thickness can be optically measured in a non-contact method. The CEM-530 has auto-tracking and auto-shooting functions. Results can be printed using the built-in thermal printer or captured images can be transferred to a filing system via LAN connection. The Specular Microscope CEM-530 cleared in this 510(k) is identical to the Specular Microscope CEM-530 cleared in K130565 with the addition of a new analysis mode: Center Point Method. All other aspects of the cleared device remain unchanged.
SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Specular Microscope CEM-530 and the predicate devices are all non-contact ophthalmic microscopes, optical pachymeters, and cameras intended for examination of the corneal endothelium and for measurement of the thickness of the cornea. Both the Specular Microscope CEM-530 and the predicate device offer automatic capture features and manual capture modes. The Specular Microscope CEM-530 which is the subject of this 510(k) has identical technological characteristics to the Specular Microscope CEM-530 which was cleared in K130565. The only difference is the addition of Center Point Method. With Center Point method, the operator touches the center of a cell on the endothelial image with the touch screen pen. A dot is displayed on the endothelial image. Shapes are surrounded by the vertical lines to the lines made by connecting each dot and is recognized as a cell. Connected dots are top of cells and vertical lines are cell walls. Therefore, this discussion will focus primarily on the substantial equivalence to the Konan Cellchek Plus cleared in K120264.
Both the CEM-530 and the Konan Cellchek Plus have a built-in CCD camera. Both the CEM-530 and the Konan Cellchek Plus include an optical pachymeter with an accuracy of ± 10 microns. There were no modifications made to the optical pachymeter in the Specular Microscope CEM-530 compared with the device cleared in K130565.
5
Regarding image analysis, both the CEM-530 and the predicate device offer automatic image analysis. The CEM-530, which is the subject of this 510(k), also offers manual analysis of images, as does the Konan predicate device. Clinical performance data is provided which evaluates the precision and agreement of the manual measurements performed by the CEM-530 compared to manual measurements performed with the Konan predicate device. The clinical performance data demonstrates the substantial equivalence of the CEM-530 manual mode to the Konan predicate device's manual mode.
Both the CEM-530 and the predicate device comply with applicable electrical safety and light safety standards.
Therefore, in regards to technological characteristics, the Specular Microscope CEM-530 is similar to the Konan but there are some minor differences between the devices which have been evaluated with non-clinical and clinical performance data. The differences are shown in Table 1.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
The performance testing conducted using the NIDEK Specular Microscope CEM-530 verified that the device operates as intended. The specifications to which the CEM-530 was verified to are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and therefore, support a determination of substantial equivalence. The pachymetry functionality was evaluated in model eyes and the measurement accuracy of + 10 microns was confirmed.
Additionally, the CEM-530 was subjected to electrical safety testing in accordance with IEC 60601-1, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing in accordance with IEC 60601-1-2, and optical radiation safety testing in accordance with ISO 15004-1 and ISO 15004-2.

CLINICAL PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
A prospective clinical study was conducted to assess the agreement, accuracy and precision of the Specular Microscope CEM-530 Center Point Method by comparing results across three machines/operators to those obtained with the predicate device, the Cellchek Plus. Three populations were studied: young (18-28 years of age) and adult (29-80 years of age) healthy subjects and pathologic adult eyes (29-80 years of age).
There were 79 subjects enrolled in the study: 28 in the non-pathologic young eye population, 28 in the non-pathologic adult eye population, and 23 in the pathologic adult eye population. Of those, 74 are included in the effectiveness population (28, 27, and 19, respectively). The agreement population consisted of all 74 subjects (28, 27 and 19, respectively). The precision population included a subset of the effectiveness population, 47 total with 15, 16 and 16 respectively. The pathologic adult subjects consisted of 19 subjects with the following pathologies which qualified them for the subgroup: Guttata (16, 84.2%) and Long Term Fuch's Dystrophy (3, 15.8%). The mean (SD) age of the non-pathologic young population was 22.2 (3.28) years; that of the non-pathologic adult population was 53.0 (13.42) years, and that of the pathologic adult population was 63.9 (12.39) years. All subjects combined had a mean age of 44.1 (20.54) years. The gender distribution of the total population was 27 males (36.5%) and 47 females (63.5%). The gender distribution of the non-pathologic young population was 15 males (53.6%) and 13 females (46.4%); that of the non-pathologic adult population was 8 males (29.6%) and 19 females (70.4%), and that of the pathologic adult population was 4 males (21.1%) and 15 females (78.9%). The majority of subjects were white (66/74 subjects, 89.2%). All of the pathologic adult subjects were white (19/19). The non-pathologic adult were white (21/27), American Indian (1/27), Asian (1/27), African American (1/27) and other (3/27). The nonpathologic young subjects were white (26/28) and other (2/28). With regard to iris color, the highest percentage of subjects had study eyes with brown irides (43.2%), followed by blue irides (28.4%), green irides (6.8%), black irides (1.4%) and gray irides (1.4%).
The result of Agreement study
Table 2 provides a summary of the agreement data for all subjects with the Center Point Method while Tables 3, 4 and 5 provide the same data by subgroup (non-pathologic young eyes, nonpathologic adult eyes, pathologic adult eyes, respectively).

Table 6 provides a summary of the precision data for all subjects with the Center Point Method while Tables 7, 8 and 9 provide the same data by subgroup (non-pathologic young eyes, nonpathologic adult eyes, pathologic adult eyes, respectively). Data from a previous Nidek study, CEM-530-US-001, was used as the comparative data with respect to the Konan Cell Chek Plus results for the precision analysis detailed below. In the evaluation of the suitability of using the historical data it was found that the sample size, age, gender, ethnicity/race, iris color and clinical diagnosis of the pathologic sub group were all similar to allow the usage of the data.

Overall, within eye/subject variability was acceptable, and similar for both machines. The precision of the two devices was assessed with repeatability and reproducibility measures: the first within a given subject and the second within and among configurations. With regard to overall precision, using the Center Point Method, the largest component of variation was the subject to subject variation. The CEM-530 machine was less variable than the Cellchek Plus machine for endothelial cell density and % Hexagonality. The CEM-530 was also less variable than the Cellchek Plus machine for the coefficient of variation.
In summary, the agreement and precision of the Specular Microscope CEM-530 Center Point Method were found to be substantially equivalent to the Konan CellChek Plus center method.
CONCLUSIONS
The Nidek Specular Microscope CEM-530 has the same intended use and indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared predicate. The minor differences between the subject device and the predicate device have been assessed in a human clinical trial which found agreement, accuracy and precision between the two devices. Therefore, the Nidek Specular Microscope CEM-530 is as safe and effective as its predicate device, and thus, substantially equivalent.
