Intended Use

The SPECTRALIS is a non-contact ophthalmic diagnostic imaging device. It is intended for viewing the posterior segment of the eye, including two- and three-dimensional imaging (SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and SPECTRALIS OCT), fundus photography, fluorescence imaging (fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography; SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT, SPECTRALIS HRA), autofluorescence imaging (SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT, SPECTRALIS HRA and SPECTRALIS OCT BluePeak) and to perform measurements of ocular anatomy and ocular lesions. The device is indicated as an aid in the detection and management of various ocular diseases, including agerelated macular degeneration, macular edema, diabetic retinal and choroidal vascular diseases, glaucoma, and for viewing geographic atrophy as well as changes in the eye that result from neurodegenerative diseases. The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and SPECTRALIS OCT include normative databases for retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic nerve head neuroretinal paraments, which are used to quantitatively compare the retinal nerve fiber layer and neuroretinal rim in the human retina to values found in normal subjects.

Device Description

The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT is a real-time imaging system of anterior and posterior segments of the human eye and for aiding in the assessment and management of various diseases of the posterior segment, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

The device is a combination of optical coherence tomography (OCT) with confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO). OCT imaging includes high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of ocular structures (e.g., retina, macula, optic nerve head); cSLO imaging includes high-resolution and dynamic infrared reflectance, blue reflectance, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and autofluorescence imaging. OCT images and cSLO images are acquired simultaneously and are viewed side-by-side on the computer screen. Images are acquired and stored using SPECTRALIS operation software, which runs on a standard personal computer. SPECTRALIS components include a laser scanning camera mount with headrest, operation panel, power supply box, operation software, and host computer. A MultiColor option is included to provide additional green reflectance imaging and a "composite color" image, which provides a different view of the features of the eye. This composite color image is not the same as fundus color photo. This submission includes Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI) as an optional viewing mode that allows for better visualization of deep eye structures below the retina.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document describes the SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT device and its updated version, focusing on software version 6.0. The acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them are primarily related to the precision and agreement of measurements of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and optic nerve head (ONH) neuroretinal rim width (BMO-MRW). The document establishes "within specified range" and "small and within expected ranges and below predefined thresholds" as acceptance criteria for precision and agreement, respectively.

Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The acceptance criteria are generally qualitative ("within the specified range," "small and within expected ranges and below predefined thresholds") rather than specific numerical thresholds presented in a table format. However, the study results, presented as coefficients of variation (CV) for precision and limits of agreement (LOA) for agreement, demonstrate that the device achieved these general criteria.

MetricAcceptance Criteria (General)Reported Device Performance (CV)Reported Device Performance (LOA)
Precision (Repeatability & Reproducibility CV)"within the specified range for this device"BMO-MRW: Mean CV: 1.24% - 2.92% (for RNFL thickness)Max CV: 2.43% - 5.63% (for RNFL thickness)N/A (LOA is for agreement, not precision)
Agreement (RNFLT 3.5mm circle vs. 12° circle scans)"All differences…are overall small and within expected ranges and below predefined thresholds."N/A (CV is for precision)Normal Subjects:Mean Diff [µm]: -2.6 to 9.3LOA (low/up) [µm]: -21.2 to 32.6Glaucoma Subjects:Mean Diff [µm]: -0.2 to 10.0LOA (low/up) [µm]: -18.9 to 37.2

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

  • Precision Study (Test Set):

    • Sample Size: 34 subjects enrolled, data from 32 subjects included in analysis (16 healthy eyes, 16 glaucomatous eyes), 16 left and 16 right eyes.
    • Data Provenance: Monocentric, prospective study. The specific country is not explicitly stated but the manufacturer is Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, suggesting Germany.
  • Agreement Study (Test Set):

    • Sample Size: 48 subjects enrolled, data from 40 subjects included in analysis (20 healthy eyes, 20 glaucomatous eyes), 20 left and 20 right eyes.
    • Data Provenance: Monocentric, prospective study. The specific country is not explicitly stated but the manufacturer is Heidelberg Engineering GmbH, suggesting Germany.

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

  • Precision Study: "Three qualified individuals, each operating one of three Spectralis devices equipped with the study software, performed the study device measurements." These could be the "experts" performing the measurements that form the basis of the precision analysis. Also, "All acquired images were inspected by three experienced physicians for image quality... and layer segmentation."

    • Number of Experts: 3 (for both operators and image inspection)
    • Qualifications: "Qualified individuals" for device operation; "experienced physicians" for image quality inspection. Specific years of experience or specialization (e.g., radiologist) are not provided.
  • Agreement Study: "All acquired images were inspected by the investigator for image quality... and layer segmentation."

    • Number of Experts: 1 (the investigator).
    • Qualifications: "Investigator" who inspected for image quality. Specific qualifications are not provided.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

The document does not explicitly describe a formal adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) for establishing ground truth diagnoses for the test sets in either the precision or agreement studies. The "ground truth" for these studies is the measurement values themselves and their statistical consistency, rather than a diagnostic label. For image quality and layer segmentation, images were inspected by experts, but no multi-reader adjudication process is detailed beyond inspection.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, and the Effect Size of Human Readers Improve with AI vs. Without AI Assistance

No MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance is described in the provided text. The studies focus on the precision and agreement of the device's measurements compared to a predicate device and within itself.

6. If a Standalone Study (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done

The device is an imaging system (OCT/cSLO) that performs measurements. The precision and agreement studies evaluate the measurement capabilities of the device (software version 6.0 with APS) in performing these measurements. These studies are essentially standalone evaluations of the device's measurement accuracy and consistency, as the "algorithm" here refers to the device's ability to acquire and process images to produce measurements. While operators ("qualified individuals") are involved in acquiring the images, the evaluation is of the device's output (measurements and their consistency), which is driven by its internal algorithms for processing. Therefore, the precision and agreement studies can be considered standalone performance assessments of the device's measurement functions.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

  • Precision and Agreement Studies: The "ground truth" here is the measurement values themselves. These studies assess the device's ability to consistently reproduce measurements (precision) and agree with measurements obtained by a previous method/device (agreement). The reference ranges for "normal" are derived from large normative databases (see point 9).

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

The document refers to "reference databases" which serve a similar purpose to a training set for normative comparisons.

  • RNFL Thickness Reference Database: 330 eyes of 330 normal subjects.
  • BMO-MRW Reference Database: 368 eyes of 368 normal subjects.

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

The "ground truth" for the reference databases (training sets) was established by rigorously selecting "normal subjects" based on strict inclusion/exclusion criteria in prospective, multi-center, observational studies.

  • Inclusion Criteria for Normal Subjects (RNFLT and BMO-MRW Databases):
    • Healthy eyes without prior intraocular surgery (except cataract surgery or Lasik).
    • No clinically significant vitreal, retinal, or choroidal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, or disease of the optic nerve.
    • No history of glaucoma.
    • Intraocular pressure ≤21 mmHg.
    • Best corrected visual acuity ≥0.5.
    • Refraction between +6 and -6 diopters, astigmatism ≤2 diopters.
    • Normal visual field with Glaucoma Hemifield Test and Mean Deviation within normal limits.
    • Clinically normal appearance of optic disc with normal appearing neuroretinal rim with respect to color and shape.

These criteria, applied by clinical investigators, define what constitutes a "normal" ground truth for the purpose of creating the normative databases.

IV. Device Description

The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT is a real-time imaging system of anterior and posterior segments of the human eye and for aiding in the assessment and management of various diseases of the posterior segment, such as age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

The device is a combination of optical coherence tomography (OCT) with confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (cSLO). OCT imaging includes high-resolution cross-sectional imaging of ocular structures (e.g., retina, macula, optic nerve head); cSLO imaging includes high-resolution and dynamic infrared reflectance, blue reflectance, fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography, and autofluorescence imaging.

V. Intended Use/Indications for Use

The SPECTRALIS is a non-contact ophthalmic diagnostic imaging device. It is intended for viewing the posterior segment of the eye, including two- and three-dimensional imaging, crosssectional imaging (SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and SPECTRALIS OCT), fundus photography,

{4}------------------------------------------------

fluorescence imaging (fluorescein angiography, indocyanine green angiography; SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT, SPECTRALIS HRA), autofluorescence imaging (SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT, SPECTRALIS HRA and SPECTRALIS OCT with BluePeak) and to perform measurements of ocular anatomy and ocular lesions. The device is indicated as an aid in the detection and management of various ocular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, macular edema, diabetic retinopathy, retinal and choroidal vascular diseases, glaucoma, and for viewing geographic atrophy as well as changes in the eye that result from neurodegenerative diseases. The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and SPECTRALIS OCT include reference databases for retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and optic nerve head neuroretinal rim parameter measurements, which are used to quantitatively compare the retinal nerve fiber layer and neuroretinal rim in the human retina to values found in normal subjects.

VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device

The basic technological characteristics of the SPECTRALIS predicate, with software version 5.6, and the new device, with software version 6.0, remain the same. The new device has been updated in the following ways:

  • . The new device includes a new reference database that includes optic nerve head (ONH) neuroretinal rim width measurements for the parameter BMO-MRW in addition to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness.
  • . The method for locating the fovea and the optic disc center (FoDi) were modified to result in a more accurate definition of both locations with the revised imaging software. The FoDi method is based on an IR image of the fundus, the new, more accurate definition is called Anatomic Positioning System (APS) and is based on OCT images of the fundus. It uses the fovea and the BMO center as landmarks and aligns the image axis on the fovea-BMO center axis.
  • . A new scan pattern called ONH-RC, which includes RNFL thickness measurements with three fixed diameter circles of 3.5, 4.1 and 4.7 mm diameter and 48 radial scans around the BMO center. The ONH-RC scan pattern measures the parameter BMO-MRW (BMO minimum rim width) with an image orientation based on APS information
  • . An additional imaging function. Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI), is added to enhance viewing the deep structures of the eve. EDI is available for standard OCT preset scan pattern only. It allows for standard segmentation of ILM and RNFL and retinal thickness measurement. Reference data are not available for EDI scans.
  • . Two optional accessory lenses have been added to allow the user conveniently to view a greater proportion of the posterior eye in one view: the Wide Field Objective and the Ultra-Widefield Objective. Both objectives are used for SLO imaging only.

The differences between the predicate device and the subject device are shown in Table 1.

These differences were verified with clinical and bench testing and software verification and validation.

The standard hardware has not been modified compared to the predicate.

VII. Performance Data

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)

The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT has been tested according to IEC 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 and was found to meet all requirements.

Laser Safetv

The system is a laser product of Class 1 according to 21 CFR §1040.10 and complies with IEC 60825-1.

Software Verification and Validation Testing

Software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since a malfunction of or latent design flaw in the software could lead to an erroneous diagnosis or a delay in delivery of appropriate medical care that would lead to minor injury.

A study in normal and glaucomatous human volunteers was conducted to assess precision and agreement of ONH neuroretinal rim parameter and RNFL thickness measurements. The coefficients of variation and the ANOVA analysis for the measured endpoints were within the specified range for this device.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Clinical Studies

RNFL Thickness Reference Database

The RNFLT reference database includes 330 eyes (167 right eyes and 163 left eyes) of 330 normal subjects (146 male and 184 female) with mean age of 49.7 years (range 20 to 90 years) and of various racial and ethnic origins (non-Hispanic White: 218; Hispanic White: 45; Black or African American: 41; Asian: 23; American Indian / Alaska Native: 3). The racial and ethnic composition of the reference database is representative for the U.S. population. Subjects were enrolled in a prospective, multi-center, observational study. Included subjects had healthy eyes without prior intraocular surgery (except cataract surgery or Lasik) and without clinically significant vitreal, retinal or choroidal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, or disease of the optic nerve, no history of glaucoma, intraocular pressure ≤21 mmHg, best corrected visual acuity ≥0.5, refraction between +6 and -6 diopters, astigmatism ≤2 diopters, normal visual field with Glaucoma Hemifield Test and Mean Deviation within normal limits, clinically normal appearance of optic disc with normal appearing neuroretinal rim with respect to color and shape.

RNFLT reference data was acquired and analyzed relative to the fovea-to-BMO-center axis, to ensure accurate and consistent positioning of the circle scans across eyes.

The first and fifth percentile reference limits for RNFLT were computed and age- and BMO areaadjusted, and used for comparison with the retinal nerve fiber layer thickness from an individual

The RNFLT reference database includes reference data for RNFL thickness along peri-papillary circle scans with 3.5 mm, 4.1 mm, and 4.7 mm diameter.

The reference database is limited by its sample size (330 subjects), the covered age range (20 to 90 years), the covered range of optic disc size (BMO area 1.0 to 3.4 mm+; 15 cases with BMO area >2.5 mm2), and the covered range of refraction (+6 to -6 diopters).

RNFL thickness in normal subjects decreases slightly with increasing age and with decreasing BMO area. To take this into account the reference database is age-adjusted and BMO areaadjusted based on multiple linear regression. As a result, the percentiles of the normal distribution used for the classification depend on the patient's age and the eye's BMO area.

Mean age and mean BMO area in the reference database are as follows:

  • Mean age = 49.70 years -
  • -Mean BMO area = 1.828 mm2

As an example for the effect of age and BMO area, the following Table 2 and Table 3 show the values of the 1st and the 5th percentiles of the average RNFLT (3.5 mm diameter circle) global and in the standard sectors, for a 45 years old subject with a large BMO area (2.5 mm2), and for a 65 years old subject with a small BMO area (1.5 mm2).

BMO-MRW Reference Database

The BMO-MRW reference database includes 368 eyes (182 right eyes and 186 left eyes) of 368 normal subjects (165 male and 203 female) with mean age of 50.3 years (range 20 to 90 years) and of various racial and ethnic origins (non-Hispanic White: 246; Hispanic White: 47; Black or African American: 47; Asian: 25; American Indian / Alaska Native: 3). The racial and ethnic composition of the reference database is representative for the U.S. population. Subjects were enrolled in a prospective, multicenter, observational study. Included subjects had healthy eyes without prior intraocular surgery (except cataract surgery or Lasik) and without clinically significant vitreal, retinal or choroidal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, or disease of the optic nerve, no history of glaucoma, intraocular pressure ≤21 mmHg, best corrected visual acuity ≥0.5, refraction between +6 and -6 diopters, astigmatism ≤2 diopters, normal visual field with Glaucoma Hemifield Test and Mean Deviation within normal limits, clinically normal appearance of optic disc with normal appearing neuroretinal rim with respect to color and shape.

BMO-MRW reference data was acquired and analyzed relative to the fovea-to-BMO-center axis, to ensure accurate and consistent positioning of the BMO-MRW profiles across eyes. The first and fifth percentile reference limits for BMO-MRW were computed and age- and BMO areaadjusted, and used for comparison with the BMO minimum rim width from an individual

The reference database is limited by its sample size (368 eyes of 368 subjects), the covered age range (20 to 90 years), the covered range of optic disc size (BMO area 1.0 to 3.4 mm²; 19 cases with BMO area >2.5 mm2), and the covered range of refraction (+6 to -6 diopters).

BMO-MRW decreases with increasing age and with increasing BMO area. To take this into account, the reference database is adjusted for age and BMO area in a multiple linear regression

{8}------------------------------------------------

model. As a result, the percentiles of the normal distribution used for the classification depend on the patient's age and the eye's BMO area.

As an example for the effect of age and BMO area, the following Table 4 and Table 5 show the values of the 1st and the 5th percentiles of BMO-MRW for the global averages in the standard sectors, for a 45 years old subject with a small BMO area (1.5 mm²), and for a 65 years old subject with a large BMO (2.5 mm2).

RNFLT and BMO-MRW measurement precision for use of the ONH-RC scan pattern In a prospective, monocentric study the clinical precision of BMO-MRW and RNFLT measurements have been determined for use of the ONH-RC scan pattern.

34 subjects were enrolled into the study. Data of 32 subjects was included in analysis. 16 subjects had healthy eyes (healthy eyes without prior intraocular surgery except cataract surgery or laser in-situ keratomileusis, and without clinically significant vitreal, retinal or choroidal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, or disease of the optic nerve).

16 subjects had different stages of glaucomatous eyes (visual field mean deviation ranging from -0.5 to -25.8). All subjects' manifest spherical equivalent was between +6D and -6D, with astigmatism < 2.0D.

Three qualified individuals, each operating one of three Spectralis devices equipped with the study software, performed the study device measurements. Each patient was measured thrice at each device in baseline and thrice in follow-up mode. Outcome metrics were repeatability and reproducibility of measurements of structural parameters of the optic nerve head (in particular, the neuroretinal rim of the ONH), and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer. Additionally each patient was measured once (12° circle and BMO-MRW) with manually defined landmarks

{9}------------------------------------------------

(SPECTRALIS 5.6) to evaluate differences in results according to the different landmark positioning procedures.

In summary:

  • 16 left and 16 right eyes were included.
  • . Average age of subjects was 57.7 years, ranging from 23 to 80 years.
  • . 50% of subjects were female, 50% male.
  • Average refraction was -0.2 D (range -6.0 D to +4.75 D).

All acquired images were inspected by three experienced physicians for image quality (image quality index, missing scans, truncated scans, image defocus, floaters, pathologies and layer segmentation).

Manual correction of the fovea position was necessary in 11 of 288 APS definition activities (32 subjects x 9 definitions, 3 operators x 3 repeats). One subject had no distinguishable foveal pit and needed manual placement in 7 out of 9 definitions. The remaining 4 corrections are equally distributed between the healthy and glaucoma groups.

Manual correction of the BMO position was necessary in 51 of 288 APS definitions.

An overview over all corrections is shown in Table 6.

GroupFovea APS – manualcorrectionBMO APS – manualcorrection
Healthy2 of 144 (1.4%)22 of 144 (15.3%)
Glaucoma9 of 144 (6.3%)29 of 144 (20.1%)
All11 of 288 (3.8%)51 of 288 (17.7%)

TABLE 6: MANUAL CORRECTIONS OF FOVEA AND BMO POSITION DURING PRECISION DATA EVALUATION

Typical causes of manual corrections of the BMO position are small discs, myopic eves, tilted discs with external oblique border tissue, and other irregular BMO structures.

A random effect ANOVA with the effects operator (confounded with device) and eye were used for the analysis:

Yijk = Bo + B1eye + B2device + B3deviceeye + ejik

where Yijk stands for the repeated measurements, Bo is the intercept and Bi ~ N ( 0, o ) for i E {1, 2, 3} E {1, 2, 3}. and em iid gaussian variables for the remaining variability. The variability of each component were estimated

The following Table 7 and Table 8 contain summary data of the analysis. For each endpoint and separate for the baseline and follow-up mode, the mean and the maximum of the repeatability and reproducibility coefficient of variation (CV) are tabulated.

RNFLT and BMO-MRW measurement agreement with the predicate device

In a prospective, monocentric study the measurement agreement between BMO-MRW and RNFLT measurements with an OCT based landmark definition process and RNFLT measurements with an infrared image based landmark definition process has been determined. 48 subjects were enrolled into the study. Data of 40 subjects were included in analysis.

20 subjects had healthy eyes (healthy eves without prior intraocular surgery except cataract surgery or laser in-situ keratomileusis, and without clinically significant vitreal, retinal or choroidal diseases, diabetic retinopathy, or disease of the optic nerve).

20 subjects had different stages of glaucomatous eyes (visual field mean deviation ranging from -0.02 to -31.95). All subjects' manifest spherical equivalent was in between +6D and -6D, with astigmatism ≤ 2.0D.

The study aimed to evaluate the agreement of structural parameters of the optic nerve head (ONH), in particular, the neuroretinal rim of the ONH, and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer based on infrared (IR) image-based (Fovea-to-Disc-Alignment technology - FoDi) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) (Anatomic positioning System - APS) based scan alignment. All subjects were examined once with each device version and underwent further supporting diagnostics.

In summary:

  • . 20 left and 20 right eyes were included.
  • . Average age of subjects was 56.3 years, ranging from 23 to 81 years.
  • . 50% of subjects were female. 50% male.
  • . Average refraction was -0.79 D (range -5.25 D to +3.50 D).

{21}------------------------------------------------

All acquired images were inspected by the investigator for image quality (image quality index. missing scans, truncated scans, image defocus, floaters, pathologies, scan center position alignment, and layer segmentation).

To test agreement of parameters of the optic nerve head and the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer measurements acquired with the different alignment methods and circle characteristics, the following statistic are calculated

  • . The mean of the differences (measurement - predicate),
  • . the minimum and maximum difference.
  • . the standard deviation of the differences.
  • . the 95% limits of agreement (LOA)

All differences between the different RNFLT scans are overall small and within expected ranges and below predefined thresholds. Therefore results derived from the predicate software version 5.6 and the subject device software version 6.0 are considered to agree.

The following Table 27 and Table 28 show the detailed agreement data for the comparison between RNFL thickness measurements from the 3.5 mm circle scan and RNFL thickness measurements from the 12° circle scan of the predicate device (software version 5.6). The global and sector values are tabulated separate for the sub-groups (Normal and Glaucoma).

VIII. Conclusions

The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT has the same Intended Use as the predicate device. The basic technological characteristics remain the same, and the device has been updated to include a new reference database that includes optic nerve head (ONH) neuroretinal rim width measurements in addition to retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. The method for locating the fovea and the optic disc center were modified to result in a more accurate definition of both locations with the revised imaging software. An additional imaging function, Enhanced Depth Imaging (EDI), is added to enhance viewing the deep structures of the eye. These differences do not affect safety or effectiveness, as verified with clinical and bench testing and software verification and validation. Therefore, it is concluded that the SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Two optional accessory lenses have been added to allow the user to view a greater proportion of the posterior eye in one view: the Wide Field Objective and the Ultra-Widefield Objective. These lenses are similar to two reference devices. Nidek Ophthalmoscope F-10 (K072259) and Optos 200T (K111628) and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
