The moorLDI2 Laser Doppler Imager is intended for blood flow measurements in the microcirculation. It is intended to be used for clinical research applications and pre-clinical research applications.
Device Description
The moorLDI2 is a device to perform non-invasive blood flow measurements in the microcirculation, for example skin, using the established laser Doppler technique to quantify movement of blood cells beneath the skin surface. The system scans a very low power laser beam across the tissue. Moving blood in the microvasculature causes a Doppler frequency shift of the laser light, which is photo detected and processed to generate a colour coded blood flow map, line by line. An in built CCD camera records a colour photograph to aid visualisation of the scan site.

No
The description focuses on the established laser Doppler technique and signal processing to generate a blood flow map. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like training/test sets for algorithmic learning.

No
The device is intended for measuring blood flow in the microcirculation for clinical and pre-clinical research applications, not for treating a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: The device is described for "blood flow measurements" and "clinical research applications and pre-clinical research applications." While it measures a physiological parameter, its stated intended use is for research and fundamental measurement, not for making a diagnosis of a disease or condition. Diagnostic devices are typically intended to identify the presence, nature, or absence of a disease or medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "device" that performs measurements using a "laser beam" and has an "in built CCD camera," indicating it is a hardware system, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the moorLDI2 Laser Doppler Imager is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "blood flow measurements in the microcirculation" for "clinical research applications and pre-clinical research applications." This describes a device used to measure a physiological parameter in vivo (within a living organism), not to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a non-invasive technique using a laser beam to measure blood flow beneath the skin surface. This further confirms its in vivo application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to diagnose diseases, monitor conditions, or screen for health issues. The moorLDI2 does not perform these functions.

Therefore, the moorLDI2 is a medical device used for physiological measurement in vivo, not an IVD.

Device Description

The moorLDI2 is a device to perform non-invasive blood flow measurements in the microcirculation, for example skin, using the established laser Doppler technique to quantify movement of blood cells beneath the skin surface.

Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI) is a technique first established commercially in the early 1990's and as such published studies now cover numerous pre-clinical research and clinical applications.

The system scans a very low power laser beam across the tissue. Moving blood in the microvasculature causes a Doppler frequency shift of the laser light, which is photo detected and processed to generate a colour coded blood flow map, line by line. An in built CCD camera records a colour photograph to aid visualisation of the scan site.

The moorLDI2 laser Doppler imager scan head case consists of two injection moulded parts. Additionally a detachable injection moulded connector covers the external connectors in normal use. All injection moulded components are manufactured using Sika Biresin RG53 FR resin which is flame retardant to UL 94-V0. The enclosure has a cream coloured painted finish.

There are 3 moorLD12 variants based upon the same design, moorLD12-VR, moorLD12-IR and moorLDI2-HIR. The key differences are shown in Table 1. In all other respects the three instruments are essentially identical in terms of their design and construction. Where differences between the instruments are not significant, they are collectively referred to using the generic term "moorLDI2".

5.3 Description of the device

The moorLDI2 is a device to perform non-invasive blood flow measurements in the microcirculation, for example skin, using the established laser Doppler technique to quantify movement of blood cells beneath the skin surface.

Laser Doppler Imaging (LDI) is a technique first established commercially in the early 1990's and as such published studies now cover numerous pre-clinical research and clinical applications.

The system scans a very low power laser beam across the tissue. Moving blood in the microvasculature causes a Doppler frequency shift of the laser light, which is photo detected and processed to generate a colour coded blood flow map, line by line. An in built CCD camera records a colour photograph to aid visualisation of the scan site.

Image /page/4/Figure/7 description: The image shows a schematic diagram of a laser Doppler vibrometer system. The system includes a laser, shutter, photodiode, lenses, camera, scanning mirror, Doppler signal processor, and computer. The laser beam is directed through the shutter and lenses, then reflected off the scanning mirror onto the scanned area. The reflected light is collected by the lenses and photodiode, and the Doppler signal processor analyzes the signal to determine the vibration characteristics of the scanned area, which is then displayed on the computer.

5.4 Intended Use

The moorLDI2 Laser Doppler Imager is intended for blood flow measurements in the microcirculation. It is intended to be used for clinical research applications and pre-clinical research applications. The intended use remains the same as for the predicate device.

5.5 Technological comparison to predicate device

The moorLDI2 laser Doppler imager uses the same principle of operation as the predicate device. The overall optical and mechanical design is very similar to the predicate device, but the electronic control system and associated software have been completely redesigned to resolve component obsolescence problems and to reduce the manufacturing costs.

The design of the predicate device consists of a scan head and a separate control box which contains most of the electronic control systems. In the revised design most of the electronic systems are now integrated within the scan head and the only extra component is a small external mains power supply. The external design of the scan head remains unchanged, except for revised graphics on the front panel. The following picture shows the revised design on the left and the predicate device on the right.

Image /page/7/Picture/8 description: The image shows three pieces of equipment from Moor Instruments. The first piece of equipment on the left is a moorLDI2 with a black power supply box next to it. The second piece of equipment is also a moorLDI2. The third piece of equipment on the right is a moorLDI Laser Doppler Imager Control.

Although the revised design involves changes to the electronic hardware and software, it uses the same principles of operation and is intended to provide essentially the same measurement performance as the existing system. All of the major performance specifications remain unchanged.

The similarities between the systems are as follows:

  • Has the same intended use. ●
  • . Uses the same operating principle.
  • . Has the same image resolution options.

8

  • . Has the same laser classification.
  • . The scan head has the same external dimensions.

The main differences between the systems are as follows:

  • . The revised design has all electronics, with the exception of the mains power supply, located in the scan head. Therefore it no longer requires the large external control box, just a small external PSU.
  • . A visible red (633nm) laser option has been added which restricts measurement depth to superficial surface blood flow.
  • . A high resolution option has been introduced which provides increased spatial resolution for smaller measurements sites.
  • . A USB camera has replaced the Firewire camera to increase reliability and reduce the build cost of the system.

The model range has been extended to include 3 variants which differ in terms of laser wavelength and image area and resolution. The model variants are related to the predicate device as shown in Table 3.

| Model | Laser (Wavelength) | Image
Resolution | Image area | Comparison with
predicate device |
|--------------|-------------------------------|---------------------|------------|-------------------------------------|
| moorLDI2-IR | Infra-red laser diode (785nm) | Standard | Standard | Same |
| moorLDI2-HIR | Infra-red laser diode (785nm) | High | Small | New |
| noorLDI2-VR | Helium Neon gas laser (633nm) | Standard | Standard | New |

Table 3

The visible red (633nm) laser in the moorLDI2-VR system provides reduced measurement depth compared with the infrared (785nm) laser in the other two systems. The moorLDI2-HIR system is optimised to provide increased resolution for smaller measurement sites.

5.6 Performance comparison to predicate device

The moorLD12 laser Doppler imager was tested in direct comparison to the predicate device using laboratory models and skin blood flow measurements on volunteers.

5.7 Conclusions

The moorLDI2 laser Doppler imager demonstrated that the device is as safe, as effective and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.
