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.

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.

AI/ML Overview

The Moor Instruments Ltd moorLDI2 Laser Doppler Imager is a device intended for blood flow measurements in the microcirculation for clinical and pre-clinical research applications. The 510(k) summary provides information regarding its performance and comparison to a predicate device (moorLDI2-IR laser Doppler imager, K032841).

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

The document doesn't explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a pass/fail sense for a clinical study comparing the new device against specific benchmarks. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate device. The performance characteristics of the device itself are given.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:

The document states: "The moorLDI2 laser Doppler imager was tested in direct comparison to the predicate device using laboratory models and skin blood flow measurements on volunteers."

  • Sample Size: Not explicitly provided. The number of laboratory models or volunteers used is not specified.
  • Data Provenance: The study involved "laboratory models" and "skin blood flow measurements on volunteers." The country of origin for the data is implicitly the United Kingdom, where Moor Instruments Ltd is based. The data would be considered prospective as it involves new testing for the purpose of this submission.

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

This information is not provided in the document. The type of testing performed (laboratory models, skin blood flow measurements) suggests objective measurements rather than subjective expert consensus for ground truth establishment.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

This information is not applicable as the document describes direct comparison testing using objective measurements of performance characteristics rather than an expert-adjudicated test set in the traditional sense.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:

An MRMC study was not conducted or described. The device is a measurement instrument, and the study focused on technical performance comparison rather than human reader interpretation with and without AI assistance.

6. Standalone Performance:

Yes, a standalone performance evaluation was done. The document provides detailed specifications and performance parameters like "Accuracy" for Flux, Concentration, and DC (Intensity), stating these accuracies relative to a standard. The study also concludes that the device performs "as well as or better than the predicate device," which implies standalone performance evaluation of the new device and its comparison to the predicate.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth appears to be based on objective physical measurements from "laboratory models" and "skin blood flow measurements on volunteers." For parameters like Flux, Conc, and DC, accuracy is given relative to "Moor Instruments 'standard' moorLDI" and a "temperature controlled (22 ±1°C) motility standard." This suggests a reliance on established measurement standards and controlled experimental conditions to define the true values.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

This information is not provided and is likely not applicable. The device is not described as an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set in the conventional sense. It's a measurement instrument, and its development would involve engineering design and calibration rather than AI model training.

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

This information is not provided and is not applicable, as there is no mention of an AI/ML component requiring a training set with established ground truth.

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.

Figure 1. Principle of operation

{5}------------------------------------------------

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".

5.4 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.

ModelLaser (Wavelength)ImageResolutionImage areaComparison withpredicate device
moorLDI2-IRInfra-red laser diode (785nm)StandardStandardSame
moorLDI2-HIRInfra-red laser diode (785nm)HighSmallNew
noorLDI2-VRHelium Neon gas laser (633nm)StandardStandardNew

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.
