Intended Use
Measuring temporal characteristics of saccadic refixation responses when viewing lateral visual stimulus and identifying the individual time delays of moving the eyes toward the stimuli.
Device Description
The Saccadometer system measures eye movements in horizontal axis with temporal 1kHz and spatial resolution < 5 arc min. The system incorporates a built in visual target presentation using miniature laser projectors mounted on the sensor forehead plate. Saccadometer Plus is equipped with three red laser projectors with 10° separation. Saccadometer Advanced has additional extra green laser and it allows to perform more complex saccadic task. Information about eye movement is acquired by analyzing the infrared light reflected from eye orbit. The left and right eve orbit are illuminated by two infrared LEDs, providing eve surface irradiance below 1mW/cm-(operating condition). Due to the conjugacy and synchronicity of the saccadic eye movements, the rotation of left and right eyes, can be added and averaged. The inner canthi of the left and right eyes are illuminated with the low intensity IR. The difference between the amounts of IR reflected back from the eye surfaces toward the photodetecting circuitry, carries the information about the eye position changes. The eye landmarks are taking part in generation of the eye movement signal. The corneal bulge and the limbus (the border between darker iris and white sclera). Main contributor to the eye movement signal is the corneal bulge. Being the relative eye position measurement system, it requires to define the initial eye position. It means that at the beginning of every measurement, a steady eye fixation point needs to be provided. In Saccadometer the central fixation target serves this purpose. The Saccadometer Plus and Saccadometer Advanced systems are composed of: - proprietary hardware and firmware, enclosed in - examination control unit with 2 x 1.5V AA batteries, and the - eye movement sensor with integrated miniature laser spot projectors - proprietary software application LatencyMeter. - optical fiber to USB data transmitter
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a hardware-based system for measuring eye movements using infrared light and laser projectors. It mentions a "saccade detection algorithm" but provides no indication that this algorithm utilizes AI or ML techniques. The performance studies focus on traditional metrics like linearity, resolution, and reliability, not metrics typically associated with AI/ML performance (e.g., AUC, sensitivity/specificity on a large dataset). There is no mention of training or test sets in the context of model development, which is characteristic of AI/ML.

No
The device measures temporal characteristics of saccadic refixation responses and identifies individual time delays of eye movements, indicating it is a diagnostic or measurement tool, not a therapeutic device.

Yes

The device measures temporal characteristics of saccadic refixation responses and identifies individual time delays of eye movements, which are physiological parameters used to assess neurological function. The intended use of "measuring temporal characteristics of saccadic refixation responses" and "identifying the individual time delays of moving the eyes toward the stimuli" points to gathering information about the body's functional state, which is indicative of a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system is composed of "proprietary hardware and firmware," an "examination control unit," an "eye movement sensor with integrated miniature laser spot projectors," and an "optical fiber to USB data transmitter," in addition to the software application. This indicates the device includes significant hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, derived from the human body, to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Device Function: The Saccadometer system measures eye movements in response to visual stimuli. It does this by analyzing infrared light reflected from the eye orbit. This is a measurement of a physiological response in vivo (within the living body), not an examination of a specimen in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to measure temporal characteristics of saccadic refixation responses and identify time delays of eye movements. This is a functional assessment of the oculomotor system, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Device Description: The description details hardware that interacts with the eye and head, not equipment for analyzing biological specimens.
  • Input Modality: The input modality is infrared light reflected from the eye, not a biological sample.

Therefore, the Saccadometer system, as described, falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device. It is a device that measures a physiological function directly from the patient.
