Device Description

The Iridex TruFocus LIO Premiere Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope is a light combination and reflection viewing system used with the Iridex IQ/GL/SL/TX laser system families. The LIO combines a laser treatment beam from an Iridex laser source with the illumination beam of a Heine binocular indirect ophthalmoscope into a mixed optical beam used by a physician with a handheld ophthalmic examination (condensing) lens to enter a patient's pupil and to collect and view reflections by a patient's retina returned through the same pupil. It provides a portable alternative to patients who cannot be examined or treated with a fixed slit lamp adapter. The LIO is supplied non-sterile and is intended for reuse and worn on the physician's head to view and treat the patient's retina. The device can be used to evaluate and treat patients of all ages, including infants, in an office, operating room and ambulatory surgical center setting.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Iridex TruFocus LIO Premiere Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than detailing extensive clinical performance studies for a novel AI/software-driven medical device. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding AI model performance, ground truth establishment, training sets, and expert adjudication cannot be extracted from this document, as it pertains to a different type of device and regulatory pathway.

This document describes hardware modifications to an existing device and updates to its operating manual. The performance data presented is "simulated use" validation testing for the physical device, not an AI or software algorithm.

However, I can provide the information that is present in the document.

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not present acceptance criteria in a formal table with reported device performance in the manner typically seen for clinical effectiveness of a new AI/software feature. Instead, it describes a "simulated use" validation test.

Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from Test Design)Reported Device Performance
The user could properly align and operate the device (e.g., the illumination and aiming/treatment beams would pass through the 20-diopter condensing lens and concentrically enter the simulated pupil plane using a pupil size of 6 mm in diameter, and achieve proper alignment of the internal illumination and aiming/treatment beam mirrors as well as illumination and aiming beam travel within the binocular field of view by using the adjustment control knobs) when following the updated operator manual."All units passed the simulated use test." This indicates that for all tested devices, the users were able to properly align and operate the device according to the updated manual and observe the expected beam alignments and travel.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample size for the test set: 25 modified TruFocus LIO Premiere devices.
  • Data provenance: Not directly applicable in the sense of patient data. The "test set" consists of the physical devices themselves undergoing simulated use. The testing was conducted as part of a 510(k) submission, implying it was contemporary to the submission date (August 3, 2018). It is not specified if the testing was retrospective or prospective in relation to patient treatment, as it was a simulated use test of the device's functionality. The country of origin of the data (testing location) is not specified.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

This information is not applicable and not provided. The "ground truth" for this simulated use test was whether the device could be properly operated and aligned physically according to its design specifications using the updated manual, not a clinical diagnosis or outcome. The validation involved verifying the physical alignment and functionality of the device, likely a pass/fail assessment based on engineering specifications, rather than an expert clinical determination. The risk assessment was performed by a "qualified cross-functional team," but their role was in assessing risks, not establishing a clinical ground truth for a test set.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable and not provided. The test was a simulated use validation, which likely involved a technical assessment of physical alignment and function, not a consensus-based adjudication of clinical findings.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

No. This document does not mention an MRMC study or any AI component. The device is a laser indirect ophthalmoscope, a hardware device, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

No. This is a hardware device, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" was the physical functionality and alignment of the device as per its design specifications when operated by a user following the updated manual. This is a technical/engineering ground truth based on the device's intended operation, not a clinical "expert consensus" or "pathology/outcomes data."

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This device does not involve a training set for an AI algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable. There is no AI algorithm with a distinct training set described in this document.
