No
The document describes a standard ophthalmic imaging system with digital camera technology and image storage/viewing capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced image analysis beyond basic storage and viewing. The modifications are related to hardware upgrades and communication features, not AI/ML functionality.
No
The device is used for imaging and photodocumentation, primarily for screening and diagnosis, not for treating any condition.
Yes
The device is intended for "photodocumentation of pediatric ocular diseases including retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)" and "Screening for Type 2 pre-threshold retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) or treatment-requiring ROP," which clearly indicates its use in the diagnosis and screening of medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it utilizes a digital camera in a handpiece, an on-board or laptop computer, and a light source, indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs analyze samples taken from the human body. The device description clearly states that the RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems utilize a digital camera to capture images of the eye (retinal, corneal, and external). It does not analyze blood, tissue, urine, or any other biological sample.
- The intended use is for imaging and photodocumentation. The primary function is to capture visual information of the eye for diagnosis and monitoring, not to perform tests on biological specimens.
The device is an ophthalmic imaging system, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
General ophthalmic imaging including retinal, corneal, and external imaging.

Device Description
RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems utilize a digital camera in a handpiece (with multiple field of view lenses) to capture color ophthalmic images including retinal, corneal, and external images. An on board computer (RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System) or laptop computer (RetCam Shuttle Ophthalmic Imaging System and RetCam Portable Ophthalmic Imaging System) is used to store, view, retrieve, and export the digital ophthalmic images. A standard Halogen light source is used in all RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems to provide illumination to the eye through the handpiece. An optional Fluorescein light source is also available on the RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System. Light intensity, camera focus, and image capture are controlled by the use of the footswitch on all RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems and can also be controlled by a keyboard on the RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System console. A console monitor is provided with the RetCam 3 Ophthalmic Imaging System for viewing images. The laptop monitor is used with the RetCam Shuttle Ophthalmic Imaging System and RetCam Portable Ophthalmic Imaging System. Proprietary software is installed on the computers to capture, store, view, retrieve, and export ophthalmic images.

Summary of Performance Studies
The modified/subject devices are modified versions of the previously cleared RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems cleared under K090326 (predicate). The modifications were made to upgrade the camera (due to obsolescence), add DICOM communication features, and update the software to support the modifications. The fundamental scientific technology and indications for use for the modified/subject devices are unchanged. The modified/subject RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems have been tested and found to comply with the following recognized consensus standards: IEC 60601-1:2005, (MOD) Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance IEC 60601-1-2:2007/(R) 2012 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances - Requirements and tests DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) -Developed by the American College of Radiology and the National Electrical Manufacturers Association. NEMA PS 3.1-3.20 (2016). Additionally, the modified/subject RetCam Ophthalmic Imaging Systems have been tested internally and met defined acceptance criteria. The tests included: Image Comparison Test, Optics verification and Validation Test, ISTA Test.

Dear Brian Ackley:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrl/cfdocs/cfpm/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
