Intended Use
ARGOS is a non-invasive, non-contact biometer based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT). The device is intended to acquire ocular measurements as well as perform calculations to determine the appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) power and type for implantation during intraocular lens placement. ARGOS measures the following 9 parameters: Axial Length, Corneal Thickness, Anterior Clamber Depth, Lens Thickness, K-values (Radii of flattest and steepest meridians), Astigmatism, White (corneal diameter) and Pupil Size. The Reference Image functionality is intended for use as a preoperative and postoperative image capture tool. It is intended for use by ophthalmologists, physicians, and other eye-care professionals and may only be used under the supervision of a physician.
Device Description
The ARGOS is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified previously: - the ARGOS (Santec Corporation) that was cleared by the FDA on October 2nd, 2015(K150754) as the primary predicate as it has the most similar intended use and characteristics - the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec) that was cleared by the FDA on June 29, ● 2015 (K143275, K170171) as an additional (secondary) predicate to support a new feature of reference image capture on the version of ARGOS in this submission. The predicate devices are Class 2 devices to premarket notification, as defined per regulation number 21 CFR 886.1850. In addition, the predicate devices have product codes of MXK(ARGOS), and HJO(IOLMaster700). The version of ARGOS in this submission is a modified version of the Argos cleared under K150754 which is substantially equivalent with regard to intended use, operating principle, function, materials, and energy source. The differences from the predicate ARGOS (K150754) that are subject of this 510(k) submission are: - An additional feature of reference image capture function ● - Labeling change including change in the intended use adding the feature of reference . image capture. - .

More Information

No
The document explicitly states that AI/ML is "Not Found" and focuses on the device's measurement capabilities and a new image capture feature, without mentioning any AI/ML-driven analysis or processing.

No.
The device is intended to acquire ocular measurements and perform calculations for determining appropriate intraocular lens power and type, which is a diagnostic and measurement function, not a therapeutic one.

Yes

Justification: The device is intended to acquire ocular measurements and perform calculations to determine appropriate intraocular lens power and type. This involves assessing a patient's current condition to guide treatment, which is a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a modified version of a hardware device (ARGOS cleared under K150754) and mentions hardware specifications validation and input imaging modalities like SS-OCT and camera images, indicating it is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Definition of IVD: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases or other conditions. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • ARGOS Function: The ARGOS device is described as a non-invasive, non-contact biometer that acquires ocular measurements directly from the eye (in vivo). It uses optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) and other imaging modalities.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to acquire ocular measurements and perform calculations for IOL power determination and reference image capture. This is a diagnostic and planning tool for ophthalmic procedures, not a test performed on a biological sample.

Therefore, the ARGOS device falls under the category of an ophthalmic diagnostic device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Bench Test:
Performance of the ARGOS was evaluated by bench tests based on the relevant standards (ISO15004-1. ANSI.Z80-36. IEC 60825. ISO 10343).
Both ISO 15004-1 and ANSI.Z80-36, and IEC60825 tests prove the fundamental requirements for ophthalmic instruments and optical radiation safety of ARGOS are equivalent to predicate device. ISO 10343 tests results provided the required accuracy performance for ophthalmometer which measures corneal radii of curvature and angle of meridian with a certain cylinder (toroidal surface).
Hardware specifications were validated for axial/lateral distance measurement accuracy and range, signal-to-noise ratio, and depth attenuation, to prove that ARGOS meets the hardware performance requirements.
In addition, usability of the system including user interface software was evaluated and validated. Usability engineering conforms to IEC 62366, a collateral standard of ANSVAAMI ES 60601-1.

Software Verification and Validation:
Software verification and validation were performed according to ISO14971 and FDA guidance "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (May 11, 2005). The verification results confirm the fulfillment of software requirement specifications.

Cybersecurity Review:
Cybersecurity hazard analysis and risk management were conducted according to FDA guidance "Content of Premarket Submissions for Management of Cybersecurity in Medical Devices" (Oct 2, 2014).

Conclusion: The summary of bench tests and software verification and validation showed that the ARGOS was substantially equivalent to the predicate ARGOS devices -Information was submitted to demonstrate that there are no significant differences in technological characteristics between the proposed ARGOS and the predicate ARGOS devices.

Dear Dave Yungvirt:

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/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
