Intended Use

The CLARUS 700 ophthalmic camera is indicated to capture, display, annotate and store images to aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders occurring in the retina, ocular surface and visible adnexa. It provides true color and autofluorescence imaging modes for stereo, widefield, ultra-widefield, and montage fields of view. The CLARUS 700 angiography is indicated as an aid in the visualization of vascular structures of the retina and the choroid.

Device Description

The CLARUS™ model 700 is a new addition to the CLARUS product family consisting of existing model 500 (K181444). The CLARUS 700 is an active, software controlled, highresolution ophthalmic imaging device for In-vivo imaging of the human eye. Imaging modes include True color, Fundus Auto-fluorescence with green excitation. Fundus Auto-fluorescence with blue excitation. Fluorescein Angiography, Stereo and External eve. All true color images can be separated into red, green and blue channel images to help enhance visual contrast of details in certain layers of the retina. The CLARUS 700 angiography imaging aids in the visualization of the vascular structures of the retina and the choroid. With a single capture, CLARUS 700 produces a 90° high definition widefield image. Widefield images are automatically merged to achieve a 135° ultra-widefield of view. The CLARUS 700 makes use of a deep learning algorithm for Optic Nerve Head (ONH) detection. The ultra-widefield montage on CLARUS 700 is no longer dependent just on the patient accurately fixating their gaze on the internal fixation. With the ONH detection, the software will find the optic nerve and determine based on the image(s) captured where the patient was gazing at the point of capture. The CLARUS 700 device allows clinicians to easily review and compare high-quality images captured during a single exam while providing annotation and caliper measurement tools that allow in-depth analysis of eye health. CLARUS 700 is designed to optimize each patient's experience by providing a simple head and chin rest that allows the patient to maintain a stable, neutral position while the operator brings the optics to the patient. facilitating a more comfortable imaging experience. The ability to swivel the device between the right and left eye helps technicians capture an image without realigning the patient. Live IR Preview allows the technician to confirm image quality and screen for lid and lash obstructions, prior to imaging, ensuring fewer image recaptures.

The CLARUS 700 device's principle of operation is Slit Scanning Ophthalmic Camera also referred to as Broad Line Fundus Imaging (BLFI), same as the predicate CLARUS 500 (K181444). During image capture, a line of illumination passes through the slit and scans across the retina. A 2D monochromatic camera captures the returned light to image the retina. A single sweep of the illumination is used to illuminate the retina for image capture. Repeated sweeps of near infrared light are used for a live retina view for alignment. Red, green and blue LEDs sequentially illuminate to generate true color images. Blue and green LED illumination enables Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) imaging. Fluorescein Angiography images are captured with green LED illumination at a wavelength that stimulates fluorescence of the injected sodium fluorescein dye.

The CLARUS 700 system is mainly comprised of an acquisition device, all-in-one PC, keyboard, mouse, instrument lift table and external power supply.

The CLARUS 700 hardware is based off the predicate CLARUS 500 (K181444) hardware. New FA imaging mode on the CLARUS 700 require the below hardware changes:

  • Added filters to support FA imaging mode .
  • Updated slim turret and motor with new positions for reliability, angiography filters and ● FPGA code
  • Updated calibration tool for new turret positions and differentiation
  • Change to lightbox board for reliability and support higher duty cycle in support of FA imaging
  • Updated Onyx All-in-one Computer for 32GB RAM and 2TB HDD storage space
  • Updated belt driven slit for reliability and to support FA imaging mode ●
  • . Updated camera to support FA imaging mode

The CLARUS software provides the user the capability to align, capture, review and annotate images. The software has two installation configurations: Software installed on the Instrument (Acquisition & Review) as well as Software installed on a separate 'Review Station' (Laptop or Computer) (only Review).

The CLARUS software version 1.1 is based off the predicate CLARUS software version 1.0 (K181444). Added image capture modality includes Fluorescein Angiography. Other changes implemented in the software version 1.1 include:

  • Automated Optic Nerve Head (ONH) detection for montaging ●
  • Smart (Region of Interest) Focus ●
  • Auto brightness for FA image series
  • Calibration software update for DEVICE hardware changes ●
  • . FORUM/ Other EMR connectivity updates for new FA imaging mode

The CLARUS 700 device meets the requirements of ISO 10940:2009 standard. The device technical specifications are identical to the predicate device. The performance specifications relevant to the user are summarized in the Table 1 below.

AI/ML Overview

Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided FDA 510(k) summary for the CLARUS 700:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

Criteria #Criteria DescriptionAcceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
1Area and lesion of interest is visible on the angiogramN/A (implied high visibility)17/20 (85%)
2Clinically useful image. Image appearance is consistent with the disease and transit phase of dyeN/A (implied high clinical utility)19/20 (95%)
3Artifacts, if any, do not interfere with ability to interpret imageN/A (implied minimal interference)19/20 (95%)

Note: The document only provides the reported device performance as "passing rates" for the Fluorescein Angiography (FA) imaging mode, without explicitly stating numerical acceptance criteria for each point. The acceptance criteria are implied to be high percentages, demonstrating good clinical utility and image interpretability.

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

  • Sample Size: 20 eyes from 13 subjects (11 male, 2 female)
  • Data Provenance: The document does not explicitly state the country of origin or whether the study was retrospective or prospective. However, based on the nature of a "clinical study to support indications for use," it is highly probable that it was a prospective study designed for regulatory submission. The location of the manufacturer (Dublin, California, USA) suggests the study might have been conducted in the US, but this is not explicitly stated for the clinical data itself.

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

The document does not explicitly state the number of experts used or their specific qualifications for establishing the ground truth of the test set images. It mentions "clinically useful image" and "ability to interpret image," implying expert evaluation, but the specifics are not provided in this summary.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:

The document does not mention any specific adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1). Expert consensus or independent review by a single expert is implied by the evaluation of "clinical utility" and "interpretability," but the process is not detailed.

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

  • Was an MRMC study done? No, a traditional MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance was not explicitly conducted or reported for the performance of AI on human readers.
  • Effect Size: Therefore, no effect size for human reader improvement with AI assistance is reported.

Note on AI: The device does make use of a deep learning algorithm for Optic Nerve Head (ONH) detection to improve montage creation, but the clinical study described focuses on the overall performance of the Fluorescein Angiography imaging mode, not specifically on the impact of ONH detection AI on reader performance.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance:

The document does not present separate standalone (algorithm-only) performance metrics for the deep learning algorithm (ONH detection). The clinical study evaluates the device's ability to capture useful images, which would indirectly incorporate the functionality of the device's software, but it's not a standalone performance evaluation of the AI component in isolation.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

The ground truth used for evaluating the clinical utility of the Fluorescein Angiography images appears to be expert clinical judgment/interpretation of the images. The criteria like "Area and lesion of interest is visible on the angiogram" and "Clinically useful image" strongly suggest evaluation by a medical professional or panel thereof. The study's objective was to demonstrate the device's ability to capture images useful for "diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders," further supporting expert clinical judgment as the ground truth.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set:

The sample size for the training set of the deep learning algorithm (ONH detection) is not specified in the provided document.

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

The document briefly mentions "deep learning algorithm for Optic Nerve Head (ONH) detection" but does not detail how the ground truth for training this algorithm was established. It can be inferred that it would involve expertly annotated images for ONH location, but the specifics are not provided.

{8}------------------------------------------------

DICOM Conformity Assessment

The device complies with the NEMA PS 3.1-3.20 (2016) standard and a DICOM Conformance Statement is provided.

CLINICAL TESTING

A non-significant risk clinical study was completed with the CLARUS 700 to support indications for use statement for the product. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the ability of the CLARUS 700 device in capturing fluorescein angiography (FA) images of the retina and choroid in a range of vitreoretinal and choroidal diseases. The study also included comparison data obtained on a reference device Optos California Fa (K142897) during the same angiogram procedure in some cases.

As part of this study, 20 eyes from 13 subjects (11 male, 2 female) were enrolled and imaged. The average age of the recruited subjects was 62 years old. Overall, Fluorescein Angiography images acquired on the CLARUS 700 device showed good clinical utility. The passing rate was as below.

Criteria# Criteria DescriptionPassing Rate
Area and lesion of interest is visible on the angiogram17/20 (85%)
Clinically useful image. Image appearance is consistent withthe disease and transit phase of dye19/20 (95%)
Artifacts, if any, do not interfere with ability to interpret image19/20 (95%)

The clinical study results demonstrate the ability of CLARUS 700 to capture clinically useful Fluorescein Angiography images of the retina and choroid in a range of vitreoretinal and choroidal diseases. In addition, the wide field of view allows more retinal area to be imaged at once, making it possible to capture the entire posterior pole during the early phase of dye transit, and reducing the number of peripheral sweeps needed during the later phases to cover the retina. This may be useful in documenting diseases that affect large parts of the retina, or diseases that affect the retina outside the posterior pole, such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein and artery occlusions.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION

The predicate device is Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc's CLARUS model 500 (K181444). The intended use of both devices is the same. They are both used to capture, display, store, annotate and review images of the human retina and the surrounding parts of the eye under mydriatic and nonmydriatic conditions. Both devices support the diagnosis and monitoring of eye diseases.

The differences in the Indications for Use statement for the devices do not affect their intended use, anatomical site of application or target population.

The technological characteristics of both the devices are identical. Both devices use the Slit

{9}------------------------------------------------

Scanning Ophthalmoscope technique (also referred to as Broad Line Fundus Imaging (BLFI)). Both devices have the same basic functions for capturing, displaying, storing and reviewing images of the human retina and surrounding parts of the eye. Both devices provide a wide field of view (FoV) of 90° with a single capture. Both devices have an identical patient-operator interface and controls for operating the device. With both devices, an external monitor is used to view images. For both devices, the software provides image review functionality.

Both devices use the same light sources to illuminate the retinal area and digital image sensors for recording images. Both devices provide retinal imaging modes under non-mydriatic and mydriatic conditions.

The CLARUS 700 provides Fluorescein Angiography imaging mode not available in the predicate. Fluorescein Angiography fundus imaging is a well-established imaging modality and has been widely used by eye care professionals in documenting various ocular diseases and conditions. Design Verification testing was completed to demonstrate that the specified Fluorescein Angiography imaging mode is provided and confirmed. A clinical study was completed to demonstrate the ability of the CLARUS 700 device to capture clinically useful Fluorescein Angiography images of the retina and choroid in a range of vitreoretinal and choroidal diseases. The study also includes comparison data obtained on a reference device during the same angiogram procedure for some of the cases.

A comparison of the subject device to the predicate device is provided in Table 2.

CONCLUSION

The intended use for the device CLARUS 700 and the predicate CLARUS 500 (K181444) is the same. They are both used to capture, display, annotate, store and review images of the human retina and the surrounding parts of the eye under mydriatic and non-mydriatic conditions. Both devices support the diagnosis and monitoring of eve diseases.

The technological characteristics of both the devices are identical. Both devices use the Slit Scanning Ophthalmoscope technique (also referred to as Broad Line Fundus Imaging (BLFI) in this premarket notification). Overall, both devices have functions for capturing, displaying, storing and reviewing images of the human retina and surrounding parts of the eye.

The CLARUS 700 device provides Fluorescein Angiography fundus imaging mode not available in the predicate. Design Verification testing was completed to demonstrate that the specified Fluorescein Angiography imaging mode is provided and confirmed. In addition, a clinical study was completed to demonstrate the ability of the CLARUS 700 device to capture clinically useful Fluorescein Angiography images of the retina and choroid in a range of vitreoretinal and choroidal diseases. The study also includes comparison data obtained on the reference Optos California Fa (K142897) during the same angiogram procedure in same cases. Performance data is provided to demonstrate that the CLARUS 700 device can achieve its intended use. Bench testing (including software and electrical safety/ EMC safety), biocompatibility and clinical data all support that the CLARUS 700 device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and is therefore considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

510(K) SUMMARY

Based on the successful Design Verification & Validation testing, it is Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.' s opinion that the CLARUS 700 does not introduce any new potential safety risks and is substantially equivalent to, and performs as well as, the predicate device.

Additionally, all testing deemed necessary was conducted on the CLARUS 700 to ensure that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device when used in accordance with its Instructions for Use.
