I-Norm 100_18-45 is a quantitative tool for the comparison of patient measurements to a database of known normal subjects ages 18-45. I-Norm 100_18-45 presents data for interpretation by qualified medical personnel trained in vestibular, neurotologic, and neuro-ophtalmic diagnostic testing. I-Norm 100_18-45 is applicable to individuals only in the 18-45 age range.
The proposed intended use for I-Norm 100 18-45 is as following:
I-Norm 100 18-45 is designed to be used with the family of I-Portal® devices:
-
I-Portal® Neuro Otologic Test Center (NOTC) (cleared by K083603, K143607)
-
I-Portal® Video-Nystagmography System (VNG) SVNG-2 (cleared by K143607)
-
I-Portal® Portable Assessment System™ Nystagmograph (I-PAS™) (cleared by K171884)
The I-Portal® devices with I-Norm 100_18-45 are nystagmograph devices intended for use in vestibular and neurotologic diagnostic testing. The addition of the I-Norm 100_18-45 does not change the intended use or the indication for use for these devices from their original clearances listed above.
I-Norm 100_18-45 is a software package that contains normative data for the segment of population ages 18 to 45, for oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests delivered on the family of I-Portal® devices described below.
All I-Portal® devices function as nystagmographs, defined by 21 CFR 882.1460 as "devices used to measure, record, or visually display the involuntary movements (nystagmus) of the eyeball." Through their nystagmograph functionality, the I-Portal® devices are indicated for use as a measurement tool to assist trained physicians in their analysis of vestibular and neurotologic disorders, requiring a separation of central and peripheral nervous system deficits. The I-Portal® devices are used in an institutional environment on the order of a physician.
The I-Portal® NOTC features a rotational chair, optokinetic (OKN) optical stimulus, Pursuit Tracker (PT) laser target generator, I-Portal Video Oculography (VOG), I-Portal® and VEST™ software, and a test enclosure equipped with a communication system.
The I-Portal® VNG offers a subset of the NOTC tests and additional vestibular tests through a device with a smaller physical footprint. The VNG has many of the same elements used in the NOTC configuration: OKN optical stimulus, PT laser target generator, VOG, I-Portal and VEST™ software platforms.
The I-PAS™ is a portable, compact, 3D, head-mounted display system with integrated eye tracking that offers a set of tests equivalent to the VNG and additional vestibular and oculomotor tests, but with a smaller physical footprint. Stimuli are presented on a high-resolution digital screen (2560 x 1440 pixels) mounted in a virtual reality-like goggle system.
Software: All I-Portal® devices use VEST™ software to deliver a battery of oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests and I-Portal® software to record eye movements and reaction time responses during these tests. The analysis of OVRT-C tests performed by VEST™ software provides the clinician with a number of physiological measurements to aid in the assessment of vestibular and neurotologic disorders. This application seeks to add I-Norm 100_18-45, a normative oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive test database for ages 18-45 to the VEST™ software.
This document describes the I-Norm 100_18-45 software, a quantitative tool that compares patient measurements to a database of known normal subjects aged 18-45. It is designed to be used with Neuro Kinetics, Inc.'s I-Portal® devices (NOTC, VNG, I-PAS™).
Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The core acceptance criterion for the I-Norm 100_18-45 software is the establishment and presentation of a normative oculomotor and vestibular database for ages 18-45 across various tests. The device performance is demonstrated by the calculation of 95% Reference Intervals (RI) with 90% Confidence Intervals (CI) for a wide range of variables across 16 different oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time, and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests.
The document does not explicitly state pre-defined "acceptance criteria" in a numerical target format (e.g., "accuracy > X%"). Instead, the performance is demonstrated by the successful collection, analysis, and presentation of these normative ranges. The implication is that the derived normative ranges themselves, with their associated confidence intervals, represent the "performance" for establishing what is considered "normal" for the target population.
Table 5-2 (pages 8-10 of the input) serves as the primary evidence of the reported device performance, providing the calculated normative ranges. A representative sample from Table 5-2 is shown below to illustrate the type of reported performance:
Representative Performance Data from Table 5-2 (I-Norm 100_18-45)
| Test | Variable | RI Lower Limit | RI Upper Limit | 90% CI for Lower Limit RI | 90% CI for Upper Limit RI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Saccade Random, Horizontal | Latency (sec) | n/a | 0.22 | n/a | 0.21 - 0.22 |
| Accuracy (%) | 81 | 103 | 80 - 82 | 101 - 105 | |
| Peak Velocity (deg/sec) for eye displacement of: 30 (deg) | 356 | n/a | 355 - 374 | n/a | |
| 3. Smooth Pursuit Horizontal 0.1Hz | Velocity gain | 0.78 | 1.07 | 0.76 - 0.80 | 1.07 - 1.08 |
| Asymmetry (%) | -8.80 | 7.53 | (-9.91) – (-8.17) | 7.26 - 7.91 | |
| 5. OKN 20deg/s | Average eye velocity - for CCW stimuli (deg/sec) | -20.05 | -12.15 | (-20.31) — (-19.84) | (-13.00) — (-11.37) |
| 12. Visual Reaction Time | Latency (msec) | n/a | 343 | n/a | 335 - 350 |
| 16. Antisaccades | Error Rate (%) = % of pro-saccade errors | 0 | 50 | 0-0 | 50.00 -50.00 |
Note: "n/a" indicates a limit not of clinical interest for that specific variable (e.g., only an upper limit for latency, or only a lower limit for velocities/gains).
The "acceptance criteria" can be implicitly understood as the successful generation of these statistically robust normative ranges, allowing the device to perform its intended function of comparison. The software verification and validation testing mentioned under "Non-Clinical Performance Data" also implies acceptance criteria related to software functionality and display of norms.
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The study collected data from a total of 466 subjects (males and females).
- Data Provenance:
- Country of Origin: United States. Subjects were recruited at 3 different sites: the University of Miami, Naval Medical Center San Diego, and Madigan Army Medical Center.
- Retrospective or Prospective: The data collection described appears to be prospective, as subjects were "recruited" and "tested" with a battery of tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This study is focused on establishing normative data for a specific age range, not on classifying or diagnosing specific conditions based on expert consensus. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" in the traditional sense (e.g., for disease diagnosis) isn't directly applicable here.
Instead, the "ground truth" for the normative data is derived from a carefully selected healthy population (ages 18-45) that met strict inclusion/exclusion criteria designed to ensure they were free from conditions that could impact oculomotor and vestibular tests. The establishment of this "healthy" ground truth was implicitly overseen by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that approved the protocols and the researchers conducting the study, who are qualified in the field of vestibular, neurotologic, and neuro-ophthalmic diagnostic testing. The specific number and qualifications of these researchers/clinicians supervising data collection and subject selection are not detailed, but the general context implies medical and scientific expertise.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Since the study aims to establish normative ranges from healthy individuals rather than diagnose conditions requiring interpretation of ambiguous data, an explicit "adjudication method" for the test set (like 2+1 or 3+1 consensus) was not performed or needed. The raw data from the healthy subjects themselves, after passing the exclusion criteria, formed the basis for the normative ranges.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was mentioned or performed. This study's purpose was to establish normative data for the device, not to assess human reader improvement with AI assistance. The I-Norm 100_18-45 provides a quantitative comparison tool, but it does not act as an AI that assists in interpreting complex images or signals in a way that typically necessitates an MRMC study to show human performance improvement. It's a reference database rather than an assistive AI interpretation tool.
6. Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Performance
The device, I-Norm 100_18-45, is a software package that contains normative data. Its "performance" is its ability to accurately store and present these normative ranges and to allow comparison of patient data to these norms. It is not an algorithm that independently diagnoses or makes decisions, but rather a reference tool.
The "standalone performance" is demonstrated by the calculation of the 95% Reference Intervals (RI) and 90% Confidence Intervals (CI) presented in Table 5-2. These numerical values are a direct output of the algorithm's statistical analysis of the collected data, independent of human interpretation for their derivation. The software then displays these values and visually indicates if patient data fall within or outside these norms. The "Software Verification and Validation Testing" also confirms that the software correctly displays these norms as intended.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used was normative data derived from a large cohort of healthy individuals (ages 18-45) who met specific inclusion/exclusion criteria. This is essentially "healthy population data" as a form of ground truth for establishing what constitutes "normal" ranges for the specific physiological measurements obtained by the I-Portal® devices. There was no "expert consensus" on individual cases of disease, pathology, or outcomes data used to establish this normative ground truth.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The document does not explicitly delineate a "training set" and a "test set" in the typical machine learning sense for an AI model that learns a function. Instead, the entire dataset of 466 subjects was used to establish the normative database. This database, once established, acts as the reference for future patient comparisons. In this context, the 466 subjects serve as the data from which the "normative model" (i.e., the reference intervals) was derived.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As noted above, there isn't a "training set" in the conventional AI sense. The ground truth for establishing the normative database (which acts as the reference for the device) was established as follows:
- Subject Selection: Healthy individuals aged 18-45 were recruited from the general population, including nonprofessional athletes, civilians, and military service members.
- Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria: Strict criteria approved by IRBs were used to select subjects. Exclusion criteria were focused on conditions/diseases that could impact oculomotor and vestibular tests (e.g., history of brain injury, severe neuropsychiatric disorders, neurodegenerative disorders of hearing and balance, cerebrovascular disorders, certain ear operations, systemic disorders like renal failure, cirrhosis, and pregnancy).
- Data Collection: Participants underwent a battery of oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time, and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests using I-Portal® NOTC or I-PAS™ devices.
- Statistical Analysis: The collected data from these rigorously selected healthy subjects were analyzed using a univariate general linear model to assess the effect of age, gender, and combined age x gender. Non-parametric methods were then used to calculate the 95% (2.5th and 97.5th) reference interval (RI) with 90% confidence interval (CI) for the lower and upper limits of each variable. This statistical derivation from a verified healthy population constitutes the "ground truth" for the normative data.

IV. Device Description
I-Norm 100_18-45 is a software package that contains normative data for the segment of population ages 18 to 45, for oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests delivered on the family of I-Portal® devices described below.
{4}------------------------------------------------
All I-Portal® devices function as nystagmographs, defined by 21 CFR 882.1460 as "devices used to measure, record, or visually display the involuntary movements (nystagmus) of the eyeball." Through their nystagmograph functionality, the I-Portal® devices are indicated for use as a measurement tool to assist trained physicians in their analysis of vestibular and neurotologic disorders, requiring a separation of central and peripheral nervous system deficits. The I-Portal® devices are used in an institutional environment on the order of a physician.
The I-Portal® NOTC features a rotational chair, optokinetic (OKN) optical stimulus, Pursuit Tracker (PT) laser target generator, I-Portal Video Oculography (VOG), I-Portal® and VEST™ software, and a test enclosure equipped with a communication system. Through the use of these elements and the VEST™ analysis software, the physician is able to schedule a set of tests designed to help isolate, identify and understand oculomotor, neurologic and vestibular functions and related possible disorders.
The I-Portal® VNG offers a subset of the NOTC tests and additional vestibular tests through a device with a smaller physical footprint. The VNG has many of the same elements used in the NOTC configuration: OKN optical stimulus, PT laser target generator, VOG, I-Portal and VEST™ software platforms. However, unlike the NOTC, it does not have either the rotational chair or the enclosure & communication system, but the VNG can collect and analyze data from caloric and position tests. The VNG configuration is typically used in smaller clinics or conditions requiring a smaller sized device or some mobility.
The I-PAS™ is a portable, compact, 3D, head-mounted display system with integrated eye tracking that offers a set of tests equivalent to the VNG and additional vestibular and oculomotor tests, but with a smaller physical footprint. Stimuli are presented on a high-resolution digital screen (2560 x 1440 pixels) mounted in a virtual reality-like goggle system. The nature of the integrated display monitor in I-PAS™ obstructs the patients' view of the external environment and ambient light.
Software: All I-Portal® devices use VEST™ software to deliver a battery of oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests and I-Portal® software to record eye movements and reaction time responses during these tests. The analysis of OVRT-C tests performed by VEST™ software provides the clinician with a number of physiological measurements to aid in the assessment of vestibular and neurotologic disorders. This application seeks to add I-Norm 100_18-45, a normative oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive test database for ages 18-45 to the VEST™ software. The normative database will be a quantitative tool for the comparison of patient measurements to a database of known 18-45 year old subjects without oculomotor and vestibular disorders (clinical data that support this application are presented in the normative data user manual). This comparison will enable physicians to evaluate possible abnormalities by identifying values outside of normal ranges, and therefore used by physicians in their diagnosis of vestibular disorders.
{5}------------------------------------------------
V. Intended Use / Indications for Use
The indication for use for I-Norm 100 18-45 is as following:
"I-Norm 100_18-45 is a quantitative tool for the comparison of patient measurements to a database of known normal subjects ages 18-45. I-Norm 100_18-45 presents data for interpretation by qualified medical personnel trained in vestibular. neurotologic, and neuro-ophthalmic diagnostic testing. I-Norm 100 18-45 is applicable to individuals only in the 18-45 age range."
The intended use for I-Norm 100 18-45 is as following:
I-Norm 100 18-45 is designed to be used with the family of I-Portal® devices:
- . I-Portal® Neuro Otologic Test Center (NOTC) (cleared by K083603, K143607)
- I-Portal® Video-Nystagmography System (VNG) SVNG-2 (cleared by K143607) .
- I-Portal® Portable Assessment Svstem™ Nystagmograph (I-PAS™) (cleared by ● K171884)
The I-Portal® devices with I-Norm 100 18-45 are nystagmograph devices intended for use in vestibular and neurotologic diagnostic testing. The I-Norm 100 18-45 does not change the intended use or the indication for use for these devices from their original clearances listed above.
VI. Technological Characteristics
The modified I-Portal® devices with the addition of VEST™ with I-Norm 100 18-45 have the same technological characteristics as their predicate devices, as cleared by K083603, K143607 and K171884.
I-Portal® devices provide visual and auditory stimuli while recording the horizontal, vertical, torsional, and pupil changes of a subject's eves. NOTC provides additional motion stimuli. The subject's motor reaction times are recorded via a small, wired, hand-held trigger button box. Two high speed digital infrared cameras (940nm; sampling rate 100 to 500 frames/sec) transmit video images to a computer via a USB3 communication protocol. Spatial resolution for horizontal and vertical eye tracking and torsion is <0.01 degrees: eye tracking range is ±30 degrees horizontal, ±20 degrees vertical and ±10 degrees torsional. NKI's patented synchronization methods align outputs of left and right eves with the stimulus presentation. I-Portal® software captures, time stamps, and analyzes the digital images of the eye, collecting horizontal, vertical, torsional, and pupil data. Each eve is tracked separately to enable measuring conjugacy and performance differences between eyes.
VEST™ software operates the hardware, manages and captures the stimulus profiles, intecrates I-Portal® eye-tracking data, and analyzes data generating a comprehensive set of over 500 clinically relevant metrics. The addition of the I-Norm 100 18-45 to the VEST™ software does not change the technological performance of any I-Portal® devices.
I-Norm 100_18-45 provides the clinicians a choice of visualizing patient's data (when patient is 18-45 years old) in the context of a known normative database.

VII. Performance Data: Non-Clinical and Clinical Performance Data
a) Clinical Performance Data
Clinical data are provided to support the intended use for the I-Portal® devices with I-Norm 100 18-45 and to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. A detailed description of data collection and analysis is included in the normative data user manual. Below is a summary of clinical testing.
1. Subject Selection Criteria
Data were collected from a total of 466 males and females ages 18-45 of all races that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria approved by IRB protocols. Subjects were recruited at 3 different sites: the University of Miami, Naval Medical Center San Diego and Madigan Army Medical Center. Subjects were recruited from the intended population of use, which included nonprofessional athletes who participate in intercollegiate athletics, civilians and military service members. This mixture ensures appropriate representation of different levels of activity and skills encountered in the general population. Exclusion criteria were focused on conditions/diseases that could impact the oculomotor and vestibular tests. These include a history of brain injury, repeated blast exposure, presence of severe aphasia, history of diagnosed neuropsychiatric disorders, e.g., hypochondriasis, major depression, schizophrenia, neurodegenerative disorders of hearing and balance, e.g., Meniere's disease, multiple sclerosis, vestibular neuritis, vestibular schwannoma, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, cerebrovascular disorders, history of ear operation other than myringotomy tube in the past, and systemic disorders, e.q., chronic renal failure, cirrhosis of the liver. Pregnancy was also excluded. The complete details for subject recruitment, sites, IRB approvals and inclusion/exclusion criteria are included in the user manual.
2. Oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive tests
The participants were tested with a battery of oculomotor, vestibular, reaction time and cognitive (OVRT-C) tests, on either the NOTC (300 subjects) or I-PAS™ (166 subjects) devices (Table 5-1). The devices are substantially equivalent as described in the K083603, K143607 and K171884, use the same I-Portal® eye tracking software and VEST™ analysis software. Thus, the data obtained from the two devices were pooled. The tests and variable analyzed are used in clinical practice for evaluation of vestibular and neuro otologic function.

Results
Data were analyzed using a univariate general linear model for the effect of age, gender and combined age x gender on variables describing OVRT-C tests (Table 5-2). When statistical significance was demonstrated differences were evaluated and when deemed appropriate data were partitioned by groups. Using non-parametric methods, the 95% (2.5th and 97.5th) reference interval (RI) with 90% confidence interval (CI) on lower and upper limits was calculated. For one sided variables either the 2.50 or 97.50 percentile is presented. In addition, the 2.50, 5th, 10th, 25th, 75th, 90th, 95th and 97.50 percentiles are provided in the user manual for a completely informed understanding of where subject data fall within the general population.
In summary, these results (Table 5-2) constitute a normative oculomotor and vestibular database for the tests listed in this application for ages 18-45.
User display for I-Norm 100 18-45
-
- Software: VEST™ software, as cleared by K181025, contains the coding necessary to incorporate the I-Norm 100_18-45. Addition of this database does not in any way alter the raw data or analysis results gathered from the patient. VEST™ software will display the normative data in two forms to allow clinicians to quickly determine which values and how many of these values are within or outside the norms:
- a) Graphical presentation. In the graphs generated after data acquisition, the upper and lower boundaries of the RI will be indicated by gray shaded areas. Test variables that are outside the norms will fall in these shaded areas. Test variables within the norms will fall in between the shaded areas. This feature allows clinicians to quickly visualize which test variables are out of norms.
- b) Numerical presentation.
- a. For many variables, the percentage or test values that fall "Within Norm" will be presented. This feature allows clinicians to quickly visualize how many of the variables within a test are out of norms.
- b. There are variables for which VEST™ provides a numerical value but the screen does not has an indication of "Within Norm". The norms for these variables are included in the user manual.
-
- User Manual: The normative database manual contains all norms presented in table format. A summary of all norms found in the manual is presented in Table 5-2 below.

c) Non-Clinical Performance Data
Software Verification and Validation Testing
Verification testing consisted of verification of the software requirements and hardware requirements. Validation testing was performed to ensure that users were able to properly install, uninstall and use the I-Norm 100_18-45 and that the user interface was operating as intended, i.e. displaying norm values as intended. The verification and validation test results confirm that the I-Portal® devices with the added I-Norm 100 18-45 performs as intended.
Risk Analysis
The addition of I-Norm 100 18-45 can pose a new risk, i.e. misinterpretation of the data if used for subjects outside the 18-45 age interval. This risk is mitigated by adding a warning label in the manual:
WARNING: "I-Norm 100_18-45 is applicable to subjects only in the 18-45 age range. Use of this database for subjects whose age is not within the 18-45 range may result in erroneous information. PLEASE CHECK THE AGE OF THE SUBJECT TO ENSURE THE DESIRED AGE RANGE."
The clinicians can chose to use this normative database as well as their own normative datasets.
The addition of I-Norm 100 18-45 to the existing VEST™ software running on I-Portal® devices did not identify any other unacceptable residual risks nor increase to the overall I-Portal® devices risk profile as they were originally cleared on 08/06/2009 (K083603), 07/08/2015 (K143607) and 11/22/2017 (K171884).
VIII. Substantial Equivalence
The I-Portal® devices with added I-Norm 100 18-45 are substantially equivalent to the predicate I-Portal® devices: have the same intended use, technological characteristics and principles of operation, function, material, and energy source. The only difference is a choice of presenting patient's test data in the context of a database of known normal subjects. Clinical data included in this application support the change in the new indication for use. The newly identified risk of potential misinterpretation of the data if used for subjects not in the age range from which the normative data was constructed is mitigated by adding a warning label. The technological differences do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness, which is supported by performance data.
Technological comparisons and clinical testing demonstrate that the I-Portal® devices with I-Norm 100 18-45 are functionally equivalent to their predicate devices.
IX. Conclusion
The information provided in this submission supports safety and effectiveness of the I-Portal® NOTC, VNG and I-PAS™ devices with added I-Norm 100 18-45 for their intended use and demonstrates that the devices are substantially equivalent to their predicates.
