Intended Use
The Orion rotary chair is an optional accessory for VisualEyes 515 eye movement recording systems. The VisualEyes™ system provides information to assist in the nystagmographic evaluation, diagnosis and documentation of vestibular disorders. VNG testing evaluates nystagmus using goggles mounted with cameras. These images are measured, recorded, displayed and stored in the software. This information can then be used by a trained medical professional to assist in diagnosing vestibular disorders. The target population for videonystagmography is five years of age and above.
Device Description
The Orion is a rotary chair designed to assess the Vestibular Ocula Reflex (VOR). Orion rotary chair includes these three variants - Orion Reclining - Orion Auto Traverse - Orion Comprehensive . The Orion is considered an accessory to vestibular examination system software designated VisualEyes 525 and VisualEyes 515 manufactured by Interacoustics (FDA 510(k) K200534). The Orion is an update of the System 2000 by Micromedical ((FDA 510(k) ID K922037).
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of a rotary chair and image processing for measurement and recording, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
This device, a rotary chair, is described as an accessory for systems that assist in the nystagmographic evaluation and diagnosis of vestibular disorders, but it does not directly treat or cure a disease.

Yes

The VisualEyes™ system, of which the Orion rotary chair is an accessory, states its purpose is to "provide information to assist in the nystagmographic evaluation, diagnosis and documentation of vestibular disorders." This explicitly mentions diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the Orion is a "rotary chair designed to assess the Vestibular Ocula Reflex (VOR)" and lists three hardware variants. While it is an accessory to software, the device itself is a physical piece of equipment.

Based on the provided information, the Orion rotary chair itself is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Orion's Function: The Orion rotary chair is described as an accessory to the VisualEyes system. Its purpose is to assess the Vestibular Ocula Reflex (VOR) by physically moving the patient. It does not directly analyze biological specimens.
  • VisualEyes System: The VisualEyes system, which the Orion is an accessory to, does involve the collection and analysis of data (eye movements captured by cameras) to assist in diagnosis. However, this is not considered an in vitro process as it involves observing and measuring a physiological response in a living person, not analyzing a specimen taken from the body.

In summary: The Orion rotary chair is a piece of equipment used in conjunction with a diagnostic system (VisualEyes), but it does not perform the in vitro diagnostic testing itself. The VisualEyes system, while involved in diagnosis, is also not an IVD in the traditional sense because it analyzes a physiological response rather than a biological specimen.

Equivalent discussions (Software)

The evaluation of the VisualEves 515/525 compared to Spectrum was included in the 510(k) submission cleared under K163149. The evaluation was done for the System 2000 rotational chair. The Orion chair hardware equivalency was established by setting tests in VisualEyes 515/525 to certain parameters and then physically measuring the chair performance.

Equivalent discussions (Mechanical Foot Brake)

The ORION Reclining Chair implements an electronic lock. This function is designed to place the chair into an immobile state in order to ensure patient safety when seating and/or disembarking the patient from the reclining chair. It is also used to keep the chair immobile during the VNG test battery. The lock chair function is only made available prior to the test and cannot be activated during the testing procedure. This will automatically be switched off when performing a rotational chair test.

The System 2000 Reclining chair does not have an electronic braking system. A manual foot brake is found on the side of the chair drum. The operator should apply the brake to keep the chair in place for patient entry and VNG testing. When reclining the chair for Dix Hallpike, Positional, and Caloric tests, the foot brake should be released in order to rotate the chair if needed due to space constraints. The foot brake should then be reapplied when the chair is reclined to the appropriate position to keep the chair from rotating during the test.

Interacoustics A/S appraise that the function of the Mechanical Foot Brake and the electric lock is essential equivalent.

Performance Tests

Interacoustics A/S appraise that there are only minor updates and changes to the devices and that the safety and efficiency are essential the same.

Interacoustics A/S have performed comparisons between the updated revision of Orion chairs and the predicate device. All these activities, testing and validation show that Orion chairs performs as specified and are safe and effective.

Clinical tests

No clinical tests were performed. Interacoustics A/S have performed comparisons between the Orion chairs and the predicate device. These activities, testing and validation show that Orion chairs perform as specified and are safe and effective.

Discussion of differences

Interacoustics A/S did not find any essential or maior differences between the predicate and subject devices. Any deviations between Orion chairs and predicate device are appraised to have no impact on the safety and effectiveness of the device.

Conclusion

Interacoustics A/S have compared key issues for the Orion chairs and the predicate device. Interacoustics A/S have performed a comparison validation between Orion chairs and the predicate device.

Based upon non-clinical and clinical performance testing, the Orion chairs were found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is comparable to the predicate device. Therefore, Interacoustics A/S has demonstrated that the Orion chairs are substantially equivalent to the stated predicate device.
