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).

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (Orion Rotary Chair). It does not contain details about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in a quantitative sense.

Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (System 2000 by Micromedical). The "performance tests" mentioned are primarily comparative, asserting that the new device performs "as specified" and is "safe and effective" based on these comparisons, rather than against predefined, quantitative acceptance criteria. There are no clinical tests performed.

Therefore, many of the requested items cannot be extracted from the provided text.

Here is a summary of what can be extracted and what cannot:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state quantitative acceptance criteria or a formal table comparing them against reported performance. Instead, it offers a "Comparison table" between the Orion device and its predicate (System 2000) for various descriptive and technical characteristics, aiming to show equivalence rather than adherence to specific numeric performance thresholds.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

Not applicable. No formal test set or clinical study is described. The "performance tests" involved comparisons of the physical device features and operational parameters against the predicate device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

Not applicable. No ground truth was established by experts for a test set, as no clinical study or diagnostic performance assessment involving human interpretation is described.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

Not applicable. No test set requiring adjudication is described.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This is a rotary chair for vestibular testing, not an AI-assisted diagnostic imaging device that would typically undergo an MRMC study. No AI component is mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This is a physical medical device (rotary chair) that requires operation by a trained medical professional; it is not a standalone algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

Not applicable. The basis for safety and effectiveness is substantial equivalence to a predicate device, demonstrated through comparative technical specifications and internal performance testing, not against a clinical ground truth.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This document describes a physical medical device, not a machine learning model; therefore, there is no "training set."

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set.

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.
