AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The description explicitly states the software "does not perform automated image analysis" and that measurements are based on user-marked pixels. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts.

Therapeutic

No
The device is a software platform for managing and viewing clinical images, videos, and patient data; it explicitly states it neither performs interpretations nor provides treatment recommendations, and does not perform automated image analysis.

Diagnostic

No

Explanation:
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the system "neither performs any interpretations nor provides treatment recommendations." While it handles clinical images and diagnostic information, it explicitly disclaims performing interpretations, which is a key function of a diagnostic device. It acts as a data management and viewing platform for information from other ophthalmic diagnostic instruments.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

Yes

The device is described as a "comprehensive software platform" and an "internet-browser-based software platform." While it interacts with hardware (ophthalmic diagnostic instruments and PC workstations), the device itself is presented solely as software for importing, processing, viewing, measurement, storage, management, and communication of data. There is no mention of any hardware component being part of the device submission.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, the Harmony Referral System (Harmony RS) is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
Harmony RS function: The Harmony RS is a software platform that manages and displays clinical images, videos, and patient data from ophthalmic diagnostic instruments. It works with images and data generated by diagnostic instruments, not on samples taken from the patient.
Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "importing, processing, viewing, measurement and storage of clinical images and videos... and in management and communication of patient data, diagnostic and clinical information and reports from ophthalmic diagnostic instruments." This focuses on managing and presenting data from diagnostic devices, not performing diagnostic tests itself.
Lack of sample analysis: There is no mention of the Harmony RS analyzing biological samples or performing any tests on patient specimens.

Therefore, the Harmony Referral System falls under the category of medical device software that supports the use of diagnostic instruments and manages the resulting data, but it is not an in vitro diagnostic device itself.

Device Description

Harmony Referral System is an internet-browser-based software platform that allows users to access examination data of a patient from different sources. Harmony Referral System may be used together with a number of computerized digital imaging devices and third party software. In addition. Harmony Referral System software collects and manages patient demographics, image data, and clinical reports from a range of approved medical devices. Harmony Referral System enables a real-time review of diagnostic patient information at a PC workstation. The software uses SSL encryption in network communication and secure network infrastructure with firewalls and additionally also VPN and IP-based access restrictions to ensure secure networking environment. The Harmony Referral System does not perform automated image analysis but provides measurements based on pixels of an image, which were marked by the user manually on the screen including cup-disk ratio and line and area measurements.

Indications for Use

Harmony Referral System (Harmony RS) is a comprehensive software platform intended for use in importing, processing, viewing, measurement and storage of clinical images and videos as well as in management and communication of patient data, diagnostic and clinical information and reports from ophthalmic diagnostic instruments through either direct connection with the instruments or through computerized networks.

Performance Data

No performance data was required or provided. Software validation and verification demonstrate that Harmony RS performs as intended and meets its' specifications.

Substantial Equivalence

The Harmony RS is substantially equivalent to Topcon Healthcare Solutions' Harmony cleared in K182376. The Harmony RS has the same intended use and similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared predicate. Both devices are software only image management systems which manage, display and analyze ophthalmic images.

Regarding acquisition, Harmony RS and Harmony (K182376) do not offer capture components. Both devices import digital images, patient data, diagnostic data and clinical information from other software capture systems and directly from ophthalmic devices. The Harmony RS has an absolute measurement tool which is derived from pixel spacing information provided by the source device and does not perform any automated image analysis. It provides line and area measurements as well as cup-disc ratio based on the user manually marking the images on the screen which are the same measurements performed by the Harmony. The Harmony also performs MPS which is not performed by Harmony RS.

Harmony RS and Harmony both allow standard viewing operations such as zoom in/out, flip/rotate, etc. and standard image enhancements such as contrast adjustment, and drawing tools. Harmony RS provides DICOM communication with other PACS as does Topcon Healthcare Solutions' Harmony (K182376). Harmony RS and Harmony both provide similar customizable print templates and archive and backup functionality.

The minor differences including the operating system, hardware requirements, system access, and measurement and analysis. The predicate device is operated on a MS Windows Server and supports the Chrome browser while the Harmony RS uses additional servers and browsers. The predicate software is used on a Windows XP/2000 PC while the Harmony RS operates on a Desktop PC operating Windows. The predicate device is available both on a desktop and webbased while the Harmony RS is only web-based.

The different technological characteristics of the devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. The differences in hardware requirements and system access are all system features that can be evaluated during software validation and verification and were primarily revised to allow the system to operate with newer hardware, browsers and operating systems.

5

The Harmony RS shares similar technological characteristics with the predicate device, both in terms of the manner in which images are captured, and stored, as well as the operation of the device by the intended user. The software validation and verification shows that the Harmony RS performs as intended and supports substantial equivalence.
