Intended Use
The EyeBOX is intended to measure and analyze eye movements as an aid in the diagnosis of concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), within one week of head injury in patients 5 through 67 years of age in conjunction with a standard neurological assessment of concussion. A negative EyeBOX classification may correspond to eye movement that is consistent with a lack of concussion. A positive EyeBOX classification corresponds to eye movement that may be present in both patients with or without concussion.
Device Description
Oculogica's EyeBOX model EBX-4 uses eye-tracking technology and a data processing algorithm to detect subtle changes in eye movements resulting from concussion. The eye tracking task takes about 4 minutes to complete and involves watching a video move around the perimeter of an LCD monitor positioned in front of the patient while a high speed near-infrared (IR) camera, positioned just below the screen, records eye movements. The data are then analyzed to produce one or more outcome measures. The patient sits in front of the device with their head secured in a chinrest about 40 cm from the middle of the display. A face tracking camera, positioned above the screen, assists the patient and operator with proper placement of the patient by providing a second set of eye coordinates in three-dimensional space to calculate the patient's distance from the screen and the patient face's position relative to the display. The device contains a rechargeable battery, which makes it possible to use without a direct connection to an active power source. The device has Wi-Fi and Ethernet capabilities, which optionally can provide the user with the ability to send reports to a remote printer and/or file storage location.
More Information

Unknown
The description mentions a "data processing algorithm" but does not provide enough detail to confirm if it utilizes AI or ML techniques. The lack of information on training/test sets and performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML models further contributes to the uncertainty.

No
The device is intended to measure and analyze eye movements to aid in the diagnosis of concussion, not to treat or cure any condition.

Yes
The EyeBOX is intended to "aid in the diagnosis of concussion" by measuring and analyzing eye movements, directly indicating its role as a diagnostic device.

No

The device description explicitly mentions hardware components such as an LCD monitor, high speed near-infrared (IR) camera, face tracking camera, rechargeable battery, and Wi-Fi/Ethernet capabilities. The performance studies also include hardware verification and testing.

Based on the provided information, the EyeBOX is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

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, tissue) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.
  • EyeBOX Function: The EyeBOX measures and analyzes eye movements directly from the patient using a camera. It does not involve the collection or analysis of specimens taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it measures and analyzes eye movements as an aid in the diagnosis of concussion. This is a direct measurement of a physiological response, not an analysis of a biological sample.

Therefore, the EyeBOX falls under the category of a medical device that interacts directly with the patient, rather than an IVD device that analyzes samples from the patient.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The EyeBOX is intended to be used as an aid in diagnosis of concussion.

The EyeBOX is intended to measure and analyze eye movements as an aid in the diagnosis of concussion, also known as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), within one week of head injury in patients 5 through 67 years of age in conjunction with a standard neurological assessment of concussion.

A negative EyeBOX classification may correspond to eye movement that is consistent with a lack of concussion.

A positive EyeBOX classification corresponds to eye movement that may be present in both patients with or without concussion.

Device Description

Oculogica's EyeBOX model EBX-4 uses eye-tracking technology and a data processing algorithm to detect subtle changes in eye movements resulting from concussion. The eye tracking task takes about 4 minutes to complete and involves watching a video move around the perimeter of an LCD monitor positioned in front of the patient while a high speed near-infrared (IR) camera, positioned just below the screen, records eye movements. The data are then analyzed to produce one or more outcome measures.

The patient sits in front of the device with their head secured in a chinrest about 40 cm from the middle of the display. A face tracking camera, positioned above the screen, assists the patient and operator with proper placement of the patient by providing a second set of eye coordinates in three-dimensional space to calculate the patient's distance from the screen and the patient face's position relative to the display.

The device contains a rechargeable battery, which makes it possible to use without a direct connection to an active power source.

The device has Wi-Fi and Ethernet capabilities, which optionally can provide the user with the ability to send reports to a remote printer and/or file storage location.

Technological Characteristics

Oculogica's EveBOX uses eve-tracking technology and a data processing algorithm to detect subtle changes in eye movements resulting from concussion. The EyeBOX principles of operation have not changed. The principles of operation are identical to its predicate device. The technological characteristics important to device function as an aid in diagnosis of concussion are not changed; the eye tracking performance and proprietary EyeBOX algorithm, which processes the eye tracking data and outputs the BOX score, are not changed.

The following technological modifications have been implemented compared to the predicate.

  • The integrated headrest and chinrest have been removed. ●
  • . The eye tracking camera is replaced with a camera system having equivalent function.
  • Electronic components have been replaced to accommodate form factor changes.
  • Minor changes have been made to the user interface to simplify user interaction.
  • . Minor changes have been made to the EyeBOX report to assist interpretation of results.

None of the changes in technology raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. The hardware provides the same functionality as the predicate. Therefore, the safety and effectiveness of the final device is the same as the predicate. The following table presents a comparison of this submission to the predicate device.

Indications for UseThe EyeBOX is intended to measure
and analyze eye movements as an aid in
the diagnosis of concussion, also known
as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI),
within one week of head injury in
patients 5 through 67 years of age in
conjunction with a standard
neurological assessment of concussion.
A negative EyeBOX classification may

consistent with a lack of concussion.Same
Predicate DeviceSubject Device
A positive EyeBOX classification
corresponds to eye movement that may
be present in both patients with or
without concussion.
Overall form factorThe predicate device (OCL 02.5) has
two ends, one for the patient and one for
the operator. The patient end contains a
chinrest and a dedicated screen is used
to display the video stimulus to the
patient. A moveable operator console is
used by the technician to control the
device and enter data. The device's
dimensions are approximately 21" x 20"
x 26" (h, w, d) and it weighs about 34
pounds. Since it does not have an
internal battery, it must be connected to
A/C power.The EBX-4 is similar in shape to an all-in-
one PC but without a keyboard. The screen
is mounted on a pedestal that can be tilted
up or down. The device's dimensions are
approximately 19" x 12" x 8" (h, w, d) and
it weighs about 12 pounds. A separate
chinrest must be used with the device.
Because it includes a rechargeable battery,
it can be used with or without a connection
to A/C power.
BiocompatibilityThe patient's head is stabilized by the
chinrest and headrest. The user manual
instructs that an appropriate drape be
used to avoid direct patient contact, so
no biocompatibility is claimed.There is no patient contact with the
EyeBOX EBX-4, so no biocompatibility is
claimed.
Eye trackingAn IR machine vision camera operates
at 500 fps and calculates gaze
coordinates from the image data. 3-
frame smoothing (filtering) is used to
remove high frequency noise. No head
movement compensation is employed.
The eye-tracking system has a spatial
resolution of
