The VIO System is intended to acquire, store, retrieve, display and transfer in vivo images of tissue - including blood vessels, collagen, pigment, stratum corneum, hair shafts or follicles, solar elastosis, atypia, and epidermal disarray - in and through epidermis for review by physicians to assist in forming a clinical judgment. Physicians who interpret VIO System images must have dermatology medical qualifications with skin histology assessment training.
The VIO System (REF V-1000) is a light-based in vivo microscope intended to provide images of skin tissue for review by physicians to assist in forming a clinical judgment. The device does not provide image analysis or diagnostic information. The VIO System uses a handheld reflectance confocal and multiphoton microscope that contacts the skin and optically scans at a depth where most skin conditions originate, without disrupting the tissue. The VIO System delivers low power laser light of a single wavelength (780 nm infrared, Class 1M) into the skin in brief pulses. The resulting signals are acquired while imaging the skin and each signal is assigned to one of four (4) channels: RCM (Reflectance Confocal Microscopy), SHG (Second Harmonic Generation), 2PS (2-Photon Autofluorescence Short), and 2PL (2-Photon Autofluorescence Long). For each image capture, the VIO System combines the four (4) channels to display a single, multi-color image on the VIO System, referred to as "Tetrachrome™." Three (3) view modes are accessible to the user on the VIO System: Standard View, Superficial Zoom, and Deep Zoom. Acquired images are not stored on nor analyzed by the VIO System. The images are saved on a USB flash drive, which is used to transfer images to a commercially available DICOM viewer for interpretation by a physician.
The provided 510(k) summary for the Enspectra VIO System (K232789) outlines the device's acceptance criteria and the clinical study conducted to validate its performance.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The summary states: "The effectiveness endpoint for the study was achieved as the results demonstrated overall >90% agreement between each Blinded Reader VIO image assessment and the answer key developed from the Comparative Reader validation assessment." This indicates that the acceptance criterion was >90% agreement.
| Feature/Region | Acceptance Criteria | Reported Blinded Reader Accuracy (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|
| None/Epidermis | >90% Agreement | 96.0% (93.6% to 97.7%) |
| Pigmented cell/Epidermis | >90% Agreement | 93.5% (87.1% to 97.4%) |
| None/Dermis | >90% Agreement | 100% (91.0% to 100%) |
| Collagen/Dermis | >90% Agreement | 98.3% (96.7% to 99.3%) |
| Pigmented cell/Dermis | >90% Agreement | 95.6% (89.0% to 98.8%) |
| Blood vessel/Dermis | >90% Agreement | 87.2% (77.7% to 93.7%) |
| Feature | ||
| Stratum corneum | >90% Agreement | 99.2% (97.1% to 99.9%) |
| Hair shaft or follicle | >90% Agreement | 97.8% (88.2% to 99.9%) |
| Solar elastosis | >90% Agreement | 99.1% (95.1% to 100%) |
| Hyperkeratosis | >90% Agreement | 100% (92.1% to 100%) |
| Atypia | >90% Agreement | 95.6% (84.9% to 99.5%) |
| Epidermal disarray | >90% Agreement | 100% (88.4% to 100%) |
Note: While the overall effectiveness endpoint states >90% agreement, the "Blood vessel/Dermis" accuracy is 87.2% (77.7% to 93.7%). This specific feature's lower bound of the CI falls below 90%, but the report concludes that the "effectiveness endpoint... was achieved as the results demonstrated overall >90% agreement." This suggests that the overall average agreement across all features met the criteria, even if individual feature performance varied.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance
- Sample Size for Test Set: The study was conducted with N=65 participants. Participants were randomly assigned to either a Training Set or a Testing Set. The exact number of participants solely in the testing set is not explicitly stated as a specific number (e.g., "N=X for test set"). However, it's implied that the "Blinded Readers" were tested on images derived from this N=65 participant pool.
- Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data. The study involved imaging skin lesions on adults (18 years and above) with Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-V, located on the head, neck, limbs, and torso. It is a prospective study as the VIO System was used to image participants during the study.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- Number of Experts for Ground Truth: N=3 Comparative Readers were used to develop the answer key (ground truth) for the test set.
- Qualifications of Experts: The Comparative Readers were physicians, and their role involved "validating VIO images against ground truth pathology." The text also states that "Physicians who interpret VIO System images must have dermatology medical qualifications with skin histology assessment training." It's reasonable to infer that the Comparative Readers held these qualifications.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
The ground truth was established by "N=3 Comparative Readers developed consensus training materials, then developed an answer key by validating VIO images against ground truth pathology." This implies an expert consensus method among the 3 comparative readers to establish the answer key. The specific adjudication rule (e.g., majority vote, or discussion until agreement) is not detailed, but it's clearly a consensus-based approach rather than simple averaging or individual reading.
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
There is no mention of an MRMC comparative effectiveness study where human readers were compared with and without AI assistance. The study focuses purely on the performance of human readers (Blinded Readers) interpreting VIO images against a ground truth established by other human experts (Comparative Readers). The VIO System itself does not provide image analysis or diagnostic information; it generates images for physician review. Therefore, it's not an AI-assisted interpretation system in the sense of providing a computer-driven initial read or aiding diagnosis.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
No standalone algorithm performance was done/reported. The device description explicitly states: "The device does not provide image analysis or diagnostic information." The VIO System is an image acquisition device; the interpretation is performed by physicians.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
The ground truth for the test set was established by expert consensus of 3 Comparative Readers, validated against pathology. Specifically: "...developed an answer key by validating VIO images against ground truth pathology." This indicates that pathology results served as the definitive reference standard, interpreted and applied to the VIO images by the expert readers.
8. The sample size for the training set
The study involved N=65 participants, randomly assigned to either a Training Set or Testing Set. The exact number of participants specifically in the training set is not explicitly stated as a specific number. However, the N=3 Comparative Readers "developed consensus training materials" which implies a portion of the N=65 dataset was used for this training.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
The ground truth for the training set was established by the N=3 Comparative Readers who "developed consensus training materials, then developed an answer key by validating VIO images against ground truth pathology." This suggests a similar process to the test set ground truth, involving expert consensus and correlation with pathology.

{5}------------------------------------------------
DEVICE DESCRIPTION D.
The VIO System (REF V-1000) is a light-based in vivo microscope intended to provide images of skin tissue for review by physicians to assist in forming a clinical judgment. The device does not provide image analysis or diagnostic information. The VIO System uses a handheld reflectance confocal and multiphoton microscope that contacts the skin and optically scans at a depth where most skin conditions originate, without disrupting the tissue.
The VIO System delivers low power laser light of a single wavelength (780 nm infrared, Class 1M) into the skin in brief pulses. The resulting signals are acquired while imaging the skin and each signal is assigned to one of four (4) channels:
| Channel | Description | NominalWavelength | Created primarily by |
|---|---|---|---|
| RCM | Reflectance ConfocalMicroscopy | 780 nm | Pigment and cellularmembranes |
| SHG | Second Harmonic Generation | 390 nm | Collagen |
| 2PS | 2-Photon AutofluorescenceShort | 450 nm | Cytoplasmic molecules andkeratin |
| 2PL | 2-Photon Autofluorescence Long | 650 nm | Elastin and melanin |
For each image capture, the VIO System combines the four (4) channels to display a single, multi-color image on the VIO System, referred to as "Tetrachrome™." Three (3) view modes are accessible to the user on the VIO System:
| View Mode | Nominal Width | Nominal Depth | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard View | 0.4 mm | 0.3 mm | Complete area of scan |
| Superficial Zoom | 0.13 mm | 0.1 mm | Upper, center area of scan |
| Deep Zoom | 0.13 mm | 0.15 mm | Lower, center area of scan |
The view modes and vertical cross-sectional orientation of each image are comparable to the view through a standard light microscope of a physical glass slide using the 20x to 40x magnification setting.
Acquired images are not stored on nor analyzed by the VIO System. The images are saved on a USB flash drive, which is used to transfer images to a commercially available DICOM viewer for interpretation by a physician. For each image capture, the following files are produced:
{6}------------------------------------------------
| DICOM Label | File Type | Color |
|---|---|---|
| RGB (Red Green Blue) | DICOM, PNG | Tetrachrome (color composite) |
| RCM | DICOM | Grayscale |
| SHG | DICOM | Grayscale |
| 2PS | DICOM | Grayscale |
| 2PL | DICOM | Grayscale |
The VIO System has two (2) accessories, the VIO Imaging Cover (REF V-1100) and the VIO Targeting Sticker (REF V-1200). Both the VIO Imaging Cover and the VIO Targeting Sticker are single use accessories that are discarded after each use. Both accessories are provided nonsterile.
E. INTENDED USE/INDICATIONS FOR USE
The VIO System and the predicate device have the same intended use; both are in vivo microscopes that use reflected light to capture images of the skin. The VIO System has the following indications for use:
The VIO System is intended to acquire, store, retrieve, display and transfer in vivo images of tissue – including blood vessels, collagen, pigment, stratum corneum, hair shafts or follicles, solar elastosis, hyperkeratosis, atypia, and epidermal disarray – in and through epidermis for review by physicians to assist in forming a clinical judgment. Physicians who interpret VIO System images must have dermatology or pathology medical qualifications with skin histology assessment training.
The predicate device is intended to acquire, store, retrieve, display and transfer in vivo images of tissue, including blood, collagen and pigment, in exposed unstained epithelium and the supporting stroma. The differences in indications for use statements do not substantially modify the clinical information provided or the risk. The intended use to produce in vivo images of skin is the same between the subject and predicate devices.
F. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices is the use of reflected light to capture in vivo images of the skin. The subject and predicate devices use the following same technological elements:
- Single-point laser scanning Reflectance Confocal Microscopy (RCM) optical technology
- Illumination of unstained skin with near infrared wavelength and average power <35 mW
{7}------------------------------------------------
- Class 1M imaging laser
- Presentation of digital images with cellular detail
- DICOM image output
The differences in technological characteristics between the VIO System and the predicate device are:
- . Optical Technology: The VIO System utilizes Multiphoton Microscopy (MPM) in addition to RCM to take in vivo pictures of skin.
- . Image Presentation: The VIO System displays images in a vertical cross-sectional orientation in order to align orientation with traditional histopathology slides. The predicate device displays images in a horizontal orientation.
- . Physical Design and Data Workflow: The VIO System is physically smaller and more flexible than the predicate device and has different patient contacting materials. The VIO System uses a USB flash drive to transfer data to a commercial DICOM viewer, while the predicate device is internet enabled with an embedded viewer.
PERFORMANCE DATA G.
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
Non-Clinical Performance Data
Non-clinical design verification and validation activities were completed for the VIO System based on risk analysis assessments and product requirements. Testing included verification and validation of specifications related to safety, usability, software, and performance, including the following:
- Electrical safety per ANSI AAMI ES60601-1:2005 +A1:2012 +A2:2021
- EMC per IEC 60601-1-2 Ed. 4.1
- Laser safety per IEC 60825-1 Ed 3.0
- Biological risk assessment per ISO 10993-1:2018
- Human factors assessment per IEC 62366-1:2015/Amd1:2020
- . Software lifecycle management including software testing per IEC 62304 Ed 1.1
- Benchtop system imaging performance
Non-clinical performance testing confirmed that the VIO System met the predetermined acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the VIO System is safe and effective for its intended use. Non-clinical performance testing demonstrated that the differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
{8}------------------------------------------------
Clinical Performance Data
A clinical study was conducted with N=65 participants to validation of tissue structures by physicians to assist in forming a clinical judgment. In the study, the VIO System was used to image adults (18 years old and above) with Fitzpatrick Skin Type I-V, on skin lesions located on the head, neck, limbs, and torso.
Participants were randomly assigned to either a Training Set or Testing Set. N=3 Comparative Readers developed consensus training materials, then developed an answer key by validating VIO images against ground truth pathology. N=3 Blinded Readers (with dermatology or pathology medical qualifications and skin histology assessment training) were trained from Comparative Reader training materials, then tested on their ability to identify labeled structures in VIO images. The Blinded Reader performance test results are summarized in Table 1.
| Feature/Region | Blinded Reader Accuracy (95% CI) |
|---|---|
| None/Epidermis | 96.0% (93.6% to 97.7%) |
| Pigmented cell/Epidermis | 93.5% (87.1% to 97.4%) |
| None/Dermis | 100% (91.0% to 100%) |
| Collagen/Dermis | 98.3% (96.7% to 99.3%) |
| Pigmented cell/Dermis | 95.6% (89.0% to 98.8%) |
| Blood vessel/Dermis | 87.2% (77.7% to 93.7%) |
| Feature | |
| Stratum corneum | 99.2% (97.1% to 99.9%) |
| Hair shaft or follicle | 97.8% (88.2% to 99.9%) |
| Solar elastosis | 99.1% (95.1% to 100%) |
| Hyperkeratosis | 100% (92.1% to 100%) |
| Atypia | 95.6% (84.9% to 99.5%) |
| Epidermal disarray | 100% (88.4% to 100%) |
Table 1. VIO Svstem clinical performance test results
The safety endpoint for the study was assessed: no adverse events were reported during the study. The effectiveness endpoint for the study was achieved as the results demonstrated overall >90% agreement between each Blinded Reader VIO image assessment and the answer key developed from the Comparative Reader validation assessment. The secondary endpoint of >90% inter-reader agreement was also achieved.
Clinical performance testing confirmed that the VIO System met the predetermined acceptance criteria and demonstrated that the VIO System is safe and effective for its intended use. Clinical performance testing demonstrated that the differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
{9}------------------------------------------------
CONCLUSION H.
The subject device and the predicate devices are both light-based in vivo microscopes. The VIO System has the same intended use and similar indications for use compared to the predicate device. In addition to single-photon excitation similar to the predicate device, the subject device also includes two-photon excitation to produce its images. The results of performance testing confirm that the VIO System functions pursuant to its specifications and intended use and exhibits the appropriate characteristics of a light-based in vivo microscope. Performance testing demonstrated that the differences between the subject and predicate devices do not raise new types of questions regarding safety and effectiveness. Thus, the VIO System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the VivaScope System (Caliber Imaging & Diagnostics, K180162).
