The ANTERION is a non-contact ophthalmic imaging and analysis device for the eye. It is intended for visualization and measurement of the anterior segment and measurement of the axial length.
The analysis covers:
- · Cornea Thickness
- · Anterior Segment
o Anterior chamber width, depth, volume and angle parameters
o Lens Thickness - · Axial Length
The ANTERION is a diagnostic imaging device for the eye. The technology is based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) technology. The device itself has two basic component groups:
· ANTERION Hardware (Imager/Base) with integrated forehead/ chin rest: The hardware includes imaging hardware (e.g., laser, LEDs, optics, detectors, hardware for spatial encoding) as well as a touch screen.
• ANTERION Software (V.1.5) (PC): The ANTERION Software includes the main user interface. The software allows for device control, such as selection of examination(s) and imaging parameter(s). The ANTERION software provides an interface for a Medical Image Management and Processing System.
The ANTERION hardware is separated in three parts: the Base (bottom part), the Imager (top part), and the Head Rest (forehead/chin rest).
For examinations, the patient places his/her head in the forehead/chin rest. The Head Rest is mechanically and electronically connected to the Base and controlled via a joystick. Within its stand, a stepper motor with additional mechanic parts and a controller board are placed, allowing the operator to move the motorized chin rest up or down for optimally positioning the patients' eye. An external fixation light is mounted at the forehead rest.
The Base mainly contains the power supply and PC connection of the device. In the Imager, the components for scanning, signal generation, and signal processing are contained.
The operator directly accesses two software modules, which are named AQM (acquisition module) and VWM (viewing module). The AQM allows selecting between examinations. The VWM shows acquired images, parameters, and reports.
The ANTERION device contains two imaging modalities, a scanning optical coherence tomography (OCT) modality and an infrared (IR) camera. The OCT modality allows for cross-sectional imaging and biometry, while the IR camera allows for en-face imaging of a patient's eve.
The ANTERION device provides four separate software functionalities (Apps) to acquire various imaging and measurements of the anterior segment of the eye: (1) the Imaging App. (2) the Cornea App. (3) the Cataract App and (4) the Metrics App. The Cornea App provides tomographic data and measurements for the patient´s individual corneal geometry and corneal characteristics. The Cornea App provides tomographic data and parameters, such as corneal curvature and thickness. The Cataract App provides key measurements for cataract surgery planning, such as corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and axial length. The Metrics App generates OCT images and scan parameters for the anterior chamber such as anterior chamber angle and volume. The four ANTERION Apps are locked/unlocked independently by a license mechanism for each App. The software implementation of these Apps is realized within the AQM and VWM.
The following modification has been applied to the device, subject of this 510(k):
- · Addition of the Epithelial Thickness Module (separate License in the Cornea App) with maps and parameters of the corneal epithelial and stromal thickness.
To function as intended, the ANTERION must be connected to a Medical Image Management and Processing system (MIMPS) with compatible interface. To date, HEYEX 2 / HEYEX PACS is the only available MIMPS with compatible interface.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance
The document describes a comparative study, implying that the acceptance criteria for the "ANTERION" device's new Epithelial Thickness Module were based on its precision (repeatability and reproducibility) and agreement with an existing legally marketed device, the "Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 with Anterior Segment Premier Module."
The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating similar or better precision and general agreement with the predicate device across various corneal epithelial thickness measurements and patient populations.
Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Parameter | Acceptance Criteria (Implicit, based on predicate device performance) | Reported ANTERION Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Precision (Repeatability SD) | ANTERION Repeatability SD values should be similar to or better than Cirrus HD-OCT 5000. (Cirrus repeatability SD range 0.67 µm to 2.01 µm, and 7mm Zone range 1.34 µm to 2.87 µm, for all populations and subgroups) | ANTERION repeatability SD values ranged 0.59 µm to 1.59 µm (except 7mm Zone parameters: 1.49 µm to 2.32 µm). Generally lower than Cirrus. |
| Precision (Reproducibility SD) | ANTERION Reproducibility SD values should be similar to or better than Cirrus HD-OCT 5000. (Cirrus reproducibility SD range 0.76 µm to 2.24 µm, and 7mm Zone range 1.34 µm to 2.87 µm, for all populations and subgroups) | ANTERION reproducibility SD values ranged 0.59 µm to 1.81 µm (except 7mm Zone parameters: 1.64 µm to 2.48 µm). Generally lower than Cirrus. |
| Precision (CV%) | ANTERION CV% should be similar to or better than Cirrus HD-OCT 5000. (Cirrus CV% range 1-5%, with Keratoconus Eyes up to 5.04%) | Most ANTERION CV%s were within or around 1-4% (range 0.90% to 3.47%, except Keratoconus Eyes up to 3.82%). Generally similar or better than Cirrus. |
| Agreement (Limits of Agreement & Deming Regression) | General agreement between ANTERION and Cirrus HD-OCT 5000, demonstrated by Limits of Agreement and Deming Regression Coefficients (95%CI for intercept including 0 and 95%CI for slope including 1). | General agreement shown, though ANTERION exhibited systematically slightly thicker measurements (mean difference 1.3 µm to 5.1 µm thicker). Deming Regression 95%CI for intercept included 0 and for slope included 1 for most parameters, with exceptions in certain subgroups. |
| Acquisition Acceptability Rate | Not explicitly stated as an acceptance criterion, but performance was measured. | Higher for ANTERION (83.0%) than Cirrus (66.3%) for all eyes. |
| Safety | No adverse events related to the device. | No adverse events reported. |
Study Details:
-
Sample sizes used for the test set and data provenance:
- Total Subjects: 115 subjects
- 32 in Normal Cornea population (Group A)
- 82 in Abnormal Cornea population (Group B), further divided into:
- 25 Keratoconus subgroup
- 20 Contact Lens Wearer subgroup
- 18 Status Post-Keratorefractive Surgery subgroup
- 19 Dry Eye Disease subgroup
- Data from 32 Group A and 81 Group B participants were included in precision analyses.
- Data from 32 Group A and 80 Group B participants were included in agreement analyses.
- Provenance: Prospective, randomized precision and agreement clinical study conducted at one diverse clinical site in the United States.
- Scans per parameter/population: Vary (e.g., 285 scans for most Normal Cornea parameters, 725 for most Abnormal Cornea parameters). Each participant had 3 replicates per acquisition type, per configuration from three device-operator configurations.
- Total Subjects: 115 subjects
-
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- This study does not establish ground truth using experts in the traditional sense (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). Instead, it's a comparative effectiveness study where the ANTERION device's measurements are compared to those of a legally marketed predicate device (CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000). The "ground truth" implicitly refers to the measurements obtained by the predicate device, or rather, the comparison is made between the measurements of the two devices, not against an external expert-derived truth. Expertise was involved in operating the devices and assessing image quality by the operator, but not in establishing a separate "ground truth" for the measurements themselves.
-
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not explicitly stated for the test set measurements. The study design involved "three replicates per acquisition type, per configuration" and "image quality was assessed by the operator after each acquisition." This suggests that the operators evaluated the quality of the individual scans, but there is no mention of an independent adjudication process for the actual thickness measurements or a consensus method for defining "ground truth" between multiple readers.
-
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:
- This was a comparative effectiveness study involving multiple operators ("three operators") and multiple cases (115 subjects / ~114 study eyes). However, it was not an MRMC study focused on human reader improvement with/without AI assistance. This study compared measurements from one device (ANTERION) to another (CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000) for precision and agreement. The "ANTERION" device is an ophthalmic imaging and analysis device, and while it has "Apps" that perform analysis, the study focuses on the device's measurement performance rather than an AI component assisting human readers in diagnosis.
- Therefore, there is no effect size reported regarding human readers improving with/without AI assistance in this context.
-
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the loop performance) was done:
- Yes, the study primarily evaluates the standalone performance of the ANTERION device's measurement capabilities (specifically the Epithelial Thickness Module) against a predicate device. While human operators collected the images, the reported precision (repeatability and reproducibility) and agreement data are quantifications of the device's algorithmic measurement outputs. The "Cornea App" and its Epithelial Thickness Module perform the thickness calculations.
-
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc):
- The study uses the measurements from a legally marketed predicate device (CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000) as the reference for comparison, rather than an independent "ground truth" like pathology or expert consensus. The aim is to show that the new device's measurements are sufficiently precise and agree with those from an established device.
-
The sample size for the training set:
- The document does not provide information on the training set for the ANTERION device's algorithms. The study described is entirely focused on the clinical performance testing (test set) of the device.
-
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- As no information on the training set is provided, how its "ground truth" was established is also not available in this document.

The analysis covers:
- · Cornea Thickness
- · Anterior Segment
- o Anterior chamber width, depth, volume and angle parameters o Lens Thickness

GENERAL DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The ANTERION is a diagnostic imaging device for the eye. The technology is based on swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) technology. The device itself has two basic component groups:
· ANTERION Hardware (Imager/Base) with integrated forehead/ chin rest: The hardware includes imaging hardware (e.g., laser, LEDs, optics, detectors, hardware for spatial encoding) as well as a touch screen.
• ANTERION Software (V.1.5) (PC): The ANTERION Software includes the main user interface. The software allows for device control, such as selection of examination(s) and imaging parameter(s). The ANTERION software provides an interface for a Medical Image Management and Processing System.
The ANTERION hardware is separated in three parts: the Base (bottom part), the Imager (top part), and the Head Rest (forehead/chin rest).
For examinations, the patient places his/her head in the forehead/chin rest. The Head Rest is mechanically and electronically connected to the Base and controlled via a joystick. Within its stand, a stepper motor with additional mechanic parts and a controller board are placed, allowing the operator to move the motorized chin rest up or down for optimally positioning the patients' eye. An external fixation light is mounted at the forehead rest.
The Base mainly contains the power supply and PC connection of the device. In the Imager, the components for scanning, signal generation, and signal processing are contained.
The operator directly accesses two software modules, which are named AQM (acquisition module) and VWM (viewing module). The AQM allows selecting between examinations. The VWM shows acquired images, parameters, and reports.
The ANTERION device contains two imaging modalities, a scanning optical coherence tomography (OCT) modality and an infrared (IR) camera. The OCT modality allows for cross-sectional imaging and biometry, while the IR camera allows

for en-face imaging of a patient's eve.
The ANTERION device provides four separate software functionalities (Apps) to acquire various imaging and measurements of the anterior segment of the eye: (1) the Imaging App. (2) the Cornea App. (3) the Cataract App and (4) the Metrics App. The Cornea App provides tomographic data and measurements for the patient´s individual corneal geometry and corneal characteristics. The Cornea App provides tomographic data and parameters, such as corneal curvature and thickness. The Cataract App provides key measurements for cataract surgery planning, such as corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and axial length. The Metrics App generates OCT images and scan parameters for the anterior chamber such as anterior chamber angle and volume. The four ANTERION Apps are locked/unlocked independently by a license mechanism for each App. The software implementation of these Apps is realized within the AQM and VWM.
The following modification has been applied to the device, subject of this 510(k):
- · Addition of the Epithelial Thickness Module (separate License in the Cornea App) with maps and parameters of the corneal epithelial and stromal thickness.
To function as intended, the ANTERION must be connected to a Medical Image Management and Processing system (MIMPS) with compatible interface. To date, HEYEX 2 / HEYEX PACS is the only available MIMPS with compatible interface.
COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN THE SUBJECT AND THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The predicate ANTERION (K230897) and the subject ANTERION do not share identical technological characteristics. However, the differences in design are marginal and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The software of both devices, the predicate ANTERION (K230897) and the subject ANTERION, includes all available imaging functions (Imaging App, Cornea App, Cataract App, Metrics App) which are locked/ unlocked independently by a license mechanism for each App. The main difference between both devices is a software modification which provides measurements of the epithelial and stromal thickness in the Cornea App for the subject device. This change, i.e. the addition of the Epithelial Thickness Module, doesn't change the data acquisition process, the intended use/ indications for use or the used imaging technologies (OCT, IR camera) of ANTERION. Regarding the hardware, only maintenance changes regarding assembling processes were implemented for the subject device which have no impact on the technology and performance of the ANTERION.

NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
Software documentation was provided, and software verification and validation was conducted as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices."
Documentation regarding cybersecurity was submitted as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions" and an overall risk assessment regarding security and safety of the device was conducted due to ISO 14971:2019.
Bench verification testing was conducted to demonstrate OCT spatial performance, device sensitivity, depth attenuation and performance of auxiliary functions. The device met all pre-determined acceptance criteria.
Tests for electrical safety (IEC 60601-1:2020) and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1- 2:2020 and IEC TR 60601-4-2: 2016) were performed with ANTERION and passed the relevant requirements of the applied standards.
Laser safety testing for the light sources used in ANTERION was submitted in the previous ANTERION 510(k) K230897 and showed that the requirements according to FDA recognized standards IEC-60825- 1:2007 and ANSI Z80.36:2016 were fulfilled. The test results are still valid for the subject ANTERION.
Biocompatibility of the device was previously demonstrated by cytotoxicity testing, skin sensitization testing and chemical analysis according to ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2021 and ISO 10993-18:2005, respectively, and supported by biocompatibility assessment according to 10993-1:2018. The test results remain valid for the subject ANTERION.
CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
B-2020-1 was a prospective, randomized precision and agreement clinical study conducted at one diverse clinical site, located in the United States. In the study, the investigational ANTERION device (Cornea App with Epithelial Thickness Module) was compared with Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 with Anterior Segment Premier Module (K181534). For Protocol B-2020-1, eligible participants age 22 or older were assigned to one of two groups: eyes with normal cornea (Group A), eyes with abnormal cornea (Group B). Participants in the eyes with abnormal cornea population had at least one eye with at least one of the following: keratoconus, contact lens wearer, status postkeratorefractive surgery and/or dry eye disease. One eye of each study subject was enrolled. Eyes enrolled in the study that met all inclusion criteria and did not meet any exclusion criteria were assigned to the corresponding subject population and subgroup. Any enrolled subject that did not meet inclusion/exclusion criteria was screen failed. A baseline eye examination that
{9}------------------------------------------------
included manifest refraction, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, assessment of bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA), OSDI score, Keratograph, tonometry was performed to verify eligibility. One eye per participant was randomly selected as the study eye. Three ANTERION and three CIRRUS 5000 HD-OCT devices were used. These six instruments were paired with three operators to form three device-operator configurations. All participants were imaged repeatedly on all three configurations. Three replicates per acquisition type, per configuration were obtained from each participant. The order of imaging by configuration and device order within configuration were randomized. Image quality was assessed by the operator after each acquisition. Image quality assessment of CIRRUS images were performed consistent with the CIRRUS instructions for use. Repeatability and reproducibility of measurements were estimated using a two-way, random-effects analysis of variance (ANOVA) model. Agreement was characterized using Bland-Altman and Deming regression analyses.
The analysis population of this study included 115 subjects: thirty-two (32) in the Normal Cornea population and eighty-two (82) in the Abnormal Cornea population which include; twenty-five (25) in the Keratoconus subgroup, twenty (20) in the Contact Lens Wearer subgroup, eighteen (18) in the Status Post-Keratorefractive Surgery subgroup, and nineteen (19) in the Dry Eye Disease subgroup. One eye was not allocated to a group before screen failure. Data from 32 Group A participants and 81 Group B participants were included in the precision analyses, respectively. Data from 32 Group A and 80 Group B participants were included in the agreement analyses, respectively. The mean age in the safety population was 46.3 ± 15.7 years overall (mean 41.6±15.4 years in Group A, 48.2±15.5 years in Group B). 63.2% (72/114) were women (62.5% [20/32] Group A, 63.4% [52/82] Group B). 91.2% (104/114) were Caucasian (93.8% [30/32] in Group A, 90.2% [74/82] in Group B), 6.1% (7/114) were Black/African American (6.3% [2/32] Group A, 6.1% [5/82] Group B), 4.4% (5/114) were Asian (9.4% [3/32] Group A, 2.4% [2/82] Group B). 11.4% (13/114) were Hispanic/Latino (12.5% [4/32] Group A, 11.0% [9/82] Group B). Demographics are similar for the Precision Analysis Population and the Agreement Analysis Population. There were no adverse events related to this study.

All statistics are estimated (REML) from two-way random-effect ANOVA model with random effects operator/device, eye and interaction between operator/device and eye. Per study protocol, each operator had a maximum number of 9 attempts to acquire 3 acceptable scans (i.e., theoretically, 3 repeated scans from each of the 3 operator device pairs for a total of 9 scans for each study eye). In the study, 31 Normal Cornea population study eyes had 3 acceptable scans from each of the 3 operator'device pairs, and one study eye had 6 acceptable scans (one pair did not have any acceptable scans). Therefore, a total of 9 × 31 + 6 × 1 = 285 scans were included in the analysis for all parameters, except for 6-7 mm Ring Average which had missing values for two acceptable scans (i.e., 285 - 2 = 283).

All statistics are estimated (REML) from two-way random-effect ANOVA model with random effects operator/device, eye and interaction between operator/device and eye. Per study protocol, each operator had a maximum number of 9 attempts to acquire 3 acceptable scans (i.e., theoretically, 3 repeated scans from each of the 3 operator device pairs for a total of 9 scans for each study eye). In the study, all 20 Contact Lens Wearer population study eyes had 3 acceptable scans from each of the 3 operator/device pairs. Therefore, a total of 9 × 20 = 180 scans were included in the analysis for all parameters, except for 6-7 mm Ring Average which had missing values from two acceptable scans (i.e., 180 - 2 = 178).

B-2020-1 Summary
This study was performed to assess the repeatability and reproducibility of the corneal epithelial thickness parameters of the Heidelberg Engineering ANTERION with Cornea App and compare to those derived from the Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 with Anterior Segment Premier Module. In addition, the agreement of the corneal epithelial thickness parameters between the ANTERION and the Zeiss Cirrus 5000 with Anterior Segment Premium Module was assessed.
Rates of acquisition acceptability, as determined by the investigator/operator, were higher for ANTERION Cornea App acquisitions (83.0%) than Cirrus Pachymetry Scans (66.3%) for all eyes. These acceptance rates were similar between the Normal Cornea Eyes and Abnormal Cornea Eyes populations, for both devices.
The repeatability and reproducibility results summarized as SD ratio (i.e., ANTERION SD/Cirrus SD) and analyzed by CV% generally demonstrate similar or better precision on ANTERION than Cirrus for both the Normal Cornea Eyes and Abnormal Cornea Eyes populations.
The agreement results summarized as Limits of Agreement and Deming Regression Coefficient demonstrated general agreement between ANTERION and Cirrus for both the Normal Cornea Eyes and Abnormal Cornea Eyes populations.
Precision
For all populations and subgroups, ANTERION repeatability SD values ranged 0.59um to 1.59um, and reproducibility SD values ranged 0.59um to 1.81um, except in the 7mm Zone parameters (ranges for repeatability from 1.49µm to 2.32um and for reproducibility from 1.64um to 2.48um).
Comparing to Cirrus, the ANTERION SD values were generally lower (Cirrus repeatability SD range 0.67 um to 2.01 um, reproducibility SD range 0.76 um to 2.24µm, and 7mm Zone range 1.34µm to 2.87µm) for all populations and subgroups.
The repeatability and reproducibility results summarized as SD ratio plots generally demonstrate similar or better precision on ANTERION for both the Normal Cornea Eyes and the Abnormal Cornea Eyes populations. It should be noted that the SD ratio plot findings for the Abnormal Cornea Eyes population applied to all subgroups except the Contact Lens Wearer subgroup. Although a majority of the Contact Lens Wearer subgroup SD ratios were larger than 1-

indicating that Cirrus generally showed better precision in this subaroup- the SD values for ANTERION remained small (repeatability SD values ranged 0.71um to 1.23µm and reproducibility SD values ranged 1.02µm to 1.78µm, except 7mm Zone Minimum and Maximum for which repeatability SD values were 1.55µm and 1.96µm, respectively, and reproducibility SD values were 1.74 m and 2.37 µm, respectively) and comparable to the other subgroups.
The precision results for CV% also generally demonstrate similar or better precision on ANTERION as compared to Cirrus for both the Normal Cornea Eyes and the Abnormal Cornea Eyes populations, with most CV%s for ANTERION within or around 1-4% (range 0.90% to 3.47% for all populations and subgroups except Keratoconus Eyes which ranged up to 3.82%), and most CV%s for Cirrus within or around 1-5% (range 1.29% to 3.63% for all populations and subgroups except Keratoconus Eyes which ranged up to 5.04%). For both devices, the few larger CV%s were typically found for outer zone measurements (7mm Zone Minimum and Maximum).
The CV% results in the outer regions were in general larger compared to the central regions. This finding was observed for both the ANTERION and Cirrus and across all populations/subgroups.
The precision analysis for the areas measured by ANTERION only (i.e., 2-4mm, 4-6mm and 6-7mm Ring Average, 7mm Zone Average, and 2-7mm Superior and Inferior) showed similar standard deviations and CV%s to measurements obtained from the areas measured by both instruments in all populations.
Agreement
ANTERION was observed to measure, in general, slightly thicker values for corneal epithelial thickness compared to the Cirrus for both populations (mean difference 1.3um to 5.1µm thicker). For the 7mm Zone Minimum and Maximum, the differences between ANTERION and Cirrus are larger than those of other parameters. Nevertheless, for Deming Regression of all parameters, the 95%Cl for intercept included 0 and the 95%CI for slope included 1 for all populations and subgroups with exceptions for a few specific parameters in the Keratoconus Eyes, Post Keratorefractive Surgery Eyes and Dry Eye Disease subgroups.
The thicker measurements produced by ANTERION appear to be systematic in nature, where this finding was consistently present for all populations and subgroups with the largest differences found in the Keratoconus Eyes subgroup (1.1µm to 6.7µm thicker) and the smallest differences found in the
{26}------------------------------------------------
Dry Eye Disease subgroup (0.4um to 3.9um thicker). This is corroborated by the literature where similar devices from different manufacturers-ANTERION, Avanti and MS-39-were compared for agreement in corneal epithelial thickness measurement and systematic differences were also found. Systematic measurement differences may be attributable to the different measurement strategies and technologies between devices (e.g. ANTERION Cornea App acquires 65 radial scans whereas Cirrus Pachymetry scan acquires 24 radial scans). Due to such device-specific differences, corneal epithelial thickness measurements should not be considered interchangeable.
Similarly to the above discussion of precision analysis for the 7mm Zone parameters, the relatively wider confidence intervals observed in the agreement analysis of 7mm Zone Minimum and Maximum may also be due to the method in which the measurement is produced, i.e. where a single datapoint (minimum or maximum) is obtained from within a large measurement area.
With respect to agreement between devices with a difference in scan patterns, as these single datapoints may not be obtained from the same location, larger differences between devices can occur versus parameters obtained via averaging of many datapoints.
Safety
The secondary objective of this study was to evaluate safety of the ANTERION. No adverse events were reported during the clinical study, thus demonstrating the ANTERION is safe for the intended use.
CONCLUSION
ANTERION (with software version 1.5) has the same intended use/ indications for use, and the same data acquisition modes used by the legally marketed ANTERION (K230897) predicate device identified in this premarket notification. The technological characteristics of the subject ANTERION differ from those of the predicate device, however, the differences do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Results of the non-clinical performance testing demonstrate that the ANTERION with software V.1.5 functions as intended. Results of the clinical performance testing illustrate that ANTERION's ability to measure parameters of corneal epithelial thickness is similar to CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000. ANTERION was observed to systematically measure slightly thicker values for corneal epithelial thickness compared to the Cirrus. These systematic measurement differences may be attributed to the different measurement strategies and

technologies between devices. Patients should be monitored over time with the same device. Measurements are not interchangeable between devices.
The study results support substantial equivalence of ANTERION and the CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000 in regard to corneal epithelial thickness parameter measurements. The non-clinical and clinical performance testing demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well or better than the legally marketed predicate.
