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
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.

The summary describes standard image acquisition, processing, and measurement techniques using SS-OCT and IR imaging. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any related concepts in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The analysis focuses on traditional statistical methods for evaluating precision and agreement.

No.
The device is described as a non-contact ophthalmic imaging and analysis device intended for visualization and measurement, and a diagnostic imaging device. There is no indication of it providing any treatment or therapy.

Yes

The "Device Description" explicitly states, "The ANTERION is a diagnostic imaging device for the eye."

No

The device description explicitly states it includes "ANTERION Hardware (Imager/Base)" which contains imaging hardware, a touch screen, and mechanical components like a joystick and stepper motor. This indicates it is a hardware device with integrated software, not a software-only medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "visualization and measurement of the anterior segment and measurement of the axial length" of the eye. This is a direct measurement and imaging of a living biological structure within the body, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The device description details hardware for imaging the eye using OCT and an infrared camera. It describes placing the patient's head in a rest and acquiring images and measurements directly from the eye.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze samples such as blood, urine, tissue, or other bodily fluids or substances in vitro (outside the body).

The ANTERION is a diagnostic imaging device used in vivo (within the living body) to assess the structure and dimensions of the eye. This falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

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.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

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 included manifest refraction, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, assessment of best-corrected 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. 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.

Key results:
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.

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. 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. 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%.

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 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.

Safety: No adverse events were reported during the clinical study.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

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 the 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

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

6

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.
