Intended Use
The Optronics EPIC System is intended for use as an accessory to a slit lamp biomicroscope, providing enhanced imaging of the eye for opthalmic examination, diagnosis, treatment definition and clarification, and patient education/proof of treatment need
Device Description
The Optronics EPIC System consists of a camera and a video processor. The camera consists of a camera head with eyepiece and beamsplitter and an integral cable for electronic transmission of signals and power. The camera head consists of an outer aluminum shell housing the video sensor and optical elements. The cable is permanently attached to the camera head and connects to the processor. The processor consists of a finished aluminum housing containing the power supply, circuit boards, and interconnections necessary to process the video image.

No
The summary describes a camera and video processor for image enhancement, but there is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The "image processing" mentioned is likely standard digital signal processing for image quality.

No.
The "Intended Use" states that the device is for "enhanced imaging of the eye for ophthalmic examination, diagnosis, treatment definition and clarification, and patient education/proof of treatment need," which are diagnostic and procedural support functions, not therapeutic.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the system is intended for "diagnosis."

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a camera and a video processor, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "enhanced imaging of the eye for opthalmic examination, diagnosis, treatment definition and clarification, and patient education/proof of treatment need." This describes a device used for in vivo examination of the eye, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a camera and video processor designed to attach to a slit lamp biomicroscope, which is used for direct examination of the eye.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "eye," which is an in vivo site.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Optronics EPIC System is an ophthalmic imaging accessory used for direct examination of the eye, not an IVD.

Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The Optronics EPIC is equivalent to the Haag-Streit 900 BQ and 900 BM with respect to their intended uses. We believe, however, that the EPIC provides the practitioner with greater flexibility and ease of use by combining the biomicroscope interface and carnera into a 10X eyepiece which utilizes a 50/50 beam splitter to allow simultaneous viewing both on the video monitor and through the eyepiece. For a comparison of video system performance, please refer to the following table.
