For the measurement of the topographical surface of the cornea using rasterstereographic imaging techniques.
Device Description
The Silon Topomat device provides a convenient method of imaging the surface of the cornea with existing corneal topography apparatuses while avoiding the use of dves and wetting agents. The Silon Topomat device consists of a hydrophobic silicone-based membrane. It can accurately contour to irregular surfaces, closely following even minute topographical features. The membrane is fixed within two couplings as to provide a rigid ring structure in the form of a "drum-head" of approximately 13 millimeters in diameter. The ring has a gripping tab on one edge to facilitate handling and serve as an orientation reference. The membrane is applied against the surface of the cornea, and an accurate topographic image is obtained directly from the distal surface of the membrane using videokeratographic or rasterstereographic imaging techniques.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical properties and application of a silicone membrane for corneal imaging, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing or analysis.

No
The device is described as measuring the topographical surface of the cornea for imaging purposes, not for treating or rehabilitating a medical condition.

No

The device is described as assisting in the measurement of the topographical surface of the cornea by providing a membrane for imaging. It is an auxiliary device that facilitates imaging, rather than directly performing a diagnostic function itself by analyzing data or identifying conditions. Its predicate devices are wound dressings and contact lenses, which are not diagnostic devices.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a hydrophobic silicone-based membrane fixed within two couplings, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The Silon Topomat device is applied directly to the surface of the cornea (an anatomical site on the body) to obtain an image. It does not involve the collection or analysis of a biological specimen like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • The intended use is for measuring the topographical surface of the cornea. This is a physical measurement of the eye's shape, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • The device description focuses on its physical properties and how it interacts with the cornea and imaging equipment. It doesn't mention any reagents, assays, or procedures for analyzing biological materials.

Therefore, the Silon Topomat device falls under the category of a medical device used for imaging and measurement, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

BIOCOMPATIBILITY SUMMARY

The Silon membrane passes the Tripartite Biocompatibility Guidance for Medical Devices as prepared by the Toxicology Sub-group of the Tripartite Sub-Committee on Medical Devices (September 1986) as related to external devices contacting breached surfaces for short durations. The tests were performed by an FDA registered independent testing company (Toxicon Corporation of Woburn, MA). The data can be summarized as follows:

TestResultsToxicon Reference
Kligman MaximizationNon-sensitizing (0% sensitization)91G-0388
Primary Dermal IrritationNon-irritant (PDII = 0)91G-0387
HemolysisNon-hemolytic (2.0 %)90G-0670
Agarose Overlay CytotoxicityNo cytopathic effects (grade 0)90G-0669
MEM CytotoxicityNon-cytotoxic (grade 0)90G-0668

Bio Med Sciences has taken the following position relative to the use of the proposed materials:

    1. The Silon membrane material is the corneal contacting surface of the device, and therefore is the material of interest with respect to biocompatibility.
    1. In all biocompatibility tests conducted to date, the Silon membrane has never induced a negative biological response.
    1. The Silon membrane is presently used for woundcare applications wherein it is in direct contact with de-epithelialized tissue for up to 10 days.
    1. The device is only used intermittently for short periods, and therefore is not subject to more rigorous biocompatibility requirements.
    1. Although not in direct contact with the patient, the polyethylene ring and the opacifying agent are known to be generally regarded as safe and are both sterilizable by the EtO method.
