Intended Use
The Orbscan II Keratometer is intended to scan, map and display the geometry of the anterior segment of the eye.
Device Description
The Orbscan II is a non-invasive, diagnostic system that measures and displays the anterior segment geometry of the eye. The system consists of an optical head, power supply and CPU. The optical head projects light through moving slit shaped apertures, The slit images are projected onto the eye at equi-distant angles from a central optical axis. A video camera placed on the optical axis records the images of the slits as they pass over the eye. The location of each slit at each position is determined during the system calibration. During an examination, the slits are stepped across the cornea and an image of the cornea at each slit location is recorded, The CPU processes the images by using edge detection algorithms to determine the location of all of the edges the light strikes during the exam. Through direct triangulation, the elevation and curvature for the various surfaces is determined. Corneal thickness, anterior chamber depth and clevation of the iris and lens can then be determined by subtracting the surfaces. This anterior segment information is displayed graphically to a user in the form of colored maps. These maps display variations in height and thickness numerically as well as with gradations in color. The graded colors allow for easier visualization of true measurements and how they relate to elevation and thickness of the eye geometry. The maps can be displayed individually or in several combinations. They can also be customized by the user for their specific examination needs. The Orbscan operates on a Windows™ based user interface and operating system that allows for ease of operation and system control. The CPU used with the Orbscan is a standard, high-speed PC type computer. Other peripherals may include a display monitor, a mouse pointing device and a printer for hard copies of the maps, should the user desire them. To enhance repeatability, an optional placido pattern can be attached to the Orbscan. The placido pattern provides slope data for the anterior surface of the eye. The slope data obtained from using the placido pattern is combined with the elevation data as measured with triangulation. Tests on both test objects and human subjects have shown that the reproducibility has been enhanced from +/- . 005mm without the placido to +/-.003 mm with the placido pattern. The device is non-invasive and only contacts the patient on his/her chin and forehead. The other concerns for safety are the light output and electrical safety. The light output is of an evesafe intensity and wavelength. Electrical safety is provided by packaging which is compliant to accepted safety standards, and mcdically safe power sources which isolate the patient from hazardous voltages and current. The device is proven effective in incasuring the anterior geometry of the eve through internal company and independent clinical studies.
More Information

No
The description mentions "edge detection algorithms" and "direct triangulation" for processing images and determining measurements, which are traditional image processing and geometric calculation techniques, not AI/ML. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related concepts like neural networks or training data.

No.
The device is a diagnostic tool that scans, maps, and displays the geometry of the anterior segment of the eye; it does not treat or cure any condition.

Yes

The "Device Description" section states that "The Orbscan II is a non-invasive, diagnostic system that measures and displays the anterior segment geometry of the eye."

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of an optical head, power supply, and CPU, which are hardware components. The software runs on this hardware to process data from the optical head.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Orbscan II Function: The Orbscan II Keratometer is a non-invasive device that directly measures and displays the geometry of the anterior segment of the eye using light projection and image processing. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The device is a diagnostic system, but it falls under the category of in vivo diagnostic devices as it performs measurements directly on the living patient's eye.

2 The Placido Pattern provides slope data, which, when integrated with true elevation data yields better surface curvature calculations. The pattern is back illuminated with highly diffused LED light sources and is attached to the front of the Orbscan II without modification. The pattern does not come in contact with the patient and is electrically isolated for safety.

3 The power supply was originally located in the cabinet that contained the CPU. The previous location was determined to not be as safe due to the fact that computer housings are frequently accessed by nontechnical individuals. The new location allows more room for a medically approved power supply and it isolates the device from uncontrolled grounding. This arrangement also prevents un-authorized access to the device.

4 Increased computing capability allowed the ability to process the increased amount of data points. Orbscan took approximately 3-5 min to process the anterior corneal surface only. Orbscan II processes all information in less than 1 1/2 min.

Dear Mr. Calacino:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
