Nerve Fiber Indicator (NFI)
Not specified
The ECC algorithm generated a lower atypical scan rate than the VCC algorithm and the ECC algorithm compensated for the anterior segment birefringence better than the VCC algorithm.
251 normal subjects (18-82 years old) for normative database; 215 subjects with early, moderate, and late stage glaucoma for NFI training. Two-thirds of the normal and glaucoma study eyes were used as the model building subset.
One-third of the normal and glaucoma study eyes (from the 251 normal and 215 glaucoma subjects) were used for model validation.
Intended Use
The GDx is a confocal polarimetric scanning laser ophthalmoscope that is intended for imaging and three-dimensional analysis of the fundus and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in vivo. The GDx and its GDx Variable Corneal Compensation (VCC) and GDx Enhanced Corneal Compensation (ECC) RNFL Normative Databases aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders of the eye that may cause changes in the polarimetric retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. The GDx is to be used in patients who may have an optic neuropathy.
Device Story
Confocal polarimetric scanning laser ophthalmoscope; utilizes polarized light to measure retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. System comprises opto-mechanical scanning laser head and computer. Operates via Scanning Laser Polarimetry (SLP) to generate 3D fundus images and RNFL thickness maps. Used by clinicians to aid diagnosis and monitoring of optic neuropathies. Enhanced Corneal Compensation (ECC) algorithm improves birefringence compensation compared to Variable Corneal Compensation (VCC). Output provides quantitative RNFL data and Nerve Fiber Indicator (NFI) scores to assist clinical decision-making regarding disease progression. Benefits include improved diagnostic accuracy for glaucoma and other optic neuropathies.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study at ten sites; 251 subjects (ages 18-82) used to create ECC normative database. 215 subjects with early, moderate, and late-stage glaucoma used to train and validate the Nerve Fiber Indicator (NFI). Results showed ECC and VCC algorithms correlated well; ECC algorithm demonstrated lower atypical scan rates and superior compensation for anterior segment birefringence compared to VCC.
Technological Characteristics
Confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope; opto-mechanical scanning laser head; polarized light source; computer-based processing. Employs Scanning Laser Polarimetry (SLP). Software includes ECC and VCC algorithms for corneal birefringence compensation.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients who may have an optic neuropathy, requiring imaging and 3D analysis of the fundus and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) to aid in diagnosis and monitoring of eye diseases causing changes in RNFL thickness.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

## SECTION 5.
### INTENDED USE
The GDx is a confocal polarimetric scanning laser ophthalmoscope that is intended for imaging and three-dimensional analysis of the fundus and retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) in vivo. The GDx and its GDx Variable Corneal Compensation (VCC) and GDx Enhanced Corneal Compensation (ECC) RNFL Normative Databases aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of diseases and disorders of the eye that may cause changes in the polarimetric retinal nerve fiber layer thickness. The GDx is to be used in patients who may have an optic neuropathy.
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The GDx with ECC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Normative Database is a confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscope comprising an opto-mechanical scanning laser head unit and a computer. The device employs Scanning Laser Polarimetry (SLP) to measure the Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer (RNFL) thickness using polarized light.
#### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The GDx with ECC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Normative Database is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices identified previously. The GDx with ECC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Normative Database is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regards to intended use, operating principle, function, and materials.
Clinical evaluation performed on the GDx supports the expanded indications for use statement and demonstrates the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and does not raise new questions regarding safety and effectiveness with respect to ophthalmoscopes.
#### CLINICAL EVALUATION
A clinical study was conducted at ten sites to gather data for the ECC normative database, to train the nerve fiber indicator (NFI), and to compare two GDx algorithms, variable corneal compensation (VCC) and enhanced corneal compensation (ECC).
The GDx ECC RNFL thickness normative database was created using GDx ECC scan data from 251 subjects. 18 to 82 years of age, who were deemed representative of the normal population. The normative database has an even distribution of right and left eves, as well as gender, and has a wide representation of the general population with regard to refractive error, intraocular pressure, axial length, corneal curvature and thickness measurement spectrum.
Data from 215 subjects with early, moderate and late stage glaucoma were also collected for the purpose of training the ECC NFI. Two-thirds of the normal and
{2}------------------------------------------------
## SECTION 5.
glaucoma study eyes were randomly selected by statistical programs as the model building subset for the development of the ECC NFI. The other one-third of the study eyes was used for model validation.
Results revealed that the ECC and VCC algorithms correlated well, and their ability to measure the RNFL thickness was similar. The ECC algorithm generated a lower atypical scan rate than the VCC algorithm and the ECC algorithm compensated for the anterior segment birefringence better than the VCC algorithm.
#### SUMMARY
As described in this 510(k) Summary, all testing deemed necessary was conducted on the GDx with ECC Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Database to ensure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use when used in accordance with its Instructions for Use.
