Indications for Use

KOWA FM-600 is an instrument to measure the protein level contained in aqueous humor of the anterior chamber of human eye.

Device Story

KOWA FM-600 is a non-invasive flare photometry device used to assess anterior chamber protein levels. The device consists of a measurement unit (laser source, photo receiver, CCD camera), an operating unit (monitor, photon intensity analyzer, printer), and a power supply. During operation, the device directs a 635nm laser diode into the anterior chamber; scattered light is detected by a photo receiver. The system transforms detected photon intensity into a quantitative flare value (PC/ms). It is used in clinical settings by eye care professionals. The output, displayed on a monitor and printable, provides objective data on anterior segment inflammation, aiding clinicians in diagnosis and monitoring of ocular conditions. The device benefits patients by providing a non-invasive, repeatable, and reproducible method for quantifying inflammation without requiring invasive sampling.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance was evaluated using Bovine albumin solution (BSA) as a protein model. Repeatability (1.5% SD) and reproducibility (4% SD) were determined according to ISO 5725-1 and ISO 5725-2. A linear relationship between flare value and BSA concentration was established up to 4000 mg/dL (R-squared 0.993). Correlation and Bland-Altman analysis confirmed performance equivalency to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Single-function laser flare photometer. 635nm laser diode source; infrared LED illumination. CCD camera for observation. Measurement volume 0.3 x 0.5 mm2. Precision <5% at 80 photon counts/ms. Safety tested per ISO15004-2:2007, IEC60825-1:2007, and IEC60601-1:1988.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the quantitative measurement of protein levels in the aqueous humor of the anterior chamber of the human eye.

Laser flare cell meter FC-1000 manufactured by Kowa, 501(k)# K880920. ## Device description: KOWA FM-600, here after refer to as FM-600, is a noninyasive flare photometry device that is able to assess anterior protein level quantitatively. FM-600 consists of three units, Measurement unit, Operating unit and Power supply unit. The measurement unit is contained optical system including Laser, photo receiver and CCD camera for observation. The operating unit is contained Observation monitor. Analyzer of detected photon intensity, printer for output and migratory mechanism of the units. The power supply unit is contained Power unit. ## Intended use: KOWA FM-600 is an instrument to measure the protein level contained in aqueous humor of the anterior chamber of human eve. ## Technical characteristics: Kowa FM-600 is a single-function device of laser flare measurement. Kowa FM-600 and the predicate devices have similar technological characteristics for flare measurement. The flare measurement volume in anterior chamber, measurement aperture and laser intensity at the patient eye are same characteristics of the predicate devices. {1}------------------------------------------------ The light sources of FM-600 are used a laser source for flare measurement and LED light for illumination to observe the measurement area. The laser light source wavelength is almost same to the predicate device. The light source for illumination is different type of the predicate device. To evaluate safety, tests based on optical hazard standards, ISO15004-2: 2007, IEC60825-1: 2007, and IEC60601-1: 1988 and related amendments, are performed and it is confirmed in equivalent level of safety to the predicate devices. According to ISO5725-1 and ISO5725-2. repeatability and reproducibility are evaluated. and are obtained 1.5% for repeatability and 4% for reproducibility in standard deviation. The results are shown in Table Al. Relation of flare value and using Bovine albumin solution, BSA, is shown in Figure A1. #### Precision: The precision is defined by standard deviation of measurement value built in calibrator of FM-600. This calibrator has a reflection ability of 80 photon counts per millisecond. The precision of FM-600 is less than 5% at 80 photon counts per millisecond. Image /page/1/Figure/6 description: The figure is a plot of flare value in PC/ms versus BSA concentration in mg/dL. The x-axis ranges from 0 to 10000, and the y-axis ranges from 0 to 500. The plot shows a linear relationship between flare value and BSA concentration up to approximately 4000 mg/dL, with the equation y = 0.126x + 4.720 and an R-squared value of 0.993. Beyond 4000 mg/dL, the flare value plateaus around 400 PC/ms. ## FIGURE A1. RELATION OF FLARE VALUE AND BSA CONCENTRATION In figure, solid line is a linearity regression line calculated by the data up to 2000mg/dL in concentration. Briefly conversion factor is 100mg/dL equal to 13 photon count/millisecond. Error bar indicates standard deviation. The standard deviation is estimated measurements taken on the same albumin sample using different three instruments, including repeatability (in PC/ms). Measurement is performed 10 repeating at one concentration of BSA Kowa Company, Ltd., KOWA FM-600 1 {2}------------------------------------------------ | BSA concentration<br>[mg/dL] | Mean flare values<br>[PC/ms] | Repeatability*<br>[PC/ms] | Reproducibility**<br>[PC/ms] | |------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------------|------------------------------| | 2000 | 248.69 | 4.15 | 11.27 | | 1000 | 144.28 | 2.57 | 4.00 | | 500 | 77.49 | 1.51 | 2.73 | | 250 | 37.52 | 1.09 | 2.19 | | 125 | 18.97 | 0.80 | 1.07 | | 62.5 | 10.30 | 0.53 | 0.94 | | 31.3 | 5.03 | 0.29 | 0.65 | | 15.6 | 2.93 | 0.56 | 0.53 | | 0 (HBSS) | 0.96 | 0.33 | 0.32 | TABLE A1.
