    The Tomey "ConfoScan" Confocal Microscope is intended for use as a diagnostic tool for looking at the cell layers of the anterior parts of the eye.

    Device Description

    The Tomey "ConfoScan" Confocal Microscope is a scanning slit microscope system that is used to carry out a visualization of the cell layers of the anterior parts of the eye. The prime attributes of a Confocal Microscope include both improved contrast and spatial resolution over more conventional microscopy. The improved image rendition is accomplished in the Tomey "ConfoScan" Confocal Microscope by the introduction conjugate scanning slits into the viewing and illuminating light paths of the microscope. By illuminating and viewing an object through restricted apertures, it is possible to eliminate the contributions of scattered light from other regions in the object plane that can degrade contrast and spatial resolution.

    The ImageScape is intended to capture, store, and manipulate digital images of the retina taken by a fundus camera.

    Device Description

    The ImageScape consists of: (1) a digital camera; (2) an imaging board; (3) a personal computer; (4) a monitor; and (5) Tomey's Windows-based image processing software. The ImageScape is used during ophthalmic procedures such as digital angiography during which the patient's retina is viewed through a slit lamp with a fundus camera. Images are transferred to the ImageScape's imaging board, located in the ImageScape's personal computer, and stored in the computer's Random Access memory ("RAM") and hard drive. As the images accumulate, the user downloads the images from the hard drive onto the computer's Jaz drive, a removable media drive, by using the computer keyboard and mouse to operate the icons.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided 510(k) summary for the Tomey Corporation's ImageScape Digital Retinal Image System (K971685) does not contain information related to specific acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets such criteria in terms of clinical performance.

    Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on:

    • Intended Use: All devices (ImageScape, DFC, Imagenet, ORIMS) are intended to capture, store, and manipulate digital images of the retina taken by a fundus camera.
    • Technological Characteristics: Similar components (e.g., Kodak MegaPlus digital camera), storage capabilities (Jaz drive, TIFF format), operating systems (Pentium chip, Windows/Macintosh), and input methods (keyboard, mouse).
    • Software Functions: Similar functions for image acquisition, analysis, storage, and retrieval, including manipulation (zoom, invert, flip, rotate, brightness/contrast, sharpen) and enhancement (shadow, edge trace, blur).
    • Operational Manner: Used by an ophthalmologist with a slit lamp and fundus camera, preparing the patient using standard ophthalmic procedures, and operating icon-driven interfaces.
    • Software Verification and Validation: A statement that "Tomey has performed the software verification and validation. The verification and validation results demonstrate that the device meets the system and software specifications and requirements."

    Therefore, many sections of your requested outline will be marked as "Not provided" or "Not applicable" based on the content of the K971685 submission. This is typical for 510(k) submissions demonstrating substantial equivalence for devices like this, where clinical performance studies are often not required if technological characteristics and intended use are similar to legally marketed predicate devices.
