    Intended Use

    The Canon OCT-A1 is an optical coherence tomography system indicated for the in-vivo imaging and measurement of the retina, retinal nerve fiber layer, and optic disc as a tool and an aid in the diagnosis and management of retinal diseases by a clinician.

    Device Description

    The Canon OCT-A1 *- is an Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system intended for use as a non-invasive imaging device for viewing and measuring ocular tissue structures with micrometer range resolution. The OCT-A1 is a computer controlled ophthalmic imaging system. The device scans the patient's eye using a low coherence interferometer to measure the reflectivity of retinal tissue. The cross sectional retinal tissue structure is composed of a sequence of A-scans. It has a traditional patient and instrument interface like most ophthalmic devices.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's a summary of the acceptance criteria and study details for the Canon OCT-A1, based on the provided document:

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" with specific numerical targets in the context of device performance. Instead, it demonstrates substantial equivalence to a predicate device (Optovue RTVue XR OCT Avanti) by showing agreement and precision in measurements. The performance is reported in terms of mean differences and 95% Limits of Agreement (LOA) for agreement, and repeatability/reproducibility standard deviations (SD) and limits, along with Coefficient of Variation (CV%), for precision.

    The key finding for agreement is that mean differences were small, often less than 10% of the thickness, with some wide LOAs particularly in diseased eyes. For precision, the Canon OCT-A1 showed comparable or better precision than the predicate device for many parameters, especially in normal and retinal disease groups, while occasionally showing more variability in glaucoma for some FRT and ONH parameters. The differences in FRT measurements (around 25 µm) were attributed to different segmentation methodologies (inclusion/exclusion of RPE).

    Below is a summary table based on the provided data, reflecting the reported performance relative to the predicate rather than predefined absolute acceptance criteria.

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    • Sample Size for Test Set: 125 subjects, categorized into three groups:
      • Normal Subjects: 37
      • Glaucoma Subjects: 37
      • Retinal Disease Subjects: 38
      • Note: The number of evaluable eyes was "at least 99", with approximately 33 eligible subjects in each group. The tables explicitly state the N for each group as 37, 36 (for glaucoma RNFL, ONH) or 38, likely referring to the number of eyes rather than subjects for analysis.
    • Data Provenance: Prospective, comparative, randomized, single-center study conducted in the US.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    The document does not mention the use of experts to establish a "ground truth" for the test set in the traditional sense (e.g., expert consensus on diagnosis or specific measurements for comparison against the device). This study is a comparative effectiveness study against a predicate device, focusing on agreement and precision of measurements. The clinical status of subjects (normal, glaucoma, retinal disease) was determined by "existing diagnoses" or "normal eye examinations" without detailing a specific expert panel for ground truth generation for the measurements themselves. Device operators and investigators were masked to the automated results of segmentation, but not to the clinical status.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable. This was a comparative measurement study against a predicate device, not a diagnostic accuracy study requiring an adjudication method to establish ground truth labels for the test set. Clinical status for subject inclusion was based on existing diagnoses or examinations.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

    No, this was not a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study involving human readers with and without AI assistance for improved diagnosis. This study focused on the agreement and precision of quantitative measurements between the new device and a predicate device.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    Yes, this study essentially assesses the standalone performance of the Canon OCT-A1 in terms of its quantitative measurements (thickness, areas, volumes) by comparing them directly to the measurements obtained from the predicate device. The segmentation (identification of retinal layers/structures) that forms the basis of these measurements is an algorithmic function of the device, and operators were "masked to the automated results of segmentation," meaning human intervention in the segmentation itself was not part of the primary comparative analysis.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The "ground truth" in this context is the measurements obtained from the legally marketed predicate device (Optovue RTVue Avanti XR OCT). The study evaluates the Canon OCT-A1's agreement and precision relative to this predicate device, rather than against an independent, gold-standard ground truth like pathology or long-term outcomes data, for the quantitative measurements. The clinical categorization of subjects (normal, glaucoma, retinal disease) was based on clinical diagnosis, which provided the context for evaluating the device's performance across different patient populations.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document does not provide information on the sample size for the training set for the Canon OCT-A1's software or algorithms. The clinical study described is for validation/testing purposes to demonstrate substantial equivalence, not for algorithm training.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    The document does not provide information on how ground truth was established for any training set. It only describes the validation study for demonstrating substantial equivalence.
