    Device Description

    The Nidek Mirante 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 Nidek Mirante 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. The Nidek Mirante uses Fourier Domain OCT, a method that involves spectral analysis of the returned light rather than mechanic moving parts in the depth scan. Fourier Domain OCT allows scan speeds about 65 times faster than the mechanical limited Time Domain scan speeds. The Mirante utilizes Fourier spectroscopic imaging a Michelson interferometer. The interfering light of the reference light and the reflected light from the test eye obtained by the Michelson interferometer are spectrally divided by a diffraction grating and the signal is acquired by a line scan camera. The signal is inverse Fourier transformed to obtain the reflection intensity distribution in the depth direction of the patient's eve. The galvano mirror scans the imaging light in the XY direction to obtain a tomographic image. The Mirante includes scanning laser ophthalmoscope (SLO) functions as well as the OCT functions. The SLO component uses a confocal scanning system for image capture. The imaging light emitted from the laser oscillator passes through the hole mirror and enters the patient's eye. The reflected by the hole mirror and the signal is obtained by the detector. A resonant mirror and a galvanometer mirror placed in the imaging optical path scan the imaging light in the XY direction to obtain a flat surface image. The device includes Image Filing Software NAVIS-EX which is a software system intended for use to store, manage, process, measure, and display patient data and clinical information from computerized diagnostic instruments through networks. It is intended to work with compatible NIDEK ophthalmic devices.

    AI/ML Overview

    The provided documentation describes the acceptance criteria and the study results for the Nidek Mirante Scanning Laser Ophthalmoscope and the Image Filing Software NAVIS-EX.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    The acceptance criteria are implicitly defined by demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to previously cleared predicate devices through agreement and precision analyses, and superior or equivalent image quality. The performance is reported in terms of comparisons against these predicate devices.

    Nidek Mirante (OCT Component) vs. Optovue Avanti (Predicate)

    MetricAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Substantial Equivalence)Reported Device Performance (Nidek Mirante)

All parameters and populations met agreement performance goals. Disc Map Optic Disc: Lower Horizontal C/D Ratio and Vertical C/D Ratio, higher Disc Area and Cup Area (All Subjects). Similar differences for Normal, lower values for Glaucoma. All parameters and populations met agreement performance goals. Cornea Radial CCT: Higher than Avanti (around 15 µm thicker). Agreement performance goals met for All Subjects, but not met for Normal and Corneal Disease populations.

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

    • Test Set Sample Size: A total of 170 subjects were enrolled in the study.
      • 45 subjects in the Normal group
      • 46 subjects in the Glaucoma group
      • 47 subjects in the Retinal Disease group
      • 32 subjects in the Corneal Disease group
      • 167 subjects completed the study.
    • Data Provenance: Prospective, comparative clinical study conducted at one clinical site in the United States.

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

    The document mentions "Masked graders reviewing Anterior Chamber Angle (ACA) and SLO images were masked to the subject, device type, subject population, configuration order, device order and results from other graders."
    However, the number of experts/graders and their qualifications are not explicitly stated in the provided text.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    The document states: "Scan acceptability was by a 2-step process where the device operator identified acceptable scans and then an Investigator image reviews the scans making the final determination of which scans were acceptable or unacceptable." This implies a form of sequential review, with the "Investigator" making the final determination. It does not specify an adjudication method like 2+1 or 3+1 for resolving discrepancies between multiple graders for image quality assessment, as the number of graders is not mentioned. However, for "image quality" assessments (ACA and SLO), it states "The results from the 3 masked graders were documented," and uses "grader average." This suggests that if multiple graders were used, their averages were taken, rather than a formal adjudication process to resolve disagreements.

    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

    This was not a multi-reader, multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study comparing human readers with AI vs. without AI assistance. The study compared the Nidek Mirante device's performance (including image quality) to predicate devices, and involved masked graders assessing image quality, but not in the context of improving human reader performance with AI assistance.

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

    The primary purpose of the study was to assess the agreement and precision of the Nidek Mirante OCT measurements in comparison with a predicate device and to assess its image quality in comparison to predicate devices for both OCT and SLO. While precision analyses evaluate the device's inherent measurement consistency, and image quality assessment involves human graders, these do not represent a standalone "algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance" in the general sense of an AI diagnostic algorithm operating independently. The device itself is an imaging system used by humans, not an AI for diagnosis.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

    The study does not establish an independent ground truth (e.g., pathology, clinical outcomes) for the disease states. Instead, it uses comparative effectiveness against predicate devices and agreement/precision analysis for quantitative measurements and human-graded qualitative image quality. The study categorized subjects into Normal, Glaucoma, Retinal Disease, and Corneal Disease groups. This implies that the diagnosis of these disease states served as a basis for evaluating the device's performance within those groups, but the precise method of establishing these diagnoses (e.g., expert consensus, other gold-standard tests) is not detailed for the "ground truth" of the disease classification itself. The "ground truth" for the device's performance metrics appears to be the measurements and image quality of the predicate devices, or the consistency of the Mirante itself.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    The document describes a clinical study to demonstrate substantial equivalence, but it does not mention a training set sample size or the development of an AI/ML algorithm that would typically involve a separate training set. The device itself is a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and optical coherence tomography system, not inherently an AI diagnostic tool. However, the NAVIS-EX software later references a "B-scan Denoising software" which is a new function. The document mentions this function "denoises a single B-scan image to an averaged image of 120 images added," suggesting it uses a computational approach, but does not provide details of a training set for this denoising algorithm if it were an AI-based method.

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

    As no training set is explicitly mentioned for an AI/ML algorithm in the context of the Nidek Mirante device itself, the method for establishing ground truth for a training set is not applicable or described in the provided text. For the B-scan Denoising software, the mechanism is described as "averaging 120 images," which is an algorithmic process rather than a machine learning model requiring a ground-truth labeled training set in the typical sense.
