The moorFLPI Full-Field Laser Perfusion Imager is intended for blood flow measurements in the microcirculation. This device is intended for clinical research use.
Device Story
The moorFLPI performs non-contact imaging of tissue blood perfusion in the microcirculation. It illuminates tissue with a diverging infrared laser beam, creating a laser speckle pattern captured by a CCD camera. The device uses speckle contrast analysis to process video data, where high perfusion causes rapid speckle variation (low contrast/blurring) and low perfusion causes stable speckle (high contrast). The system generates color-coded perfusion maps at video rates (25 frames/second). Used in clinical research settings, the device is operated by researchers to assess superficial blood flow. By providing real-time, full-field imaging, it reduces the impact of temporal perfusion variations compared to scanning-based systems. The device is a Class 1 laser product, enhancing safety for patients and operators.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using a simple flow model and comparative image scans of skin blood flow against the predicate device (moorLDI2-IR). Results indicate substantially equivalent performance for superficial blood flow measurements within the specified range and imaging area. Device also tested for compliance with electrical safety, laser radiation safety (IEC 60825-1:2001), electromagnetic compatibility, and programmable medical device standards.
Technological Characteristics
Infrared laser source (Class 1, IEC 60825-1:2001); CCD camera imaging; PC-based image processing. Principle: Speckle contrast analysis (quantifies flux based on speckle pattern blurring). Full-field illumination via diverging beam. Connectivity: PC-based video data acquisition. Software: Perfusion mapping algorithm.
Indications for Use
Indicated for blood flow measurements in the microcirculation for clinical research purposes.

#### Description of the Device 7.1
The moorFLPI is a device to perform non-contact imaging of tissue blood perfusion in the microcirculation, for example skin, using speckle contrast analysis. The tissue surface is illuminated with a diverging infra-red laser beam resulting in a laser speckle pattern. The pattern is imaged by a CCD camera and image processing of the speckle contrast is used to generate colour code images of the tissue blood perfusion in the microcirculation.
#### 7.2 Intended Use
The moorFLPI Full-Field Laser Perfusion Imager is intended for blood flow measurements in the microcirculation. This device is intended for clinical research use.
#### 7.3 Technological Characteristics
Tissue is illuminated by floodlighting with a diverging infra-red laser beam. The tissue is imaged with a CCD camera and video data is acquired by a PC. Image processing software on the PC is used to generate colour-coded maps of tissue perfusion. The image processing software uses the fact that high perfusion produces rapid variation in the laser speckle pattern, which is integrated by the CCD to produce an area of low contrast (seen as blurring of the speckle pattern in the video image). Conversely, low perfusion causes little variation in the speckle pattern and as a result a high contrast area of well-defined speckle is produced in the video image. Contrast is quantified and the resulting flux is colour-coded to produce a perfusion image.
The moorFLPI uses a large diameter diverging laser beam to illuminate an area of tissue and measures tissue perfusion at all points in the image simultaneously, hence the "Full-Field" designation in the device name. The predicate device uses a collimated laser beam to sequentially illuminate very small areas of tissue and generates images by scanning the beam in a raster pattern. These differences in the means to capture a single frame image mean that the moorFLPI is able to generate images more rapidly than the predicate device. The moorFLPI records images at video rates (25 frames/second) and the moorLDI2-IR takes approximately 2 minutes to record a single 'frame' 100x150 pixel blood flow image. The effect of possible temporal variations in tissue perfusion recorded with the moorFLPI are therefore greatly reduced.
The moorFLPI uses a diverging infrared laser beam and is classified as a Class 1 laser product (IEC 60825-1:2001). Class 1 laser products are generally regarded as nonhazardous to the eye and skin and protective eyewear is not required to be worn by the operator or patient. The predicate device uses a collimated laser beam of the same wavelength and is classified as a Class 3R laser product (IEC60825-1:2001) and as such is potentially harmful to the eye. The lower laser classification of the moorFLPI provides an increased level of safety compared with the predicate device.
The moorFLPI and the moorLDI2-IR both measure tissue perfusion by making use of the Doppler frequency shifts that result from coherent laser light being scattered
{2}------------------------------------------------
from moving red blood cells. The moorFLPI measurement of blood perfusion depends on analysing the speckle pattern contrast that results from interference between the Doppler shifted laser light and the laser light scattered from the tissue in which the blood is moving, whereas the moorLDI2-IR measurement of blood perfusion depends on direct measurements of the Doppler frequency shifts. The speckle pattern contrast is generated mainly by laser light scattered from the superficial layers of tissue. Detected light coming from deeper regions e.g. from underlying veins, is of low intensity and contributes little to the recorded light intensity. Flow in veins that are more than a mm or so below the surface are not imaged by the moorFLPI; however because the moorLDI2-IR is measuring the Doppler frequency shifts and calculates blood flow from the first moment of the integrated power spectral density of the detected photocurrent, (i.e. the frequency weighted power spectral density), it records not only the blood flow in the superficial tissue layers but also the faster flow in underlying veins.
Both the moorFLPI and the moorLDI2-IR can be used to image flow in small blood vessels exposed during open surgery.
#### 7.4 Performance Data
In order to evaluate the performance of the moorFLPI Full-Field Laser Perfusion Imager, and determine its substantial equivalence to the predicate device (moorLDI2-IR), a set of comparison tests has been carried out. These include measurements from a simple flow model and single point and image scans from blood flow in skin, using both devices. The results show that the moorFLPI, within its specified range for flow measurements and area of tissue that can be imaged, has substantially the same performance as the predicate device for measurements of superficial blood flow.
The moorFLPI Full-Field Laser Perfusion Imager has been designed and tested for compliance with the standards for electrical safety, laser radiation safety, electromagnetic compatibility and programmable medical device.
# 7.5 Conclusions
From the description of the technological characteristics and the performance data, it can be concluded that the moorFLPI Full-Field Laser Perfusion Imager is substantial equivalence to the predicate device moorLDI2-IR laser Doppler imager in terms of effectiveness and safety.
