Intended Use
The MatchedFlicker® device is a software program that is intended for use by health care professionals to collect, store, and spatially calibrate (i.e. register and align) images of the posterior segment of the human eye.
Device Story
MatchedFlicker is digital imaging software for healthcare professionals; collects, stores, and spatially calibrates (registers/aligns) time-series images of the posterior segment of the human eye. Device aids clinicians in comparing and annotating serial mono or stereo-photographs to monitor progression of glaucoma and other retinal diseases. By aligning images, software facilitates detection of structural changes in optic nerve and retina over time, which may precede visual field loss. Output is viewed by clinicians to assist in clinical decision-making regarding disease progression. Device functions as a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) component.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Digital imaging software; functions as a Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) under 21 CFR 892.2050. Core functionality includes image registration and spatial alignment algorithms for posterior segment eye images. Operates as standalone software for image management and comparison.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by healthcare professionals to collect, store, and spatially calibrate (register and align) posterior segment eye images for monitoring disease progression, including glaucoma.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A medical image management and processing system is a device that provides one or more capabilities relating to the review and digital processing of medical images for the purposes of interpretation by a trained practitioner of disease detection, diagnosis, or patient management. The software components may provide advanced or complex image processing functions for image manipulation, enhancement, or quantification that are intended for use in the interpretation and analysis of medical images. Advanced image manipulation functions may include image segmentation, multimodality image registration, or 3D visualization. Complex quantitative functions may include semi-automated measurements or time-series measurements.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls; voluntary standards—Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) Std., Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) Std., Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) Test Pattern).

# MatchedFlicker®
Common or Usual Name: Digital Imaging Software
Classification Name: Picture Archiving & Communication System (21 CFR 892.2050. NFJ)
### Predicate Devices
- 1. NAVIS by Nidek, Inc. (K013694)
- 2. Retasure by Digital Healthcare, Inc. (K071299),
- 3. IMAGEnet by Topcon Corp (K082364)
### Intended Use:
The MatchedFlicker® device is a software program that is intended for use by health care professionals to collect, store, and spatially calibrate (i.e. register and align) images of the posterior segment of the human eye.
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence:
The MatchedFlicker® device is software to aid professionals to more easily compare and annotate time-series images of the posterior segment of the human eye for monitoring the progression of glaucoma and other diseases. Currently these analyses are performed by a side-by-side comparison of serial mono or stereo-photographs. For example, in glaucoma there are two challenges to assessing the structure of the optic nerve. The first is distinguishing between a normal and a glaucomatous optic nerve. Changes in retinal structure, which signal the advent and progression of retinal disease, can be seen in photographs much earlier than in visual field tests. The more important challenge is detecting glaucoma progression over time prior to visual field loss. The MatchedFlicker® device is an aid to photo-documentation of stereo evidence of glaucomatous (or other diseases') changes in the retina and other structures of the posterior segment over time.
MatchedFlicker® is digital imaging software regulated by FDA as a type of Picture Archiving and Communications System (21CFR 892.2050) under product code NFJ. It is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed digital imaging software. Specifically, EyeIC's MatchedFlicker® software is substantially equivalent to NAVIS manufactured by Nidek, Inc. (K013694), to Retasure manufactured by Digital Healthcare, Inc. (K071299), and to IMAGEnet manufactured by Topcon Corp (K082364).
