Device Story
SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT combines confocal laser-scanning ophthalmoscope (cSLO) and spectral-domain optical coherence tomographer (SD-OCT). Inputs: reflectance images (blue, green, infrared), angiography (fluorescein, indocyanine green), and OCT cross-sectional/volume scans. Operation: cSLO acquires fundus/angiography images; SD-OCT uses infrared superluminescent diode and spectral interferometer for cross-sectional imaging. Output: 2D/3D images and ocular anatomy measurements. Used in clinics; operated by eye care professionals. Flex Module enables supine imaging for adults/pediatrics. Software (v7.4) processes data, including eye tracking (TruTrack) and Glaucoma Module Premium Edition (GMPE) for thickness analysis. Output aids clinicians in diagnosing/monitoring ocular diseases. Benefits: non-invasive visualization and quantitative assessment of retinal structures.
Clinical Evidence
Prospective, randomized precision/agreement study (S-2018-2) of 73 participants (Normal, Retinal Disease, Glaucoma). Compared SPECTRALIS macular parameters to Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 and manual segmentation. Primary endpoints: agreement (LoA) and precision (repeatability/reproducibility CV%). SPECTRALIS precision (CV% < 2.8% for GCL+IPL) was generally better than Cirrus. Mean differences in thickness measurements were consistent with literature and explained by device-specific grid/segmentation definitions. No device-related adverse events.

# SPECTRALIS with Flex Module
The SPECTRALIS with Flex Module is a non-contact ophthalmic diagnostic imaging device intended to aid in the visualization of the posterior segment structures of the eye and vasculature of the retina and choroid. SPECTRALIS with Flex Module is intended for imaging of adults and pediatric patients in supine position.
# GENERAL DEVICE DESCRIPTION
This 510(k) submission bundles the following SPECTRALIS devices:
1) SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants (lastly cleared in K250868) and
2) SPECTRALIS with Flex Module (cleared in K241163).
The SPECTRALIS is an OCT ophthalmic imaging device with two configurations: a tabletop configuration, where the SPECTRALIS is placed on a fixed instrumentation mount (SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants, K250868) and a mobile configuration, where the SPECTRALIS is placed on a mobile instrumentation mount to enable imaging in the supine position (SPECTRALIS with Flex Module, K241163). Both "SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants" and "SPECTRALIS with Flex Module" share the same HRA and OCT technologies and use the same SPECTRALIS software.
The SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT device is a combination of a confocal laser-scanning ophthalmoscope (cSLO, the HRA portion) and a spectral-domain optical coherence tomographer (SD-OCT). The confocal laser-scanning part of the device allows for acquisition of reflectance images (with blue, green or infrared light), conventional angiography images (using fluorescein or indocyanine green dye) and autofluorescence images. The different imaging modes can be used either alone or simultaneously. The SD-OCT part of the device acquires cross-sectional and volume images, together with an HRA cSLO image.
A blue laser is used for fluorescein angiography, autofluorescence imaging, and blue reflectance imaging, and two infrared lasers are used for indocyanine green angiography and infrared reflectance imaging. A green laser is used for MultiColor imaging ("composite color images"). MultiColor imaging is the simultaneous acquisition of infrared, green and blue reflectance images that can be viewed separately or as a composite color image. For SD-OCT imaging, an infrared superluminescent diode and a spectral interferometer are used to create the cross-sectional images.
This submission includes device modifications which are either applicable to both SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants and SPECTRALIS with Flex Module, or only to one of the two device configurations. The subject software version, applicable for both SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants and SPECTRALIS with Flex Module is Version 7.4.

# NON-CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
Software documentation was provided, and software verification and validation were conducted as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions."
Documentation regarding cybersecurity was submitted as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions" and an overall risk assessment regarding security and safety of the device was conducted due to ISO 14971:2019.
Tests for electrical safety (IEC 60601-1:2020) and electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1- 2:2020 and IEC TR 60601-4-2: 2016) were performed with SPECTRALIS with Flex Module and/ or with SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants and passed the relevant requirements of the applied standards.
Laser safety testing for the light sources used in the SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants and in SPECTRALIS with Flex Module was previously provided and showed that the requirements according to FDA recognized standard ANSI Z80.36:2021 were fulfilled. The test results remain valid for the subject devices.
Biocompatibility of the tabletop SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants was previously demonstrated by cytotoxicity testing, skin sensitization testing and chemical analysis according to ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2021 and ISO 10993-18:2005, respectively, and supported by biocompatibility assessment according to 10993-1:2018. The test results remain valid for the subject tabletop SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants.
# CLINICAL PERFORMANCE TESTING
(Applicable for the subject SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants only)
One prospective, randomized precision and agreement study (S-2018-2) was conducted at one clinical site in the United States to assess the agreement of the macular parameters of the (tabletop) Heidelberg Engineering SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT with Glaucoma Module Premium Edition compared to those derived from the Zeiss Cirrus HD-OCT 5000, or for parameters not provided by the Cirrus, to manual segmentation of the SPECTRALIS acquisitions by an independent reading center. In addition, the repeatability and reproducibility of the macular parameters were assessed for both the SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and the Cirrus and compared for parameters available on both devices.
There were three study populations—Normal eyes population (without ocular pathology), eyes with Retinal Disease population, and eyes with Glaucoma population. Participants aged 22 years or older who met eligibility criteria in at least one eye were assigned to an eye population, randomized and underwent study imaging on each of three SPECTRALIS and three Cirrus devices by three operators, where each operator was paired with one SPECTRALIS device and one Cirrus device to form three

ENGINEERING
configurations. For all eye populations, the scan patterns acquired on the study eye from each device for analysis were the SPECTRALIS PPoleH, and the Cirrus Macular Cube 200 x 200. Imaging was attempted until a minimum of three acceptable study scans had been acquired for each device, per configuration, or until a maximum of nine (9) attempts had been reached. The follow-up registration feature was not used for either study device.
In cases where the automated segmentation boundaries needed to be corrected, this was done by the clinical site with the segmentation tools as per each device's user manual.
To validate the SPECTRALIS macular parameters not provided by the Cirrus, three independent graders from the Boston Image Reading Center (BIRC) manually segmented the NFL, GCL, and IPL boundaries on the first acceptable SPECTRALIS PPoleH scan for the Normal and Glaucoma populations.
Of the 86 participants enrolled, 74 participants met all eligibility criteria in at least one eye and were randomized and scanned. The precision analysis population consisted of 73 participants: 25 Normal eyes, 24 eyes with Retinal Disease and 24 eyes with Glaucoma. The agreement analysis population consisted of 72 participants: 24 Normal eyes, 24 eyes with Retinal Disease and 24 eyes with Glaucoma.
The study included 60.8% male and 39.2% female participants. The mean age was 57.3 ± 16.6 years overall, with the Retinal Disease and Glaucoma eye population participants being older. A majority (66.2%) were not Hispanic or Latino, 44.6% were Black/African American and 41.9% were Caucasian; all other race distributions were less than ten percent.
Rates of scan acquisition acceptability, as determined by the site, were better for SPECTRALIS than Cirrus for all three eye populations (Normal, 95.6% vs 92.9%; Retinal Disease, 89.8% vs 68.1%; Glaucoma, 92.9% vs. 84.6%).
## Agreement
For Normal eyes and Glaucoma eyes, the GCL+IPL thickness via Macular Grid was thicker on the SPECTRALIS than the Cirrus, which is a systematic difference attributable to the SPECTRALIS having a smaller grid. The thicker measurements from SPECTRALIS' Macular Grid can arise from averaging values from the thicker tissue surrounding the fovea, while the larger Cirrus grid encompasses the same area but also includes retinal tissue more peripherally, which is typically thinner, leading to lower average thicknesses. In the current study, the mean difference between SPECTRALIS and Cirrus in Normal eyes ranged from 6.3 to 10.5μm (mean GCL+IPL thickness SPECTRALIS 90.1 vs Cirrus 81.4μm for Global value) and the mean difference in eyes with Glaucoma ranged from 1.3 to 8.6μm (mean GCL+IPL thickness SPECTRALIS 70.1 vs Cirrus 64.8μm for Global value).
The mean measurements of TRT via ETDRS Grid from SPECTRALIS were thicker than those from the Cirrus for all three eye populations (Normal, Retinal Disease, and Glaucoma), as expected, primarily due to the different definitions of TRT between devices (SPECTRALIS measures TRT as [ILM-BM] and Cirrus measures [ILM-RPE]).

HEIDELBERG ENGINEERING
The mean difference between SPECTRALIS and Cirrus in Normal eyes ranged from 16.3 to 22.2μm, in eyes with Retinal Disease ranged from 13.0 to 17.7μm, and in eyes with Glaucoma ranged from 15.0 to 17.4μm. The mean ETDRS Grid TRT (1mm Central sector) measurements obtained in the study for SPECTRALIS and Cirrus, respectively, were 267.5 vs 251.1μm in Normal eyes, 271.7 vs 257.2μm in eyes with Retinal Disease, and 249.7 vs 234.7μm in eyes with Glaucoma. These mean differences found were fairly consistent between eye populations and comparable to the differences expected based on the available literature.
Presented in Figure 1 below is a summary of the limits of agreement results and the corresponding 95% CIs of the lower LoA and upper LoA for the parameters compared between SPECTRALIS and Cirrus. Note that the difference is calculated as SPECTRALIS – Cirrus, where positive differences indicate that SPECTRALIS measures thicker. Due to such device-specific differences, retinal thickness measurements should not be considered interchangeable.
In comparisons of the SPECTRALIS measurements to the average measurement via manual segmentation by three independent graders, Macular Grid NFL, GCL, IPL and GCC (i.e., NFL+GCL+IPL) thickness each measured either slightly thinner or thicker on SPECTRALIS by ≤ 4.2μm (as determined by mean difference, where NFL was thinner, GCL was thinner, IPL was thicker in Normal, IPL was thinner in Glaucoma, and GCC was thinner). Agreement results are summarized in Figures 2 and 3 below. These results are reasonable considering the SPECTRALIS' axial resolution of 7μm optically and 3.9μm digitally.

# Precision
For Macular Grid GCL+IPL measurements, repeatability and reproducibility CV%s were better on SPECTRALIS than on Cirrus and were all < 2.8% on SPECTRALIS in all sectors and populations. For ETDRS Grid TRT measurements, repeatability and reproducibility CV%s were generally better on SPECTRALIS than on Cirrus and was < 2% on SPECTRALIS in all sectors and for all eye populations, except in the 1mm Central sector in eyes with Retinal Disease. The results suggest that SPECTRALIS' precision is generally similar or better compared to Cirrus for measurement of GCL+IPL thickness in the Macular Grid and TRT in the ETDRS Grid in all populations evaluated.
Of the remaining parameters measured using the Macular Grid on SPECTRALIS only, NFL had worse precision CV%s (≤ 7.601%) compared to other layers (GCL ≤ 4.797%, IPL ≤ 3.384%) as it was the thinnest layer evaluated; and for GCC [NFL+GCL+IPL], all repeatability and reproducibility CV%s were < 2.3%. Additionally, repeatability and reproducibility CV%s for TRT as measured via Macular Grid were all < 1% in all sectors and both eye populations evaluated. The results suggest that SPECTRALIS' precision is reasonable for these macular parameters, in both Normal eyes and eyes with Glaucoma.
SPECTRALIS and Cirrus precision results for repeatability and reproducibility are presented below in Table 1 for Macular Grid GCL+IPL and ETDRS Grid TRT.

# Safety
There was one adverse event that occurred during the course of the study, which was determined not to be related to the study devices as the participant was never scanned.
# CONCLUSION
The subject SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants and the SPECTRALIS with Flex Module (software version 7.4) each have the same intended use, indications for use, and fundamental technological characteristics as their respective legally marketed predicate devices (K250868, K241163). The software and mechanical modifications described herein do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Based on the clinical study results, in which the tabletop SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT was compared to the reference device, the CIRRUS HD-OCT 5000 (K150977), and to manual segmentation of SPECTRALIS acquisitions for parameters unique to the SPECTRALIS device, it can be concluded that the subject SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and its variants perform similarly to the reference device for measurement of macular layer thicknesses. For macular parameters provided by both devices, the results showed reasonable agreement with some systematic differences between devices that can be explained by grid size and layer segmentation differences. SPECTRALIS had generally similar or better precision as compared to Cirrus. Measurements are not interchangeable between different devices. Patients should be monitored with the same device model over time. For macular parameters provided by SPECTRALIS only, the results showed general agreement compared to manual segmentation results and reasonable precision values.
The study results support the substantial equivalence of the subject SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants to the predicate SPECTRALIS HRA+OCT and variants (K250868).
