Indications for Use
The ImageScape is intended to be used to capture, store and manipulate digital images of the retina taken by fundus camera.
Device Story
ImageScape is an AC-powered ophthalmic digital imaging system used in clinical settings by ophthalmologists. It interfaces with a fundus camera via a C-Mount to capture retinal images. Input signals are transferred to an internal imaging board within a Pentium Pro PC. The system uses Windows 95-based software to process, store, and retrieve images without data compression. Ophthalmologists operate the system using a keyboard and mouse to manipulate images (zoom, invert, flip, rotate, adjust brightness/contrast, sharpen, shadow, edge trace, blur). Output includes on-screen viewing, printing, and archiving to removable Jaz drives. The device assists clinical decision-making by allowing practitioners to analyze and document retinal conditions through image comparison, auto-alignment, and animation features.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, software verification, and validation demonstrating that the device meets system and software specifications.
Technological Characteristics
System includes digital camera, imaging board, Pentium Pro PC, monitor, and Windows-based software. Connectivity via C-Mount to fundus camera. Storage on hard drive and removable 1GB Jaz drive. Image processing functions include zoom, invert, flip, rotate, brightness/contrast adjustment, sharpening, shadow, edge trace, and blur. Software is icon-driven.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by ophthalmologists to capture, store, and manipulate digital retinal images obtained via fundus camera during ophthalmic procedures such as digital angiography.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ophthalmic camera is an AC-powered device intended to take photographs of the eye and the surrounding area.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a photorefractor or a general-use ophthalmic camera, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9.

### Substantial Equivalence
Tomey's ImageScape, Ophthalmic Imaging Systems DFC, Topcon's Imagenet, and Midwest Ophthalmic Instruments ORIMS have the same intended use: to capture, store, and manipulate digital images of the retina taken by a fundus camera. The ImageScape, DFC, Imagenet, and ORIMS digital imaging systems also have substantially equivalent technological characteristics. For instance, the ImageScape and DFC both are supplied with the same Kodak MegaPlus digital camera and 1 gigabyte Jaz drive, and also store the files in a TIFF file format.
The ImageScape and the predicate devices are all operated using personal computers with keyboards and a hand-operated mouse. The ImageScape, DFC, and Imagenet use Pentium chip-based personal computers with Windows-based software. The ImageScape and DFC also have similar storage capabilities and monitors. Minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness because the ImageScape's storage capabilities are superior to the DFC's storage capabilities and do not affect the imaging capabilities of the device.
The ImageScape and the predicate devices have the same software functions: image acquisition, analysis, storage, and retrieval. The ImageScape and ORIMS software have almost identical functions because the ImageScape software was developed to have many of the same functions. The principal difference between the software is the operating system. The ImageScape is based on the Windows 95 operating system and the ORIMS is based on the Macintosh operating system. This difference does not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness because both systems are icon-driven systems in which the user clicks a mouse on an icon to perform a task. Furthermore, Tomey has performed the software verification and validation. The verification and validation results demonstrate that the device meets the system and software specifications and requirements.
Tomey's ImageScape and the predicate devices are operated in the same manner. The ophthalmologist views the patient's retina through a slit lamp and uses a fundus camera with a digital camera mounted on a C-Mount to capture, store, and manipulate retinal images. The patient is prepared for retinal imaging in accordance with standard ophthalmic procedures and the ophthalmologist operates the joystick to send images to the digital camera in the same manner. For the Tomey System and the predicates, images are captured and manipulated using icon-driven computer interfaces. The systems software for the various devices also permit the ophthalmologist to print images, view images on the monitor, and archive the images on a removable media drive.

# Performance Characteristics
The ImageScape consists of: (1) a digital camera; (2) an imaging board; (3) a personal computer; (4) a monitor; and (5) Tomey's Windows-based image processing software. The ImageScape is used during ophthalmic procedures such as digital angiography during which the patient's retina is viewed through a slit lamp with a fundus camera. Images are transferred to the ImageScape's imaging board, located in the ImageScape's personal computer, and stored in the computer's Random Access memory ("RAM") and hard drive. As the images accumulate, the user downloads the images from the hard drive onto the computer's Jaz drive, a removable media drive, by using the computer keyboard and mouse to operate the icons.
After downloading the images to the Jaz drive, the ophthalmologist can then continue to capture more retinal images or process the images already captured and downloaded on the Jaz drive. To further process the images with the ImageScape software, the ophthalmologist operates the keyboard or mouse. As the software is Windows 95-based, the ophthalmologist can click icons to perform the functions, described in more detail below, for analysis, storage, and retrieval of images. In addition, the ophthalmologist can view the images on the monitor's screen or print them on paper.
The image captured by the digital camera is transferred to the imaging board. The image transfer and processing does not use data compression. The personal computer is an off-the-shelf Performance/VS Pentium Pro computer. The personal computer is loaded with Tomey's Windows-based image processing software that is used to save, display, and store the images. The software permits the user to manipulate and enhance the image. The image can be manipulated by zooming in or out, inverting, flipping, or rotating the image. It also can be manipulated by adjusting the brightness and contrast and sharpening the image. The image can be enhanced by shadow, edge trace, and blur functions. The software has seven image-processing functions: (1) print; (2) extract/delete; (3) save; (4) auto-align; (5) image comparison; (6) animation; and (7) stereo image.
The print function has the option of allowing the user to create a montage window for printing landscape format images. It also permits the user to annotate the images with the patient's name, date, and selected eye. The image is printable to any printer configured to work with Windows 95.
