Special Controls
QFX — Diagnostic Neurosurgical Microscope Filter
In combination with the general controls of the FD&C Act, the diagnostic neurosurgical microscope filter is subject to the following special controls: - (1) Non-clinical performance testing must demonstrate that the device performs as intended under anticipated conditions of use, and verify and validate filter specifications and functional characteristics, including the following: - (i) Spectrum and intensity of the illumination source; - Spectrum of the excitation and emission filter modules when integrated in the (ii) surgical operating microscope: - (iii) Excitation power and power density; - (iv) Optical path loss from illumination source to objective lens or microscope camera; - (v) Homogeneity of the excitation light at the focal plane; - (vi) Fluorescence detection sensitivity; - (vii) Verification of calibration or pre-operative procedures; and - (viii)If camera-based, spectral sensitivity of the camera. - (2) Labeling must include: - Identification of the filter characteristics in conjunction with a compatible surgical (i) operating microscope, to include the following: - (A) Illumination spectrum and power density; and - (B) Excitation and emission filter spectra. - (ii) Instructions for calibration or pre-operative checks to ensure device functionality prior to each use: - (iii) Instructions for use with compatible surgical operating microscopes, external light sources, and cameras: - (iv) A warning that the device should only be used with fluorophores approved for use within the specified spectral ranges; and - A warning that the device is not a standalone diagnostic.
