## Indications for Use

The KSS-400 Image Storage System is a software product intended to be used for automatic image analysis and data storage for corneal images taken with Specular Microscopes The program analyzes cell density, coefficient of variation, and hexagonality using images taken by the specular microscopes

## Device Story

KSS-400 is a software-based image management system for corneal specular microscopy. It accepts corneal images captured by compatible specular microscopes as input. The software performs automated analysis to calculate clinical metrics: cell density, coefficient of variation, and hexagonality. It also provides data storage functionality. The system is designed to run on a standard personal computer. Healthcare providers use the output metrics to assess corneal health and support clinical decision-making regarding corneal status. The device benefits patients by providing standardized, automated quantification of corneal endothelial cell characteristics.

## Clinical Evidence

No new clinical data was generated for this submission. The manufacturer states that extensive clinical testing was performed for this system as part of the clearance of one of the predicate devices. The software underwent extensive non-clinical validation and testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Software-only product designed for installation on a user-provided personal computer. Performs automated image analysis of corneal specular microscopy images. Connectivity is via standard PC interfaces for image import and storage.

## Regulatory 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).

## Predicate Devices
