Class 2
Intended Use
An AC-powered slit lamp biomicroscope is intended for use in eye examination of the anterior eye segment, from the cornea epithelium to the posterior capsule. It is used to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma which affect the structural properties of the anterior eye segment.
Device Story
The SL 220 is an AC-powered slit lamp biomicroscope used by ophthalmologists, opticians, and optometrists in clinical settings. It provides magnified visualization of the anterior eye segment, including the cornea and posterior capsule. The device utilizes adjustable illumination, transitioning between slit-type and full-field illumination via beam-forming elements. It employs LED light sources for the slit lamp and illuminator, and both LED and tungsten bulb options for fixation. The clinician observes the eye through the biomicroscope to assess structural properties, aiding in the diagnosis of ocular diseases or trauma. The device functions as a diagnostic aid, allowing the provider to visually inspect the eye to inform clinical decision-making and patient management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device demonstrated conformance to recognized performance standards, including IEC 60601-1 (general safety), IEC 60601-1-2 (electromagnetic compatibility), and ISO 15004-2 (light hazard protection for ophthalmic instruments).
Technological Characteristics
AC-powered slit lamp biomicroscope. Illumination sources: LED (slit lamp, illuminator, fixation) and tungsten bulb (fixation). Wavelength ranges: 412–810 nm (slit lamp LED), 405–900 nm (DigiCam LED), 540–720 nm (fixation LED), 380–1700 nm (fixation tungsten). Beam-forming elements adjust illumination from slit to full-field. Conforms to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and ISO 15004-2.
Indications for Use
Indicated for eye examination of the anterior eye segment (cornea epithelium to posterior capsule) to aid in the diagnosis of diseases or trauma affecting structural properties in patients requiring ophthalmic evaluation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An AC-powered slitlamp biomicroscope is an AC-powered device that is a microscope intended for use in eye examination that projects into a patient's eye through a control diaphragm a thin, intense beam of light.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is intended only for the visual examination of the anterior segment of the eye, is classified as Group 1 per FDA-recognized consensus standard ANSI Z80.36, does not provide any quantitative output, and is not intended for screening or automated diagnostic indications, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9.
