KOWA nonmyd WX is intended for use with plane and stereo retinal image capturing without mydriatic. The retinal image can be stored to an image filing device through serial interface.
Device Story
KOWA nonmyd WX is a non-mydriatic retinal camera for capturing plane and stereo retinal images. Device utilizes a Xenon flash lamp for image capture and an Infrared LED lamp for observation. It integrates an external digital SLR camera to acquire images, which are transferred via USB to an external image filing system (e.g., KOWA portable VK-2). Stereo images are captured simultaneously in a single shot without parallax shifts. Designed for use in clinical settings by eye care professionals; output allows clinicians to visualize and store retinal images for diagnostic review. Benefits include non-invasive retinal documentation without the need for pupil dilation, provided the pupil diameter is at least 3.7mm.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Device evaluated for electrical safety (IEC60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC60601-1-2), optical safety (ISO15004-2), and software validation per FDA 2005 guidance. Risk management performed per ISO14971:2007. No clinical data presented.
Technological Characteristics
Non-mydriatic retinal camera; Xenon flash lamp (capture) and Infrared LED (observation); external digital SLR camera integration; USB connectivity; IEC60601-1, IEC60601-1-2, ISO15004-2, and ISO14971 compliant; embedded software (minor level of concern).
Indications for Use
Indicated for non-mydriatic plane and stereo retinal image capturing in patients with pupils at least 3.7mm in diameter.
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.

#### Device identification:
Device trade name: Classification name: Product code:
KOWA nonmyd WX Camera, Ophthalmic, AC-powered HKI, NFJ
#### Identification of predicate devices:
Kowa Company believes that this device is substantially equivalent to: KOWA nonmyd 7 manufactured by Kowa, 510(k)# K053026, Nidek 3-DX/3-DXF Stereo Disc/Fundus Cameras manufactured by Nidek, 510(k)# K973533.
#### Device description:
The KOWA nonmyd WX is a retinal camera without mydriatic. Plane retinal image capturing function, that is normal image capturing, is equipped and furthermore, stereo image capturing function is done. The stereo images are able to take simultaneously in shingle shot, as these images are captured without image/parallax shifts.
The KOWA nonmyd WX consists of a device body and external digital SLR camera, Single-Lens Reflex camera.
The KOWA nonmed WX uses Xenon flash lamp as an image capturing light and Infrared LED lamp as an observation light.
The KOWA nonmyd WX can be sued even in case which pupil has not been completely dilated in plane image capture mode, if it is more than 3.7mm in diameter.
The KOWA nonmyd WX is equipped with a USB port to be able to transfer images to a computer.
{1}------------------------------------------------
The KOWA nonmyd WX is designed to be able to link up to a filling system (KOWA portable VK-2), which can manage the digital images.
#### Intended use:
KOWA nonmyd WX is intended for use with plane and stereo retinal image capturing without mydriatic. The retinal image can be stored to an image filing device through serial interface.
## Technical characteristics:
#### Electrical safety
To guarantee Electrical safety, IEC60601-1 test was performed. The nonmyd WX met all requirements of the standard.
#### Electromagnetic compatibility
To guarantee Electromagnetic compatibility, IEC60601-1-2 test was performed. The nonmyd WX met all requirements of the standard.
#### Optical safety
To guarantee Optical safety, evaluation based on ISO15004-2 was performed. The nonmyd WX met all requirements of Group 1 instrument in the standard.
#### Software evaluation
To make sure Software validity of the nonmyd WX embedded software and filing software, evaluation based on FDA guidance, Guidance for the content of premarket submissions for software contained in medical devices, 2005, was performed. The levels of concern of these software items are minor.
The validation of these software items is performed as a part of system function test. All functions are tested and confirmed good working to required items.
#### Biocompatibility
To guarantee biocompatibility, biocompatibility assessment was performed. All materials were used the same of the other legally marked devices in US.
#### Risk Management
The nonmyd WX was evaluated in accordance with ISO14971: 2007, and met to all requirements of standard. The risk management of the device was deemed satisfactory. Remaining risks will be noted in the user manual, so users will be able to avoid them.
{2}------------------------------------------------
## Conclusion
COWA nonmyd WX is equipped with the fundamental technology to the predicate device for retinal image capturing and also deliver the equivalent level of safety. Therefore, it is concluded that there is no difference in the basic functions and safety between KOWA nonmyd WX and the predicate device.
