Indications for Use
The IOLMaster 700 is intended for biometric measurements and visualization of ocular structures. The measurements and visualization assist in the determination of the appropriate power and type of intraocular lens. The IOLMaster 700 measures: - Lens thickness - Corneal curvature and thickness - Axial length - Anterior chamber depth - Pupil diameter - White-to-white distance (WTW)
Device Story
IOLMaster 700 is a non-invasive optical biometry instrument used in clinical settings by eye care professionals. It utilizes spectral domain interferometry (OCT principle) via a swept-source laser, infrared LED light spot projection, and internal digital camera image capturing to measure ocular structures: axial length, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, corneal curvature/thickness, pupil diameter, and white-to-white distance. The device processes these inputs to provide biometric data and visualization, assisting clinicians in selecting appropriate intraocular lens (IOL) power and type. A key feature is the Total Keratometry (TK) algorithm, which calculates corneal power by accounting for both anterior and posterior corneal surfaces. Output is displayed to the clinician for IOL power calculation, facilitating surgical planning. The device benefits patients by providing accurate biometric data for IOL selection, including in challenging cases like post-LVC eyes where historical data may be unavailable.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical studies (prospective, non-significant risk) evaluated TK and PCS measurements in normal (cataract/non-cataract) and post-LVC eyes. Data from 142 normal eyes and 30 post-LVC eyes were analyzed. Primary endpoints included repeatability, reproducibility, and agreement with conventional keratometry and the Clinical History Method (CHM). Results demonstrated TK is interchangeable with conventional keratometry for spherical equivalent in normal eyes and provides results closer to the CHM gold standard than Haigis-L in post-LVC eyes. Repeatability/reproducibility SDs were comparable to conventional keratometry.
Technological Characteristics
Non-invasive optical biometer. Sensing: Spectral domain interferometry (OCT principle) using a 1035-1080 nm tunable swept-source laser; telecentric keratometry using 950 nm infrared LEDs; image capturing via internal digital camera. Connectivity: Standalone. Electrical: Class I, IP 20, Type B (IEC 60601-1). Laser: Class 1 (IEC 60825-1:2007). Software: Includes Haigis Suite and Barrett Suite for IOL power calculations. Algorithm: Rule-based/computational for TK/PCS.
Indications for Use
Indicated for biometric measurements and visualization of ocular structures to assist in determining intraocular lens power and type in patients, including those with cataracts and those who have undergone prior laser vision correction (LVC).

### Table 1: Mean Difference Summary Statistics
### b) Clinical study IOLMaster 2017-01909
Repeatability standard deviation (SD) was estimated by the square-root of the estimated variance due to measurement error based on the random effect ANOVA model. The repeatability limit (or repeatability) was estimated with a 95% confidence limit of the difference between two repeated measurements. The reproducibility SD was estimated by the square-root of sum of the variances due to device/operator configuration, interaction between subject, and measurement error. Additionally, the coefficient of variation in percentage (CV) for repeatability were provided.
Results are summarized in Table 2.

#### 7.6.2. Post-LVC eyes
### a) Clinical study HamburgLVC
For the quantitative comparison analyses, the data from the "HamburgLVC" study were examined
- Raw data collected within a prospective, single-site clinical study.
- Collection of the data using the same measurement and image acquisition method as the current IOLMaster 700.
- Eyes with low to high cylinder were enrolled in the study. Included datasets consists of 30 eyes and 60 measurements (one pre- and one postoperative measurement for each eye). From the 30 eyes, 29 eyes have undergone a myopic and one eye has undergone a hyperopic LASIK treatment. Only one eye of each patient was included.
### b) Clinical study IOLMaster 2017-01909
The following data are used for repeatability and reproducibility analysis:
- Prospective, monocentric, non-significant risk clinical R&R study.
- Collection of the data at study site employed three IOLMaster 700 devices. ●
- . Included datasets consisted of 30 post-LVC eyes and 267 measurements. Only one eye of each patient was included.
### Results
In post-LVC eyes, IOL calculation typically consists of two steps: correcting keratometry K values and using a standard formula. When the required historic data is available, the clinical history method is considered the gold standard for correcting K values. Otherwise, a history-free approximation, like Haigis-L, is typically used in clinical practice.
The dataset HamburgLVC includes post-LVC measurements and pre-LVC and post-LVC refraction data. This allows comparison of TK measurements to K values modified according to the clinical history method. As a benchmark, comparison of Haigis-L modified K values to the clinical history method was also conducted. The analysis was performed for non-toric lenses as well as for toric lenses.

# c) Clinical study IOLMaster 2017-01909
Repeatability standard deviation (SD) was estimated by the square-root of the estimated variance due to measurement error based on the random effect ANOVA model. The repeatability limit (or repeatability) was estimated by the 95 % confidence limit of the difference between two repeated measurements. The reproducibility SD was estimated by the square-root of sum of the variances due to device/operator configuration, interaction between subject, and measurement error. Additionally, the coefficient of variation in percentage (CV) for repeatability were provided.
Results are summarized in Table 3.

#### 7.6.3. Conclusion
## Normal eyes
The analysis of the data shows that the spherical equivalent of Total Keratometry (TK) and of the conventional keratometry are interchangeable for normal eyes - non-cataract and cataract eyes based on analysis of the mean difference and limits of agreement.
Hence, TK analysis in the modified IOLMaster 700 can be used for IOL power calculation of non-toric IOLs in normal (spherical) eyes as an alternative to conventional keratometry in the predicate IOLMaster 700.
The verification shows that TK astigmatism measurements systematically differ from keratometry as expected and in agreement with scientific literature. The results show that TK overcomes the systematic weakness of keratometry in accounting for the contribution of the posterior cornea surface to the corneal astigmatism.
Combined with the interchangeability in spherical equivalent, TK is thus suitable for IOL power calculation of toric IOLs using existing keratometry-based formulas, but not for formulas including a model of the posterior corneal astigmatism that differs from the keratometer model as a workaround of the weakness of keratometry.
{15}------------------------------------------------
The repeatability and reproducibility of TK and PCS is comparable to conventional keratometry.
## Post-LVC eyes
The analysis for post-LVC eyes shows that TK measurements systematically differ from keratometry measurements in this patient group as expected. Analysis also shows that TK overcomes the systematic weakness of keratometry in accounting for changes in the back-ratio due to LVC treatment.
Individual differences between TK and the clinical history method (CHM), which is considered the established gold standard, are above the noise level and above the limit of clinical significance. However, analysis of the relative performance of the Haigis-L formula, which is an established history-free alternative to CHM, showed that TK yields results much closer to CHM results than the Haigis-L results are to CHM results.
Combined with the interchangeability in spherical equivalent in normal eyes, TK combined with a regular IOL calculation formula (e.g. Haigis) is a valid tool for IOL calculation in post-LVC eyes, particularly in cases after myopic LASIK without availability of the historic data required for CHM.
Therefore, TK analysis in the modified IOLMaster 700 can be used for IOL power calculation of both toric and non-toric IOLs in post-LVC eyes as an alternative to conventional keratometry in the predicate IOLMaster 700.
It is further concluded that the repeatability and reproducibility of TK and PCS is comparable to the that of conventional keratometry.
#### CONCLUSION: 8.
All testing deemed necessary was conducted on the modified IOLMaster 700 to ensure that the device is as safe and effective when used in accordance with its Instructions for Use as the predicate device.
The differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and the results of performance testing demonstrate that the subject device performs in accordance with specifications and meets user needs and intended uses.
Clinical data demonstrated that TK can be used as an alternative to conventional keratometry for IOL power calculation in both normal eyes and post LASIK Vision Correction eyes for both spherical and astigmatic eyes.
Based on the detailed comparison of specifications for each of the modifications to the previously cleared IOLMaster 700, the results of performance testing and clinical testing the modified IOLMaster 700 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device IOLMaster 700, as cleared in K170171.

1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story. This is also exactly how retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) works under the hood, and it makes a great visual on client calls.
