VisionQuest Biomedical Inc. Gains FDA 510(k) Clearance for the Image Quality Analyzer Software
VisionQuest Biomedical Inc. (VisionQuest) announced today that the company has received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the Image Quality Analyzer (IQA) software, which reduces unreadable images captured in teleretinal screening programs by retinal photographers.
The IQA is a software system intended for use in importing, displaying, analyzing and managing images acquired with digital fundus cameras. The patented software detects the most common causes of retinal imaging artifacts: bright crescents, blurriness, and poor illumination. The software then prompts the user to retake the image and provides clues for improving the image quality. The software can be used with both tabletop and portable retinal cameras.
