Contraindications

• Patients with persistent visual impairment in one or both eyes. Patients complaining of decreased vision should be referred to an eye care specialist.
• Patients with a history of macular edema, moderate non-proliferative retinopathy, severe non-proliferative retinopathy, proliferative retinopathy, or retinal vascular (vein or artery) occlusion. Patients with a history of macular edema or retinopathy other than mild (from any cause) should be referred to an eye care specialist
• Patients with a history of ocular injections, laser treatment of the retina, or intraocular surgery (other than uncomplicated cataract surgery).
• Patients who are contraindicated for fundus photography (for example, have hypersensitivity to light).

Warnings

• RETINA-AI Galaxy is only indicated to detect diabetic retinopathy. It is not intended to detect concomitant diseases, other ophthalmic diseases, or other systemic diseases. Patients should not rely on RETINA-AI Galaxy for detection of any other disease.
• Patients with a RETINA-AI Galaxy result indicating diabetic retinopathy should be immediately referred to an eye care professional for further screening and treatment that is consistent with the recommendations of appropriate professional societies. In cases where RETINA-AI Galaxy does not provide a detection result, the patient should always be immediately retested or referred to an eye care professional. In cases where RETINA-AI Galaxy does not detect the presence of referable disease, the patient should be strongly encouraged to test again at an appropriate point in the future.
• Patients should be informed that RETINA-AI Galaxy does not treat retinopathy and that their images are analyzed to determine whether further examination is needed by an eye care professional. Physicians should review RETINA-AI Galaxy results and advise patients of recommended referrals to an eye care professional for evaluation and potential treatment.
• If RETINA-AI Galaxy is not able to generate a detection result on a patient due to poor quality of images, such a patient may be retested immediately after pharmacologic dilation. If dilation is not possible or if RETINA-AI Galaxy still does not generate a detection result, such a patient should be referred to an eye care professional for evaluation since the patient may have vision-threatening diabetic retinopathy, or other abnormalities including cataract.
• RETINA-AI Galaxy is not intended for use in screening for diabetes mellitus – it is only for use on people already diagnosed with diabetes mellitus.
• RETINA-AI Galaxy is designed to work with good quality, in-focus, disc- and macula-centered retinal color images. Do not use RETINA-AI Galaxy with other images of the retina, other tissue, or random objects.
• RETINA-AI Galaxy is only intended to be used with images acquired with the CenterVue DRSPlus, Crystalvue NFC-700, and Topcon NW400 cameras. Refer to the FDA cleared User"s Manuals of the cameras for relevant contraindications, warnings, and precautions. Pharmacologic dilation (mydriasis) using a Tropicamide 1.0% solution may be required to capture sufficient quality images in some patients. Refer to the FDA approved label of Tropicamide 1.0% for relevant contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
• The user is responsible for ensuring that the images submitted (input) to RETINA-AI Galaxy for a patient are correct and correspond to that patient in order to avoid mistaken identity with respect to RETINA-AI Galaxy results.
