The system will support multiple ongoing studies within the ophthalmic devices program, including adaptive optics biomarker development, regulatory science tools advancement, and retinal phantom development for establishing testing standards. The device will facilitate collaborative research with the National Eye Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore, and Johns Hopkins University Wilmer Eye Institute.

The required system must include hardware with specific technical specifications: pupillary reflectance imaging and non-contact transscleral flood illumination methodology; infrared LED and SLD light sources (750–890 nm); lateral optical resolution of 2–3 micrometers; 1 micrometer pixel pitch; 300 micrometer focusing range; cellular view field angle >6.5° x 6.5°; fundus overview field angle 30° x 30°; minimum 4mm pupil diameter; refractive error adjustment +15 D to –15 D; acquisition time <3 seconds; and internal/external fixation targets. The system must include software with simultaneous live widefield overview and cellular-level imaging, pupil alignment feedback, and image comparison capabilities. Electronic requirements specify 100–240V, 50–60Hz input; maximum 450W power consumption; dimensions ≤65cm x 65cm x 65cm; and weight ≤60kg. Deliverables include initial delivery and setup, user manuals, all hardware and software with license keys and proof of entitlement, training sessions, and one-year full warranty. Delivery must occur during FDA White Oak Campus business hours (8:00 AM–3:30 PM) to WO62 Room 1124. The procurement is structured as full and open competition, and all items must be available from a single contractor/vendor. Five potential vendors are identified: Imagine Eyes (France), Canon Inc. (Japan), EarlySight (Switzerland), Physical Sciences Inc. (Andover, MA), and Robotrak Technologies Co., Ltd. (China). The contract type, period of performance, and pricing terms are listed as TBD. The procurement requires pre-approval of all IT hardware and software from the FDA Chief Information Officer and compliance with Section 508 accessibility standards and 36 CFR Part 1194 requirements.

1. BACKGROUND

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for protecting the public health by assuring the safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, medical devices, our nation’s food supply, cosmetics, and products that emit radiation. The FDA is also responsible for advancing the public health by helping to speed innovations that make medicines and foods more effective, safer, and more affordable, and helping the public get the accurate, science-based information they need to use medicines and foods to improve their health.

The mission of the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is to protect and promote the public health. CDRH assures that patients and providers have timely and continued access to safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices and safe radiation-emitting products. We provide consumers, patients, their caregivers, and providers with understandable and accessible science-based information about the products we oversee. We facilitate medical device innovation by advancing regulatory science, providing industry with predictable, consistent, transparent, and efficient regulatory pathways, and assuring consumer confidence in devices marketed in the U.S.

The Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories (OSEL) supports CDRH’s mission of protecting and promoting public health. OSEL undertakes the highest quality science to provide their customers with the best methods, tools and expertise to:

Ensure readiness for emerging and innovative medical technologies Develop appropriate evaluation strategies and testing standards Create accessible and understandable public health information and, Deliver timely and accurate decisions for products across their life cycle.

Under OSEL, the Division of Biomedical Physics (DBP) participates in the Center's mission of protecting and promoting public health by identifying and investigating the biophysical interactions between medical devices and the human body. The division accomplishes this through activities supporting the OSEL mission.

DBP investigates gender-based differences in cardiac resynchronization therapy for pacemakers, development of phantoms (physical models) to assess the measurement of eye disease by optical imaging systems, evaluation and improvement of electrode reliability in neural prosthetics used to control artificial limbs, and computational modeling of active and passive implants to determine if unsafe levels of heating arise during a patient’s exposure to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. These serve the Center’s mission of advancing regulatory science, facilitating consistent and efficient regulatory pathways, and assuring continued access to safe, effective, and high-quality medical devices.

Specifically, DBP focuses on device issues that involve:

Biomedical and tissue optics Biophysics and electrophysiology

Electrical engineering Functional device performance and human factors, and Wireless communication and electromagnetic interference and compatibility

In collaboration with OSEL, the DBP seeks to order a high-resolution ophthalmic adaptive optics (AO) device will be deployed in the Optical Diagnostic Devices Laboratory of FDA/CDRH/OSEL/DBP to support multiple ongoing studies under the ophthalmic devices program charter. The OSEL ophthalmology program has established an AO sub-program focused on characterizing the performance and capabilities of novel optical diagnostic devices for detecting and treating retinal diseases, while developing sensitive biomarkers for early disease detection, including glaucoma—a leading cause of irreversible blindness. This instrument will directly support several critical projects within the program charter, specifically AO biomarker development that will advance regulatory science tools (RSTs) and retinal phantom development to establish testing standards. The device will facilitate collaborative research with the National Eye Institute, University of Maryland Baltimore, and Johns Hopkins University Wilmer Eye Institute. This cutting-edge equipment will enable the development of novel cellular imaging biomarkers and serve as a foundational platform for creating new analytical methods and tools critical to the program's objectives. The acquisition directly fulfills FDA's core mission to foster and accelerate the clinical translation of innovative medical device technologies by providing the necessary infrastructure to evaluate and validate emerging retinal imaging technologies, support the development of regulatory science tools and standards for cellular-level ophthalmic imaging, and facilitate the assessment of novel biomarkers that may be incorporated into future medical device applications.
