Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the usability of fundus image-guided focal electroretinography device with healthy subjects and with macular edema and macular degeneration patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this study, we will study the usability of focal electroretinography device combined with slit lamp biomicroscope. The device allows simultaneous fundus imaging and focal ERG recording from the desired retinal area.

In phase I, the usability of the investigational device is tested with 10 healthy volunteers. The examinations include focal ERG and noise tests with commercial ERG electrodes. The stimulus lights are guided to the fundus using either non-contact of contact fundus lens. One electrode is selected for phase II based on signal-to-noise ration, usability, and comfort.

In phase II, fundus image-guided focal ERG recordings are conducted with total of 10 patients having either macular edema or macular degeneration. The aim of the phase II is to test whether the investigational device can be used to record focal ERG signal from the desired symptomatic retinal area.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Phase I, healthy subjects

General usability of the device is tested with healthy patients. Different commercial electroretinography electrodes are tested to investigate the patient comfort, usability and signal-to-noise ratio when recording fundus image-guided focal electroretinography with the investigational device. Most suitable electrode is selected to phase II.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ERG electrode tests for fundus image-guided focal ERG

Intervention Type DEVICE

Investigate the patient comfort, usability and signal-to-noise ratio of different commercial CE marked ERG electrodes.

Phase II, patients with macular edema or macular degeneration

The usability of the device is tested with patients suffering either from macular edema or macular degeneration. Fundus image-guided focal electroretinography is recorded with the electrode chosen in phase I from two different retinal areas: from an area with macular edema or signs of macular degeneration and from a healthy area (area without macular edema or signs of macular degeneration).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Fundus image-guided focal ERG

Intervention Type DEVICE

Record focal ERG from a healthy retinal area and from an area with visible symptoms.
