VisuMax Femtosecond Laser

 Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.

INDICATION FOR USE: In small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for the reduction or elimination of myopia with or without astigmatism:

  • For spherical refractive error (in minus cylinder format) from -1.00 diopters through -10.00 diopters
  • For cylinder from -0.75 diopters through -3.00 diopters
  • When refraction spherical equivalent is no greater in magnitude than 10.00 diopters, in patients 22 years of age or older with documentation of stable manifest refraction over the past year as demonstrated by a change in sphere and cylinder of ≤ 0.50 D in magnitude

DESCRIPTION

  • Precision ophthalmic surgical laser designed for creation of incisions in cornea
  • Mimics cutting action of mechanical or blade-based keratomes
  • Accomplishes this by scanning tightly focused patterns of femtosecond laser pulses in cornea at precise and predefined positions and depths
  • Each laser pulse produces micro-photodisruption in tissue of only a few microns in size
  • Patterns of contiguous, focused laser pulses results in the creation of continuous cut surfaces in cornea

EFFECTIVENESS & SAFETY:

  • 12-month, prospective, multi-center, open-label, non-randomized clinical trial, 360 eyes of 360 consecutive subjects for reduction or elimination of myopia from ≥ -1.00 D to ≤ -10.00 D with ≤ -3.00 D cylinder (myopia with or without astigmatism) and MRSE ≤ -11.50 D
  • The key effectiveness variables : Predictability: the percentage of eyes achieving MRSE within ± 1.00 D of the intended outcome,  Improvement in UCVA following treatment: the percentage of eyes that achieve uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) of 20/40 or better
  • Predictability of MRSE: 99.1%
  • Improvement in UCVA: 98.6%
  • Most serious types of adverse events : 3 cases of intraoperative cap tears, several of the cases of epithelium in the interface, all objective types of adverse events occurred at rates less than 1%, no objective findings resulted in long-term serious sequelae

ADDRESSING UNMET NEED: 

  • Making information about genetic variants available directly to consumers
  • Better inform their discussions with their health care providers

GENERIC DEVICE TYPE: Pharmacogenetic assessment system

Qualitative in vitro molecular diagnostic system intended to detect nucleic acid variants isolated from human specimens for the purpose of identifying pharmacogenetic associations for the detected variants. The intended use of the device must not include an indication for use in supporting or sustaining human life, being of substantial importance in preventing impairment of human health, or presenting a potential, unreasonable risk of illness or injury.

EFFECTIVENESS & SAFETY: 

  • Data to show that the test is accurate (i.e., can correctly identify the genetic variants in saliva samples)
  • Provide reproducible results
  • Data on user comprehension studies that demonstrated that the test instructions and reports were understood by consumers
  • Test report provides information describing what the results might mean, what the test does not do and how to interpret results.

RISKS & MITIGATIONS:

  • Incorrect test results (false positive or false negative results): Special controls
  • Incorrect interpretation of test results: Special controls
  • Incorrect action based on test results: Special controls

REGULATORY PATHWAY: De Novo classification request

  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR 862.3364

Fluobeam 800 Clinic Imaging Device

Fluoptics

INDICATION FOR USE:  To provide real-time near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging of tissue during surgical procedures. The Fluoptics Fluobeam® Imaging system is indicated for use in capturing and viewing fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow in adults as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion, perfused organs, and related tissue-transfer circulation in tissue and free flaps used in plastic, micro- and reconstructive and organ transplant surgeries.

The Fluoptics Fluobeam® Imaging system can also be used to assist in the imaging of parathyroid glands and can be used as an adjunctive method to assist in the location of parathyroid glands due to the auto-fluorescence of this tissue.

Use of the Fluobeam® device is intended to assist, not replace, experienced visual assessment, and biopsy with conventional histopathological confirmation per standard of care. The system is not to be used to confirm the absence of parathyroid tissue or glands and is only to be used to assist in locating visually identified gland/tissues.

ADDRESSING UNMET NEED:  Provide real-time location of parathyroid tissue during surgical procedures such as thyroidectomy (surgery to remove all or part of the thyroid) and parathyroidectomy (surgery to remove one or more parathyroid glands).

GENERIC TYPE OF DEVICE: Autofluorescence detection device for general surgery and dermatological use.

  • Adjunct tool that uses autofluorescence to detect tissues or structures. This device is not intended to provide a diagnosis.

EFFECTIVENESS & SAFETY:

  • Data from five peer-reviewed published studies, including one study that compared the rate of postoperative hypocalcemia (PH), or a temporary reduction in calcium in the blood, that occurs when healthy parathyroid tissue is inadvertently removed, n=93
  • 5 % experienced fluctuating PH following surgery (n=93) vs  21 % (n=153) patients who had surgery without the device

RISKS & MITIGATIONS:

  • Electrical, mechanical, or thermal hazards leading to user injury or discomfort:  Electromagnetic compatibility testing Electrical, mechanical and thermal safety testing, Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis, Labeling
  • Tissue, skin burn, or eye injury due to light and laser exposure: Light and laser exposure safety testing, Labeling
  • Infection and cross-contamination: Sterilization validation, Shelf life testing, Labeling
  • Adverse tissue reaction: Biocompatibility evaluation
  • False identification of target tissues or structures leading to errors in patient
    management (e.g., removal of healthy tissue or not removing diseased tissue): In vivo performance testing, Software verification, validation, hazard analysis, Labeling

REGULATORY PATHWAY: De Novo classification request

  • Previously cleared, via 510(k) pathway, as an imaging system used to capture and view fluorescent images for the visual assessment of blood flow as an adjunctive method for the evaluation of tissue perfusion
  • De Novo pathway for new indication
  • Regulation Number: 21 CFR 878.4550
  • Regulation Name: Autofluorescence detection device for general surgery and dermatological use
  • Regulatory Class: Class II
