Intended Use

The Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome is intended for use in the separation of the epithelium from the cornea in preparation for subsequent surgical procedures on the denuded cornea, and for use in the making of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea.

Device Story

AC-powered keratome system; used by ophthalmologists in clinical settings for corneal epithelial separation or flap creation. System comprises drive control unit (DCU), handpiece, separator drive assembly, suction positioning ring (9.0mm or 10.0mm), foot pedal, and PMMA epithelial separator. Operation involves applying suction to the cornea via the positioning ring, causing protrusion; high-speed oscillating separator moves along a forward path to incise tissue. User controls vacuum and drive via DCU and foot pedal. Output is a separated epithelial layer or corneal flap, facilitating subsequent refractive or lamellar surgeries. Benefits include consistent, reproducible epithelial removal.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Functional testing demonstrated that the 9.0mm suction ring and separator assembly remove epithelium in a consistent and reproducible manner equivalent to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

AC-powered keratome; PMMA epithelial separator; suction positioning ring (9.0mm and 10.0mm); mechanical oscillation principle; drive control unit with foot pedal interface. Biocompatible materials used for patient-contact components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing LASIK or other surgical procedures requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea or separation of the epithelium from the cornea.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A keratome is an AC-powered or battery-powered device intended to shave tissue from sections of the cornea for a lamellar (partial thickness) transplant.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY & EFFECTIVENESS This 510(k) summary of safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.92. | 510(K) NUMBER: | K042810 | |----------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | APPLICANT: | Norwood Abbey Limited<br>63 Wells Road<br>Chelsea Heights<br>Victoria 3196<br>Australia | | OFFICIAL<br>CORRESPONDENT: | Paul Clark<br>Manager Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs<br>Tel: +613 9782 7308<br>Fax: +613 9782 7335<br>e-mail: pclark@norwoodabbey.com.au | | TRADE NAME: | NORWOOD ABBEY Centurion SES™ Epikeratome | | REGULATION NO. | 21 CFR 886.4370, Keratome | | REGULATORY CLASS: | Class I | | PRODUCT CODE | 86 HNO, Keratome, AC - Powered | # SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE: The new Centurion SES Epikeratome 9.0mm suction ring is substantially equivalent to the CIBA Vision (now Norwood Abbey) Centurion SES Epikeratome 10.0 mm suction ring cleared under K032978. Both the 9.0mm and 10.0mm Suction Ring for the Centurion SES™ Epikeratome has the same intended use and basic scientific technology. Both devices have the same indication for use statement, and utilize suction to the cornea and oscillation principles to separate the epithelium from the cornea. Bench testing has demonstrated that the new 9.0mm Centurion SES suction ring is functionally equivalent to the predicate Centurion SES 10.0mm suction ring and that any minor differences between the modified device and the predicate device do not affect safety or effectiveness. ### DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE: The Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome is an AC-powered device that is used for making a separation or flap by incising the epithelium at a predetermined location and diameter using a high-speed oscillating separator made of PMMA. {1}------------------------------------------------ The device consists of the following main components and accessories: the drive control unit (DCU), handpiece, separator drive assembly, suction positioning ring assembly (now with 10.0 and 9.0mm sizes), a foot pedal, a tubing set with fluid collection assembly (accessory), and an epithelial separator. # INDICATIONS FOR USE: The Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome is intended for use in the separation of the epithelium from the cornea in preparation for subsequent surgical procedures on the denuded cornea, and for use in the making of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea. ## TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: The Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome contains a suction ring (now with both 10.0 and 9.0mm sizes) that allows the cornea to protrude through the ring. The epithelial separator is suspended from the end of the separator drive assembly housing that is moved by a drive mechanism along a forward path inside the suction ring while oscillating laterally. Drive control and vacuum for the suction ring are provided by user command via the drive control unit and foot pedal. ## PERFORMANCE DATA: All components that come in direct contact with the patient have a long history of use in ophthalmic medical devices and are biocompatible. Functional test results demonstrate that the Centurion SES suction ring and separator assembly removes epithelium in a consistent and reproducible way and is equivalent to the predicate device. ### CONCLUSION: Based on the performance testing, it can be concluded that the new Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome 9.0mm Suction Ring is equivalent to the predicate CIBA Vision (now Norwood Abbey) Centurion SES Epikeratome 10.0mm Suction Ring with respect to intended use and technological characteristics. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
