Device Description

The disposable 200200 microkeratome blade is designed to be used with the Moria LSK microkeratome system. The disposable 600600 microkeratome blade is designed to be used with the Moria CB microkeratome system. Both of these blades are designed to produce a corneal flap. The blades are packaged in plastic cases to protect the cutting edge and the placed in a Tyvek/poly pouch. They are sold as ten blades per box or in larger quantities of thirty (three ten-packs). Labeling identifies each quantity per box. The blades are then gamma radiation sterilized. The blades are made from medical grade stainless steel with a single cutting edge. They are assembled with their compatible head and driver systems.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical aspects of a surgical blade and its compatibility with existing microkeratome systems. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

Therapeutic

No
The device is a blade designed to produce a corneal flap, not to treat a condition. It is an surgical tool.

Diagnostic

No
The device is a microkeratome blade designed to produce a corneal flap, which is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic one.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical blade made of medical grade stainless steel, designed to be used with a microkeratome system. It is a hardware device, not software.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

• IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
• Device Function: The description clearly states that the MICROspecialties keratome blades are designed to produce a corneal flap during surgery. They are surgical instruments used directly on the patient's eye.
• Intended Use: The intended use is for a surgical procedure (creating a corneal flap), not for analyzing biological samples.
• Anatomical Site: The device is used on the cornea, which is part of the living patient.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument used in vivo (on a living organism), not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A risk analysis was performed to provide a systematic approach to the evaluation of hazards associated with the keratome blades.

Independent physicians and clinics were used to evaluate the performance of the 200200 and 600600 microkeratome blades as part of a nonclinical evaluation The evaluation included package handling, ease of use, performance on the respective Moria microkeratomes.

Engineering, manufacturing and inspection specifications were finalized based on this evaluation. A design validation was conducted to validate the appearance, compatibility with the Moria microkeratomes and performance within these systems. The blades go through 100% inspection to insure that they meet the product specification and follow design controls of MICROspecialties.
