Intended Use
The LaFaci Surgical System is intended for use during LASIK procedures. The LaFaci Surgical System consists of a reusable Handpiece, Surgical Cart, and disposable Tubing Accessories. The LaFaci System provides ocular fixation and containment of surgical field, corneal flap placement and flap re-positioning, and is used for ophthalmic plume aspiration, fluid aspiration, and the delivery of micro filtered air to the surgical field.
Device Description
LaFaci™ Surgical System combines multiple functions commonly utilized during LASIK into a single hand piece allowing for the delivery of sterile balanced saline irrigation solution to the surgical field, fluid aspiration from the surgical field, delivery of micro-filtered air to the surgical field, and plume evacuation from the surgical field. All of these functions are generated and delivered from the LaFaci™ Surgical Cart to the LaFaci™ Handpiece through fourlumen surgical tubing. LaFaci™ Handpiece also provides manual ocular fixation, and provides a platform for the temporary placement of the corneal flap during ablation. In addition the platform can be manually pivoted over the corneal bed thereby providing a spatula means to reposition the flap onto the stromal bed. The LaFaci™ Surgical Cart accessories include an adjustable instrument tray, and handpiece tubing swing arm that provides sterile setup and operational efficiency during surgery. The LaFaci™ Surgical Cart disposable accessories include the LaFaci Handpiece Tubing Set (sterile) and the LaFaci Smoke/Fluid Evacuation Accessories (non-sterile).
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical system with various fluid and air handling functions and manual manipulation capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would indicate the use of such technologies.

No
The device aids in surgical procedures but does not directly treat or cure a disease or condition itself. Its functions are supportive to the LASIK surgery, such as fluid and plume aspiration, corneal flap management, and ocular fixation.

No

The device is intended for use during LASIK procedures to provide ocular fixation, containment of the surgical field, corneal flap placement and repositioning, plume aspiration, fluid aspiration, and delivery of micro-filtered air. It performs surgical functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like a Handpiece, Surgical Cart, and Tubing Accessories, and describes functions involving fluid and air delivery/aspiration, and manual manipulation of tissues. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • LaFaci System Function: The LaFaci Surgical System is used during a surgical procedure (LASIK) on the patient's eye. Its functions are related to manipulating the surgical field, handling the corneal flap, and managing fluids and air in situ. It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The device is clearly intended for surgical use directly on the patient, not for laboratory testing of samples.

Dear Ms. Powell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
