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 Description
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. 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.
More Information

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and functional performance, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is used for preparing the eye for surgical procedures by separating the epithelium or creating a corneal flap, not for directly treating a disease or condition. It is a surgical tool.

No
Explanation: The device is an epikeratome, used for surgical procedures like separating epithelium or making corneal flaps. Its function is to perform a physical action on the cornea, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components, including a drive control unit, handpiece, separator drive assembly, suction positioning ring assembly, foot pedal, tubing set, and epithelial separator.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome is a surgical device used to physically separate the epithelium from the cornea or create a corneal flap. It operates directly on the patient's eye during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It is a tool for performing a surgical step.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Norwood Abbey Centurion SES Epikeratome is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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.
