Intended Use
Laser trabeculoplasty to reduce intraocular pressure in patients with poorly controlled intraocular pressure on maximally tolerated medical therapy or prior failed laser trabeculoplasty
Device Description
The SOLX 790 Titanium Sapphire system is a flashlamp-pumped laser intended for use in performing laser trabeculoplasty. The laser operates at a wavelength of 790 nanometers (nm), and delivers user-selectable pulse energies of 30-80 millijoules (mJ), with nominal pulse duration of 8 microseconds (7+2usec) and a nominal spot size of 200 microns (um). A footswitch activates the laser to deliver pulses of laser energy through an optical fiber to a slit lamp. A trained physician then directs the laser pulses exiting the slit lamp to the desired regions of the trabecular meshwork inside the eye using a Goldman goniolens. A low power, visible aiming beam allows the physician to direct the treatment laser pulses.

No
The device description focuses on the laser's physical parameters and user control, with no mention of AI or ML for image processing, decision support, or automated functions.

Yes
The device is intended to reduce intraocular pressure, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device description states it is a laser system intended for performing laser trabeculoplasty, which is a treatment procedure. It does not mention any function for diagnosing conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly outlines a hardware system including a flashlamp-pumped laser, optical fiber, and footswitch, which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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 SOLX 790 Titanium Sapphire system is a laser used for surgical treatment (laser trabeculoplasty) performed directly on the eye. It delivers energy to the trabecular meshwork to reduce intraocular pressure.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It is a therapeutic device used for a medical procedure.

Therefore, the description clearly indicates a therapeutic laser device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
