Yes.
The device is intended for use in an anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery, which is a therapeutic treatment.
No
The device description clearly states its purpose is to "cut the lens capsular tissue" and "generate a precision capsulotomy," and the intended use is "anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery." These are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components, including a laser, a patient interface device, and an accessory component, indicating it is not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, the LensAR Laser System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "for use in anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's eye.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical laser system designed to cut tissue within the eye.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body. The LensAR Laser System is a surgical tool used for a therapeutic procedure.

Device Description
The LensAR Laser System is an ophthalmic surgical laser intended for use in anterior capsulotomy in cataract surgery. The System employs a mode-locked Nd: Y VO4 laser which generates a high frequency series of ultrashort, low energy pulses at a wavelength of 1064 nm. The system is designed to cut the lens capsular tissue, with minimal collateral damage, by the mechanisms of plasma mediated ablation and photodisruption of targeted tissue at the beam focus. The precision capsulotomy is generated by computer-controlled scanning of the position of the laser beam focus in three dimensions at the target location of the anterior capsulotomy. The laser energy is delivered to the eye through a disposable, patient interface device consisting of an Index Matched Eye Docking device (IMED) designed to match the refractive index of the cornea to optimize beam targeting accuracy. The IMED device is docked to the eye via an accessory component comparable to those used with other ophthalmic lasers used as keratomes.

Summary of Pre-Clinical Testing: Testing and analyses performed included accuracy and reproducibility of capsulotomy size and depth in porcine eyes and plastic substrates. The data demonstrated the LensAR produces anterior capsulotomies that are uniform, accurate and predictable in size. Evaluation on ex vivo porcine eyes confirmed the safety with respect to corneal endothelium.
Summary of Clinical Testing: A clinical trial of the LensAR Laser was conducted to evaluate the performance of this laser system in the creation of anterior capsulotomy during cataract/IOL surgery, followed by conventional cataract removal. A contralateral control population which underwent continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) and conventional cataract removal served as the comparative control, although not all fellow eyes underwent cataract surgery in the context of the clinical study. Clinical analysis included the pointing accuracy of the device, as well as the performance characteristics required to achieve an effective anterior capsulotomy cut.
Summary of Performance Studies
Pre-clinical and clinical testing has included bench testing and a prospective, single-center, multiple surgeon clinical trial.
Pre-clinical testing included accuracy and reproducibility of capsulotomy size and depth in porcine eyes and plastic substrates, and acoustic and thermal profile of the device in ex vivo porcine eyes.
Clinical trial evaluated performance in creation of anterior capsulotomy during cataract/IOL surgery, followed by conventional cataract removal. A comparative control group underwent continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) and conventional cataract removal. Clinical analysis included pointing accuracy and performance characteristics required for effective anterior capsulotomy cut.
Results: Anterior capsulotomy successfully performed with intraocular lenses successfully placed. Postoperative follow-up through 3 months was unremarkable. Intraocular lens centered in all study eyes. All capsulotomies judged well centered by surgeon using visual inspection. Ease of removal of capsules scored on a scale of 1 to 10 (1=manual removal, 10=easiest); all scores 5 or better, most common score was 10. Removed anterior capsules from laser treated eyes demonstrated to be equivalent or better with respect to dimension and conformance to circularity than those done manually. No significant difference in clinical outcomes from sequelae of cataract surgery was demonstrated between Treatment and Treated Control populations.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The LensAR Laser System is an ophthalmic surgical laser intended for use in anterior capsulotomy in cataract surgery. The System employs a mode-locked Nd: Y VO4 laser which generates a high frequency series of ultrashort, low energy pulses at a wavelength of 1064 nm.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The LensAR Laser System is intended for use in anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON
As with the other ultrashort pulse lasers, the LensAR uses a mode-locked lasing technology rather than the Q-switched technology used for nanosecond or longer pulse lasers. The ultrashort pulses ionize target tissue molecules, creating free electrons through
2
a multi-photon absorption process rather than thermionic emission, the prevalent mechanism for somewhat longer pulse lasers. The electron avalanche and optical breakdown initiated by the free electron generation causes plasma formation and plasma mediated ablation as one of the cutting mechanisms.
The LensAR laser, like the LenSx, ISL QC 2000, Intralase (and others such as the FemTec laser), has laser beam and optical delivery system characteristics designed to generate a beam fluence at the beam waist that is enough above the laser induced optical breakdown (LIOB) threshold that the mechanical effects of shock waves and cavitation bubbles which are caused by the rapid plasma expansion constitute a substantial portion of the overall cutting process. The cutting of tissue by lasers via the aforementioned mechanical forces is termed photodisruption. The combination of substantial contributions to the cutting phenomenon from both plasma mediated ablation and photodisruption, as with the LensAR and other ultrashort pulse ophthalmic lasers cited above contrasts with the primarily laser mediated ablation mechanism utilized by ultrashort pulse lasers operating just above the LIOB or primarily photodisruption utilized by longer pulse Q-switched lasers.
Finally, like the other ultrashort pulse predicate devices, the LensAR laser uses a series of high frequency pulses which are scanned in three dimensions through the target tissue, by a computer-controlled optical scanning system, to create a contiguous cut. The ability to create a contiguous cut depends on matching the pulse-to-pulse spacings in three dimensions, to the three dimensional spatial extent of the plasma mediated ablation and photodisruption for the particular laser pulse width, pulse energy and optical delivery system characteristics.
The laser photodisruption plasma and the subsequent gas bubble are much smaller and more precise than an RF excited filament can achieve. If the focal spot is moved through the tissue in the appropriate pattern, macroscopic cuts can be performed that mimic those achieved with the Fugo Blade in the device-assisted anterior capsulotomy procedure in quality, but are much more controllable and repeatable in their key parameters since the cut is completely computer-controlled.
The LensAR Laser is, therefore, substantially equivalent to these legally marketed predicate devices.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTS AND RESULTS:
LensAR has developed the LensAR Laser for use in anterior capsulotomy, employing the precision and control of ultrashort pulse lasers for this procedure. Pre-clinical and clinical testing has included bench testing and a prospective, single-center, multiple surgeon clinical trial.
Summary of Pre-Clinical Testing
Testing and analyses performed included accuracy and reproducibility of capsulotomy size and depth in porcine eyes and plastic substrates. The data demonstrated the LensAR produces anterior capsulotomies that are uniform, accurate and predictable in size.
3
Additional safety testing was provided that addressed the acoustic and thermal profile of the device. Evaluation on ex vivo porcine eyes confirmed the safety with respect to corneal endothelium.
Summary of Clinical Testing
A clinical trial of the LensAR Laser was conducted to evaluate the performance of this laser system in the creation of anterior capsulotomy during cataract/10L surgery, followed by conventional cataract removal. A contralateral control population which underwent continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) and conventional cataract removal served as the comparative control, although not all fellow eyes underwent cataract surgery in the context of the clinical study. Clinical analysis included the pointing accuracy of the device, as well as the performance characteristics required to achieve an effective anterior capsulotomy cut.
Anterior capsulotomy was successfully performed in eyes using the LensAR Laser, with intraocular lenses successfully placed. Postoperatively, the course of follow-up through 3 months in the study population was unremarkable. The intraccular lens was centered in all study eyes. All capsulotomies were judged to be well centered by the surgeon using visual inspection in the operating microscope.
The ease of removal of the capsules was judged (on a scale of 1 to 10), with 1 being assigned as the score for Continuous Curvilinear Capsulorhexis (i.e., manual removal) and 10 being easiest to remove. All scores were 5 or better with the most common score being 10.
The removed anterior capsules from the laser treated eyes were demonstrated to be equivalent or better with respect to dimension and conformance to circularity than those done manually.
No significant difference in clinical outcomes from the sequelae of cataract surgery was demonstrated between the Treatment and Treated Control populations.
