Intended Use
The Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy is indicated for anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery.
Device Description
The Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser indicated for use in patients undergoing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. Capsular dissection is achieved through precise individual micro-photodisruption of tissue, measuring a few microns in diameter, created by tightly focusing ultrashort laser pulses into the targeted capsular tissue. Surgical effects are produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses, producing a continuous incision. The location of the tissue photodisruption is controlled by a fixed laser beam focused through a scanning optic system to the desired location. Pre-programmed patterns produce capsular resections of predetermined diameter and height. Laser pulses are delivered through a sterile (disposable) Patient Interface, consisting of a contact lens and suction clip to provide suction. The contact lens and suction clip assembly creates a reference surface for depth control and fix the eye relative to the delivery of the laser beam.
More Information

No
The description focuses on precise laser delivery and pre-programmed patterns, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is used for anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery, which is a therapeutic surgical procedure.

No

The device is described as a surgical laser system used for performing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery, which is a therapeutic procedure involving tissue modification, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines hardware components such as a laser beam, scanning optic system, and a sterile (disposable) Patient Interface consisting of a contact lens and suction clip. The performance studies also involve bench testing on physical eyes and phantoms, further indicating a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for performing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. This is a surgical procedure performed on a living patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from a patient.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical laser system that physically interacts with and modifies tissue within the eye. This is characteristic of a surgical device, not a diagnostic device that analyzes samples.
  • Anatomical Site: The target is the anterior capsule, which is part of the eye in situ.
  • Performance Studies: The studies described evaluate the surgical outcome (accuracy, predictability, smoothness of incision, lack of tears, IOL centering) of the procedure performed by the device, not the accuracy of a diagnostic test result.
  • Predicate Devices: The predicate devices listed are also surgical laser systems used in ophthalmic procedures.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis on a specimen.

Summary of Performance Studies

Pre-clinical and clinical testing has included bench testing and a prospective clinical trial.
Performance Data: Testing and analyses included accuracy and reproducibility of capsulotomy incisions in porcine eyes, as well as in plastic and agar gel optical phantoms. The data demonstrated that the Femtec Laser System produces anterior capsulotomies that are accurate and predictable in size, shape, and centration over a range of depths. The capsular edge created by the Femtec Laser system is also at least as smooth as that created during anterior capsulotomy.
Clinical Trial: A clinical trial of the Femter Laser System was conducted to evaluate the performance of the laser system in the creation of anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. Anterior capsulotomy was successfully performed in all eyes using the Femtec Laser System; i.e., the capsulotomy was complete in all eyes, with no radial tears observed intraoperatively or postoperatively, and with an intraocular lens placed in each capsular bag. Postoperatively, the course of follow-up in the study population was unremarkable. The intraocular lens was centered in all study eyes, and no posterior capsule tears were observed. All capsulotomies were judged to be well-centered by the surgeon using visual inspection in the operating microscope. While shown to be equally safe as manual capsulorhexis, the Femtec Laser System anterior capsulotomy procedure produced significantly more circular capsulorhexis than the manual technique, and significantly more pupil-centered capsulorhexis compared to manual capsulotomy.

510(K) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

Description of the Device Subject to Premarket Notification:

The Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser indicated for use in patients undergoing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. Capsular dissection is achieved through precise individual micro-photodisruption of tissue, measuring a few microns in diameter, created by tightly focusing ultrashort laser pulses into the targeted capsular tissue. Surgical effects are produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses, producing a continuous incision. The location of the tissue photodisruption is controlled by a fixed laser beam focused through a scanning optic system to the desired location. Pre-programmed patterns produce capsular resections of predetermined diameter and height.

Laser pulses are delivered through a sterile (disposable) Patient Interface, consisting of a contact lens and suction clip to provide suction. The contact lens and suction clip assembly creates a reference surface for depth control and fix the eye relative to the delivery of the laser beam.

Indication for Use:

The Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy is indicated for anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. The proposed indication for use is identical to the previously cleared LenSx 550 Laser (K082947) and LensAR Laser System for Anterior Capsulotomy (K090633).

Technical Characteristics Comparison:

The Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy mode of operation and technology are very similar to the previously cleared LenSx 550 Laser (K082947) and LensAR Laser System for Anterior Capsulotomy (K090633). The Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy utilizes ultrashort, high frequency laser pulses to create photodisruption in the anterior capsule, as do the predicate devices. The Femtec Laser system utilizes a curved patient interface as does the LenSx 550 laser predicate, while the LenAR Laser System utilizes a fluid-fluid interface. However, both patient interface configurations have the same function, which to provide a reference surface through which the laser pulses are delivered to the anterior capsule and are therefore substantially equivalent.

Brief Summary of Preclinical and Clinical Performance Test Results:

Technolas Perfect Vision developed the Femtec Laser system for use in anterior capsulotomy. Pre-clinical and clinical testing has included bench testing and a prospective clinical trial.

Performance Data:

Testing and analyses included accuracy and reproducibility of capsulotomy incisions in porcine eyes, as well as in plastic and agar gel optical phantoms. The data demonstrated that the Femtec Laser System produces anterior capsulotomies that are accurate and predictable in size, shape, and centration over a range of depths. The capsular edge created by the Femtec Laser system is also at least as smooth as that created during anterior capsulotomy.

Clinical Trial:

A clinical trial of the Femter Laser System was conducted to evaluate the performance of the laser system in the creation of anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. Anterior capsulotomy was successfully performed in all eyes using the Femtec Laser System; i.e., the capsulotomy was complete in all eyes, with no radial tears observed intraoperatively or postoperatively, and with an intraocular lens placed in each capsular bag. Postoperatively, the course of follow-up in the study population was unremarkable. The intraocular lens was centered in all study eyes, and no posterior capsule tears were observed. All capsulotomies were judged to be well-centered by the surgeon using visual inspection in the operating microscope. While shown to be equally safe as manual capsulorhexis, the Femtec Laser System anterior capsulotomy procedure produced significantly more circular capsulorhexis than the manual technique, and significantly more pupil-centered capsulorhexis compared to manual capsulotomy.

Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence:

The technological and performance characteristics of the Femtec Laser System for Capsulotomy are substantially equivalent to the technological and performance characteristics of the LenSx 550 Laser System and the LensAR Femtosecond Laser, cleared under K082947 and K090633, respectively, for anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery.
