Intended Use
The Synergetics Disposable Directional Endo Ocular Laser Probe provides a mean for delivering endophotocoagulation during vitrectomy surgery.
Device Description
The Synergetics™ Disposable Directional Endo Ocular Laser Probe is a sterile single use ophthalmic laser delivery device. The Laser Probe assembly includes a probe tip (distal end), a handpiece and a coupling means (proximal end) for connecting the Laser Probe to a commercially available laser source. Glass optic fiber protected by PVC tubing is provided between the handpiece and the coupling means. The probe tip, handpiece, tubing and coupling include a passageway for an optic fiber to transmit laser energy from the proximal end through the assembly to the distal end of the probe tip includes a rounded circumferential edge and smooth distal end surface to minimize tearing or snagging of tissue during insertion of the probe assembly through an incision at the sclera at pars plana. The laser fibers work on the principle of total reflection. Laser energy is focused into the glass silica fiber at the proximal end of the probe and traverses the length of the fiber by means of total reflection. The fiber is able to contain the laser beam and funnels the laser through the proximal end through the assembly to the distal end of the laser probe.

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and the principle of total reflection for laser energy delivery. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analysis or decision-making.

Yes
The device is used to deliver endophotocoagulation, which is a therapeutic treatment.

No
This device is described as a laser delivery device for endophotocoagulation during surgery, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details physical components such as a probe tip, handpiece, coupling means, glass optic fiber, and PVC tubing, indicating it is a hardware device for delivering laser energy.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "delivering endophotocoagulation during vitrectomy surgery." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's eye.
  • Device Description: The device is a "sterile single use ophthalmic laser delivery device" designed to transmit laser energy for treatment within the eye.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are specifically designed for testing samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical tool used for treatment in vivo (within the body).

Summary of Performance Studies

Bench testing, and comparative performance testing to the predicate device, was performed on the Synergetics Disposable Directional Endo Ocular Laser Probe. The non-clinical testing indicates the device performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate and the slight differences raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Oliveros:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
