No
The description focuses on the mechanical and optical control of the laser system and does not mention any AI or ML components for decision-making, image analysis, or pattern recognition beyond pre-programmed scanning patterns.
Yes
The device is used to perform surgical procedures (corneal cuts/incisions, capsulotomy, phacofragmentation, keratoplasty, and creation of corneal flaps), which are therapeutic interventions.
No
This device is a surgical laser system used to create incisions and separate tissue. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like analyzing data or providing information about a patient's condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "LenSx Laser System" that uses "focused femtosecond laser pulses" and a "computer-controlled scanning system" to deliver these pulses through a "sterile, disposable applanating lens and suction ring assembly." This clearly indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided text, the LenSx Laser System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- LenSx Laser System Function: The description clearly states that the LenSx Laser System is used to perform surgical procedures directly on the human eye (lens capsule, crystalline lens, and cornea). It creates incisions and separates tissue in vivo, not by analyzing samples in vitro.
- Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all surgical procedures performed on the eye.
Therefore, the LenSx Laser System falls under the category of a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LenSx Laser System is indicated for use:
- · In the creation of corneal cuts/incisions, anterior capsulotomy and laser phacofragmentation during cataract surgery. Each of these procedures may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same surgery.
- · In the creation of a lamellar cut/resection for lamellar keratoplasty, and in the creation of a penetrating cut/incision for penetrating keratoplasty
- · In the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea

Device Description
The LenSx Laser System uses focused femtosecond laser pulses to create incisions and separates tissue in the lens capsule, crystalline lens, and the cornea. Individual photodisruption locations are controlled by repeatedly repositioning the laser focus. The light pulse is focused into a sufficiently small spot in order to achieve photodisruption of the tissue inside the focus. A tiny volume of tissue, a few microns in diameter, is thereby photodisrupted at the laser focus. The surgical effect is produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses per second to produce a continuous incisions or tissue separation.
The location of the tissue photodisruption is controlled by moving the focus of the laser beam to the desired surgical target location. A computer-controlled scanning system directs the laser beam throughout a three-dimensional pattern to produce an incision. The laser pulses are delivered through a sterile, disposable applanating lens and suction ring assembly that contacts the cornea and fixes the eye with respect to the delivery system.
The LenSx Laser System proposed in this 510(k) premarket notification is a modification of the previously cleared LenSx Laser System, manufactured by Alcon LenSx, Inc. (K101626). It is essentially the same laser system with the addition of a new indication for use, namely the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatments requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea.

It is essentially the same laser system with the addition of a new indication for use, namely the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatments requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea. This same indication has been cleared for use with multiple predicate femtosecond laser devices since 1999, including the IntraLase Laser (K993153, K041893, K060372, and K073404), the WaveLight FS 200 Laser System (K101006), the Femtec Laser Microkeratome (K033354), and the Zeiss Visumax Laser . Keratome (K100253). Femtosecond lasers now perform the majority of LASIK flaps in the United States and virtually all those performed by the US Armed Forces, with numerous articles documenting their use and advantages. 67,8
