Intended Use
The intended use of the device is to illuminate the eye during anterior and posterior vitreoretinal surgery.
Device Description
The PHOTON EX is a table-top, xenon lamp lightsource used for intraocular illumination during vitreoretinal surgery. The lightsource employs two channels from a single lamp. The channels terminate with entry ports on the unit's front panel. Each channel has a dedicated filter wheel; the filter wheels include the following band pass filters with an upper cut-off at 650 nm and lower cut-offs at 435nm, 475nm, 475nm, and 515nm respectively. The user inputs are controlled by membrane switches on the front panel.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the hardware components (xenon lamp, filter wheels, membrane switches) and its function as a light source. There is no mention of data processing, algorithms, or learning capabilities.

No
The device is used to illuminate the eye during surgery, which is a supportive function rather than a direct therapeutic action to treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is described as a light source for illuminating the eye during surgery, not for diagnostic purposes. Its function is to provide light, not to gather information for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "table-top, xenon lamp lightsource" and describes physical components like channels, filter wheels, and membrane switches, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "illuminate the eye during anterior and posterior vitreoretinal surgery." This is a surgical device used in vivo (within a living organism) to aid in a medical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "table-top, xenon lamp lightsource used for intraocular illumination during vitreoretinal surgery." It provides light for the surgeon to see during the procedure.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any tests on samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the PHOTON EX is a surgical illumination device, not an IVD.

The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
