Yes
The device is a surgical laser designed to create incisions and perform procedures to treat conditions like cataracts and those requiring corneal modifications. These procedures are performed to treat diseases or medical conditions, which are characteristics of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as a surgical laser used for creating incisions and performing procedures, not for identifying or diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "Femtosecond Surgical Laser" and describes its physical components and function in tissue dissection, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the living body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser is a surgical laser used to perform procedures directly on the patient's eye (cornea and crystalline lens). It is a therapeutic and surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures (creating incisions, tunnels, pockets, capsulotomy, phacofragmentation) performed on the patient's eye.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The femtosecond laser has been used clinically in a variety of anterior segment applications in Ophthalmology for many years. These include creation of a corneal flap for laser in situ keratomileusis, refractive surgery, arcuate incisions for modifying corneal astigmatism, and keratoplasties for corneal transplantation. In the past years, femtosecond lasers have been used in cataract surgery for capsulotomy creation, lens fragmentation, and corneal incision creation.
The design of the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 is based on the FDA cleared FEMTO LDV™ Z Models Femtosecond Surgical Lasers Z2-Z6. which already successfully treated more than 180'000 corneas in the USA and other countries. Including predecessor devices, about 3 million eyes have been treated on FEMTO LDV™ systems worldwide since 2006. The FEMTO LDV™ together with the Intralase iFS, which is a predicate device of the Z6, account for the biggest market share in terms of installed units and performed procedures.
The application of femtosecond lasers in the field of cataract surgery was achieved with extended focusing capabilities and improved visualization based on existing technologies.
Cataract surgery is a frequently performed procedure that includes several steps, such as creating corneal incisions; opening the anterior lens capsule, also referred to as the capsulotomy; emulsifying and removing the opacified crystalline lens; and subsequently inserting the intraocular lens (IOL).
In the past four vears, femtosecond lasers have been used in cataract surgery for capsulotomy creation, lens fragmentation, clear corneal incision creation and arcuate incisions. Numerous studies have reported advantages of femtosecond laser over conventional phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
The studies described below have shown that capsulotomies created using the femtosecond laser were more accurate in size than those created by manual continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (CCC) and that laser lens fragmentation significantly decreased the phacoemulsification power. The procedure was generally safe with low overall complication rates.
The capsulotomy provides the surgeon access to the capsular bag for fragmentation and removal of the natural lens and insertion of the IOL. The size of the remaining tissue should allow overlap between the capsule rim and the IOL haptic for correct IOL positioning. Intraocular lens alignment is particularly important with premium IOLs, such as accommodating, multifocal, and toric models. The most critical steps are for most surgeons still manual procedures. The most difficult manoeuvre to master is the creation of the continuous circular capsulorrhexis (CCC), which is performed by freehand tearing of the lens capsule and is therefore highly dependent on surgical skills and complicating factors. The procedure is prone to inconsistencies of size, shape and centration even in experienced hands. In the presence of many predisposing factors the level of difficulty and probability of creating a suboptimal CCC increases. These challenges and limitations stimulated the development of the femtosecond laser for laser anterior capsulotomy (LAC).

STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE:
The FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser is an ophthalmic surgical laser intended for use in the creation of corneal incisions indicated for use in patients undergoing LASIK surgery, tunnel creation for implantation of rings, pocket creation for implantation of corneal implants, lamellar keratoplasty. penetrating keratoplasty or other treatment requiring lamellar resection of the cornea at a varying depth with respect to the corneal surface.

In addition, the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Surgical Laser is intended for use in the creation of capsulotomy, phacofragmentation and the creation of single plane, multi-plane, arc cuts/incisions in the cornea, each of which may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same procedure indicated for use in patients undergoing cataract surgery for removal of the crystalline lens.
STATEMENT OF HOW THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE COMPARE T0 THOSE OF THE PREDICATE OR LEGALLY MARKETED DEVICE:
The design of the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surqical Laser suction ring of the patient interfaces is the same as for the Ziemer LDV™ Z6. The attachment forces to the patient eye are the same. With the liquid patient interface, saline solutions are used as in the case of the predicate device Catalys™. Therefore, the patient interfaces of the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser are substantially equivalent with the predicate devices and no new issues of safety and effectiveness arise.
Since the wavelength and the pulse width of the femto second laser pulses are the same, the underlying physical process is the same. The corneal software package and the user input of the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser are identical to the Ziemer LDV™ Z6. Therefore, no new issues of safety and effectiveness are raised in corneal applications.
Also for cataract applications the wavelength and the pulse width of the femto second laser pulses are essentially the same. Therefore the underling physical process is the same. Compared to the Catalys™, the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser uses smaller spots with lower pulse energies at higher repetition rates to achieve tissue dissection. The former K131207 showed that both regimes (larger pulse spacing at higher pulse energies vs. denser pulse spacing at lower pulse energies) are equivalent in the net effect of tissue separation along cut surfaces without raising new issues in terms of safety and effectiveness. Considering also that the FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser runs in the lens with same pulse energies or less than the Catalys™ no issues of safety and effectiveness arise in lens applications.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTS AND RESULTS:
The FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser has undergone non-clinical testing and is in compliance with applicable safety standards. The FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser was found to perform equivalently to the predicate devices to achieve tissue dissection for corneal flap, rings, pockets, keratoplasty, corneal and arcuate incisions, capsulotomy, and lens fragmentation Thus, FEMTO LDV™ Z8 Femtosecond Surgical Laser and the predicate devices have similar safety, effectiveness and performance profiles.
