Intended Use
The Molteno3 S-Series glaucoma implant is intended to reduce intraocular pressure in neovascular glaucoma or glaucoma where medical and conventional surgical treatments have not been successful to control the progression of disease.
Device Description
The Molteno3 S-Series Glaucoma Implant comes in two sizes and consists of a fine bore, flexible silicone translimbal tube attached to the upper surface of an injection molded polypropylene episcleral plate with a surface area of either 185mm² (size: SS) or 245mm² (size: SL). The function of the translimbal tube is to deliver aqueous humor ("aqueous") from within the anterior chamber of the eye onto the upper surface of the episcleral plate. The function of the plate is, when the device is implanted below the Tenon's capsule, to initiate the formation of a large circular bleb which develops a specialized fibrovascular bleb lining and becomes distended by aqueous fluid. The Molteno3 devices have an oval pressure ridge on the upper surface of the episcleral plate that divides the upper surface of the plate into a small, primary and a large, secondary drainage chamber. The S-Series device has a lower ridge profile and the two front suture holes have been moved to a more anterior position than the predicate G-Series device. The Molteno3 implants may be inserted between the sclera and the Tenon's tissue, so that the device would lie below both the Tenon's tissue and the overlying conjunctiva. However, other surgical techniques may be employed during the placement of a Molteno Implant, consistent with the surgeon's judgment. The device is intended for single use, is packaged individually in polypropylene presentation boxes, and is sold sterile.
More Information

No reference devices were used in this submission.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical design and clinical outcomes of a mechanical implant, with no mention of AI or ML components.

Yes

The device is intended to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma, a medical condition, by delivering aqueous humor through an implant, which constitutes a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is an implantable shunt designed to reduce intraocular pressure, categorizing it as a therapeutic device for treating glaucoma, not for diagnosing it.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implant made of silicone and polypropylene, intended for surgical implantation in the eye. It is a hardware device, not software.

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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Molteno3 S-Series Function: The Molteno3 S-Series Glaucoma Implant is an implantable surgical device. It is surgically placed inside the eye to drain fluid and reduce intraocular pressure. It does not perform any diagnostic tests on samples taken from the body.

The description clearly states its purpose is to physically manage fluid within the eye to treat glaucoma, not to diagnose a condition through laboratory testing.

The function of the translimbal tube is to deliver aqueous humor ("aqueous") from within the anterior chamber of the eye onto the upper surface of the episcleral plate. The function of the plate is, when the device is implanted below the Tenon's capsule, to initiate the formation of a large circular bleb which develops a specialized fibrovascular bleb lining and becomes distended by aqueous fluid.

The Molteno3 devices have an oval pressure ridge on the upper surface of the episcleral plate that divides the upper surface of the plate into a small, primary and a large, secondary drainage chamber. The S-Series device has a lower ridge profile and the two front suture holes have been moved to a more anterior position than the predicate G-Series device.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

5

The S-Series device differs from the predicate G-Series device only in that the S-Series device has a lower ridge profile and the two front suture holes have been moved to a more anterior position As a result of these changes, the overall plate length has increased very slightly.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

A. Bench Testing

As described in the substantial equivalence comparison chart above, the materials used for the Molteno3 S-Series implant are identical to the FDA-cleared device. Moreover, the devices is virtually identical and the devices are produced by the identical manufacturing process. Accordingly, the bench testing described in FDA's 1998 guidance document entitled "Aqueous Shunts - 510(k) Submissions" and the associated ANSI Standard Z80.27 "for Ophthalmics - Implantable Glaucoma Devices" was deemed to be unnecessary. Although sterilization procedures have also not changed, bacterial endotoxin testing was nevertheless carried out at a US testing facility and confirmed that the devices are in conformity with FDA's recommended limit of ≤0.2 EU/device.

B. Clinical Evidence Supporting Substantial Equivalence

Clinical data developed using both the G-Series implants support the conclusion that the performance of the S-Series implant is equivalent to that of the G-Series. More specifically, clinical data from the use of the Molteno3 S-Series device in the United States were compared to published historical data from the Otago Glaucoma Surgery Outcome study and a similar Finnish study, along with additional unpublished data from the Otago study. Clinical performance of the aqueous shunt under investigation was compared to appropriate historical populations, and the analysis included data from 70 patients receiving the S-Series implant followed out for at least one year. Outcome data for IOP and post-operative reductions, as well as visual acuity, were evaluated, along with data on relevant adverse events. The comparison established that there is no clinically significant difference in outcome between the devices, confirming that the Molteno3 S-Series implant is as safe and effective as the predicate Molteno3 G-Series implant.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

In summary, the Molteno3 S-Series implant and the G-Series implant are manufactured from the same materials and according to the same manufacturing process, are packaged and labeled identically, and have the same Indication for Use and the same technological characteristics. Clinical data establish that the S-Series device is as safe and effective as the predicate G-Series device. The information presented in this submission thus establishes that the Molteno3 S-Series implant is substantially equivalent to the Molteno3 G-Series implant.
