The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of a surgical cutting tool, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision making.
Yes
Explanation: The device is a vitrectomy cutter used to remove vitreous and intraocular tissue from the eye during surgery, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is a surgical tool (vitrectomy cutter) used to remove vitreous and intraocular tissue during ophthalmic surgery. It is designed for tissue removal, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a pneumatically actuated device with physical components (cutter, needle port, etc.) and describes dimensional changes to the hardware. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics like heat generation, metal flaking, fluid dynamics, and aspiration flow rates, which are related to the hardware's function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "remove vitreous and intraocular tissue" during ophthalmic surgery. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "pneumatically actuated device, which supports aspiration and guillotine-style cutting functions for the purpose of removing vitreous and/or other tissues from the eye during surgery." This describes a surgical instrument used for tissue removal.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device operates inside the body to remove tissue.
- No Mention of Diagnostic Testing: The description focuses on the mechanical function of cutting and aspiration, not on analyzing samples for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, this device is a surgical instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Vitrectomy Cutter, one of the accessories for the Ultimate Vit Enhancer and the subject of this 510(k), is a pneumatically actuated device, which supports aspiration and guillotine-style cutting functions for the purpose of removing vitreous and/or other tissues from the eye during surgery. This 510(k) describes dimensional changes to the cutter. Specifically, a second port opening was added, and this created a second cutting edge. As the cutter moves from its retracted position to its extended position, any material in the port is cut by the first cutting edge in cooperation with the distal side of the needle port, just as in the conventional vitrectomy cutter. Unlike the conventional vitrectomy cutter, aspiration is able to continue through the opening in the side of the cutter while the cutter is in the extended position, drawing more material into the port. As the cutter moves from the extended position to the retracted position, this material is cut by the second cutting edge in cooperation with the proximal side of the needle port. Thus, there are two cuts made during a single operating cycle, as opposed to one cut for the conventional vitrectomy cutter.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
- Heat Generation: Testing was conducted to measure heat generation in the vitreous cutter operated at a range of cut rates and on of all four gauges of cutters (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G). The maximum temperature increase at the probe tip should not be greater than 10°C based on literature review: (Wu, J., Seregard, S., & Algvere, P.V. (2006). Photochemical damage of the retina. Survey of Ophthalmology, 51(5), 461–481). Testing showed that the maximum temperature increase was 3°C, which is well below the maximum limit.
- Metal Flaking: Testing was performed to evaluate the potential for metal flaking in the cut range from 1500 to 8000 cpm and to verify conformance to the endurance specification for all gauges of vitrectomy Bi-Blade cutters (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G). Acceptance criteria for the testing was that no stainless steel particle originating from the probe's cutter or needle, larger than 0.45 microns, should be present on the filter after 20 minutes of continuous use. The vitreous cutter was actuated in purified water as specified. The water was filtered and the filter examined microscopically. During testing, no stainless steel metal flakes were produced during 20 minutes of operation for all gauges tested throughout all cut rates.
- Fluid Dynamics: Testing was conducted to characterize fluid dynamic characteristics of the Bi-Blade™ Vitrectomy Cutter throughout the cutting range of 1500 to 8000 cpm, to ensure that these characteristics would not adversely affect nearby sensitive ocular structures. Testing was performed on all gauges of the Bi-Blade vitrectomy cutter (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G). Fluid Dynamics were evaluated by measuring displacement of a marker in porcine vitreous at a range of cut rates. Video footage was reviewed and the displacement of the lens from its initial starting position to its maximum displacement was assessed using a defined unit of measurement. Testing showed that the fluid dynamics of the Bi-Blade™ vitrectomy cutter for all gauges is similar to the FDA cleared 23 gauge predicate cutter.
- Aspiration Flow Rates: Testing was conducted to characterize aspiration flow rate characteristics of the Bi-Blade™ Vitrectomy Cutter to ensure that the Bi-Blade has an equal to or improved aspiration flow rate compared to the MID Labs previous FDA cleared predicate vitreous cutters. Testing was performed over the entire range of cutter sizes (20G, 23G, 25G, and 27G) and the entire range of cutting rate (1000 to 8000 cpm). Results of testing demonstrate that the Bi-Blade Vitrectomy Cutter, with its second open port, has less flow resistance per duty cycle and thus decreased flow interruption. The flow rate in saline fluid of the Bi-Blade cutter is relatively independent of the cutting rate. The Bi-Blade cutter is able to provide continuous aspiration even when the cutter is fully closed.
