Intended Use
PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is intended for use to perform single-spot photocoagulation in the posterior segment (retina, choroid) and in the anterior segment (iris, trabecular meshwork) as well as pattern-scanning photocoagulation in the non-macular retina of the eye. Single-spot delivery may be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope or an indirect ophthalmoscope. Pattern delivery may be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope.
Device Description
PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ is an ophthalmic scanning laser system. The system can perform single shot photocoagulation as is performed conventionally. At the physician's discretion, the system provides for a single laser spot treatment or the option of using a selectable pattern of delivering multiple laser spots simultaneously. Pattern scanning allows the physician to enhanced efficiency and reduced patient discomfort. The PASCAL Synthesis™ Laser System (parent product to the PASCAL Synthesis Twinstar™) included 532 nm/577 nm wavelengths and was cleared via K123542. The subject device for this submission is a line extension named PASCAL Synthesis Twinstar and will include 577 nm/638 nm laser wavelengths.
More Information

No
The summary describes a laser system for photocoagulation with pattern scanning capabilities, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies. The focus is on the laser wavelengths and delivery methods.

Yes
The device is used to perform photocoagulation in the eye, which is a medical treatment.

No

The device is described as an ophthalmic scanning laser system intended for photocoagulation (treatment) of the eye, not for diagnosis.

No

The device is described as an "ophthalmic scanning laser system" and mentions hardware and software validation activities, indicating it includes hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is a therapeutic device that uses laser energy to treat conditions in the eye. It directly interacts with the patient's tissue.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for performing photocoagulation in the posterior and anterior segments of the eye. This is a treatment procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
  • Device Description: The description details a laser system for performing photocoagulation, a therapeutic intervention.
  • Lack of Specimen Handling: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.

Therefore, the PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Performance Testing - Animal:
An animal study was performed for the novel features of the subject device (the 638 nm red treatment laser) relative to the PASCAL® Synthesis.
Grids of mild to moderate grade retinal lesions were delivered to rabbit retinae in vivo with both the subject device (with red treatment laser) and the reference predicate (the Novus Omni). Both 60um and 200um spot-sizes were used.
Ophthalmoscopic evaluation, fundus photos, and SD-OCT measurements were taken in vivo immediately after treatment, prior to euthanasia.
Key results: No difference in lesion morphology between predicate and subject device was observed funduscopically or in OCT for equivalent lesion ophthalmoscopic grade. In an analysis of OCT width measurements, the difference in lesion width for predicate and subject device was

4. Device Description

PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ is an ophthalmic scanning laser system. The system can perform single shot photocoagulation as is performed conventionally. At the physician's discretion, the system provides for a single laser spot treatment or the option of using a selectable pattern of delivering multiple laser spots simultaneously. Pattern scanning allows the physician to enhanced efficiency and reduced patient discomfort.

The PASCAL Synthesis™ Laser System (parent product to the PASCAL Synthesis Twinstar™) included 532 nm/577 nm wavelengths and was cleared via K123542. The subject device for this submission is a line extension named PASCAL Synthesis Twinstar and will include 577 nm/638 nm laser wavelengths.

5. Intended Use

PASCAL Synthesis TwinStar Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is intended for use to perform single-spot photocoagulation in the posterior segment (retina, choroid) and in the anterior segment (iris, trabecular meshwork) as well as pattern-scanning photocoagulation in the non-macular retina of the eye. Singlespot delivery may be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope or an indirect ophthalmoscope. Pattern delivery may be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope.

6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System are substantially equivalent to those of the Primary predicate and the Reference predicate devices.

The Pascal Synthesis Twinstar that is the subject of K170409 is a modification of Pascal Synthesis (primary predicate) with an added option of red treatment wavelength. Pascal Synthesis Twinstar is a combination wavelength device that offers two treatment wavelengths, i.e., 577nm and 638 nm.

Using red laser for the treatment of eye disease, the Pascal Synthesis Twinstar uses 638 nm red laser to perform single-spot photocoagulation. The Novus Multiwavelength (reference predicate) has been cleared for the use of similar red laser wavelength (647 nm) for the treatment of eye disease.

The following Table compares the technological characteristics of the Pascal Synthesis Twinstar to the Primary Predicate as well as the Reference Predicate.
