The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform is indicated for use in:
- · the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea
- · for anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery
- · the creation of cuts / incisions in the cornea in patients undergoing cataract surgery or other ophthalmic treatment requiring cuts / incisions in the cornea.
- · laser-assisted lens fragmentation of nuclear cataracts during cataract surgery, not for fragmentation of posterior subcapsular (PSC) and cortical cataracts
The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform (VICTUS) is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser and is cleared for use in the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea and for patients undergoing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. The VICTUS has additionally been cleared for patients undergoing cataract surgery or other ophthalmic treatment requiring penetrating arcuate cuts / incisions in the cornea, primary/secondary corneal incisions, and laser-assisted lens fragmentation. This submission includes the next software iteration of version 3.3 and introduces a new S60 patient bed option for the VICTUS Platform. The v3.3 software introduces an additional pattern (grid pattern) which is a variation of currently cleared patterns and is being added to the already cleared lens fragmentation capability. In addition, the software introduces a lens apex detection feature. The previously cleared patient contacting lens and previously cleared suction clip assembly are combined in one convenient package for the user as the VERAFIT patient interface kit. With the exception of the introduction of a new S60 patient bed option, the VICTUS Platform hardware remains unchanged from that described and cleared via K151161. The mode of operation for the VICTUS Platform is using Yb:KYW Femtosecond laser to produce Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) of the corneal tissue. For all indications for use, laser pulses are delivered through a sterile disposable Patient Interface, consisting of a contact lens and suction clip to provide suction. The contact lens and suction clip assembly creates a reference surface for depth control and fix the eye relative to the delivery of the laser beam. Surgical effects are produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses, producing continuous incisions. The location of the tissue photodisruption is controlled by a fixed laser beam focused through a scanning optic system to the desired location.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform, Model 14000. It describes the device, its indications for use, and a comparison to a predicate device (K151161). The document's purpose is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device, not necessarily to detail comprehensive acceptance criteria and a full study proving the device meets them in the way a medical AI/software device would.
Based on the provided text, the device is a VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform, Model 14000, and the submission focuses on new software (v3.3) and a new patient bed option. The "acceptance criteria" and "study that proves the device meets the acceptance criteria" are discussed in the context of demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, rather than proving a new clinical claim with specific performance metrics against a defined standard.
Here's an attempt to answer your questions based on the provided text:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The document does not provide a table of clinical acceptance criteria with specific performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, AUC) for the software changes. Instead, it refers to pre-defined acceptance criteria for non-clinical performance data (bench testing) and compliance with safety standards.
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance (Summary from text) |
|---|---|
| Non-Clinical Performance | "The acquired test data successfully verified that the various parameters meet their pre-defined acceptance criteria." (Specific parameters and their criteria are not detailed, but it implies successful bench testing using agarose gel, PETG, and PMMA). |
| Biocompatibility | No new testing performed. Assumed to be met based on predicate device. |
| Electrical Safety & EMC | "The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform has undergone testing and is in compliance with applicable safety standards as listed in the following table [EN ISO 60601-1: 2005 + A1, EN ISO 60601-1-2: 2007, EN ISO 60601-2-22: 2007]." "The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform has been found to perform equivalently to the predicate device." |
| Mechanical & Acoustic | No testing performed (assumed unchanged from predicate). |
| Software Verification & Validation | Conducted and documentation provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance. Software considered "major" level of concern. No specific performance metrics for the new features (grid pattern, apex detection) are provided in terms of accuracy or efficacy, but rather a statement of successful verification and validation. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Test Set Sample Size:
- For Non-Clinical Performance Data (Bench Testing): The document states "A variety of test procedures were conducted" and "Different materials were used for the bench performance testing including: agarose gel, polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)." However, it does not specify sample sizes (e.g., number of tests, number of samples of each material).
- For Clinical Studies: "There was no clinical study performed to support substantial equivalence of this premarket notification." Therefore, there is no clinical test set sample size.
- Data Provenance: Not specified for the non-clinical (bench) testing. Since no clinical studies were performed, there's no clinical data provenance.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
Not applicable. No clinical ground truth was established as no clinical studies were performed. The "ground truth" for the bench testing would be metrology readings against engineering specifications, not expert consensus on medical images.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
Not applicable. No clinical ground truth or human interpretation/adjudication was performed for a test set in the context of this 510(k) submission.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
Not applicable. No MRMC study was done, as this is a laser surgical device, not an AI diagnostic/interpretive tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This device is not an algorithm-only device. It's a surgical laser platform. The software (v3.3) introduces features like a new grid fragmentation pattern and an apex detection feature. The apex detection feature is described as "a user convenience and the physician must still review positioning results and confirm the treatment plan prior to initiating treatment," indicating it's a human-in-the-loop system where the software provides assistance, but the human (physician) retains ultimate control and decision-making power. Therefore, no standalone algorithm-only performance was done in the sense of a diagnostic AI.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
For the non-clinical performance data (bench testing), the "ground truth" would be the engineering specifications and expected outcomes from the laser's interaction with the test materials (agarose gel, PETG, PMMA). This is not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.
8. The sample size for the training set
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/machine learning model in the sense that it requires a "training set" of data for learning. The software (v3.3) introduces pre-programmed patterns and detection features based on established physics and engineering, not a learned model from data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for a machine learning model.

IV. Device Description
The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform (VICTUS) is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser and is cleared for use in the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea and for patients undergoing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. The VICTUS has additionally been cleared for patients undergoing cataract surgery or other ophthalmic treatment requiring penetrating arcuate cuts / incisions in the cornea, primary/secondary corneal incisions, and laser-assisted lens fragmentation.
This submission includes the next software iteration of version 3.3 and introduces a new S60 patient bed option for the VICTUS Platform. The v3.3 software introduces an additional pattern (grid pattern) which is a variation of currently cleared patterns and is being added to the already cleared lens fragmentation capability. In addition, the software introduces a lens apex detection feature.
The previously cleared patient contacting lens and previously cleared suction clip assembly are combined in one convenient package for the user as the VERAFIT patient interface kit. With the exception of the introduction of a new S60 patient bed option, the VICTUS Platform hardware remains unchanged from that described and cleared via K151161.
The mode of operation for the VICTUS Platform is using Yb:KYW Femtosecond laser to produce Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) of the corneal tissue. For all indications for use, laser pulses are delivered through a sterile disposable Patient Interface, consisting of a contact lens and suction clip to provide suction. The contact lens and suction clip assembly creates a reference surface for depth control and fix the eye relative to the delivery of the laser beam. Surgical effects are produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses, producing continuous incisions. The location of the tissue photodisruption is controlled by a fixed laser beam focused through a scanning optic system to the desired location.
The indications for use remains the same as previously cleared for the VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform under K151161.

V. Indications for Use
The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform is indicated for use for:
- the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment ● requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea.
- for anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery. ●
- the creation of cuts / incisions in the cornea in patients undergoing cataract surgery or . other ophthalmic treatment requiring cuts / incisions in the cornea.
{6}------------------------------------------------
- laser-assisted lens fragmentation of nuclear cataracts during cataract surgery, not for ● fragmentation of posterior subcapsular (PSC) and cortical cataracts
The indications for use remain unchanged from those previously cleared via K151161.
VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate
The mode of operation for the VICTUS Platform is using Yb:KYW Femtosecond laser to produce Laser-Induced Optical Breakdown (LIOB) of the corneal tissue and is the same as that previously cleared for the predicate VICTUS under K151161. Both systems deliver femtosecond pulses to produce a pattern of photodisruption to create cuts / separation in ophthalmic tissue. The subject and predicate device contain the same main unit components as described earlier in this document.
This submission includes updated software version 3.3 software will only be installed on those VICTUS Platform systems that have the cleared Fourier based OCT installed. The patient interface remains the same as that previously cleared for the VICTUS Platform. The VICTUS Platform uses vacuum to affix a suction ring to the corneal surface prior to use. There is no change to vacuum suction or force pressure related to the patient interface as compared to that previously described and cleared in K151161.
The VICTUS Platform mode of operation and the technology used to create the cutting action are identical to the predicate VICTUS Platform device (K151161), and therefore substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
a) Grid lens fragmentation pattern
The predicate VICTUS Platform includes clearance for several available lens fragmentation patterns including circular, radial, and a combination of circular and radial cuts. The v3.3 software introduces a new grid fragmentation pattern to the already available fragmentation patterns.
b) Apex detection feature
The predicate VICTUS system includes clearance for detection of pupil and lens surface. The v3.3 software introduces an apex detection feature which marks the apex location and provides an automated centration of the capsulotomy and lens fragmentation on the apex of the crystalline lens during treatment planning. The feature is being introduced as a user convenience and the physician must still review positioning results and confirm the treatment plan prior to initiating treatment.
c) S60 Bed option
A new bed configuration is being introduced that provides three locking positions as follows:
| 0°: | Position for treatment |
|---|---|
| 16.5°: | Position for centering the patient interface (PI) or suction ring |
| 60°: | Position for patient entrance/exit |
{7}------------------------------------------------
In order to minimize manufacturing costs, it has been determined to package the predicate VICTUS contacting lens from the patient interface kit (SKU 90000115) with the suction clip from the predicate VICTUS patient interface kit (SKU 90000145) into one convenient package for the user ( this new kit will be known as the VERAFIT patient interface kit -SKU 90000200TPV).
VII. Performance Data
Biocompatibility testing
No new biocompatibility testing was performed to support this premarket notification.
Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The VICTUS Femtosecond Laser Platform has undergone testing and is in compliance with applicable safety standards as listed in the following table.
