The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is indicated for microinjection into the subretinal space.
The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is designed for microinjection into the subretinal space. The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is comprised of 2 kits: the Subretinal Access Kit and the Third Arm Kit. All Subretinal Access Kit components are supplied sterile and intended for single-use only and cannot be reused or resterilized. The Subretinal Access Kit contains the following device components: Subretinal Injection Cannula, Ophthalmic Marker, Syringes, and Tubing Set. The assembled Third Arm Kit functions as a "third arm" to stabilize the subretinal injection cannula and free the surgeon's hands during the procedure. The Third Arm Kit (supplied nonsterile) is reusable and must be cleaned and sterilized prior to each use. Together, the Subretinal Access Kit and the Third Arm Kit are to deliver the infusate (e.g., BSS. BSS® PLUS) to the subretinal space as described in the Instructions for Use.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size:
- Simulated use evaluation: Eight (8) procedures were conducted in a porcine model.
- Specific sample sizes for other tests (e.g., biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging) are not detailed in the provided document. The document states "Testing demonstrated product performance met all prior established acceptance criteria," implying that adequate samples were used for these regulatory tests, but the numbers themselves are not specified.
- Data Provenance: The simulated use test was performed in a porcine model, indicating animal testing. The document does not specify the country of origin for the data, nor does it explicitly state whether it was retrospective or prospective. Given the nature of medical device validation testing, it would generally be prospective.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
- The document describes laboratory and animal model testing, not human clinical studies involving expert observers to establish ground truth in the way one might for diagnostic AI.
- For the simulated use evaluation, the procedures were performed in a porcine model. It is implied that qualified personnel (e.g., surgeons, researchers) carried out these procedures and observed the results (formation of subretinal blebs), but the number and specific qualifications of these individuals are not stated.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
- The document describes engineering and simulated use testing, not a scenario where human observers would require an adjudication method for ground truth. Observations from the simulated use evaluation (formation of subretinal blebs) are presumably directly observable outcomes rather than requiring expert consensus. Therefore, an adjudication method in the context of expert consensus is not applicable/described.
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
- No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is a physical medical device (a microinjection system), not an AI algorithm or a diagnostic tool that assists human readers.
6. If a Standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
- Not applicable. This device is a manual ophthalmic surgical instrument designed for human operators; it is not an algorithm, and therefore, standalone algorithmic performance is not relevant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
- For the simulated use evaluation, the "ground truth" was the direct observation of the physical outcome: the successful formation of a subretinal bleb after injection into a porcine model.
- For other tests like biocompatibility, sterilization, and performance testing, the ground truth refers to established scientific and regulatory standards (e.g., ISO standards, FDA guidance, pre-established test criteria) that define acceptable performance.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is a physical medical device, not an AI model that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable. As stated above, this is not an AI model requiring a training set.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System (Figure 1) is designed for microinjection into the subretinal space. The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is comprised of 2 kits: the Subretinal Access Kit and the Third Arm Kit.
Image /page/4/Picture/3 description: The image shows a medical device with a clamp at the bottom and a probe extending from the top. The device has multiple adjustable arms and joints, allowing for precise positioning of the probe. A thin tube connects to the probe, likely for delivering fluids or medication. The device appears to be designed for minimally invasive procedures, providing targeted access to specific areas of the body.
Figure 1: Orbit Subretinal Delivery System
All Subretinal Access Kit components are supplied sterile and intended for single-use only and cannot be reused or resterilized. The Subretinal Access Kit contains the following device components:
Subretinal Injection Cannula: A sterile flexible ophthalmic cannula with an advanceable needle is used for subretinal access via the suprachoroidal space. The Subretinal Injection Cannula allows for consecutive injections. The first subretinal injection delivers either Balanced Salt Solution (BSS) or BSS® PLUS to create an "entry bleb" in the desired subretinal location. The second subretinal injection delivers a specific treatment "dose" (i.e., quantity) of BSS or BSS® PLUS into the entry bleb that was created with the first injection. The advanceable needle is available in 2 different configurations: straight or curved.
Ophthalmic Marker: A custom sterile ophthalmic marker is provided and is intended to be used with a commercially available sterile gentian violet ink marking pad. The marker is used to stain the sclera for positioning of suture loops and scleral incision.
Syringes: Two (2) identical sterile syringes (1 mL each) are provided, one for each fluid line: BSS line (used to create an entry bleb) and the DOSE line (used to deliver the BSS or BSS® PLUS treatment dose). Each syringe includes a barrel, a plunger rod, and a piston.
Tubing Set: An optional tubing set is supplied with each kit to allow the user the ability to connect to a commercially available vitreoretinal surgical console for pneumatic injection (vs. manual injection). A sterile tubing set connects to the 1 mL syringe and interfaces with the pressure regulator functionality of vitreoretinal surgical consoles.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The assembled Third Arm Kit functions as a "third arm" to stabilize the subretinal injection cannula and free the surgeon's hands during the procedure. The Third Arm Kit (supplied nonsterile) is reusable and must be cleaned and sterilized prior to each use.
Together, the Subretinal Access Kit and the Third Arm Kit are to deliver the infusate (e.g., BSS. BSS® PLUS) to the subretinal space as described in the Instructions for Use.
INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is indicated for microinjection into the subretinal space.
TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS COMPARISON
The technical features of the Subretinal Delivery System components are substantially equivalent to the features and intended use of the BD 1ml syringe (K023752), as well as the Weiss Retinal Cannula (K010305). The Subretinal Delivery System is manually operated for the controlled delivery of small amounts of fluid dispensed on the principle of exchanging volumes with the use of a piston syringe that has the same features and intended use of the predicate piston syringe.
The primary similarities and differences for the predicate device include:
- Syringe configuration The syringe component of the Orbit Subretinal Delivery System . shares the same primary components (i.e. syringe barrel, plunger and piston). The primary technological difference between the proposed and the predicate syringe devices is that the proposed device utilizes an injection cannula for fluid delivery instead of the needle connected to the syringe itself (predicate).
- . Syringe operating principle - Both the proposed and predicate syringe(s) are manually operated by the user through the advancement and/or withdrawal of the syringe plunger within the barrel. Syringe content volume can be controlled by the user for both the proposed and predicate devices. These operating principles are identical to the vast majority of piston syringes currently on the market.
The technical features of the Orbit Subretinal Delivery System is also substantially equivalent to the Weiss Retinal Cannula which is presented as a reference device.
The primary similarities and differences for these devices include:
- Cannula Tip design The rounded tip design of the Orbit cannula design is similar to the ● design of the reference device, which is designed for insertion. The Orbit cannula tip is made from a more flexible and lubricious material that contours more closely to the globe for smoother entry into the suprachoroidal space. Materials chosen for the proposed and reference devices are medical grade and were tested for biocompatibility.
{6}------------------------------------------------
- Needle advancement As with the reference device however the SRDS needle rotates in ● order to advance vs. the slide mechanism of the reference device. The user has finer control of the needle advancement by this screw mechanism.
- . The differences between the design of the subretinal cannula component of the Orbit Subretinal Access Kit and the Weiss Retinal Cannula (reference device) is that the proposed device is also provided with an ophthalmic marker and a reusable cannula holder, called the Third Arm Kit that frees the surgeon's hands during the procedure.
The Orbit Subretinal Injection Cannula and the Weiss Retinal Cannula provide a cylindrical fluid pathway designed to administer pre-assigned fluid volumes to the subretinal space.
The minor differences in design features or technological characteristics between the Orbit Subretinal Delivery System and the predicate and reference devices do not introduce new or unique potential adverse events (i.e., hazards) and therefore does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Table 1 on the following page provides additional comparison between the components of the proposed device (Orbit Subretinal Delivery System) and the predicate and reference devices.
