Device Description

The VERITAS™ Vision System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical system that is intended for use in anterior segment (cataract) ophthalmic surgery. The device uses ultrasonic energy via finely modulated pulses of energy, interrupted by brief cooling periods, to emulsify and extractous lens. This allows the system to achieve full ultrasound cutting efficiency while introducing less energy to the eye, which reduces risk of thermal damage. The VERITAS™ System performs phacoemulsification, diathermy, irrigation/aspiration, and vitrectomy functions, and is a peristaltic system with a graphic user interface that has updated technology and hardware to meet current electrical and material safety standards.

The VERITAS™ Vision System consists of components that are used to perform cataract surgery, which include the 1) System Console, 2) Wireless Remote Control, 3) Advanced Foot Pedal and 4) Single-Use Fluidics Pack or Single-Use Infusion Pack 5) Swivel Handpiece 6) Hardware 7) Software.

The VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack or VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack contains the manifold (cassette) and Tubing Assembly and is intended to perform irrigation and aspiration during anterior segment cataract surgery. It is used with the VERITAS™ Vision System. The VERITAS™ Pack is sterilized using ethylene oxide and is designed for single use only.

AI/ML Overview

This report describes the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria for the VERITAS™ Vision System.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The provided documentation does not present a formal table detailing specific, quantifiable acceptance criteria and directly corresponding reported device performance metrics in a side-by-side format. Instead, it states that the device "passed the acceptance criteria" and "all tests passed and all acceptance criteria were met" for various functional aspects.

The performance testing primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices (WHITESTAR SIGNATURE® PRO Phacoemulsification System and OPO73 Dual Pump Fluidics Pack) rather than meeting predefined numerical acceptance thresholds for novel performance claims.

Based on the text, the acceptance criteria are implicitly tied to the performance and safety profiles of the predicate devices and compliance with relevant standards.

Implicit Acceptance Criteria and Reported Performance (derived from text):

Acceptance Criteria CategoryImplicit CriteriaReported Device Performance

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document indicates that "bench testing" was performed for design verification and validation. However, it does not specify the sample size (e.g., number of devices, number of tests, volume of data) used in these tests. The provenance of this test data is implied to be internal testing conducted by Johnson & Johnson Surgical Vision, Inc. The document does not specify a country of origin for the data or whether the tests were retrospective or prospective, though design verification and validation testing are typically prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

The document makes no mention of experts being used to establish ground truth for a test set. The validation relies on meeting technical specifications, safety standards, and functional equivalence to predicate devices, rather than expert interpretation of medical images or diagnostic outputs. Human factors studies were conducted, but these are for usability and risk, not for establishing diagnostic ground truth.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

No adjudication method is described, as the testing performed does not involve subjective assessments requiring adjudication. The device validation relies on objective physical measurements, functional tests, and compliance with standards.

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 MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device is a phacoemulsification system and not an AI-assisted diagnostic or imaging device, so such a study would not be applicable. The document explicitly states: "No animal or clinical studies were performed as there is no change to the indications for use or the fundamental scientific technology when compared to the primary and secondary predicate devices."

6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

The device is a medical system for surgical procedures, not an algorithm, so a "standalone" algorithm-only performance assessment as typical for AI/ML devices is not applicable. Its performance is assessed through its mechanical and electrical functionality, and its interaction with a surgeon (human-in-the-loop) is the inherent design.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for the device's performance is established by:

  • Compliance with recognized international standards (e.g., IEC 60601 for electrical safety, ISO 11135 and 11137 for sterilization, ISO 10993 for biocompatibility, ISO 14971 for risk management).
  • Demonstrating functional equivalence to legally marketed predicate devices through bench testing.
  • Meeting design specifications and requirements for each component and the system as a whole.

This is a form of technical and regulatory compliance ground truth, rather than a clinical ground truth like pathology or outcomes data.

8. The sample size for the training set

The document does not mention a training set. This device is a hardware/software medical system, not a machine learning or AI model that typically requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as no training set is mentioned or relevant for this type of device.

Device Description

The VERITAS™ Vision System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical system that is intended for use in anterior segment (cataract) ophthalmic surgery. The device uses ultrasonic energy via finely modulated pulses of energy, interrupted by brief cooling periods, to emulsify and extractous lens. This allows the system to achieve full ultrasound cutting efficiency while introducing less energy to the eye, which reduces risk of thermal damage. The VERITAS™ System performs phacoemulsification, diathermy, irrigation/aspiration, and vitrectomy functions, and is a peristaltic system with a graphic user interface that has updated technology and hardware to meet current electrical and material safety standards.

The intended use of the subject device is anterior segment ophthalmic surgery (i.e., cataract), which is the same as the primary and secondary predicate devices. The materials, energy source, operating mechanism, fundamental scientific technology, physical properties, duration, and type of contact, and intended use of the subject device are identical to those of the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE® Pro Phacoemulsification System and the OPO73 Dual Pump Fluidics Pack. The VERITAS™ Vision System is intended for use by trained ophthalmic surgeons and their support staff under the direction of the surgeon in adult patients with cataracts or adult patients undergoing anterior segment ophthalmic surgery (e.g., removal of the crystalline lens).

The VERITAS™ Vision System consists of components that are used to perform cataract surgery, which include the 1) System Console, 2) Wireless Remote Control, 3) Advanced Foot Pedal and 4) Single-Use Fluidics Pack or Single-Use Infusion Pack 5) Swivel Handpiece 6) Hardware 7) Software.

The functionality of the subject and primary predicate devices is the same, with the exception of the addition of Gas Forced Infusion (GFI) functionality to the subject device, which adds supplemental pressure to the existing gravitational forces within the irrigation line. The wireless remote control, foot pedal, and phacoemulsification handpiece are also updated versions of the accessories that are used with the primary predicate device.

Other modifications made for the subject device are:

  • Redesigned exterior skin
  • . Slightly larger 19-inch touchscreen display
  • Updated venting algorithm which can be configured by the user
  • . Continuous irrigation auto-off feature - irrigation will stop when the handpiece is removed from the eye
  • Updated Mayo tray design for improved cleaning robustness
  • . Updated foot pedal
  • . Updated, smaller remote for easier use

Indications for Use

The VERITAS™ Vision System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical system that facilitates anterior segment (i.e., cataract) ophthalmic surgery. The modular design allows the user to configure the system to meet their surgical requirements. The indications for use are identical to the primary predicate WHITESTAR SIGNATURE® PRO.

{6}------------------------------------------------

The VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack or VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack contains the manifold (cassette) and Tubing Assembly and is intended to perform irrigation and aspiration during anterior segment cataract surgery. It is used with the VERITAS™ Vision System. The VERITAS™ Pack is sterilized using ethylene oxide and is designed for single use only.

Difference in Indications for Use from Secondary Predicate

The VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack and VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack Indications for Use statement is essentially identical to the secondary predicate device, OPO73 Dual Pump Fluidics Packs. A minor revision has been made to include reference to both models of the VERITAS packs (Advanced Infusion Pack and Advanced Fluidics Pack) whereas the secondary predicate device had a single product reference included. In addition, product nomenclature was also revised.

Technological Characteristics of the Device

The main technological characteristics of the VERITAS™ Vision System include phacoemulsification, diathermy, irrigation and aspiration, and vitrectomy. These technological characteristics are the same as those in the legally marketed device, the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE® PRO Phacoemulsification System (K151636).

  • . The Phacoemulsification mode is used to break up (emulsify) the nucleus of a lens, allowing it to be aspirated from the eye through a small incision.
  • . The Diathermy (bipolar) mode is used to coagulate blood vessels during a surgical procedure and, in some cases, to coagulate the conjunctiva following a procedure.
  • The Irrigation/Aspiration mode allows for controlled aspiration of cortical material from the eve. while maintaining intraocular stability by replacing aspirated material with a balanced salt solution. A peristaltic pump provides a predictable and stable aspiration rate. Irrigation is gravity-fed, and intraocular pressure can be regulated by adjusting the height of the balanced salt solution bottle.
  • . The Vitrectomy mode is used to cut and remove vitreous from the anterior segment of the eye during secondary intraocular lens implantation, following vitreous loss associated with trauma, or during primary cataract surgery.

These surgery modes are equivalent to the surgery modes of the primary predicate device, the WHITESTAR SIGNATURE Pro Phacoemulsification System.

Substantial Equivalence

The subject VERITAS " Vision System is substantially equivalent to the primary WHITESTAR SIGNATURE® PRO Phacoemulsification System which was cleared under premarket notification K151636 (cleared October 29, 2015), in terms of:

  • · Indications for use
  • Intended use
  • Fundamental technological characteristics

In addition, the VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack and VERITAS" Advanced Infusion Pack are substantially equivalent to the secondary predicate device, the OPO73 Dual Pump Fluidics Pack

{7}------------------------------------------------

cleared under K160236 (cleared April 27, 2016). The VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack is identical in functionality to the secondary predicate device; however, the Advanced Infusion Pack adds an infusion line that adds supplemental pressure to the irrigation system. This enhancement does not alter the overall functionality of the Advanced Infusion Pack.

The following reference devices listed in Table 1 provide additional support for the substantial equivalence of the VERITAS™ Vision System:

Therefore, the subject device, including the VERITAS™ console, VERITAS™ Foot Pedal VERITAS™ Wireless Remote Control and VERITAS" Swivel Handpiece, has similar safety, effectiveness, and performance profiles as the primary predicate device.

{12}------------------------------------------------

VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack and VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack

The VERITAS" Advanced Fluidics Pack and VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack have undergone design verification and validation testing. The test results demonstrate that the Advanced Fluidics Pack and Advanced Infusion Pack perform as safely and as effectively as the secondary predicate device, the OPO73 Dual Pump Fluidics Pack. During performance testing, all anterior segment ophthalmic surgery modes that require the Advanced Fluidics Pack and Advanced Infusion Pack functionality, including irrigation/aspiration and gas-forced infusion were conducted; all tests passed and all acceptance criteria were met.

Components of the VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack and VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack have indirect contact with the patient by providing a fluid path for sterile Balanced Salt Solution (BSS) to enter the eye during surgery. A sterilization equivalency assessment was conducted for the adoption of the Veritas packs to the current process employed for the OPO73 Dual Pump Packs and determined that the Veritas packs may be considered similar or equivalent to the OPO73 packs for validation purposes. Verification and validation testing, including sterilization (using ISO 11135:2014 and ISO 11137:2014, Sterilization of Health-Care Products - Ethylene Oxide) and biocompatibility testing (using ISO 10993:2018, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices), was completed and all acceptance criteria were met, demonstrating that the VERITAS" Advanced Fluidics Pack and VERITAS" Advanced Infusion Pack have a similar safety, effectiveness and performance profile as the secondary predicate device.

Risk assessment has been performed in accordance with ISO 14971:2017. Formative and summative human factor studies identified no new risks associated with the VERITAS™ Vision System. No animal or clinical studies were performed as there is no change to the indications for use or the fundamental scientific technology when compared to the primary and secondary predicate devices.

Conclusion:

The results of the bench testing, EMC testing, and software validation demonstrates that the VERITAS™ Vision System and VERITAS" Advanced Infusion Pack and Advanced Fluidics Pack have met all required acceptance criteria. The VERITAS™ Vision System is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared WhiteStar Signature Pro Phacoemulsification System (K151636) based on completion of nonclinical bench testing, software validation, as well as similar principles of design, operation, and indications for use. The VERITAS™ Advanced Fluidics Pack Model VRT-AF and VERITAS™ Advanced Infusion Pack Model VRT-AI are substantially equivalent to the currently cleared Dual Pump Pack Model OPO73 (K160236) based on completion of non-clinical bench testing, software validation, as well as similar principles of design, operation, and indications for use.
