The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and basic functionality of laser and illumination delivery, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for image processing, data analysis, or automated control.
Yes
The device is used for laser endophotocoagulation procedures, which is a medical treatment.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for laser endophotocoagulation procedures and illumination during vitreoretinal surgery, which are therapeutic and assistive functions rather than diagnostic. It does not gather information for the purpose of diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components such as fiberoptic cables, handles, tubing, and connectors, indicating it is a hardware device used in surgical procedures.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "laser endophotocoagulation procedures in the posterior segment of the eye during vitreoretinal surgery" and "illumination during vitreoretinal surgery with visible light." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's eye.
- Device Description: The device description details a surgical instrument (laser probes, endoilluminator, chandelier) used to deliver laser energy or light into the eye during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, urine, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs are typically used in a laboratory setting or at the point of care to analyze biological samples.
The device is clearly a surgical tool used for treatment and visualization during ophthalmic surgery, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The performance of the Vortex Surgical Laser Probes, Illuminated Laser Probes, Endoilluminators, and Chandeliers show that the instruments are substantially equivalent to their predicates. Vortex Surgical had demonstrated through Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization EU residual testing, endotoxin testing, biocompatibility testing, shelf-life testing, and nonclinical bench test results that the Vortex Surgical instruments are safe and effective as their predicate devices and any difference between the two raise of safety or effectiveness. The non-clinical bench testing for laser probes included, laser output (IEC 60601-2-22), laser spot size, laser compatibility, Ophthalmic cannula interface, and handle actuation testing (for MAXReach models). Non-clinical bench testing for illuminated instruments included measurement of time to exceed 10 J/cm² on illumination sources (ANSI Z80.36-2016) in comparison to their predicates. All products were accessed for biocompatibility utilizing ISO 10993-1.
Vortex Surgical Illuminated Laser Probe is an externally communicating device with limited (≤24 hrs.) tissue contact. The biocompatibility assessment was performed per 2020 FDA 's Biocompatibility Guidance "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, · Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process' and included evaluation of cytotoxicity (elution method), sensitization (Guinea pig maximization testing), intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, and material mediated pyrogenicity.
