The Nova Eye iTrack™ Advance is indicated for fluid infusion or aspiration during surgery.
The Nova Eye iTrack™ Advance is indicated for catheterization of Schlemm's Canal to reduce intraocular pressure in adults patients with open-angle glaucoma.
The iTrack™ Advance is a sterile, single-use manual handheld ophthalmic instrument used by ophthalmologists for infusion and aspiration of fluids during ophthalmic surgery and for catheterization and viscodilation of the Schlemm's canal (Canaloplasty) to reduce intraocular pressure in adults with open-angle glaucoma. After catheterization and viscodilation of the entire circumference of Schlemm's canal, the device may also be used to place a tensioning suture within the canal.
The iTrack™ Advance has a handpiece preloaded with an illuminated and flexible microcatheter. The addition of the handpiece provides for improved ergonomics and user interface by allowing single handed delivery of the microcatheter into the eye. The actuator on the handpiece is pushed forward slowly and this advances the catheter around the Schlemm's canal the full 360 degrees. By then sliding the actuator on the handpiece back the catheter is withdrawn back into the handpiece and as this takes place the viscoelastic is injected into the canal using the Ophthalmic ViscoInjector.
The iTrack™ Advance is manufactured from biocompatible materials, common within the medical device industry, such as stainless steel, nitinol, and thermoplastics such as polycarbonate, Pebax®, and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The device includes a stainlesssteel cannula, a composite microcatheter, and a polymeric manual handpiece.
Additionally, the device is used with a single use manually operated infusion pump (the Ophthalmic ViscoInjector™) and the iLumin™ Fiberoptic Illuminator console (cleared separately in K050716 and K062259 and as a kit in iTrack™ 510(k) K080067).
The provided document describes the Nova Eye iTrack™ Advance Canaloplasty Microcatheter with Advanced Delivery System, and compares it to its predicate device, the iTrack™ 250A. The document primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence through non-clinical performance testing.

2. Sample Sizes Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes for most of the performance tests (e.g., biocompatibility animal numbers, number of devices for sterilization, endurance, mechanical, or actuator force testing).
- Human Factors Evaluation: Utilized "trained surgeons" in a "simulated surgical environment." The specific number of surgeons is not provided.
- Ex-Vivo and Simulated Use Testing: Performed in "human cadaver eyes." The specific number of cadaver eyes used is not provided.
- Data Provenance: The studies are described as non-clinical performance and preclinical studies, likely conducted in a controlled laboratory setting (e.g., "model eye," "human cadaver eyes"). There is no mention of country of origin for the cadaver eyes or data, nor whether the data is retrospective or prospective, though performance testing is inherently prospective.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth of Test Set
- Human Factors Evaluation: "Trained surgeons" were used. Their specific qualifications (e.g., years of experience, subspecialty) are not detailed beyond being "trained."
- Ex-Vivo and Simulated Use Testing: "Trained physicians" were involved. Their specific qualifications are not detailed.
- For other tests (biocompatibility, sterilization, mechanical), the ground truth is based on established international standards (ISO, AAMI, EN, FDA regulations) and internal device specifications, which are typically evaluated by qualified engineers and scientists rather than clinical experts.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not describe any adjudication methods (like 2+1 or 3+1) for the performance tests. These methods are typically associated with subjective assessments by multiple reviewers, common in clinical imaging studies. The performance tests described here are primarily objective and based on established physical, chemical, and biological standards.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. The submission is a 510(k) for a device with physical and mechanical characteristics, not an AI or imaging diagnostic device that would typically require such a study demonstrating human reader improvement with AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
Not applicable. This device is a manual surgical instrument, not an algorithm or AI system. Its performance is inherently tied to human use.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the non-clinical performance tests is based on:
- Established Standards: International and national standards (ISO, AAMI, EN, FDA regulations) for biocompatibility, sterilization, shelf-life, endotoxin levels, human factors, and light hazard.
- Device Specifications: Internal specifications for mechanical, dimensional, endurance, and actuator force testing.
- Simulated Use Outcomes: For ex-vivo testing, the ability to achieve specified surgical tasks (visualization, viscoelastic injection, 360° cannulation) in cadaver eyes.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a medical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The "design input" and "bench testing" phases would be somewhat analogous to training in terms of iterative refinement, but there's no data training set in the AI sense.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of medical device. Product specifications and design requirements would be established through a combination of engineering analysis, clinician feedback, and regulatory standards.

Technological Characteristics (in comparison to predicate):
The technical features of the subject device (iTrack™ Advance) compared to the predicate device (iTrack™ 250A) are substantially equivalent. The iTrack™ Advance microcatheter retains the same materials, design, and accessories as the predicate, and comprises a handpiece to allow manipulation of the catheter without the need for surgical forceps when performing canaloplasty. Both the predicate and subject devices maintain the same indications for use and intended use. Both are manually operated devices that are intended for catheterization and viscodilation of Schlemm's canal to reduce intraocular pressure in adult patients with open-angle glaucoma (canaloplasty).

Conclusions
The iTrack™ Advance is substantially equivalent to the currently cleared predicate device iTrack 250A Ophthalmic Microcatheter. The changes to the subject device did not raise new questions of safety and efficacy of the device. The iTrack™ Advance maintains the same indications, intended use, target population, target anatomy, principle of operation and key technological characteristics as the predicate device. Based on the changes made as compared to the cleared predicate, it was appropriate to leverage the clinical data used in support of the cleared predicate device. The mechanism of action for both the predicate and subject device is the same. Both devices are manually operated and utilize a microcatheter with illuminated tip to access the Schlemm's canal and deliver viscoelastic fluid. Non-clinical human factors data demonstrate that the iTrack™ Advance performs as intended.
