Intended Use
The ELITA™ Femtosecond Laser System is an ophthalmic femtosecond laser indicated in the creation of corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other surgery or treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea. The ELITA™ Femtosecond Laser System is used in conjunction with a sterile disposable Patent Interface, consisting of a pre-sterilized suction ring assembly and pre-sterilized applanation cone, intended for single-use.
Device Description
The ELITATM Femtosecond Laser System is an ophthalmic laser for corneal surgical operation. The system accurately cuts cornea tissue through a high pulse repetition rate and ultra-fast scanner to place pulses tightly next to each other, generating a continuous cutting surface. The system is controlled by the graphical user interface and software real-time controls. The optical delivery system determines a 3-dimensional position in the cornea at which the laser focuses. When the laser is emitted, the energy delivered is sufficient to photo-disrupt a small volume of tissue. The process of cutting involves repetitively setting a focus point and translating the laser cutting line generated by the resonant scanner. The ELITATM Femtosecond Laser System is a CDRH Class IV laser per 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 due to intentional laser exposure of the eye.

No
The description focuses on the laser technology, scanning, and software control for precise cutting, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "ophthalmic femtosecond laser" used for "creation of corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other surgery or treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device as it is used to treat or manage a medical condition.

No
The ELITA™ Femtosecond Laser System is described as a surgical device for cutting corneal tissue in LASIK, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Femtosecond Laser System" and describes hardware components like a laser, scanner, and optical delivery system. While it is controlled by software, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly described as creating a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK or other corneal surgeries. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a living patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a laser system designed to cut corneal tissue within the eye.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The ELITA™ Femtosecond Laser System is a surgical device used for ophthalmic procedures.

Device Description

The ELITATM Femtosecond Laser System is an ophthalmic laser for corneal surgical operation.

The ELITATM Femtosecond Laser System is a CDRH Class IV laser per 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 due to intentional laser exposure of the eye.
The ELITATM Femtosecond Laser System and ELITATM Patient Interface (PI) share the same design principle and mode of operation with the predicate devices, in that these systems deliver femtosecond pulses through a computer-controlled delivery system to produce a pattern of photo-disruption to create cuts or separation of corneal tissue, resulting in the same functionality (flap creation for LASIK surgery or other surgeries requiring lamellar resection). The ELITA™ PI characteristics are the same as the iFS PI in that the means of patient contact to the system is created via affixing a suction ring to the scleral surface of the eye prior to use, applanating the eye via vacuum, to couple the beam output to the cornea and provide a fixed reference plane for precision scanning.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bench testing, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing, and software and Non-Clinical design verification and validation testing, which demonstrates the system's ability to meet all intended design specifications. Bench testing of the iFS predicate device is directly applicable to the subject device as there are no significant changes to the subject device. Features introduced with the subject device have minor technological differences and do not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. Additional tests are performed to verify these features function as intended and meet applicable design requirements. Bench testing, when coupled with software verification and validation testing presented for the subject device, provides reasonable assurance that the system remains safe and effective for its intended use and furthermore, that it is substantially equivalent to the iFS predicate device. Clinical Data was deemed not necessary for the ELITA™ Femtosecond Laser System and ELITA™ Patient Interface. The performance data demonstrated that the device performs as intended. The subject device does not include any changes to the Clinical Performance indications for use or intended use of the primary or secondary predicate devices. It does not introduce any new harms or unacceptable risks, and therefore does not require clinical testing to assess safety and performance or to demonstrate equivalence.
