Intended Use

VISULAS yag is intended for use in photodisrupting ocular tissue in the treatment of diseases of the eye, including Posterior capsulotomy, Iridotomy and Posterior Membranectomy.

This device is for Prescription Use (Rx) only.

Device Description

VISULAS yag uses a Q-switched, flashlamp-pumped solid-state laser for photodisruption treatments of diseases of the eye, including posterior capsulotomy, iridotomy and membranectomy. Laser radiation is generated by means of a neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG) gain medium inside the laser source. The emitted laser radiation with a near-infrared wavelength of = 1064 nm has a pulse duration of < 4 ns (full-width half-maximum; FWHM) and a focal diameter of 6.5 um ± 20%. The maximum energy output per pulse is 9 to 13 mJ in single-burst mode.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry, but the provided text is a 510(k) summary for a medical device (VISULAS yag), which focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study design with acceptance criteria and device performance results as requested.

The document does not contain:

  • A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance for a specific study.
  • Information on sample size, data provenance, number of experts, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, or ground truth for a clinical study.
  • Details regarding training set size or how ground truth was established for a training set.

Instead, the document primarily compares the subject device's indications for use and technical characteristics to two predicate devices (Ellex YAG Laser K212630 and VISULAS YAG III K042139) to establish substantial equivalence. It mentions "Non-Clinical Performance Testing" and "functional and system level testing showed that the system met the defined specifications," and "Software verification and validation testing were conducted... All testing passed," but these are general statements and do not provide the detailed study information you've asked for.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill your request based on the provided text.

Dear Tanesha Bland:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

{1}------------------------------------------------

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4. Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

7. SUMMARY OF STUDIES

Non-Clinical Performance Testing

Non-clinical system testing provided an evaluation of the performance of the system relevant to each of the system specifications. The functional and system level testing showed that the system met the defined specifications. ZEISS demonstrated non-clinical equivalency between the subject device, VISULAS yag, and the predicate device, VISULAS YAG III.

VISULAS yag is not intended for sterilization and no shelf life is specified for VISULAS yag. Therefore, no testing was conducted on VISULAS yag concerning sterilization and shelf life.

Biocompatibility testing was performed on the appropriate components of the subject device. The testing performed aligns with current recognized standards and meets or exceeds testing performed on VISULAS YAG III. Biocompatibility testing demonstrated equivalency between VISULAS yag III.

Software verification and validation testing were conducted, and documentation was provided as recommended in accordance with IEC 62304. There have been no changes in level of concern or software architecture. All testing passed.

EMC and electrical safety are used in comparable standards to the predicate device and the relevant product standards given by the product indication and performance. Electrical safety and EMC testing were performed based on the ILAC-Scheme to include all national deviations for VISULAS yag. All testing passed.

No additional safety or performance concerns have been raised during development or device testing.

8. CONCLUSION

The indications for use are identical to the indications for use of the predicate device; and therefore, are deemed to be substantially equivalent.

The technological characteristics and risk profile of the subject device are equivalent to the predicate device; and therefore, are deemed to be substantially equivalent.

Testing methods are equivalent to those of the predicate device; and therefore, are deemed to be substantially equivalent.

Therefore, the subject device meets the requirements for substantial equivalence as compared to the proposed predicate device.
