The Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system is intended for the emulsification and removal of cataracts, anterior and posterior segment vitrectomy. The system is designed for use in both anterior and posterior segment surgeries. It provides capabilities for phacoemulsification, coaxial and bimanual irrigation/ aspiration, bipolar coagulation, vitrectomy, viscous fluid injection/removal and air/fluid exchange operations. The Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system configured with the laser module is additionally intended for retinal photocoagulation and laser trabeculoplasty.
Device Description
The Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system is comprised of an integrated ophthalmic microsurgical system designed for use in anterior and posterior segment surgery including phacofragmentation and vitreous aspirating and cutting as well as endoillumination. Additionally, the Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system may be configured with a 532 nm laser module for photocoagulation. The Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system was initially cleared under K 162342 which included the introduction of an Adaptive Fluidics feature as well as increase in vitrectomy cut rate. The Vitesse vitrectomy handpiece was introduced and cleared for use on the Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system under K170052. A selection of disposable single-use procedure packs is available for use with this system. These packs contain the necessary tubing to facilitate delivery and removal of air and fluids to/from the patient as well as a selection of components (cannulas, cutters, probes, etc.) that facilitate the surgical procedure. The items are arranged for physician convenience and may be presented as a group intended to support all the needs of a procedure or packaged singularly to allow the physician greatest flexibility. Additional Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system procedure packs have been made available and these packs contain components that have been used in previously available procedure packs. Some of these Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system procedure packs now include the BiBlade vitrectomy cutter produced by Medical Instruments Development Lab (separately cleared via K153168). The previously cleared Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system introduced new feature sets that are not available on the legacy Stellaris PC systems previously cleared under K133242/K133486 respectively. A summary of these additional feature sets for the Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system are listed in Table 8-1. The various available system configurations allow for system feature flexibility and are made available for physician convenience. The most recent clearance to the Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system introduced the Vitesse vitrectomy feature and was cleared via K170052 on April 19, 2017. This traditional 510(k) incorporates updates to User Interface Computer System on Module (SOM) with an introduction of a new replacement Congatec SOM. In addition. the Stellaris Software platform is updated to Windows 10, since the current Stellaris software platform Windows XP is obsolete/incompatible with the new Congatec SOM. The features remain the same as the previously approved Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system. The configuration matrix is listed in Table 8-1. The various available system configurations allow for system feature flexibility and are made available for physician convenience.
More Information

No
The document describes a surgical system with various features for ophthalmic procedures, including fluidics and vitrectomy. It mentions software updates and hardware changes but does not include any language related to AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms for decision support or automation. The focus is on the mechanical and software control of surgical tools.

Yes
The device is intended for surgical procedures like the emulsification and removal of cataracts, vitrectomy, retinal photocoagulation, and laser trabeculoplasty, all of which are therapeutic interventions.

No

This device is a surgical system intended for the emulsification and removal of cataracts, and anterior and posterior segment vitrectomy, and for retinal photocoagulation and laser trabeculoplasty. It is used for therapeutic procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "integrated ophthalmic microsurgical system" comprised of hardware components like a laser module, handpieces, and procedure packs, in addition to software updates.

Based on the provided information, the Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical system for performing procedures on the eye (emulsification and removal of cataracts, vitrectomy, etc.). This involves direct interaction with the patient's body during surgery.
  • Device Description: The description details a microsurgical system with components like handpieces, tubing, cannulas, cutters, and probes, all used for surgical manipulation and fluid management within the eye.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, or urine) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs typically involve analyzing biological samples outside of the body.

Therefore, the Bausch + Lomb Stellaris Elite™ vision enhancement system is a surgical device, not an IVD.

captured by the operating microscope camera. The
combined image is output to a video monitor and/or a
video recorder.
Phaco HandpieceElectrically powered hand-held instrument for anterior
segment surgery. There are three
capabilities: Generation of ultrasonic energy for
disruption of lens tissue; provision for an aspiration path
for disrupted tissue from the eye, and the delivery of
saline irrigation fluid to the eye for standard, burst, or
pulsed phacoemulsification. A phacofragmentation
(posterior) handpiece is also available and has two
functions: generation of ultrasonic energy for disruption
of lens tissue and aspiration path for disrupted tissue
from the eye for standard, burst, or pulsed
phacofragmentation.
Laser Module
(Configuration
BL15455 only)The laser module uses an off the shelf 2 Watt 532 nm
diode pumped frequency doubled solid state laser
coupled coaxially with an off the shelf diode sourced 0.8
mW 635 nm red aiming beam. These are enclosed in a
separate box located inside the system. The laser module
can be driven in either single shot, continuous or pulsed
mode. The user may control treatment power, duty
