The LenSx Laser system is described as an "ophthalmic surgical laser" used for creating corneal cuts/incisions, anterior capsulotomy, and laser phacofragmentation during various eye surgeries. Its purpose is to perform therapeutic interventions (surgical procedures), not to diagnose conditions. While it uses imaging modalities like Video Microscope and OCT for guidance during surgery, these are for procedure execution and precision, not for diagnostic purposes.
No
The LenSx Laser system is a complex hardware device that uses focused femtosecond laser pulses to create corneal cuts/incisions, anterior capsulotomy, and laser phacofragmentation. It includes a physical laser delivery system, sterile disposable applanating lenses and suction rings, and requires patient contact via these physical interfaces. While it contains software, it is fundamentally a hardware-based surgical laser, not a software-only medical device.
No.
Reasoning: The device is an ophthalmic surgical laser used for creating incisions and performing procedures within the eye, not for in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body.

Device Description
The LenSx Laser system is an ophthalmic surgical laser which uses focused femtosecond laser pulses to create vapor bubbles which disrupts/separates tissue (photodisruption) within the lens capsule, crystalline lens, and the cornea. A computer-guided delivery system places the laser pulses in a pattern to produce an incision/cut.
The laser pulses are delivered through a sterile, disposable applanating lens and suction ring that contacts the cornea and fixes the eye with respect to the laser delivery system.
The interface between the laser and patient is the Patient Interface that connects to the delivery system which is docked to the patient's cornea. Two models of the Patient Interface accessory are offered for use with the LenSx Laser: the LenSx Laser Patient Interface and the LenSx Laser SoftFit Patient Interface. Both models consist of a sterile, disposable applanating lens and suction ring assembly. The LenSx Laser SoftFit Patient Interface also comes with a soft contact lens that is positioned against the external surface of the Patient Interface glass. For cataract procedures, the LenSx Laser SoftFit Patient Interface is used. The LenSx Laser Patient Interface is used for corneal, flap, tunnel, and pocket incisions. Refer to the Instructions for Use supplied with the LenSx Laser Patient Interface for preparation and application.

7. SUMMARY OF STUDIES
7.1 Non-Clinical Testing
Biocompatibility
The LenSx Laser console is not intended to have patient contact. The materials used for the device console are common and widely used for ophthalmic and similar applications without reported heath concerns. Per ISO 10993-1, no further biocompatibility testing is required.
Sterilization and Shelf Life
The LenSx Laser console is provided non-sterile and is not intended to be sterilized during routine use. The system console is intended for use with sterile patient interface accessories.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)/ Wireless / Electrical Safety
Alcon assessed the EMC and electrical / mechanical safety of the LenSx Laser system according to IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-22, IEC 60601-4-2, and the final FDA guidance document "Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) of Medical Devices," issued June 6, 2022. The subject device met all requirements from the aforementioned standards and followed FDA recommendations where applicable from said guidance document.
Optical Radiation Safety
Alcon assessed the optical radiation safety of the LenSx Laser System and found that the retinal exposures are in compliance with limits for Group 1 devices defined in ANSI Z80.36-2021.
Software
Software verification and validation testing were conducted for the LenSx Laser system and met all requirements. In addition, documentation was provided as recommended by FDA
Page 10
510(k)# K243896 510(k) Summary: LenSx Laser System
Page 6 of 6
guidance for the "Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Device Software Functions," issued on June 14, 2023. The software was found to fit in the category of products that would require Enhanced Documentation Level because the failure or latent flaw of the device software function would present a hazardous situation with a probable risk of serious injury to either a patient, user of the device or others in the environment of use prior to the implementation of the risk control measures.
Alcon also fulfilled FDA's cybersecurity recommendations for the subject device in accordance with FDA guidance, "Cybersecurity in Medical Devices: Quality System Considerations and Content of Premarket Submissions," dated September 2023.
Performance Testing
The LenSx Laser system successfully completed bench testing which demonstrates the system's ability to meet all intended design specifications. Features introduced with the subject device have minor technological differences and do not adversely affect the safety and effectiveness of the device. Additional performance regression and toric markings capsular bag pull tests were performed to verify that these features function as intended and meet applicable design requirements. The performance data demonstrated that the device performs as intended.
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 predicate device, LenSx Laser system.
7.2 Animal/Clinical Testing
The system design, architecture, indications for use, materials, and patient interface accessories are the same for both the subject device and predicate device. Therefore, the risk assessment for the subject device did not require any animal or clinical testing as mitigation against any identified risks.
8 CONCLUSION
The modified LenSx Laser system shares the same intended use as the predicate device. The hardware and software changes between the predicate and the modified device do not raise new questions of safety and efficacy of the new device. The technological characteristics affecting clinical performance are similar to those of the predicate device previously listed. Risk profiles are equivalent between the subject device and the predicate device.
The predicate devices and the subject devices have been developed and manufactured in compliance with 21 CFR 820 and ISO 14971. Non-clinical testing noted above demonstrated that the functional requirements were met, and that the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device. Therefore, the modified LenSx Laser system is deemed substantially equivalent to the currently cleared, LenSx Laser system.
