Intended Use
The CPC Probe is used to reduce the intraocular pressure associated with the eye disease Glaucoma.
Device Description
The Zeiss CPC Probe is a laser delivery system designed for use with the Visulas Diode II laser from Carl Zeiss. When used in tandem they form an ophthalmic laser treatment device. The contact probe is applied with slight pressure to the sclera and located approximately 1.5 mm behind the limbus. This method significantly increases the transmission of the sclera and also reduces the scattering of the laser beam. The power is adjusted and increased successively until the proper effect is heard. The power is then reduced and remaining coagulations can be performed if needed.

No
The description focuses on a laser delivery system and its mechanical application, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities like image processing, data analysis, or automated decision-making based on algorithms.

Yes
The device is explicitly stated to be used to reduce intraocular pressure associated with Glaucoma, which is a treatment for an eye disease.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "laser delivery system" used to "reduce the intraocular pressure" to treat glaucoma, indicating a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "laser delivery system" and a "contact probe," indicating it is a physical hardware component used in conjunction with a laser.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that the CPC Probe is a laser delivery system used in conjunction with a laser to treat glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure. It is applied directly to the eye (sclera) and delivers energy to the tissue.
  • No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the patient. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Zeiss CPC Probe is a therapeutic ophthalmic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Zeiss CPC Probe is a laser delivery system designed for use with the Visulas Diode II laser from Carl Zeiss. When used in tandem they form an ophthalmic laser treatment device. The CPC Probe is used to reduce the intraocular pressure associated with the eye disease Glaucoma. The contact probe is applied with slight pressure to the sclera and located approximately 1.5 mm behind the limbus. This method significantly increases the transmission of the sclera and also reduces the scattering of the laser beam. The power is adjusted and increased successively until the proper effect is heard. The power is then reduced and remaining coagulations can be performed if needed.

This device will be used in the same manner as the device mentioned above and will permit the Zeiss Visulas Diode II to be further utilized as a therapeutic ophthalmic laser. It incorporates the same intended uses as the Iris Medical G Probe and specifically is recommended for treating the following eye disease: Glaucoma.

Device Description

The Zeiss CPC Probe is a laser delivery system designed for use with the Visulas Diode II laser from Carl Zeiss. The Zeiss CPC Probe is substantially equivalent to the Iris Medical G Probe in that both are used to permit the individual companies laser to deliver impulses that photocoagulate the ciliary body of the eye in patients that are diagnosed with Glaucoma, thereby reducing the patient's intraocular pressure which slows the progress of the disease. The only differences between the two delivery units are: The approximate amount of times the contact tips can be sterilized, the material the tips are made of and slight differences in the power range.

  1. We are claiming substantial equivalence to the Iris Medical G-Probe, K 915236.

  2. The Zeiss CPC Probe is a laser delivery system designed for use with the Visulas Diode II laser from Carl Zeiss. When used in tandem they form an ophthalmic laser treatment device. The CPC Probe is used to reduce the intraocular pressure associated with the eye disease Glaucoma.
