Intended Use

The D.O.R.C. HEXON Illumination System is indicated for intraocular illumination in vitreoretinal surgery.

Device Description

The D.O.R.C. HEXON Illumination System consists of the Illumination Unit and accessories. The Illumination Unit uses a metal halide discharge lamp and utilizes an internal focusing system to focus the light into the end of the optical fiber. Accessories to the Illumination Unit include adapters and color filters. Accessories to the system include single use and reusable fiberoptic probes, fibers, and microinstruments which require storilization prior to use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification summary for the D.O.R.C. HEXON Illumination System. This type of submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device rather than conducting a full clinical study to prove novel performance or efficacy. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, specific study design, expert involvement, and detailed performance metrics as would be found in a clinical trial for a new therapeutic or diagnostic device is not applicable or not provided in this document.

Here's a breakdown based on the available information:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in the traditional sense of a performance study with specific thresholds. Instead, it demonstrates performance by comparing the device's characteristics to those of predicate devices to establish substantial equivalence.

CharacteristicAcceptance Criteria (Implied by Predicate - "YES")Reported Device Performance (HEXON Illum. System)
Indication: Endoillumination for vitreoretinal surgeryYES (Matches Predicate)YES
Lamp TypeAcceptable (Differences noted vs. Grieshaber)Metal Halide
Lamp RatingNot specified by Predicate24 watts
Light Output (lumens)Not specified by Predicate1850
Color Temperature (degrees K)Acceptable (Similar to VitLite I)4700
Variable IntensityYES (Matches Predicate)Yes
Wavelength Range (nm)Acceptable (Similar to VitLite I)400-800
UV filtrationYES (Matches Predicate)Yes
Infrared filtrationYES (Matches Predicate)Yes
Additional color filtration (Green, Yellow, Red, Blue)YES (Matches Grieshaber)Yes (for all listed)
Additional color filtration (Daylight)Not specified by Predicate (HEXON offers it)Yes
Multiple probe diametersYES (Matches Predicate)Yes
Panoramic light probeYES (Matches VitLite I)Yes
Straight probeYES (Matches Predicate)Yes
Illuminated accessoriesYES (Matches Predicate)Yes H

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

  • Sample Size: Not applicable. This is not a study assessing device performance on patient samples. The "test set" here refers to the characteristics of the device itself and its comparison to predicate devices, not data from patients.
  • Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data. The data provenance relates to the specifications and characteristics of the D.O.R.C. HEXON Illumination System and the predicate devices (Grieshaber Light Source and Escalon VitLite I), derived from engineering specifications and existing market information.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

  • Not applicable. Ground truth in a clinical or diagnostic sense is not being established. The "truth" here is the stated technical specifications of the devices being compared.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. There is no expert adjudication of clinical findings in this type of submission. The comparison is based on documented device specifications.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This device is an ophthalmic illumination system, not an AI or diagnostic tool that would involve "human readers" or AI assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This device is a medical instrument, not an algorithm.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • The "ground truth" for this 510(k) submission is the technical specifications and intended use of the legally marketed predicate devices. The D.O.R.C. HEXON Illumination System demonstrates substantial equivalence by showing that it has similar technological characteristics and the same intended use as these predicates.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of device development for a 510(k) involving an illumination system.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. See point 8.

Dear Mr. Furlong:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

{3}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
