Intended Use

The SL07 and SL08 laser slit lamps are intended for use in ophthalmology to deliver a thin, intense beam of light into the eye. Both include an adapter to deliver green laser light (532 nm) to the slit lamp by fiber optic. The user should refer to the User Manual provided with the laser for clinical use information for the laser or for additional information.

Device Description

The SL07 and SL08 slit lamps are commercially available slit lamps which have been modified by Aesculap-Meditec to accommodate an adapter through which green laser light, e.g., from the EyeLite™ Laser, is delivered to the slit lamps. The laser light (532 nm) can then be directed to selected sites within the eye by an ophthalmologist.

AI/ML Overview

This document describes the SL07 and SL08 Laser Slit Lamps, which are intended for use in ophthalmology to deliver a thin, intense beam of light into the eye. They also include an adapter for delivering green laser light (532 nm) via fiber optic.

Here's the breakdown of the requested information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

This 510(k) submission is for substantial equivalence. Therefore, there are no specific performance acceptance criteria or reported device performance metrics in the typical sense (e.g., sensitivity, specificity). Instead, the device's performance is accepted based on its similarity to legally marketed predicate devices.

The "Performance Data" section explicitly states:

"The specifications and intended uses of the SL07 and SL08 laser slit lamps are the same or very similar to those of the claimed predicate devices and other legally marketed slit lamps (as devices or as accessories to ophthalmic lasers). There are no significant differences between the SL07 and SL08 devices and claimed predicates under conditions of intended use. Because of this, performance data were not required."

The comparison table highlights key characteristics of the SL07 and SL08 in comparison to predicate devices, demonstrating their equivalence in design and function rather than quantitative performance.

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

  • Not applicable. This submission relies on substantial equivalence to predicate devices, not on a new clinical performance study requiring a test set of data.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):

  • Not applicable. No new ground truth for a test set was established. The basis for safety and effectiveness is the established usage and regulatory approval of predicate devices.

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

  • Not applicable. No test set was used.

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. No MRMC study was conducted. This device is a modified slit lamp, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool.

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

  • Not applicable. This device is a physical instrument (slit lamp) with an adapter for laser delivery, which is inherently used with a human ophthalmologist. It does not involve a standalone algorithm.

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

  • The "ground truth" in this context is the established safety and effectiveness of the legally marketed predicate devices (Zeiss and Haag Streit Slit Lamps, Infinitech Multi-Spot Slit Lamp laser Adapter, Oculight SLx), as well as the general understanding of ophthalmic slit lamps as described in 21 CFR 886.1850 and ophthalmic lasers in 21 CFR 886.4390. The modifications made to the slit lamps (to accommodate the laser adapter) were deemed not to raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. No training set was used, as this is not an AI/machine learning device.

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

  • Not applicable. No training set was used.

Legally marketed predicate devices:Zeiss and Haag Streit Slit Lamps; Infinitech Multi-Spot Slit Lamp laser Adapter for Haag Streit Slit Lamp; Oculight SLx
Description of Devices:The SL07 and SL08 slit lamps are commercially available slit lamps which have been modified by Aesculap-Meditec to accommodate an adapter through which green laser light, e.g., from the EyeLite™ Laser, is delivered to the slit lamps. The laser light (532 nm) can then be directed to selected sites within the eye by an ophthalmologist.
Intended Use:The SL07 and SL08 slit lamps are intended for use in ophthalmology to deliver a thin, intense beam of light into the eye. Both include an adapter to deliver green laser light (532 nm) to the slit lamp by fiber optic. The user should refer to the User Manual provided with the laser for clinical use information for the laser or for additional informationThis intended use is the same or similar to that for the claimed predicate devices (see below) and for slit lamps as described in 21 CFR 886.1850, i.e., to direct a thin, intense light into the eye.
Performance Data:The specifications and intended uses of the SL07 and SL08 laser slit lamps are the same or very similar to those of the claimed predicate devices and other legally marketed slit lamps (as devices or as accessories to ophthalmic lasers). There are no significant differences between the SL07 and SL08 devices and claimed predicates under conditions of intended use.Because of this, performance data were not required.
CONCLUSION:Based on the foregoing, Aesculap-Meditec believes that the SL07 and SL08 laser slit lamps are substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Kelley:

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 (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) 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 Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS 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.

Page 2 - Mr. William T. Kelley

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

If you desire specific advice for your devices 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 devices, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
