Device Description
The Summit Krumeich-Barraquer Microkeratome is an automated version of the Eyetech-Barraquer-Krumeich Swinger Refractive Set found substantially equivalent under K954058. Other than the automated cutting action option of the electronic model, both microkeratomes share the following basic description. The Microkeratome is a medical "instrument" exclusively designed for use in ophthalmic surgery. This instrument should only be installed, used and serviced by suitably qualified personnel. The speed of forward movement during cutting and the frequency of oscillation of the blade can be individually set and controlled by the operator. The instrument will remain programmed until the data is overwritten by new data. For safety reasons the instrument is equipped with an electrical energy and vacuum reserve which is maintenance free. There is enough reserve energy and vacuum stored that in the event of an electrical failure or loss of main voltage at an inconvenient point in the procedure, the procedure can still be completed. The primary function of this instrument is to make a thin anterior corneal lamellar section leaving the cornea attached nasally by means of a hinge or to remove or harvest the cornea completely. The suction ring is responsible for positioning the microkeratome over the eye. The microkeratome has an oscillating blade, which, with a defined advancing speed (0.1 to 3.0mm/sec.) is guided over the cornea of the patient. The frequency of oscillation and the advancing speed of the blade greatly influence the quality of the cut surface.

No
The description focuses on automated mechanical control of cutting parameters (speed, oscillation frequency) and safety features (energy/vacuum reserve). There is no mention of learning, adaptation, or data-driven decision-making, which are hallmarks of AI/ML.

No
The device is used for surgical procedures (keratoplasty, corneal harvesting, microlamellar keratoplasty) to prepare or remove corneal tissue, rather than to treat a disease or condition therapeutically.

No

This device is described as a surgical instrument used to make a thin corneal section or remove the cornea for transplantation, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a medical "instrument" with physical components like an oscillating blade, suction ring, and mechanisms for controlling speed and oscillation frequency. It also mentions electrical energy and vacuum reserves, indicating hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Keratoplasty & corneal harvesting; Microlamellar keratoplasty." These are surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's eye.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "medical 'instrument'" used in "ophthalmic surgery." It's designed to make cuts on the cornea.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device operates directly on the patient's cornea within the body.

The description clearly indicates a surgical instrument used for direct intervention on a living patient, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Ankerud:

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 .

4

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.
