## Indications for Use

The LaFaci Surgical System is intended for use during LASIK procedures. The LaFaci Surgical System consists of a reusable Handpiece, Surgical Cart, and disposable Tubing Accessories. The LaFaci System provides ocular fixation and containment of surgical field, corneal flap placement and flap re-positioning, and is used for ophthalmic plume aspiration, fluid aspiration, and the delivery of micro filtered air to the surgical field.

## Device Story

LaFaci Surgical System integrates multiple LASIK surgical functions into single handpiece; system includes reusable handpiece, surgical cart, and disposable four-lumen tubing. Functions include: sterile saline irrigation; fluid aspiration; micro-filtered air delivery; plume evacuation; manual ocular fixation; corneal flap placement/repositioning via integrated spatula platform. Used in surgical setting by ophthalmologists. Cart features adjustable instrument tray and tubing swing arm for operational efficiency. System consolidates tools previously requiring separate devices, simplifying surgical workflow and maintaining sterile field.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical performance data was required or performed. Evidence is based on bench testing of the handpiece and the plume evacuation, irrigation, aspiration, and air delivery functions, which were determined to be acceptable.

## Technological Characteristics

System comprises reusable handpiece, surgical cart, and disposable four-lumen tubing. Materials are biocompatible. Functions include fluid/plume management and mechanical ocular fixation/flap manipulation. Electrical safety compliant with UL 60601-1 and EN 60601-1-1-2. No software-based algorithms or automated processing described.

## Regulatory Identification

Air-handling apparatus for a surgical operating room is a device intended to produce a directed, nonturbulent flow of air that has been filtered to remove particulate matter and microorganisms to provide an area free of contaminants to reduce the possibility of infection in the patient.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an air handling bench apparatus, an air handling room apparatus, or an air handling enclosure apparatus, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

### Device Description

LaFaci™ Surgical System combines multiple functions commonly utilized during LASIK into a single hand piece allowing for the delivery of sterile balanced saline irrigation solution to the surgical field, fluid aspiration from the surgical field, delivery of micro-filtered air to the surgical field, and plume evacuation from the surgical field. All of these functions are generated and delivered from the LaFaci™ Surgical Cart to the LaFaci™ Handpiece through fourlumen surgical tubing.

LaFaci™ Handpiece also provides manual ocular fixation, and provides a platform for the temporary placement of the corneal flap during ablation. In addition the platform can be manually pivoted over the corneal bed thereby providing a spatula means to reposition the flap onto the stromal bed.

The LaFaci™ Surgical Cart accessories include an adjustable instrument tray, and handpiece tubing swing arm that provides sterile setup and operational efficiency during surgery. The LaFaci™ Surgical Cart disposable accessories include the LaFaci

Handpiece Tubing Set (sterile) and the LaFaci Smoke/Fluid Evacuation Accessories (non-sterile).

#### Indications

- The LaFaci Surgical System is intended for use during LASIK for Use procedures. The LaFaci Surgical System consists of a reusable Handpiece, Surgical Cart, and disposable Tubing Accessories. The LaFaci System provides ocular fixation and containment of surgical field, corneal flap placement and flap re-positioning, and is used for ophthalmic plume aspiration, irrigation, fluid aspiration, and the delivery of micro filtered air to the surgical field.
# Nonclinical

### Performance

The materials with patient contact are biocompatible. Bench testing of the Handpiece and the plume evacuation, irrigation, aspiration, and air delivery functions have been tested and determined to be acceptable. The LaFaci Surgical System will comply with UL 60601-1 and EN

60601-1-1-2 electrical testing.

### Clinical

Performance No clinical performance data was required or performed.

Conclusion The LaFaci Surgical System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices that are currently being marketed.

Dear Ms. Powell:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
