Pattern Scanning Laser Trabeculoplasty (PSLT) software is intended for use with the PASCAL Synthesis and PASCAL Synthesis TwinStar for procedures in trabeculoplasty in open angle glaucoma.
Pattern Scanning Laser Trabeculoplasty (PSLT) is a software option for the currently marketed PASCAL Streamline (K171488). It represents an enhancement intended to simplify the laser trabeculoplasty procedure by applying a fixed pattern of locations to the trabecular meshwork instead of a single spot. Additionally, this modification offers greater multi-functionality for the management of glaucoma. PSLT provides rapid, defined, uniform and minimally traumatic (sub-visible) computer-guided treatment with exact abutment of the patterns. The patterns readily align to the trabecular meshwork, allowing more rapid and easier applications. Once the software is enabled, the PSLT feature is always available.
The manufacturer, Topcon Medical Laser Systems, Inc., has leveraged a previous clinical study (K171488) conducted on the predicate device, PSLT for PASCAL Streamline, to support the substantial equivalence of the new devices, PSLT with PASCAL Synthesis and PSLT with PASCAL Synthesis TwinStar. This submission does not present a new study with specific acceptance criteria for a new AI/software algorithm performance assessment, but rather asserts that the performance of the new devices is similar to the predicate based on hardware similarities and shared software.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria and a new study proving the device meets those criteria are not explicitly provided or applicable in the context of this 510(k) summary, as it relies on equivalence to a previously cleared device. The summary emphasizes that the PSLT software feature's specifications and performance remain unchanged, and the laser modalities have similar safety and efficacy profiles.
However, I can extract information related to the previous clinical study for the predicate device (K171488), which serves as the basis for the current device's claimed safety and effectiveness.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided text, indicating where information is not present or not directly applicable to a new performance study for the current submission:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Acceptance Criteria: The K171488 study defined clinical endpoints as its primary and secondary measures of success.
- Primary Endpoint: Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) from baseline to 1-month post-surgery, as measured by tonometry.
- Secondary Endpoint: Success at 1-month post-surgery as measured by tonometry and CLS (likely "clinical") derived parameters.
- Reported Device Performance:
- The document states: "Results of the clinical investigation support the indications for use of the PSLT with PASCAL Streamline for procedures in trabeculoplasty in patients with open angle glaucoma by achieving clinical endpoints. Therefore, the clinical study confirms that the device is safe and effective as used according to the instructions for use."
- Specific numerical results or thresholds for "achieving clinical endpoints" are NOT provided in this summary. For example, it doesn't state "IOP reduction of X mmHg was considered successful" or list the average IOP reduction observed.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Sample Size: A sample size of 58 eyes was used.
- Data Provenance: The study was a "prospective, randomized, controlled study." The country of origin of the data is not specified in the provided text.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts
- This is not applicable to this study. The ground truth for this clinical study was based on physiological measurements (IOP, clinical parameters) and diagnosis of open angle glaucoma, not expert interpretation of images or other data requiring multiple readers for adjudication.
4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- This is not applicable as the ground truth was based on objective physiological measurements and predefined diagnostic criteria, not subjective interpretations requiring adjudication.
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
- No, an MRMC study was NOT done. This was a clinical effectiveness study assessing a laser treatment device, not an AI assistance tool for human readers.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- This is not applicable. The PSLT is a software option that guides a laser treatment. Its "performance" is in guiding the laser to achieve a clinical outcome in a patient, not in making a diagnostic prediction independently. The clinical study evaluated the device (laser with PSLT software) as a whole, not just the software in isolation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)
- The ground truth was based on clinical outcomes data (change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) and success measured by tonometry and CLS derived parameters) in patients with a diagnosis of open angle glaucoma.
8. The sample size for the training set
- This information is not provided and is likely not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission which relies on clinical equivalence rather than a new machine learning algorithm that requires a distinct training and test set. The PSLT software applies "a fixed pattern of locations" - suggesting a rule-based or predefined algorithm rather than one that "learns" from a training set in the typical machine learning sense.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- This is not applicable for the reasons stated in point 8.

Pattern Scanning Laser Trabeculoplasty (PSLT) software is intended for use with the PASCAL Streamline for procedures in trabeculoplasty in open angle glaucoma.
Pattern Scanning Laser Trabeculoplasty (PSLT) is a software option for the currently marketed PASCAL Streamline (K100019 and K111108). It represents an enhancement intended to simplify the laser trabeculoplasty procedure by applying a fixed pattern of locations to the trabecular meshwork instead of a single spot. Additionally, this modification offers greater multi-functionality for the management of glaucoma. PSLT provides rapid, defined, uniform and minimally traumatic (sub-visible) computer-guided treatment with exact abutment of the patterns readily align to the trabecular meshwork, allowing more rapid and easier applications. Once the software is enabled, the PSLT feature is always available.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the PSLT for PASCAL Streamline device, based on the provided text:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
Acceptance Criteria (Clinical Endpoints) | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Primary Endpoint: Change in IOP from baseline to 1-month post-surgery as measured by tonometry. | The clinical investigation supported the indications for use by achieving clinical endpoints. "Both laser modalities [PSLT and SLT (implied from the study design where patients received both treatments)] had similar safety and efficacy profiles." The sample size calculation aimed to "reject the null hypothesis of an inter-group IOP difference of 3 mmHg." |
Secondary Endpoint: Success at 1-month post-surgery as measured by tonometry and CLS derived parameters. | The clinical investigation supported the indications for use by achieving clinical endpoints. "Both laser modalities had similar safety and efficacy profiles." |
Overall Safety and Effectiveness | "Clinical study conclusion confirms that the device is safe and effective as used according to the instructions for use." |
Note: The document generally states that the device met the clinical endpoints and had similar safety and efficacy profiles to the comparator, but it does not provide specific numerical values for the achieved IOP reduction or success rate for the PSLT device itself. It only mentions the target difference for the sample size calculation (an inter-group IOP difference of 3 mmHg).
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size (Test Set): 58 eyes.
- Data Provenance: The study was a "prospective, randomized, controlled study" of patients with open-angle glaucoma. The text does not explicitly state the country of origin, but it implies a single investigational site ("standard criteria of the investigational site"). The study design describes patients requiring bilateral laser trabeculoplasty, suggesting each patient received both PSLT and a comparator treatment (likely standard SLT, though not explicitly named as "SLT" in the study design section, it's mentioned in inclusion/exclusion for prior procedures).
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
The document does not provide details on the number of experts or their qualifications specifically used to establish ground truth for the test set beyond the general term "observational site" and patients' diagnosis of open angle glaucoma. Clinical endpoints were measured by tonometry and CLS derived parameters. It is implicitly assumed that ophthalmologists or trained clinical staff performed these measurements.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
The document does not explicitly state an adjudication method.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
No, a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not explicitly mentioned or described. The clinical study was a patient-level comparative effectiveness study comparing two laser modalities (PSLT and an implied standard SLT) on clinical outcomes (IOP reduction and success rates), not a diagnostic study evaluating reader performance with or without AI assistance.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study
No, the PSLT software is an enhancement to the PASCAL Streamline laser system, simplifying the laser application procedure. It assists the clinician in applying the laser, rather than performing an autonomous diagnostic or treatment decision. Therefore, a standalone performance study in the sense of an "algorithm-only" diagnostic AI was not applicable or performed.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the clinical study was based on clinical outcomes data measured directly from patients:
- Change in Intraocular Pressure (IOP) from baseline, measured by tonometry.
- "Success" at 1-month post-surgery, measured by tonometry and CLS derived parameters.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
The provided text does not mention a training set because the PSLT is a software option for a laser surgical instrument, simplifying treatment delivery. It's not a machine learning model that requires a distinct training and test set in the traditional sense of AI diagnostics. The software capabilities were validated through a clinical performance study.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
As no training set is mentioned or implied for an AI/ML model, the establishment of ground truth for a training set is not applicable here. The software's functionality was validated through engineering verification and validation, as well as the clinical study described.

PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System is intended for use to perform single-spot photocoagulation in the posterior segment (retina, choroid) and in the anterior segment (iris, trabecular meshwork) as well as pattern-scanning photocoagulation in the non-macular retina of the eye. Single-spot delivery may be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope or an indirect ophthalmoscope. Pattern delivery may be performed using a slit lamp biomicroscope.
PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ is an ophthalmic scanning laser system. The system can perform single shot photocoagulation as is performed conventionally. At the physician's discretion, the system provides for a single laser spot treatment or the option of using a selectable pattern of delivering multiple laser spots simultaneously. Pattern scanning allows the physician to enhanced efficiency and reduced patient discomfort.
The PASCAL Synthesis™ Laser System (parent product to the PASCAL Synthesis Twinstar™) included 532 nm/577 nm wavelengths and was cleared via K123542. The subject device for this submission is a line extension named PASCAL Synthesis Twinstar and will include 577 nm/638 nm laser wavelengths.
The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the PASCAL® Synthesis™ TwinStar™ Ophthalmic Scanning Laser System. It focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices, rather than establishing acceptance criteria and proving performance against them in the way an AI/ML device submission would.
Therefore, many of the requested points, especially those related to acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics (like sensitivity, specificity, F1 score), sample sizes for test/training sets with ground truth, expert adjudication, or MRMC studies for AI devices, are not present in this document.
This device is a physical laser system, not an AI/ML diagnostic tool. The "performance" discussed relates to its physical characteristics and biological effects on animal tissue, not its ability to interpret medical data or assist human readers.
However, I can extract information relevant to the study that was done to support the device and map it to the closest possible aspects of your request.
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
No explicit acceptance criteria in the form of numerical performance targets (e.g., sensitivity > X%) are stated. The study's conclusion of "similarity" is the implicit acceptance.
Criterion/Aspect | Reported Device Performance |
---|---|
Novel Feature Being Compared: 638 nm red treatment laser | Similarity of Lesion Morphology: No difference in lesion morphology between the subject device (PASCAL Synthesis TwinStar 638 nm red laser) and the reference predicate (Novus Multiwavelength 647 nm red laser) was observed funduscopically or in OCT for equivalent lesion ophthalmoscopic grade. |
Lesion Width Measurement Difference (Quantitative Comparison): | In an analysis of OCT width measurements, the difference in lesion width for the predicate and subject device was ** |

The Pascal Photocoagulator indications for use are the following:
Intended for use in the treatment of ocular pathology in both the posterior and anterior segments.
Retinal photocoagulation, panretinal photocoagulation, focal photocoagulation and grid photocoagulation for vascular and structural abnormalities of the retina and choroid including:
- proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy
- macular edema
- choroidal neovascularization
- branch and central retinal vein occlusion
- age-related macular degeneration
- lattice degeneration
- retinal tears and detachments
- Iridotomy, iridectomy and trabeculoplasty in angle closure and open angle glaucoma.
The Pascal laser photocoagulator is an integrated system comprising solid state aiming and treatment lasers, control electronics, graphical user interface, slit-lamp, and table. It is intended for use in the treatment of ocular pathology.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for the Pascal™ Photocoagulator. A 510(k) submission seeks to demonstrate "substantial equivalence" to a predicate device, rather than proving the device meets specific acceptance criteria through a clinical study. Therefore, most of the requested information regarding acceptance criteria, sample sizes, expert involvement, and ground truth for a study proving device performance is not applicable in this context.
Here's a breakdown of the available information:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
- Not Applicable. This 510(k) submission does not establish or report against specific performance acceptance criteria from a clinical trial in the way a PMA submission might. Instead, it seeks to demonstrate substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. The "performance" demonstrated is that the device has "the same or similar technological characteristics" as the predicate devices.
2. Sample sized used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
- Not Applicable. No clinical "test set" and corresponding sample size are mentioned for proving specific performance criteria of the Pascal™ Photocoagulator in this document. The submission relies on non-clinical tests and comparison to predicates.
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 ground truth establishment by experts for a clinical study is described in this document.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
- Not Applicable. No adjudication method for a clinical test set is described.
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. The Pascal™ Photocoagulator is a laser surgical instrument, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or assistive device that would typically involve a multi-reader multi-case study for human reader improvement.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
- Not Applicable. This is a medical device (laser photocoagulator) and not an AI algorithm. Therefore, a "standalone algorithm performance" study is not relevant.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
- Not Applicable. As no clinical study to prove novel performance criteria is detailed, no specific ground truth for such a study is mentioned. The "truth" in a 510(k) context is that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, based on technological characteristics and intended use.
8. The sample size for the training set
- Not Applicable. This document does not describe a machine learning algorithm or a "training set."
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
- Not Applicable. Not applicable as there is no training set mentioned.
Summary of what is available from the document:
- Device Name: Pascal™ Photocoagulator
- Intended Use: Treatment of ocular pathology in both the posterior and anterior segments (detailed list provided).
- Basis for Clearance: Substantial equivalence to predicate devices (Lumenis Novus Varia, Laserex LP1 532, Iridex Oculight SL/SLx, Iridex Medical Oculight GL, Infinitech Slit Lamp Laser Adapter).
- Technological Characteristics Compared: Treatment wavelengths, laser active medium, pumping system, aiming beam, mode of operation, exposure duration, power, treatment intervals, spot size, semi-automatic repeat mode, controls and displays, laser energy delivery control (foot switch), and slit lamp delivery.
- Nonclinical Tests: Performance test results, system and software hazard analysis information, and system and software verification and validation information were submitted. These are non-clinical and relate to safety and basic functional performance, not clinical efficacy or specific acceptance criteria met in a patient study.
