This device will be used in ophthalmic applications, including posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy. This device is intended for use primarily by physicians and health care workers and may only be used under the supervision of a physician. This device will not be sold to the general public.

The VISULAS YAG III™is a Neodymium : Yttrium : Garnet (Nd: YAG) laser for ophthalmic applications, including posterior capsulotomy and peripheral iridotomy. The device operates at a wavelength of 1064 nm. The beam diameter is 10 um with a pulse length of

This 510(k) submission for the Carl Zeiss Meditec AG VISULAS YAG III™ is for a medical device (a laser) and not a diagnostic AI/ML device. Therefore, the typical acceptance criteria and study design elements requested in the prompt, which are geared towards evaluating the performance of AI algorithms, are not applicable.

The submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device (VISULAS YAG IIplus™) based on traditional medical device regulatory requirements.

Here's why the requested information cannot be provided from this document:

• No AI/ML Component: The VISULAS YAG III™ is a physical laser instrument used for ophthalmic procedures. It does not incorporate any AI or machine learning algorithms for diagnosis, prediction, or image analysis.
• Performance Metrics Differ: Acceptance criteria for a laser device typically relate to its physical specifications (e.g., wavelength, pulse duration, energy output, beam diameter, safety features) and its ability to perform its intended physiological functions safely and effectively. These are not reported in terms of diagnostic metrics like sensitivity, specificity, or AUC.
• Study Design Differs: The "study" referenced in this 510(k) is an internal comparison to a predicate device, focusing on functional equivalence and safety testing, not clinical performance studies with human readers or ground truth established by experts in an AI context.

Summary of available information as per the prompt's categories (with clarifications on why AI-specific aspects are not present):

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
   • Acceptance Criteria for a Laser: These would typically involve engineering specifications (e.g., maximum energy output per pulse, beam diameter, pulse length, wavelength) and safety standards compliance. These are established internally by the manufacturer and are not explicitly listed as "acceptance criteria" in this summary.
   • Reported Device Performance: The document states:
     • Wavelength: 1064 nm
     • Beam diameter: 10 um
     • Pulse length:
