Intended Use
The AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical system that facilitates anterior segment (i.e., cataract) ophthalmic surgery. The modular design allows the users to configure the system to meet their surgical requirements.
Device Story
The AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical console used by surgeons in clinical settings for cataract procedures. The system utilizes ultrasound energy via a phacoemulsification handpiece to emulsify the lens nucleus; irrigation and aspiration lines manage fluid exchange and lens removal; a peristaltic pump ensures stable aspiration rates; gravity-fed irrigation maintains intraocular pressure. Additional modes include diathermy for vessel coagulation and vitrectomy for vitreous removal. The system features a touch-screen display, foot pedal, and remote control for surgeon operation. It is an upgrade to the predicate system, incorporating technical modifications to improve ease of use and serviceability while maintaining identical fundamental technology and materials. The device facilitates surgical efficiency and patient safety during cataract extraction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. The device underwent verification and validation testing to confirm that functional requirements and system specifications were met. Performance was compared to the predicate device across all surgical modes, demonstrating equivalent safety, effectiveness, and performance profiles. No clinical data was required or presented.
Technological Characteristics
Modular console-based system; includes phacoemulsification handpiece, irrigation/aspiration lines, vitrectomy probe, diathermy, foot pedal, and remote control. Uses ultrasound energy for phacoemulsification and peristaltic pump for aspiration. Materials are identical to the predicate device and compliant with biocompatibility standards. System is AC-powered.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing anterior segment ophthalmic surgery, specifically cataract surgery.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A phacofragmentation system is an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY 3.1
The subject device is the AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System, which is an upgrade to the predicate device, The AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System (K060366, cleared in April 7, 2006). The predicate device is AMO's first-generation WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System. The subject device is classified under 21 CFR 886.4670 as a "phacofragmentation system," described as an AC-powered device with a
{1}------------------------------------------------
fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract.
The subject device is designed for use in performing anterior segment ophthalmic surgery (i.e., cataract). It is intended for use in performing phacoemulsification, diathermy. irrigation/aspiration, and vitrectomy. The system has a console for controlling the functions and powering the device; a display with a touch screen for selecting and activating functions: irrigation and aspiration lines; a foot pedal and remote controlling the device; an automated IV pole; a phacoemulsification handpiece for emulsifying the lens; and drainage packs. The materials, fundamental scientific technology, physical properties, and intended use of the subject device are identical to those of The AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System.
#### INDICATIONS FOR USE 3.2
The AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System is a modular ophthalmic microsurgical system that facilitates anterior segment (i.e., cataract) ophthalmic surgery. The modular design allows the users to configure the system to meet their surgical requirements.
### 3.3 TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE
The AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System is equivalent to its predicate device, the AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System (commercially marketed as the AMO WHITESTAR Signature phacoemulsification system, version 1.0) in terms of its intended use, technological characteristics, energy used, materials, chemical composition, manufacturing process, biocompatibility, and FDA-recognized standards used for performance testing. The subject device includes 1) a console for controlling the functions and for powering the device; 2) irrigation and aspiration lines for supplying balanced salt solution to and removing the fragmented lens and solution from the surgical site, respectively; 3) handpieces used for phacoemulsification, irrigation/aspiration, vitrectorny, and diathermy; 5) modular disposable tubing packs, which include fluid aspiration drainage bags; and 6) control accessories, including a remote control and a foot pedal. The system accessories used for the subject device are substantially equivalent to those used with the predicate device, the AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System.
The subject device provides the following main modes during anterior segment surgery: diathermy, phacoemulsification, irrigation/aspiration, and vitrectomy,
- A The Diathermy (bipolar) mode is used to coagulate blood vessels during a surgical procedure and, in some cases, to coagulate the conjunctiva following a procedure.
- A The Phacoemulsification mode is used to break up (emulsify) the nucleus of a lens, allowing it to be aspirated from the eye through a small incision.
- A The Irrigation/Aspiration mode allows for controlled aspiration of cortical material from the eye, while maintaining intraocular stability by replacing aspirated material with a balanced salt solution. A peristaltic pump provides a predictable and stable aspiration rate. Irrigation is gravity-fed, and intraocular
{2}------------------------------------------------
pressure can be regulated by adjusting the height of the balanced salt solution bottle.
- A The Vitrectomy mode is used to cut and remove vitreous from the anterior segment of the eye during secondary intraocular lens implantation, following vitreous loss associated with trauma, or during primary cataract surgery.
These surgery modes are substantially equivalent to the anterior segment surgery modes of the predicate device, the AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System.
The subject device, the AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System, is an upgrade to the predicate device, the AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System, cleared in K060366. The materials, fundamental scientific technology, physical properties, and intended use of the subject device are identical to those of The AMO Ophthalmic Surgical System. The indications for use of the subject device are identical to those for the predicate device for anterior segment surgery. The subject device also includes technical modifications to address user feedback and an expanding customer base, improve ease of use, and facilitate system service without disrupting surgical procedures.
### 3.4 SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTS
The AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System has undergone testing and is in compliance with the applicable requirements of safety standards. The subject device was found to perform equivalently to the predicate device during the following modes of anterior segment ophthalmic surgery: phacoemulsification, irrigation/aspiration, diathermy, and vitrectory. Therefore, the subject device and the predicate device have similar safety, effectiveness, and performance profiles.
All materials coming into contact with the patient fluid path are the same as those in the predicate device and have been cleared in previous 510(k) fillings.
#### SUMMARY 3.5
The technological characteristics that determine the functionality and performance of the subject device, the AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System, are substantially equivalent to those cleared under K060366 for anterior segment ophthalmic surgery. The AMO WHITESTAR Signature Phacoemulsification System will be manufactured in compliance with FDA and ISO quality system requirements. System validation and verification have demonstrated that the functional requirements and system specifications were met prior to commercial release.
