Intended for use in the posterior segment to perform retinal photocoagulation, panretinal photocoagulation, focal photocoagulation and grid photocoagulation for vascular and structural abnormalities of the retina and choroid including: (532nm) - proliferative and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy - macular-edema - choroidal neovascularization associated with wet age-related macular degeneration - age-related macular degeneration - lattice degeneration - retinal tears and detachments (577nm) - proliferative and non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy - macular edema - choroidal neovascularization associated with wet age-related macular degeneration - age-related macular degeneration - lattice degeneration - retinal tears and detachments Intended for use in the treatment of ocular pathology in the anterior segment including: (532 nm and 577nm) - iridotomy - trabeculoplasty.
Device Story
PASCAL Synthesis is a stand-alone ophthalmic laser delivery console for use with slit lamps, LIOs, or probes. System delivers 532nm or 577nm laser energy to treat retinal/choroidal vascular/structural abnormalities and anterior segment pathologies. Operator (physician) controls system via LCD/touchscreen interface; laser activation via wired footswitch. Safety features include three-position key switch, emergency off switch, and door interlock. Device transforms electrical input into controlled laser output for photocoagulation. Clinical benefit includes precise, automated scanning delivery for retinal/anterior segment conditions. Output allows physician to perform targeted photocoagulation, iridotomy, or trabeculoplasty to manage ocular disease.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing included electrical safety (IEC 60601-1), electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2), and software validation (EN 60601-1-4, 62304). Animal study (GLP-compliant) compared retinal lesion appearance between PASCAL Synthesis and PASCAL Streamline. Results showed comparable lesion morphology, diameter, and clinical grade, with no systematic trend in diameter differences. No clinical human data provided.
Technological Characteristics
OPSL (Optically Pumped Semiconductor Laser) technology; 532nm or 577nm wavelengths; 30-2000 mW power output; 2-1000 ms exposure time; 100% duty cycle. Includes 635nm aiming beam. Stand-alone console with LCD/touchscreen, slit lamp connector, and wired footswitch. Electrical: 100-230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Class IV laser device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring treatment of ocular pathology in posterior and anterior segments, including proliferative/non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy, macular edema, wet age-related macular degeneration, lattice degeneration, retinal tears/detachments, iridotomy, and trabeculoplasty.

# V. Summary of Non Clinical Tests
Topcon utilized hardware testing (60601-1, -2-x; EN ISO14971-C; ASTM 4169-09&6653-01; ASTM D4169-09). electromagnetic testing (IEC 60601-1-2. 4. 6) software testing (EN 60601-1-41 62304 and animal testing to establish a basis for the determination of equivalence. The PASCAL® Synthesis performance characteristics were established by referencing the known performance characteristics of the predicate device. Specifications for the PASCAL® Synthesis system were established to assure that the predicate system and the Synthesis system performed in an equivalent manner. Performance specifications were set utilizing national and international standards for such devices with respect to output, indications for use, safety features and electromagnetic interference where it was established as suitable for the environment of use. All testing was conducted and established that the PASCAL® Synthesis system met or exceeded its design specifications and performed equally or better than the stated performance of the predicate.
The objective of the animal study was to compare the appearance of retinal laser lesions produced by the PASCAL Synthesis system with the predicate PASCAL Streamline system in an animal model. This prospective comparative study included delivery of laser lesions to two animals in accordance with Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards and the local Animal Institutional Review Board. Multiple lesions using varying spot sizes and intensities were created with each of the two lasers and assigned a clinical grade by the laser operator on a 5 point scale. When comparing lesions of the same clinical grades, the appearance of the lesions was similar. The diameter of the lesions was <20% in mean diameter. Within lesions of the same clinical grade, the variability was approximately 10%. Lesions were created using spot sizes of 100, 200 and 400 micron (50 micron was not part of the investigation). Powers ranged from 70 mW to 450 Endpoint Management algorithms were not used as part of this investigation. No mW. systematic trend in lesion diameter was observed. The Streamline device and the Synthesis device were comparable in a preclinical setting.
Conclusions drawn from these non-clinical tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective and performs at least as safely and as effectively as the legally marketed device identified in this Summary.

Dear Ms. Buckman:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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
