Indications for Use
The device is intended to perform laser endophotocoagulation in the posterior segment of the eye during vitreoretinal surgery.
Device Story
MAXReach Laser Probe is a sterile, single-use fiberoptic device for delivering laser energy during vitreoretinal surgery. It consists of a glass fiberoptic cable, a laser connector (905 SMA), a plastic handle for surgeon manipulation, and a distal stainless steel/Nitinol tube for insertion into the eye. The device is operated by a vitreoretinal surgeon in a clinical setting. It transmits laser energy from an external console to the target tissue in the posterior segment of the eye. By enabling precise endophotocoagulation, the device assists the surgeon in treating retinal conditions. The probe is compatible with specific ophthalmic laser systems.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included laser output, laser spot size, laser compatibility, ophthalmic cannula interface, and handle actuation. Biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity) and sterility testing (ISO 11135) were performed to confirm safety.
Technological Characteristics
Glass optical fiber; 304 stainless steel and Nitinol distal tubing; Delrin plastic handle; PVC jacketing; 905 SMA connector; 101-inch total length; 96-inch fiber length. Compatible with 500nm-1100nm laser wavelengths. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (ISO 11135).
Indications for Use
Indicated for laser endophotocoagulation in the posterior segment of the eye during vitreoretinal surgery at 500nm to 1100nm. Compatible with Alcon Constellation/Pure Point, Iridex GL, and Ellex Solitaire lasers.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ophthalmic photocoagulator is an AC-powered device intended to use the energy from an extended noncoherent light source to occlude blood vessels of the retina, choroid, or iris.

# Risk Management:
Risk Management has been implemented for the Vortex Surgical MaxReach Laser Probe and complies with ISO 14971, Medical Devices - Application of Risk Management to Medical Devices. The Vortex Surgical MAXReach Laser Probe is as safe and effective as the predicate device when used as intended.
## Summary of Non-Clinical Bench Testing:
Non-Clinical bench testing was performed on both the Vortex Surgical MaxReach Laser Probe and the predicate device. The Non-Clinical Bench Testing included laser output, laser spot size, laser compatibility, ophthalmic cannula interface, and handle actuation testing. The results of the testing indicate the Vortex Surgical MaxReach Laser Probe operates in a similar fashion as the predicate and ensures the Vortex Surgical MaxReach Laser Probe is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
### Conclusion:
The Non-Clinical bench testing indicates the device performance for the Vortex Surgical MaxReach Laser Probe is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Vortex Surgical has demonstrated through, sterility testing, biocompatibility testing, shelf-life testing and non-clinical bench test results that the Vortex Surgical MaxReach Laser Probe is safe and effective as the predicate device and the slight differences between the two raise no new issue of safety or effectiveness.
