Intended Use
The intended use of the modified Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants is unchanged from the pre-amendment and cleared MIRA Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants. These devices are used to "buckle" the sclera in retinal reattachment surgery.
Device Story
Molded extruded silicone devices; used as scleral buckling implants in retinal reattachment surgery. Implants occupy space and provide compression to the sclera. Used by ophthalmic surgeons in clinical settings. Device function remains unchanged from predicate; modification limited to silicone material source.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing performed per FDA Tripartite Guidance and Guidance for Manufacturers of Silicone Devices Affected by Withdrawal of Dow Corning Silastic Materials. Results confirmed devices are non-toxic and biocompatible.
Technological Characteristics
Molded extruded silicone; provided sterile. Physical properties equivalent to original Dow Corning material. No electronic, software, or energy-based components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing retinal reattachment surgery requiring scleral buckling.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An extraocular orbital implant is a nonabsorbable device intended to be implanted during scleral surgery for buckling or building up the floor of the eye, usually in conjunction with retinal reattachment. Injectable substances are excluded.

# 5. INTENDED USE
The intended use of the modified Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants is unchanged from the pre-amendment and cleared MIRA Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants. These devices are used to "buckle" the sclera in retinal reattachment surgery.
# 6. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THIS DEVICE TO THE PREDICATE
- Operational Principles
The general operational principles are identical. Buckling implants are used to occupy space and provide compression for retinal reattachment. The change in materials has no impact on the function of these implants.
- Materials of Construction
The only difference between the modified Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants is the silicone material. This difference is minor and does not affect safety or effectiveness.
- Models Available
The models of Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants is unchanged.
- Sterility Status
The Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants, like the currently marketed devices, are provided sterile.
# 7. TESTING
- Non-clinical Testing
Non-clinical testing was performed to show that the new material used for the manufacture of MIRA Solid Silicone and Silicone Sponge Implants is not substantially

different from that of the original Dow Corning material. Physical testing was performed by the material supplier with results provided in FDA Master Files.
- Biocompatibility
There is no change in biocompatibility. Sterilized finished devices manufactured with new silicone material were tested for biocompatibility according to FDA "Tripartite Guidance" and according to "Table IV. Confirmatory Biological Testing" referenced in FDA "Guidance for Manufacturers of Silicone Devices Affected by Withdrawal of Dow Corning Silastic Materials. Testing demonstrated that the implants were non-toxic and biocompatible.
