Keratoplasty & corneal harvesting Microlamellar keratoplasty

Device Story

The Summit Krumeich-Barraquer Microkeratome is an AC-powered ophthalmic surgical instrument used to shave corneal tissue for lamellar transplants or harvesting. It consists of a service terminal, microcomputer, vacuum pump, motor-driven oscillating blade, and suction ring. The device is operated by qualified personnel in a surgical setting. The operator sets the blade oscillation frequency and forward advancement speed (0.1 to 3.0 mm/sec). A stepper motor controls the automated advancement of the blade across the cornea, while the suction ring positions the device. The system includes an electrical and vacuum reserve to ensure procedure completion during power failure. The surgeon monitors the procedure via an LCD display and manometer. The device provides precise, automated corneal sectioning, which can improve the quality of the cut surface compared to manual methods, potentially benefiting patients by facilitating more accurate corneal transplantation procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

AC-powered keratome; materials include stainless steel, plastic, glass, and natural diamond. Features a stepper motor for automated blade advancement (0.1–3.0 mm/sec) and adjustable blade oscillation. Includes a vacuum-based suction ring for eye positioning. System components: service terminal, microcomputer, vacuum pump, and motor assembly. Sterilization via autoclave. Connectivity includes foot pedals for vacuum and cutting control, and an LCD display for parameter monitoring.

Indications for Use

Indicated for keratoplasty, corneal harvesting, and microlamellar keratoplasty in patients requiring partial thickness corneal transplantation or tissue removal.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

- Evetech Barraquer-Krumeich-Swinger Refractive Set, K954058 .
#### 7. Device Description:

The Summit Krumeich-Barraquer Microkeratome is an automated version of the Eyetech-Barraquer-Krumeich Swinger Refractive Set found substantially equivalent under K954058. Other than the automated cutting action option of the electronic model, both microkeratomes share the following basic description.

The Microkeratome is a medical "instrument" exclusively designed for use in ophthalmic surgery. This instrument should only be installed, used and serviced by suitably qualified personnel. The speed of forward movement during cutting and the frequency of oscillation of the blade can be individually set and controlled by the operator. The instrument will remain programmed until the data is overwritten by new data. For safety reasons the instrument is equipped with an electrical energy and vacuum reserve which is maintenance free. There is enough reserve energy and vacuum stored that in the event of an electrical failure or loss of main voltage at an inconvenient point in the procedure, the procedure can still be completed.

The primary function of this instrument is to make a thin anterior corneal lamellar section leaving the cornea attached nasally by means of a hinge or to remove or harvest the cornea completely. The suction ring is responsible for positioning the microkeratome over the eye. The microkeratome has an oscillating blade, which, with a defined advancing speed (0.1 to 3.0mm/sec.) is guided over the cornea of the patient. The frequency of oscillation and the advancing speed of the blade greatly influence the quality of the cut surface.
