The Oculostat, by Laser Center Development Corporation, is intended to reduce eye movement and stabilize the eye in any procedure in which the globe needs to be immobilized. The device is provided sterile and it is disposable for single use only.
Device Story
Oculostat is a sterile, single-use ophthalmic speculum combined with a scleral vacuum suction ring. Used by clinicians to stabilize the eye during procedures requiring globe immobilization. Operation involves retracting eyelids into the speculum and applying low vacuum (≤30mm Hg) to the sclera via a pump or spring-loaded syringe. The combination of eyelid-speculum friction and scleral vacuum holds the eye steady against extraocular muscle activity. The device provides a stable surgical field, potentially improving procedural precision and patient safety.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Medical quality plastic ophthalmic speculum integrated with a scleral vacuum suction ring. Operates via low vacuum (≤30mm Hg) generated by a pump or spring-loaded syringe. Sterile, single-use, disposable device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing procedures requiring globe immobilization to reduce eye movement and stabilize the eye.

Oculostat
SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO: The Oculostat™ by Laser Center Development Corporation is substantially equivalent to the Eye Fixation Speculum, by eyeFix, Inc., which was determined by FDA to be marketable per K964289.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE: The Oculostat by Laser Center Development Corporation consists of a scleral vacuum suction ring attached to a medical quality plastic ophihalmic speculum. After retracting the eyelids and inserting the lid margins into the speculum portion of the Oculostat, the suction-vacuum ring is attached to the sclera by sequentially contering, depressing, and enguing low vacuum (30mm Hg or less) by pump or spring-loaded syringe. The frictional forces between the eyelids and speculum, together with the vacuum ring, hold the eye steady despite extraocular muscle activity.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: The Oculostat, by Laser Center Development Corporation, is intended to reduce eye movement and stabilize the eye in any procedure in which the globe needs to be immobilized. The device is provided sterile and it is disposable for single use only.

Dear Dr. O'Donnell :
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations .
{2}------------------------------------------------
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
