Intended Use
The Carriazo Pendular Microkeratome is indicated for shaving the cornea prior to lamellar (partial thickness) transplant or to create a flap in the cornea.
Device Story
The Carriazo Pendular Microkeratome is a surgical instrument used by ophthalmologists to create corneal flaps or shave the cornea for lamellar transplants. The device features a ball-shaped cutting head with a curved blade, guided by two separate mains, which moves in a pendular motion. It incorporates an adjustable vacuum system (up to 675 mm Hg) with a double-headed pump to secure the eye. The device includes electronic monitoring for cable breaks and automatic stop positioning. Compared to traditional straight-blade, single-pivot microkeratomes, the pendular design and dual-guide system aim to improve cutting stability and reduce stromal bed micro-scattering. The device is operated in a clinical or surgical setting to prepare the cornea for refractive or transplant procedures, providing consistent flap thickness and diameter as verified by clinical study.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical study conducted on 200 eyes to assess safety and effectiveness. An additional study focused on flap thickness, diameter, and hinge size across various cutting heads and suction rings. Results demonstrated consistent, predictable performance in meeting clinically-selected parameters and validated the labeled flap specifications. Clinical evidence supports that technical differences from predicates do not significantly alter clinical performance.
Technological Characteristics
Materials are biocompatible. Features include a ball-shaped cutting head, curved blade, and dual-guide rail system. Vacuum system is adjustable to 675 mm Hg with a double-headed pump. Includes electronic cable break detection and automatic stop positioning. Sterilization validated to a sterility assurance level of at least 10^-6. Conforms to EN standards and CE Mark requirements.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring corneal shaving prior to lamellar (partial thickness) transplant or corneal flap creation. Prescription use only.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A keratome is an AC-powered or battery-powered device intended to shave tissue from sections of the cornea for a lamellar (partial thickness) transplant.

{1}------------------------------------------------
The Carriazo Pendular Microkeratome is indicated for shaving the cornea Indications: prior to lamellar (partial thickness) transplant or to create a flap in the cornea.
Performance Data: A clinical study in 200 eyes was conducted to collect data to primarily provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome in a clinical setting.
> Moreover, an additional study has been performed at another site (Dr. Maria Arbelaez) with special focus on flap thickness, flap diameter and hinge size with different cutting heads and suction rings as declared in the product specification. This study provides evidence of the validity of labeled flap thicknesses and diameters which the different cutting heads are capable of producing.
> The studies include the consistent and predictable performance of the device in meeting the clinically-selected parameters.
> The differences in specifications between the Carriazo-Pendular (CP) Microkeratome and its predicates (e.g., the Carriazo-Barraquer or CB) have been evaluated. Selected differences in specifications include head/ring coupling (the CP couples automatically; predicates use manual coupling); the CP vacuum is adjustable to 675 mm Hg; the predicates are constant at 625 mm Hg); the CP has a double-headed vacuum pump and the predicates single-headed vacuum pumps; the CP electronically detects and signals a cable break; the predicates lack this feature); shape of the blade (CP is curved: the predicates are straight); the CP has a ball-shaped cutting head; the predicates are straight; at the stop in final position - the CP is automatic; the predicates are not; the CP has right and left eye rings, the predicates do not; and the CP head is guided by two separate mains; the predicates by a single pivot on the ring only and the head can move up and down during the cut which can result in micro-scattering on the stromal bed). Manv specifications of the Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome and its cited predicates are substantially the same, e.g., hinge width, diameter of the ring, conformance to EN standards and meeting CE Mark requirements.
> The tissue-contact materials used in the fabrication of the Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome have been shown to be biocompatible and the sterilization methods have been validated to a sterility assurance level of at least 10° and the packaging has been tested to assure its performance in maintaining the sterility of the components supplied sterile.
#### Summary:
The claim of substantial equivalence of the SCHWIND Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome is based on clinical studies, comparisons of its specifications, intended use, and other information with the claimed predicates.
{2}------------------------------------------------
The results of clinical studies constitute valid scientific evidence (as described in 21 CFR 860.7) which provides reasonable assurance that the Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome is safe and effective for its intended use. Moreover, the results of the studies also provide valid scientific evidence that the observed differences in specifications between the Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome and its predicates are not significant in terms of the clinical performance of the device. Further, the results of clinical studies corroborate its claim of substantial equivalence to the cited predicate microkeratomes.
- Based on the information in this notification SCHWIND eye-tech-solutions CONCLUSION: believes that Carriazo Pendular Microkeratome is substantially equivalent to the claimed predicates under conditions of use described in the labeling of the Carriazo-Pendular Microkeratome.
