## Intended Use

The Zyoptix XP Epi Separator System is indicated for the partial or complete delamination of the corneal epithelium in preparation for subsequent surgical procedures on the denuded cornea.

## Device Story

The Zyoptix XP Epi Separator System is an accessory for the Zyoptix XP Microkeratome; it consists of an Epi Head and a single-use Epi separator. The system uses an electrically driven oscillating blade to delaminate the corneal epithelium from the Bowman's layer. It is operated by a physician in a clinical setting. The device utilizes the existing microkeratome motor, suction ring, and footswitch control. By separating the epithelium rather than cutting a stromal flap, it prepares the corneal surface for subsequent procedures. The system is designed to provide a controlled mechanical separation of tissue layers.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Design verification was conducted to demonstrate compliance with product requirements and technical specifications. No clinical data was provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel and low carbon stainless steel. Principle: Electrically driven oscillating blade. Power: 6-9V DC. Form factor: Single-piece head accessory for existing microkeratome. Sterilization: EtO. Connectivity: None (mechanical accessory).

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Zyoptix XP Microkeratome ([K040204](/device/K040204.md))

Trade/Device Name: Zyoptix XP Epi Separator System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 886.4370 Regulation Name: Keratome, AC-Powered Regulatory Class: Class I Product Code: HNO Dated: August 24, 2006 Received: August 24, 2006

Dear Mr. Luce:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

{5}------------------------------------------------

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
