A selected microscissors attachment screws on to the tip of the D7108 Microscissors Handpiece. The D7108 handpiece attaches to the Storz D7106 Microscissors Drive Tube, which in turn connects to the Storz PREMIERE® or the Storz DAISY™ Ophthalmic Microsurgical System. As the “Scissors” function of the microsurgical system is activated, the piston inside the D7108 handpiece is driven forward and backward by air pressure, causing the blades of the attached microscissors to open and close rapidly. The handpiece also has a manual over-ride lever near the tip of the handpiece that allows the physician to manually operate the scissors without requiring external power. The D7108 handpiece, as connected to the D7106 drive tube and detachable microscissors, is intended to be used with the Storz PREMIERE® or Storz DAISY™ Microsurgical Systems to cut intraocular tissue in the posterior segment of the eye during ophthalmic surgical procedures. **Predicate Device:** The Storz D7108 Microscissors Handpiece and D7106 Microscissors Drive Tube, as used together, are substantially equivalent to the Escalon™ Trek Medical Vertical Automated Scissors. **Predicate Comparison:** A chart comparing the Storz D7108 and D7106 to the predicate device, demonstration substantial equivalence, is attached.
