## Indications for Use

For removal of vitreous and vitreal membranes during ophthalmic surgery.

## Device Story

Peregrine OptiPort Vitrectomy Probe is a single-use, 20 GA guillotine-style cutter for ophthalmic surgery. Device consists of a Delrin handpiece with a 20 GA stainless steel needle, connected to dual PVC tubing with luer connectors for aspiration and pneumatic activation. Operated pneumatically by a surgeon during ophthalmic procedures to remove vitreous and vitreal membranes. Mechanical guillotine action at the distal tip allows for precise tissue resection through a 1mm incision. Single-use design ensures sterility and eliminates cross-contamination risks.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

20 GA stainless steel needle; Delrin handpiece; dual PVC tubing; pneumatic energy source; 6-inch length; .035mm distal port; ETO sterilization (AAMI Overkill Method).

## Regulatory Identification

A vitreous aspiration and cutting instrument is an electrically powered device, which may use ultrasound, intended to remove vitreous matter from the vitreous cavity or remove a crystalline lens.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is phacofragmentation unit replacement tubing, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9.

## Predicate Devices
