The Primary and only purpose of this device is to produce cuts necessary for the corneal transplantation. ## Device Story ASMOTOM Automated Trephine System is an AC-powered surgical instrument used by ophthalmologists to perform penetrating corneal cuts for transplantation. The device utilizes a 12V motor to drive a blade at 16,500 RPM to achieve automated, preset-depth corneal incisions. It incorporates suction rings to stabilize the eye during the procedure and is operated via hand and foot switches. The system provides adjustable blade oscillation to facilitate precise tissue cutting. By automating the trephination process, the device assists surgeons in preparing the donor or recipient cornea, potentially improving the consistency and safety of corneal transplant procedures compared to manual techniques. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics AC-powered trephine system. Materials: stainless steel and brass. Motor: 12V, 16,500 RPM. Vacuum: 0-800 mbar. Features: suction rings, adjustable blade oscillation, hand/foot switch control. Power: 90-240V, 50-60Hz. Form factor: handheld surgical instrument, 200g. ## Regulatory Identification A powered corneal burr is an AC-powered or battery-powered device that is a motor and drilling tool intended to remove rust rings from the cornea of the eye. ## Predicate Devices - Summit Technology K-B Microkeratome ([K980675](/device/K980675.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
