## Description of Device:
The LenSx Laser System is an ophthalmic surgical laser which uses focused femtosecond laser pulses to create incisions and to separate tissue within the lens capsule, crystalline lens, and the cornea. A femtosecond light pulses is focused into a sufficiently small spot in order to achieve photodisruption of the tissue inside the focus. A tiny volume of tissue, a few microns in diameter, is thereby photodisrupted at the laser focus. A computer-controlled scanning system directs the focused laser beam throughout a threedimensional pattern to produce an incision. The surgical effect is produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses per second to produce a continuous incision or tissue separation.
The laser pulses are delivered through a Patient Interface accessory that is placed on the surface of the cornea and fixes the position of the eye with respect to the delivery system. Two models of the Patient Interface accessory are offered for use with the LenSx Laser System: the LenSx Laser Patient Interface and the LenSx SoftFit Patient Interface. Both models consist of a sterile, disposable applanating lens and suction ring assembly that contacts the cornea and fixes the eye with respect to the delivery system. In addition, LenSx SoftFit Patient Interface model comes with a soft contact lens that is positioned against the internal surface of the patient Interface glass. For cataract procedures, the LenSx SoftFit Patient Interface is used. For corneal flap procedures, the LenSx Laser Patient Interface is used.
## Indications for Use:
The LenSx Laser System is indicated for use:
- · In the creation of corneal cuts/incisions (single-plane, multi-plane and arcuate), anterior capsulotomy and laser phacofragmentation during cataract surgery. Each of these procedures may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same surgery.
{5}------------------------------------------------
- · In the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea
#### Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:
The subject of this Traditional 510(k) premarket notification is the software and hardware modifications to the LenSx Laser System and the removal of the indication for lamellar keratoplasty from the Indications for Use statement. All modifications were tested to show substantial equivalence to the predicate devices and do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the devices.
The LenSx Laser System is essentially the same device as the predicate LenSx Laser System. These modifications are categorized as follows:
- Hardware updates to improve manufacturability and serviceability. Hardware ● modifications to implement switchable laser operation at 50 or 150 kHz.
- . Software updates to implement the use of a planner Ethernet device for cataract surgery, re-enabling flap functionality that was previously cleared, and introducing an optional lens fragmentation pattern whose parameters are within previously cleared treatment ranges.
- Labeling updates to the operator's manual to reflect the implementation of the ● changes described above.
- . A revised Indications for Use statement that removes the indication for lamellar keratoplasty.
- . Extension of shelf-life to two (2) years for the sterile disposable LenSx Laser SoftFit Patient Interface.
All modifications were tested to show substantial equivalence to the predicate devices and do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the devices. Table A summaries the substantial equivalence between the modified device and the predicate devices.

## Table A: Substantial Equivalence Comparison
## Performance Data
The performance data supporting substantial equivalence of the LenSx Laser with the above modifications include:
- . Evaluation of the accuracy and reproducibility of the depths and geometry of each of the previously cleared treatment patterns using the modified LenSx Laser in comparison to acceptance criteria established for the predicate LenSx Laser.
{7}------------------------------------------------
- Evaluation of the accuracy and reproducibility of energy stability using the . modified LenSx Laser in comparison to acceptance criteria established for the predicate LenSx Laser.
#### Non-clinical Testing:
Successful verifications and process validations were performed on the modified device demonstrating equivalence to the predicate devices for the creation of corneal flaps, and for the creation of phacofragmentation patterns including lens fragmentation, capsulotomy treatments and corneal incision/cuts. Additionally, successful verification was performed on the modified device to verify the accuracy and reproducibility of laser energy at laser repetition rates of 150 kHz and 50 kHz. Finally, all hardware modifications were verified to demonstrate equivalence to the predicated device.
Non-clinical performance testing demonstrated that:
- . The modified LenSx Laser delivers a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility for the creation of corneal flaps suitable for LASIK compared to the predicate devices.
- The modified LenSx Laser delivers a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility ● for the creation of phacofragmentation patterns, including lens fragmentation treatments, capsulotomy treatments and corneal incisions/cuts.
- The modified LenSx Laser delivers a high degree of accuracy and reproducibility in the generation of laser pulse energies up to 2.6 uJ (for 150 kHz) and 15 uJ (for 50 kHz).
- Hardware modifications were verified to demonstrate equivalence of the ● modified device to the predicate devices. All hardware modifications met required verification criteria.
#### Clinical Testing:
The scope of the software and hardware modification did not require clinical testing to establish safety and effectiveness of the modified device.
#### Conclusions
The subject of this Traditional 510(k) premarket notification is the hardware and software modifications to the LenSx Laser System, the extension of shelf life for the LenSx Laser SoftFit Patient Interface, the removal of the indication for lamellar keratoplasty from the Indications for Use statement, and labeling changes to support
{8}------------------------------------------------
these modifications. All hardware and software modifications to the LenSx Laser System were tested to show substantial equivalence to the predicate devices and do not alter the safety and effectiveness of the devices.
With the exception of the removal from the indication for use for the creation of a cut/resection for lamellar keratoplasty, the modified device in this 510(k) is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
