## Device Story

Ophthalmic surgical laser system for cataract surgery; used in hospitals, ASCs, and surgeon offices. Inputs: ocular surface anatomy (anterior/posterior cornea, crystalline lens) via integrated OCT. Operation: femtosecond laser pulses create localized plasma and cavitation; 3D scanner directs laser beam in programmed patterns. Output: precise anterior capsulotomy, lens fragmentation, and corneal incisions. Physician-operated; OCT provides cross-sectional views to demarcate incisions relative to iris, pupil, and limbus. Benefits: facilitates efficient lens removal through precise, computer-controlled incisions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Testing included sterilization cycle validation (ISO 11135, AAMI TIR28), sub-system level verification, system validation, shelf-life (T=0 and T=24 months), and biocompatibility testing for the modified LOI component.

## Technological Characteristics

Class II ophthalmic femtosecond laser (1030±5 nm). Features integrated Spectral Domain OCT (820-930 nm) for imaging. System uses 3D scanner, microprocessor control, and sterile single-use Liquid Optics Interface (LOI). Laser mechanism: plasma/cavitation. Pulse duration <600 fs, max pulse energy 10 µJ, repetition rate 9-120 kHz. Sterilization: 100% Ethylene Oxide (EO) to 10^-6 SAL. Connectivity: FPGA-based watchdog for host PC/patient bed pairing.

### [807.92(a)(4)] Device Description

Catalys® Precision Laser System is an ophthalmic surgical laser system used Device Description: in healthcare facilities such as hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) and surgeon office settings. The Catalys® Precision Laser System is an electromedical device which contains software. System components include a single-use Liquid Optics™ Interface and optional Mobile Patient Bed.

> The Catalys® Precision Laser System (also referred to as the Catalys® System or System) is an ophthalmic surgical laser system indicated for use in cataract surgery to create a precise anterior capsulotomy and/or to effect lens fragmentation, thus facilitating efficient lens removal. The System also creates single plane and multi-plane arc cuts/incisions in the cornea, each of which may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same procedure. The System employs femtosecond ("FS") laser technology with integrated Optical Coherence Tomography ("OCT"), all of which are controlled and monitored by dedicated electronics. The System utilizes a common optical path for the OCT and femtosecond treatment laser (including the three-dimensional scanner and Liquid Optics™ [patient] Interface). As such, the beams are intrinsically co-registered and provide for precise overlap between imaging and treatment beams. Ocular surfaces recognized by the system software include anatomy within the anterior chamber, such as the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces and the anterior and posterior surfaces of the crystalline lens. Detailed axial or sagittal cross-sectional views are available via OCT, to demarcate proposed incisions versus adjacent ocular structures (for example, iris, pupil and limbus).

> The Catalys® Precision Laser System laser classification per 21 CFR 1040.10 and 21 CFR 1040.11 is Class 4.

#### [807.92(a)(5)] Intended Use

Indications for Use: The Catalys® Precision Laser System is indicated for use in patients undergoing cataract surgery for removal of the crystalline lens. Intended uses in cataract surgery include anterior capsulotomy, phacofragmentation, and the creation of single plane and multi-plane arc cuts/incisions in the cornea. each of which may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same procedure. Difference in Indications from Predicate Device: The subject device and the predicate device have the same indications for use.

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

### [807.92(a)(6)] Technical Characteristics

Technological Characteristics:

The modified System is unchanged in regard to its technological characteristics, indications for use, and intended uses. The scope of change for this submission is constrained to only the sterile, single-use patient-user interface (known as Liquid Optics Interface or LOI) that will be manufactured by an alternate third-party-manufacturer (TPM) Flextronics Medical (Tijuana, Mexico also known as Flex). The project name given to establishing Flex as an alternate manufacturer is Gen3 LOI, and therefore hereon the subject device will be referred to as Gen3 LOI (it does not indicate a new version of the device). The Gen2 LOI manufactured by current TPM, Juno Pacific (Soquel, CA, USA), remains unchanged.

The only modifications made to Gen3 LOI are: 1) a minor modification of sterilization cycle parameters (without change of modality or the sterility assurance level), 2) the use of alternate colorant in the Suction Seal Ring sub assembly and 3) removal of unnecessary feature in the form of tabs originally intended to hold the lens cone when not in use. These changes are minor and are intended to improve manufacturing capacity and reduce production costs. These changes do not introduce new risks, do not impact the safety, efficacy, nor substantial equivalence of the device.

Bench testing was performed to confirm the ability of the Gen3 LOI to meet the intended use with the System and to ensure that no new risks or adverse effects have been introduced, due to the proposed changes. Testing included sterilization cycle validation, sub-system level verification as well as system validation, shelf-life and biocompatibility testing.

|                               | Performance testing conducted for the Gen3 LOI has been carried out<br>according to the same principles and included the same tests as for the<br>reference Gen2 LOI. Tests were performed at baseline time point T=0 (before<br>aging) and at T=24 (after accelerated aging equivalent to 24 months). The<br>acceptance criteria remain unchanged between Gen2 and Gen3 LOI. All<br>acceptance criteria have been met. |

|                               | Biocompatibility testing was performed to demonstrate that the colorant used<br>in the processing of the Suction Seal Ring sub assembly of the Gen3 LOI is<br>biocompatible for the finished sterile product configuration. Testing<br>confirmed no leaching and no cytotoxicity for this minor colorant addition.                                                                                                      |
|                               | Bench testing presented for the subject device provides reasonable assurance<br>that the System with the LOI remains safe and effective for its intended use<br>and furthermore, that it is substantially equivalent to the identified reference<br>device.                                                                                                                                                             |
| Clinical Performance<br>Data: | The proposed device does not include any changes to the indications for use<br>or intended use of the primary predicate device. It does not introduce any new<br>harms or unacceptable risks, and therefore does not require clinical testing to<br>assess safety and performance or to demonstrate equivalence.<br>The performance data demonstrated that the device performs as intended.                             |

### [807.92(b)(3)] Conclusion

Conclusions from Non-The modified Catalys Precision Laser System is substantially equivalent to the Clinical and Clinical currently cleared Catalys Precision Laser System. The changes in the LOI do Tests: not raise new questions of safety and efficacy of the device. The Catalys Precision Laser System is substantially equivalent to the predicate in terms of indications for use, technological characteristics and fundamental scientific technology. The mechanism of laser cutting is the same for both systems, in that the ultra-short laser pulses create a highly localized plasma and subsequent cavitation event that, when controlled by a computerized scanning system, direct the laser beam through a three-dimensional pattern to produce a precise capsulotomy, fragment the crystalline lens and create arc cuts/incisions in the cornea.
