## Intended Use

ZEPTO Precision Capsulotomy System is indicated for use in performing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery.

## Device Story

System comprises Power Console, disposable handpiece, and disposable fluid isolator. Handpiece features distal silicone suction cup and circular cutting element. Surgeon inserts tip into anterior chamber via corneal incision; suction applied via console to seat cutting element on anterior capsule. Console delivers 4ms electrical pulses to cutting element; rapid phase transition of water molecules between element and capsule creates 5mm capsulotomy. Nurse assistant introduces BSS via fluid displacement syringe to release suction; capsule button removed manually with forceps. Used in clinical setting by ophthalmologists. Benefits include precise, circular capsulotomy during cataract surgery.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical design verification and validation testing, including biocompatibility, sterility, packaging integrity, transportation, electromagnetic compatibility, electrical safety, shelf-life, performance/functionality, software, and human factors evaluation.

## Technological Characteristics

System uses rectified RF pulsed DC energy. Components include power console, disposable handpiece with silicone suction cup, and fluid isolator. Sterile via Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity includes wired/wireless footswitch. Dimensions produce 5.0mm nominal capsulotomy. Software-controlled power delivery.

## Regulatory Identification

A radiofrequency electrosurgical cautery apparatus is an AC-powered or battery-powered device intended for use during ocular surgery to coagulate tissue or arrest bleeding by a high frequency electric current.

Dear Neal Hartman:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

#### Device Description

The Subject Device consists of a Power Console. Disposable Handbiece, and a disposable Fluid Isolator. The Disposable Handpiece's power cord connector is connected to the front panel of the Power Console to provide power for the capsulotomy procedure. The suction tubing from the Disposable Handpiece is connected to the Fluid Isolator. The Fluid Isolator is then connected to the Power Console's front panel to provide suction during the treatment to a suction cup containing the cutting element. The functional portion used for capsulotomy is the capsulotomy tip located at the distal end of the Disposable Handpiece, which consists of a circular, silicone suction cup, and circular cutting element. Energy pulses are delivered to the cutting element to create the capsulotomy.

Prior to conducting the capsulotomy, the Disposable Handpiece's suction line is primed Balanced Salt Solution (BSS).

The capsulotomy tip is elongate by sliding the finger slider distally, this allows it to be easy inserted into the anterior chamber through the corneal incision. Once inserted into the anterior chamber the finger slider is pulled back to return the suction cup/cutting element to their original circular shapes. After centering the cutting element at the desired location on the anterior capsule, suction is initiated on the Power Console, which provides vacuum at the capsulotomy tip to properly seat the cutting element to anterior capsule.

Once suction is achieved, enerqy is initiated on the Power Console. A series of electrical pulses lasting a total of 4 milliseconds is delivered to the cutting element causing rapid phase transition of water molecules trapped between the bottom edge of the cutting element and the anterior capsule. The rapid volume expansion results in the capsule cutting action. Suction is then vented to atmosphere. The capsulotomy is nominally 5mm.

A nurse assistant will, upon command from the physician, introduce a small amount of BSS into the suction cup to allow for a gentle release of the suction cup from the capsule, and to allow the free-floating capsule button to stay behind in the anterior chamber for manual removal with forceps. This is done by advancing the fluid displacement syringe

forward. Upon completion of the capsulotomy, the capsulotomy tip is removed from the anterior chamber of the eye through the corneal incision.

The Disposable Handpiece with Fluid Isolator is packaged in a sterile barrier thermoform trav. The contents in the sterile barrier are sterile via Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization.

#### Indications for Use

ZEPTO Precision Capsulotomy System is indicated for use in performing anterior capsulotomy during cataract surgery.

#### Comparison of Technological Characteristics of Predicate and Subject Devices

{6}------------------------------------------------

### Summary of Testing Performed

A program of design verification and validation testing was performed that includes the following:

- Biocompatibility ●
- Sterility and EO Residual
- Packaging Integrity (i.e., Sterile Barrier) ●
- Transportation ●
- Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety
- Stability/Shelf-Life
- Performance/Functionality/Safety ●
- . Software
- Simulated Use (Human Factors Evaluation) ●

Results of the evaluations demonstrate that the Subject Device met the safety and performance requirements as it relates to its indication for use.

#### Conclusions Drawn from Nonclinical Evaluation

The results of the evaluation demonstrate that the Subject Device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Devices as it pertains to the indications for use and device performance.
