Device Story
HyperVit Vitrectomy Probe is a sterile, single-use, pneumatically actuated accessory for the Constellation Vision System. It features a modified cutter tip with two ports, enabling two cuts per operating cycle. Input consists of pneumatic pulses from the console; output is mechanical guillotine-style cutting and aspiration of vitreous and ocular tissue. Operated by surgeons in an OR setting during vitreoretinal or cataract procedures. The device interfaces with the console via RFID tags. The dual-port design allows for 20,000 cuts per minute at 10,000 cycles per minute, improving cutting efficiency compared to single-port predecessors. The healthcare provider uses the probe to perform precise tissue removal, facilitating surgical access and reducing potential for retinal traction or damage. Benefits include enhanced cutting performance and tissue dissection capabilities.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluations included cut quality verification, aspiration flow characterization, heat generation testing (max temperature increase 0.8°C at 150% max speed), and metal particulate analysis (no particulates detected after 20 minutes of continuous operation).
Technological Characteristics
Single-use, pneumatically actuated vitrectomy probe. Materials: stainless steel. Dimensions: 23, 25, and 27 gauge. Connectivity: RFID-enabled interface with Constellation Vision System. Sterilization: EtO. Features dual-port cutter tip design for guillotine-style cutting. Operating speed: 10,000 cycles/min (20,000 cuts/min).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing vitreoretinal or cataract surgery requiring vitreous removal, tissue dissection, membrane cutting/aspiration, or lens removal.
Regulatory Classification

#### Device Description IV.
The HyperVit" Vitrectomy Probe is an accessory to the Constellation® Vision System (K141065, K101285 and K063583). The HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe is a sterile, single-use pneumatically actuated device which supports aspiration and guillotine style cutting functions for the purpose of vitreous cutting and aspiration, as well as tissue dissection, in the eye during vitreoretinal or cataract surgery. The HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe is comprised of a pre-assembled hand piece and tubing. The tubing assembly interfaces with a Constellation® Vision System console by means of RFID tags at the proximal end of the probe. The HyperVit" Vitrectomy Probe is offered in three different sizes: 23, 25 and 27 gauge.
The HyperVit" Vitrectomy Probe is a modification of the existing UltraVit® Vitrectomy Probes currently used with the Constellation® Vision System. A port opening has been added to the cutter tip to create a second cutting edge. Thus, two cuts are made during a single operating cycle, compared to one cut for the existing UltraVit® Vitrectomy Probes. With an operating actuation speed of 10,000 cycles per minutes, the HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe can achieve 20,000 cuts per minute.

#### VII. Performance Data
Testing and validations have demonstrated that the functional requirements and specifications have been met. Therefore, the HyperVit" Vitrectomy Probe is as safe and effective as the predicate device. An overview of key performance tests conducted is provided below:
## Mechanical Testing
- . Cut Quality: Testing was conducted on the vitreous cutting surfaces in order to verify that the forward and return cutting surfaces met the same acceptance criteria for cut quality and cut reliability as the predicate device. Results show that the probe met the acceptance criteria and, therefore, have the same cut quality as the predicate device.
- Aspiration Flow: The aspiration flow characteristics of the HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe . at the default vacuum settings were characterized and compared with the predicate device. The flow characteristics of the HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe at the default vacuum setting were similar to those of the predicate device as a result of the identical dimensions of the fluid path (e.g., cutter and aspiration tubing). Therefore, the aspiration flow is equivalent to the predicate device.
- Heat Generation: Testing was conducted to measure the temperature increase at the . vitreous cutter tip operated at 150% of HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe maximum speed. Testing showed that the maximum temperature increase was 0.8℃ throughout 30 minutes of operation; this is less than the maximum allowed temperature increase at the probe tip of no more than 10°C, based on literature review (Ref: Wu et al., Photochemical damage of the retina. Survey of Ophthalmology, 51(5), 461–481, 2006).
- Metal Particulates: Testing was performed to evaluate whether metal particulates were . generated by the HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe during operation. The probe was actuated at the maximum 10.000 cycles per minute in a water container. After running the test continuously for 20 minutes, the filter in the container was microscopy-examined for metal particulate and no particulates were detected, thus meeting the acceptance criteria.
#### Safety and Effectiveness Information VIII.
A review of the indications for use and technical characteristics demonstrates that the HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and is safe and effective for use for the stated indications for use.
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### Conclusion IX.
The HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe was found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The HyperVit™ Vitrectomy Probe shares identical indications for use, similar design features and functional features with the predicate device, and thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
