Device uses tightly focused ultrashort pulses to create precise individual microphotodisruptions of tissue. System includes a disposable applanation lens and utilizes low vacuum for eye fixation during the procedure. Operated by ophthalmic surgeons in a clinical setting. Output is a corneal flap created via laser photodisruption. Benefits include precision in corneal tissue resection for refractive surgery. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing and nonclinical studies (ex vivo and in vivo) were conducted. The device demonstrated performance equivalent to the predicate laser in the creation of corneal resections. No clinical trial data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Ophthalmic surgical laser; utilizes ultrashort pulse laser technology for tissue photodisruption; includes disposable applanation lens; low vacuum eye fixation system. Complies with applicable safety standards. ## Regulatory Identification (1) A carbon dioxide laser for use in general surgery and in dermatology is a laser device intended to cut, destroy, or remove tissue by light energy emitted by carbon dioxide.(2) An argon laser for use in dermatology is a laser device intended to destroy or coagulate tissue by light energy emitted by argon. ## Predicate Devices - Pulsion FS Laser ([K013941](/device/K013941.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

A DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE 510(K), INCLUDING EXPLANATION OF HOW THE DEVICE FUNCTIONS, BASIC SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTS, SIGNIFICANT PHYSICAL AND PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS (DESIGN, MATERIAL, PHYSICAL PROPERTIES): The INTRALASE FS Laser is a precision ophthalmic surqical laser designed for use in performing lamellar corneal resections. The cutting action of the {1}------------------------------------------------ 2/2 # Section 11 # SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS INTRALASE FS Laser is achieved through precise individual microphotodisruptions of tissue, created by tightly focused ultrashort pulses which are delivered through a disposable applanation lens while fixating the eye under very low vacuum. #### 5. STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE: The INTRALASE FS is an ophthalmic surgical laser indicated for use in the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea. ### 6. STATEMENT OF HOW THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE COMPARE TO THOSE OF THE PREDICATE OR LEGALLY MARKETED DEVICE. The technological characteristics of the INTRALASE FS Laser have already been cleared under K013941 for lamellar corneal resections. The slight changes made to the technological characteristics of the Laser do not alter the performance or indication of this device. #### 7. BRIEF SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTS AND RESULTS: The INTRALASE FS Laser has undergone testing and is in compliance with applicable safety standards. In addition, the INTRALASE FS was found to perform equivalently to the predicate Laser, with respect to the creation of corneal resections in extensive ex vivo and in vivo studies. Thus, the INTRALASE FS Laser and the predicate device have similar safety, effectiveness or performance profiles. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
