Development Corp. | 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 iFS Laser System intended use is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser designed for use as an ophthalmic surgical laser. It is indicated for use as follows: - . In the creation of a corneal flap in patients undergoing LASIK surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea 14 {1}------------------------------------------------ - . In patients undergoing surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea - . In patients undergoing surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea to create tunnels for placement of corneal ring seaments - . In lamellar keratoplasty and corneal harvesting - In the creation of a lamellar cut/resection of the cornea for lamellar keratoplasty . and in the creation of a penetrating cut/incision for penetrating keratoplasty - In patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery or other treatment requiring arcuate . cuts/incisions, both penetrating and intrastromal The iFS Laser System uses focused femtosecond laser pulses to create incisions and separates tissues in the cornea. Corneal dissection with the iFS Laser is achieved through precise individual micro-photodisruptions of tissue, which are controlled by repeatedly repositioning the laser focus. The light pulse 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. The surgical effect is produced by scanning thousands of individual pulses per second to produce continuous incisions or tissue separation. These laser pulses are delivered through a disposable applanation lens that contacts the cornea while fixating the eye under low vacuum. STATEMENT OF HOW THE TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DEVICE COMPARE TO THOSE OF THE PREDICATE OR LEGALLY MARKETED DEVICE: The technological characteristics of the iFS Laser System are substantially equivalent to those cleared under K101626 and K073404 for corneal resections and incisions. No new software and/or hardware were required for the additional indication for arcuate incisions for the iFS Laser System. ## BRIEF SUMMARY OF NONCLINICAL TESTS AND RESULTS: The iFS Laser System has undergone testing and is in compliance with applicable safety standards. The iFS Laser System was able to create arcuate incisions, both penetrating and intrastromal, safely and effectively. Thus, the iFS Laser System and the predicate devices have similar safety, effectiveness and performance profiles. ## APPLICABLE STANDARDS (LASER AND PATIENT INTERFACE): - IEC 60601-1 Medical Electrical Equipment General Requirements for Safety, . 2nd edition, Amendment 2 - IEC 60601-1-2 Medical Electrical Equipment -- Electromagnetic Compatibility, . 200 Edition, Amendment 1 - · IEC 60601-2-22 Medical Electrical Equipment Safety of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Laser Equipment, 2nd Edition, Amendment 2 {2}------------------------------------------------ - · ISO 10993-10:2002 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Delayed Type Hypersensitivity - · ISO 10993-5:2009 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 5 Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity - AAMI 11137-1:2006/(R) 2010 Sterilization of Health Care Products Radiation - Part 1: Requirements for Development - · AAMI 11137-2:2006/(R) 2010 Sterilization of Health Care Products Radiation - Part 2: Establishing the Sterilization Dose ## Pattern Fidelity Testing: Data were collected from the iFS Laser System to measure depth pattern fidelity for arcuate incisions at the 95% confidence interval. All results met the 95% confidence acceptance criteria. Data were additionally collected from the iFS Laser System to measure pattern fidelity for position, angle and diameter for arcuate incisions at the 95% confidence interval. All results met the 95% confidence acceptance criteria. ## HUMAN CADAVER EYE TESTING: An AMO directed study was executed to determine the effectiveness of laser parameters in the creation of arcuate incisions in the human cadaver eye model. The iFS Laser System was used to cut intrastromal and penetrating arcuate incisions in the human cornea. For comparison, a standard radial keratotomy diamond blade was used to create penetrating incisions. Results of the study indicate that the iFS Laser System can create single or paired arcuate incisions. With appropriate depth in glass settings, the intrastromal incision can be created without risking perforation of either corneal surface. #### Animal Testing: AMO conducted a series of studies in rabbits to evaluate the safety of penetrating and intrastromal incisions. The first studies assessed the initial safety of the intrastromal arcuate incisions. Subsequent studies, including a GLP rabbit study, were performed to demonstrate safety of penetrating and intrastromal arcuate incisions when performed by the iFS Laser System. The GLP study conclusively demonstrates the safety of arcuate incisions in the cornea, both penetrating and intrastromal, when performed by the iFS Laser System. #### Clinical Trial Results: A clinical trial assessed the iFS Laser System for demonstration of safety of the intrastromal arcuate incisions in the cornea. A total of 21 subjects were enrolled at one investigative site in a non-randomized, two-arm study design based on cataract status. No eyes in this study with a BSCVA of 20/20 or better at baseline had a post-operative BSCVA of worse than 20/40. No eyes in this study had induced manifest refractive astigmatism of greater than 2.00 diopters. No eyes experienced an adverse event. {3}------------------------------------------------ Endothelial cell counts (central and two peripheral endothelium locations) were compared between the study and non-study fellow eyes. No statistically significant differences were observed. Ophthalmic symptoms such as glare, halos, clarity, dry eve, photophobia, gritty/scratchy/sandy feelings in eye and vision quality were assessed by each subject for both the study and non-study fellow eyes at baseline and post-operative visits. The changes in symptoms were evaluated and there were no statistically significant worsening symptoms or quality of vision. The primary safety criterion of rate of adverse events was met, as well as other secondary variables of safety and surgical experience. The results of this study indicated that the iFS Laser System can safely perform intrastromal arcuate incisions in the cornea. ## Conclusion: The laboratory and animal study data support that the arcuate incisions can be executed by the iFS Laser System as prescribed by the physician. These data demonstrate the iFS Laser System is safe and effective when used in conjunction with the directions for use and inherent warnings. . . {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
