## Intended Use

The IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome is indicated for use in patients undergoing surgery or other treatment requiring initial lamellar resection of the cornea.

## Device Story

IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser; performs anterior lamellar corneal resections. Device cuts corneal disc of preselected thickness and diameter. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Operates similarly to laser-based predicate (ISL QC2000) while achieving clinical outcomes equivalent to mechanical microkeratome predicates (Hansatome). Provides controlled, precise corneal tissue removal; facilitates subsequent ophthalmic surgical procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

Extensive ex vivo and in vivo studies were conducted to compare the IntraLase 600C to the Hansatome Microkeratome. Results demonstrated equivalent performance in the creation of corneal resections.

## Technological Characteristics

Ophthalmic surgical laser; precision corneal resection system. Design and materials are similar to the ISL QC2000 laser. System is designed to meet applicable safety standards for laser surgical devices.

## 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

- Hansatome Microkeratome ([K972808](/device/K972808.md))
- ISL QC2000 ([K892058](/device/K892058.md))

### A description of the device that is the subject of the 510(k), including explanation of 4. how the device functions, basic scientific concepts, significant physical and performance characteristics (design, material, physical properties):

The IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome is a precision ophthalmic surgical laser designed for cutting a precise corneal disc of preselected thickness and diameter. The device is intended for use in performing anterior lamellar corneal resections. The materials, basic scientific concepts and physical properties of the IntraLase 600C are similar to those of the ISL OC2000, while the indication for use and the intended use are identical to those of the Hansatome microkeratome.

#### 5. Statement of intended use:

The IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome is indicated for use in patients undergoing 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 IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome has technological characteristics very similar to those of the Intelligent Surgical Lasers QC2000, the laser predicate device. The design, materials, and characteristics of the IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome are similar to those of the Intelligent Surgical Lasers QC2000.

### 7. Brief summary of nonclinical tests and results:

The IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome has been designed and will be tested to applicable safety standards. In addition, the IntraLase 600C was found to perform equivalently to the predicate device, the Hansatome Microkeratome, with respect to the creation of corneal resections in extensive ex vivo and in vivo studies. Thus, the technological changes in the IntraLase 600C Laser Keratome do not raise any new issues of safety, effectiveness or performance of the product.

Dear Dr. Gordon:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
