• Device Name: VISULAS 532S
• Applicant: Carl Zeiss, Inc.
• Product Code: GEX · General, Plastic Surgery
• Decision Date: Nov 14, 2001
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Special
• Regulation: 21 CFR 878.4810
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The VISULAS 532s laser is intended for use in photocoagulating ocular tissues in the treatment of diseases of the eye. The laser energy is delivered via either transpupillary, delivery or intraocular endoprobe delivery.

Device Story

VISULAS 532s is an ophthalmic surgical laser system used for photocoagulating ocular tissues. It functions as an improved version of the predicate Zeiss-Diode Pumped Solid State Laser. The device delivers laser energy through either transpupillary delivery or intraocular endoprobe delivery. Modifications include the integration of the VISULINK 532/U slit lamp adapter and the Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope (LIO 532) as application systems, alongside an improved laser console and user interface for setting and monitoring treatment procedures. The device is operated by a surgeon in a clinical setting. The system allows for state-of-the-art laser treatment procedures, with the user interface facilitating precise control and monitoring of laser parameters during surgery.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design comparisons and similarity to previously cleared delivery systems and the predicate laser console.

Technological Characteristics

Diode-pumped solid-state laser system. Includes laser console, user interface, and delivery accessories (VISULINK 532/U slit lamp adapter, LIO 532 indirect ophthalmoscope).

Indications for Use

Indicated for photocoagulation of ocular tissues in patients with eye diseases. Delivery via transpupillary or intraocular endoprobe.

Regulatory Classification

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.

#### Intended Use

The Zeiss-Diode Pumped Solid State Laser (DPSSL) as well as now the modified device renamed as VISULAS 532s is intended for use in photocoagulating ocular tissues in the treatment of diseases of the eye.

The laser energy is delivered via either transpupillary delivery or intraocular ENDO probe delivery.

{1}------------------------------------------------

#### Device Modification

The VISULAS 532s laser represents an improved version of the predicate Zeiss-Diode Pumped Solid State Laser (K925642).

JOP .

The improvement includes the following 2 modifications, which are detailed introduced in the Special 510(k) - Device Modification description:

- · In addition to the known laser slit lamp, the slit lamp adapter VISULINK 532/U or the Laser Indirect Ophthalmoscope LIO 532 may be used now as a laser application system.
- · Laser console and user interface were improved to allow operation, setting, and monitoring of the different laser treatment procedures.

#### Conclusion

The introduced side by side comparisons of the VISULAS 532s laser system versus the predicate Zeiss-Diode Pumped Solid State Laser as approved with the notification K925642 indicate that both devices are virtually identical with exception of minor variations which are detailed introduced.

Also the additional applied delivery systems VISULINK 532/U and the LIO 532 are very similar to the already used previously cleared devices/accessories. In addition the delivery systems do not refer to any other claims compared with the approved indications for use.

Thus the described device modification do not raise any new questions for safety and efficacy and in the summary of the reviewed similarities and differences between the compared devices/accessories has to be concluded that the VISULAS 532s may be applied by the surgeon after the modification in a more state of the art way.

Finally the renaming of the Zeiss-Diode Pumped Solid State Laser to VISULAS 532s does not affect any question for safety and efficacy. The new name is caused by the marketing strategy of the Carl Zeiss Jena GmbH, Ophthalmic Instruments Division to use a concerted recognizable device name which distinguishes the laser treatment devices by the applied laser wavelength.
