Indications for Use
The GLOW800 is a surgical microscope accessory used in viewing fluorescence of fluorophores with an excitation peak between ~750 nm and ~800 nm and the fluorescence emission in a spectral band above ~800 nm.
Device Story
GLOW800 is a non-contact, non-invasive surgical microscope accessory; integrates with Leica surgical operating microscopes. Device uses standard microscope illumination to produce excitation light (750-800 nm) to induce fluorescence from Indocyanine green (ICG) dye in patient blood vessels. System captures NIR fluorescence and visible light (VL) video streams; digitally combines streams to present high-definition, pseudocolored overlay of surgical site on microscope screen. Operated by surgeons/OR staff in clinical settings. Output provides real-time visualization of blood flow and vessel architecture; aids intra-operative decision-making by confirming perfusion and anatomical detail. Benefits include improved visualization of vascular structures during neurosurgical, reconstructive, and bypass procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No human clinical trials. Evidence includes bench testing and a comparative porcine study (n=8). Porcine study compared GLOW800 to FL800 ULT using ICG dye in cerebral vascular models; 18 comparative reviews confirmed 100% functional equivalence in visualizing blood flow and vessel architecture. Bench testing verified spectral transmission, mechanical integration, and software robustness. Human factors study (n=21 surgeons, n=15 nurses/techs) confirmed usability equivalent to predicate.
Technological Characteristics
Accessory to surgical microscope; anodized aluminum construction. Sensing: NIR camera and visible light camera. Illumination: standard microscope light source with 750-800 nm excitation filter. Connectivity: integrated into Leica M530 OH6 microscope platform. Software: GLOW800 V 1.1. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6.
Indications for Use
Indicated for viewing intra-operative blood flow and related tissue perfusion in the cerebral vascular region, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Dear Georges Hakim:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

### Device Description
Similar to the predicate device (Leica FL800 most recently cleared under K141136 and previously in K061871 and K080612), the GLOW800 is an accessory to the Leica Microsystems (LMS) Class I 510(k) exempt surgical operating microscope (SOM).
The GLOW800, a non-contact, non-invasive device similar to its predicate, allows the surgical microscope to produce excitation light and resolve fluorescent emission from the fluorescent agent Indocyanine green (ICG). The generated fluorescence signal depicts the distribution of the infra-red dye in the patient's blood vessels during the surgical procedure (fluorescence video angiography). The ICG fluorescence peak is captured for display on the SOM screen. Using an additional camera to capture the visible light (VL) video stream and digitally combining with the Near Infra-red (NIR) video stream presents a high definition display of the surgical site as a pseudocoloured combined image of the same field of view (FOV), which includes anatomical information.
The GLOW800 utilizes the illumination light source, supplied as standard with the SOM to produce excitation light which is filtered using an illumination filter (also referred to as the excitation filter) within the 750 and 800 spectral wavelength range.
