# V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
A. WaveScan WaveFront® System
The WaveScan WaveFront System is an integral part of this approval. It is a class III accessory device and has a separate user manual. It is a diagnostic instrument indicated for the automated measurement, analysis, and recording of refractive errors of the eye: including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, coma, spherical aberration, trefoil, and other higher order aberrations through sixth order, and for displaying refractive data of the eye to assist in prescribing refractive correction.
The WaveScan WaveFront System measures the refractive error and wavefront aberrations of the human eye using a Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor. The measurements can be used to determine regular (sphero-cylindrical) refractive errors and irregularities (aberrations) that cause decreased or blurry vision in the human eye.
The function of the Hartmann-Shack sensor is to measure the refractive error of the eye by evaluating the deflection of rays emanating from a small beam of light projected onto the retina. To control the natural accommodation of the eye during WaveScan® imaging, the system incorporates a fogged fixation target.
The WaveScan System optical head projects a beam of light onto the retina. The light reflects back through the optical path of the eye and into the wavefront device. The reflected beam is imaged by a lenslet array onto the charge-coupled device (CCD). Each lens of the array gathers light information (deflection information) from a different region of the pupil to form an image of the light that passes through that region of the pupil. An array of spots are imaged on the CCD sensor. The system compares the locations of the array of spots gathered from the CCD to the theoretical ideal (the ideal plane wave).
The WaveScan System software uses these data to compute the eye's refractive errors and wavefront aberrations using Fourier Transform analysis. The system displays the refractive errors and wavefront aberrations as the optical path difference (OPD) between the measured outgoing wavefront and the ideal plane wave. The WaveScan system software subtracts the refractive errors from the wavefront errors map and displays the higher order aberrations as OPD errors. Regions of the pupil with positive OPD are in front of the ideal plane wave and areas with negative OPD are behind the ideal plane wave.
# 1. Data Collection
The eye of the patient is centered in the instruments field of view and the image of the eye is brought in focus. As the patient fixates on the target, the fogging system is engaged to optically adjust the position of the target beyond the far point of the patient. This forces the patient to relax their accommodative system, so that the refraction of the eye is measured accurately. There is no pharmaceutical eye dilation required for the patient.
# 2. Wavefront Measurement
During the data capture, four images are captured from the Hartmann-Shack camera within a short interval of time. The pupil camera of the instrument captures the image of the eye during the same time interval. The spot pattern images are processed to

# SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS DATA
FOR A SUPPLEMENTAL PREMARKET APPROVAL APPLICATION
reconstruct the wavefront and if two or more of them pass the acceptance criteria, the valid measurements are averaged to yield the final measurement for the examination.
# 3. Registration
Internal instrument calibration establishes the coordinate transformation between the pupil imaging camera and the Hartmann-Shack camera, so that the wavefront map can be correctly centered at the center of the pupil during the measurement.
# 4. Treatment Design
The target treatment shape is automatically calculated by the WaveScan instrument from the wavefront data. Once the target shape is established, VSS™ software module generates the commands for the laser to create the target shape on the cornea. Corneal geometry, represented by the keratometry values, is taken into account in computing the laser instructions.
CustomVue™ ablations for mixed astigmatism are approved for an optical zone of 6.0 mm, and an ablation zone of 9.0 mm. No treatments with optical zones greater than 6.0 mm were attempted in the U.S. Clinical Trial. All treatments utilized a variable repetition rate to a maximum of 20 Hz. CustomVue ablations for this PMA are locked out above 5.0 D cylinder as measured by manifest refraction.
The final commercial release versions for CustomVue are WaveScan software version 3.62 together with STAR software version 5.0. The WaveScan software is capable of calculating mixed astigmatism treatments with an optical zone up to 6.5 mm with total ablation zone up to 9.5 mm.
# 5. Data Transfer
The treatment files produced by the WaveScan® instrument contain information about the patient, such as name, ID and refractive data, iris image, and the set of instructions for the VISX STAR laser. They are copied onto a USB flash drive or floppy disk for transfer to the laser. The files are encrypted to prevent data tampering or data corruption.

# B. Microkeratome
The LASIK procedure required the use of a commercially available microkeratome that has been cleared for marketing via premarket notification. Three different microkeratomes were used in this study. Each device consisted of a sterilization/storage tray which includes the shaper head, a left/right eye adapter, suction ring, suction handle, blade handling pin, and corneal reference marker. The instrument motor, tonometer, cleaning brush, disposable blades, power/suction supply unit with vacuum and motor footswitches and power cords are provided as separate components in an accessory stand and equipment suitcase which complete the system.
# C. STAR S4 IR™ Excimer Laser System
The STAR S4 IR laser system is a 193 nm excimer laser system that delivers spatially scanning ultraviolet pulses of variable diameters and slits on to the cornea. The range of diameters and slits available during treatments are 0.65 mm to 6 mm. An auto-centering dual camera infrared eye tracking system (ActiveTrak™), together with the delivery system, aligns the treatment to the eye and compensates for eye movements during laser correction to maximize the corneal reshaping accuracy. An operating microscope is used to observe the patient procedures and to facilitate accurate focus and laser beam alignment. A debris-removal system is designed to evacuate the debris plume that occurs during ablation. The operating chair and fixation LED align the patient, while a video camera and monitor records the patient treatment.
The variable spot scanning (VSS™) feature of the laser, used for CustomVue™ treatments delivers variable diameter ultraviolet pulses to precise locations by the scanning delivery system. The VSS algorithm optimizes the ablation pattern by choosing the best combination of beam diameters and locations to achieve a target shape. VSS expands the laser capability to achieve a broader spectrum of ablation shapes than conventional treatments because the conventional algorithm optimizes only the diameter for myopic treatments and slits for hyperopic treatments.
Conventional STAR treatments utilize sphere, cylinder and axis components which are entered manually into the laser by the operator to generate the ablation treatment. CustomVue™ treatment information is generated on the WaveScan® system and transferred to the STAR S4 IR Excimer Laser System. The transferred information includes patient information, eye and refraction information, image of the eye, eye alignment information, and ablation instructions to the laser for beam diameters and the exact locations of the beam on the cornea. The VISX Treatment card defines the number and the types of treatments available.
Wavefront-guided treatments using the STAR S4 IR™ and WaveScan Systems utilize an automated iris identification and registration system. The angle of rotation of the patient's eye under the laser is determined by comparing features of the iris on the WaveScan image to the same features located in the image of the iris taken using the STAR S4 IR camera. The treatment is rotated to align precisely with the rotation of the patient's eye under the laser.
The STAR S4 IR laser software also contains a refinement to the method of STAR laser beam energy control by inclusion of an ozone compensation system.

- Pachymetric measurement minus the maximal depth ablated (as described by the VISX software) added to the flap thickness is greater than or equal to 250 microns (i.e., Pachymetry — [Depth of ablation + Flap thickness] ≥ 250 microns).
- Eyes that demonstrated refractive stability confirmed by a change of less than or equal to 1.0 diopter (sphere and cylinder) at an exam at least 12 months prior to the baseline examination. The astigmatic axis must also be within 15 degrees for eyes with cylinder greater than 0.50 D.
- Contact lens wearers who removed soft lenses at least 1 week prior and rigid (Gas permeable and PMMA) lenses at least 2 weeks prior to baseline measurements. At that baseline examination, cycloplegic and manifest refractions as well as corneal topography were obtained. If the investigator determined that the topography was within normal limits, surgery was scheduled at least one week after the initial exam, with no contact lens wear permitted prior to the surgery. If on the day of scheduled surgery, for the operative eye, repeat central keratometry readings and manifest refraction spherical equivalents did not differ significantly from the initial exam measurements (by more than 0.50 diopter), surgery proceeded. If the refractive change exceeded this criterion, the surgery was rescheduled after refractive stability was achieved.
- Planned treatment such that the anticipated post-operative keratometry value in any meridian will be ≤ 50 D. Anticipated post-operative keratometry values will be calculated by: a) adding the total amount of pre-operative manifest sphere and cylinder to the power of the keratometry value in the flat meridian (i.e., sphere (D) + cylinder (D) + Flat K), and b) adding the total amount of pre-operative manifest sphere to the power of the keratometry value in the steep meridian, (i.e., sphere (D) + Steep K).
- Subjects willing and capable of returning for follow-up examinations for the duration of the study.
Patients were not permitted to enroll in the study if they met any of the following exclusion criteria:
- Female subjects who were pregnant, breast-feeding or intended to become pregnant over the course of the study.
- Subjects whose fellow eye did not meet all inclusion criteria or fall within approved indications for treatment using the VISX STAR Excimer Laser.
- Subjects who used concurrent topical or systemic medications which might have impaired healing, including but not limited to: antimetabolites, isotretinoin (Accutane®) within 6 months of treatment, and amiodarone hydrochloride (Cordarone®) within 12 months of treatment.
NOTE: The use of topical or systemic corticosteroids, whether chronic or acute, was deemed to adversely affect healing and subjects using such medication were specifically excluded from eligibility.
- Subjects who had a history of any of the following medical conditions, or any other condition that could have affected wound healing: collagen vascular disease, autoimmune disease, immunodeficiency diseases, ocular herpes zoster or simplex,

E. Study Period, Investigational Sites, and Demographics
1. Study Period and Investigational Sites
Forty-four (44) subjects were treated between May 13, 2003 and November 11, 2003.
The database for this PMA supplement reflected data collected through November 10,
2004 and included 86 eyes. There were 6 investigational sites that provided eligible data
for analysis.
2. Demographics
Of the 86 treated eyes, 66% (57/86) were from male subjects and 34% (29/86) were from
female subjects. Furthermore, 69% (59/86) were from Caucasians, 1% (1/86) were from
African Americans, 2% (2/86) were from Asian/Pacific Islanders, and 28% (24/86) were
of other races. The left eye was treated in 51% (44/86) of the cases and the right eye was
treated in 49% (42/86) of the cases. The mean age of the subjects treated was 41 years
with a range from 23 to 66.

*Refractions were measured at 8 feet; results shown are adjusted for optical infinity.
All refractions were measured at 8 feet and adjusted to optical infinity (by subtracting 0.41 D from the spherical component of the refraction) for data analysis and presentation. After the refractions were adjusted, 15 of the 86 eyes were no longer classified as having mixed astigmatism because their sphere power shifted from hyperopic to myopic. Fourteen of these 15 eyes received a mixed astigmatism wavefront treatment pattern. One eye received a wavefront treatment pattern that was marginally classified as myopic astigmatism.

# c. Effectiveness Outcomes
Eight-six (86) eyes of forty-four (44) subjects were enrolled and treated in this study
Six (6) eyes underwent retreatment in this study (2 eyes after the 3-month visit and 4
eyes after the 6-month visit). All data for retreated eyes from exams completed prior
to retreatment are included in all analyses.
Vector Analyses were conducted at the point of defined stability, 3-months.
# 1. Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA)
All eyes were targeted to emmetropia. Visual acuity was measured at an 8-foot
testing distance. The uncorrected visual acuity results presented in Table 5 exceed
90% 20/40 or better at all postoperative time points.

d. Higher Order Aberrations
Although the WaveScan WaveFront® System measures the refractive error and wavefront aberrations of the human eyes, including myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, coma, spherical aberration, trefoil, and other higher order aberrations through sixth order, in the clinical study for this PMA, the average higher order aberration did not decrease after CustomVue™ treatment.
e. Safety Outcomes¹
Adverse Events are summarized in Table 8. Overall, the device was deemed reasonably safe. The benchmark for each adverse event is a rate of less than 1 % per type of event. In addition to the 3 adverse events listed in the table below, one subject experienced an allergic reaction to a non-study systemic medication that required hospitalization 9 months post-operatively.
¹ Adverse Events and Complications outlined in the October 10, 1996 FDA Guidance Document for Refractive Surgery Lasers are included in Tables 8 and 9. Adverse Events are serious (sight or life-threatening) and unanticipated events; complications are anticipated, transient, and non-sight threatening sequelae to the surgery.

# f. Retreatment
Six eyes (6/86, 7.0%) underwent retreatment in this study.
# g. Factors Associated with Outcomes
To evaluate the consistency of results and effect of treatment by study site and baseline characteristics, results at 3 months post-operatively were analyzed. The key safety and effectiveness variables were compared to target percentages to determine if the results were significantly different.
No eye had a BSCVA loss of > 2 lines and no eye had a BSCVA worse than 20/40, so there were no detectable differences between study sites and baseline characteristics relative to safety outcomes.
For each effectiveness criterion, comparisons between the actual and target outcomes (MRSE ± 0.50, MRSE ± 1.00, UCVA 20/40 or better) were made using a chi-square goodness-of-fit test. A Mantel-Haenszel one degree of freedom chi-square test was used to compare the observed percentages across categories. Those p-values are used to identify situations where there are differences between categories.
Specifically, the analyses of effect included: sex (female and male), race (white and other), investigational site (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 9), age group (<30, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, and ≥ 50), pre-operative contact lens use (None and Soft), pre-operative MRSE (< 2, 2 to <3, 3 to < 4, 4 to <5, and ≥ 5), laser room temperature (< 70°, 70°, 71°, 72° to

73°, 74°, and ≥ 75°), laser room humidity (< 30%, 30% to 35%, 36% to 40%, 41% to 45%, and > 45%), and surgeon.
In these analyses, statistically significant differences in outcomes were identified by comparing actual outcomes with FDA target values (MRSE ± 0.50 / 50%, MRSE ± 1.00 / 75%, UCVA 20/40 or better / 85%).
Throughout these analyses, there were six cases where the observed value did not meet the target value. For the outcome measure MRSE ± 0.50 D (target=50%), treatments in the pre-study MRSE group of >1.00 to 2.13 D had an observed value of 25%, and 25% was observed for surgeon Culbertson. For UCVA 20/40 or better (target = 85%), treatments in the age group of 40-49 had an observed value of 83%, treatments at site #9 and treatments by surgeon Maloney had an observed value of 83%, treatments conducted in a laser suite with a temperature of 71 degrees had an observed value of 75%.
Only one of these six values (25% for MRSE ± 0.5 D for pre-study MRSE >1.0 to 2.0) had a statistically significant difference from the target value. This group consisted of only 4 eyes.
All other subcategories met or exceeded the target value. Indeed, in many of these subcategories, the observed value was statistically significantly superior (p < 0.05) to the target value.
In addition to these analyses, outcomes were compared among the same categories (sex, race, site, age, pre-operative contact lens use, pre-operative MRSE, temperature, humidity and surgeon) for other effectiveness criteria (UCVA 20/20, Sphere ± 0.5 D, Sphere ± 1.0 D, Cylinder ± 0.5 D, Cylinder ± 1.0 D), with no pre-determined target values. Two cases of significant differences in outcomes were identified. A sex difference in percent of patients with UCVA 20/20 or better was significant (41% females, 72% males; p= 0.0062), as was the difference in percent with Cylinder ± 0.5 D (38% females, 70% males; p=0.0042).
# h. Patient Satisfaction
Patients were asked to complete a questionnaire for each eye to evaluate vision pre-operatively and post-operatively. Upon completion of the questionnaire, both the patient and the investigator reviewed the form. To be included in the analysis, a pre-operative questionnaire had to have been completed. Patient questionnaire responses are presented pre-operatively and at 3 and 6 months post-operatively. Tables 12 and 13 presents a summary of patient satisfaction and patient symptoms.
