Item 8.01Other Events
LENSAR® Inc. (“LENSAR” or the “Company”) is holding its commercial launch meeting the week of June 27, 2022 for its ALLY™ Adaptive Cataract Treatment System (“ALLY” or “ALLY System”), after receiving U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance in June 2022, as previously announced. This meeting is a precursor to commercialization of the ALLY System to cataract surgeons in the United States. The meeting is being attended by the Sales, Marketing, Clinical Applications, Customer Service, Field Service and Technical Support teams. The objective is to inform and collectively prepare these teams for ALLY’s commercial introduction.
The Company expects to place between 8 and 12 systems in a controlled and targeted initial launch, with the first ALLY Systems being placed in the third quarter and continuing throughout the remainder of 2022. ALLY is expected to be made widely available to U.S. cataract surgeons in 2023. The Company’s ability to place systems in 2022 has been limited by supply chain constraints that have delayed the delivery of certain ALLY raw materials and the completion and testing of ALLY Systems for use as launch-stock inventory.
The Company will deliver the ALLY System to U.S. surgeons with the phacoemulsification features disabled. As previously announced, LENSAR received FDA clearance for the femtosecond laser functionality within the ALLY System and plans to seek additional 510(k) clearance for the phacoemulsification features in a subsequent 510(k) filing subject to a third party’s phacoemulsification device receiving clearance and serving as the predicate device. LENSAR was recently informed by the third-party manufacturer of the phacoemulsification technology that it has withdrawn its 510(k) submission for its standalone device and plans to resubmit the application at a later date. As this device will be considered the predicate device for purposes of evaluating ALLY’s phacoemulsification functionality, LENSAR is unable to submit its second 510(k) submission seeking clearance of the phacoemulsification features within ALLY until the predicate device receives FDA clearance.
The shift in the second 510(k) submission timeline will have no effect on the plans for the upcoming U.S. launch of ALLY as the launch was previously planned with the phacoemulsification features disabled. The Company has prioritized filing a CE Mark application in 2022 to commercialize the ALLY System in the European Union.
