Intended Use
The Aero Z Cartridge IOL Delivery System is indicated to fold and insert Aaren Scientific IOLs that have the use of this inserter in their approved labeling.
Device Story
Aero Z Cartridge IOL Delivery System is a two-part surgical instrument for ophthalmic use. It consists of a reusable titanium alloy handpiece (push-style or push-and-turn screw-style) and a single-use, sterile polypropylene cartridge containing a glyceryl monostearate (GMS) lubricity agent. The device is operated by a surgeon in a clinical setting to fold and inject intraocular lenses (IOLs) into the posterior chamber of the eye. The surgeon loads the IOL into the cartridge, which is then inserted into the handpiece; the plunger mechanism advances the lens through the nozzle into the eye. This system facilitates minimally invasive lens delivery, reducing surgical trauma and improving patient outcomes during cataract or refractive lens exchange procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing conducted per ISO 10993-1:2009 confirmed the device is non-cytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and non-irritating. Testing per ISO 11979-3 demonstrated that the delivery system does not significantly impact the optical or mechanical performance, dimensions, or cosmetic appearance of Aaren Scientific IOL Models EC-3 and EC-3 PAL.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable titanium alloy handpiece; single-use polypropylene cartridge with glyceryl monostearate (GMS) lubricity agent. Mechanism: syringe-like push or push-and-turn screw-style plunger. Sterilization: handpiece via flash autoclave/steam; cartridge via Ethylene Oxide (EtO).
Indications for Use
Indicated for folding and insertion of Aaren Scientific intraocular lenses (IOLs) into the posterior chamber of the eye, specifically models EC-3 and EC-3 PAL, for patients requiring IOL implantation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intraocular lens guide is a device intended to be inserted into the eye during surgery to direct the insertion of an intraocular lens and be removed after insertion is completed.
