Emulsification and aspiration of cataract
Device Story
Phaco Commander System is an ophthalmic surgical device used for cataract removal. It performs emulsification (breaking up the lens) and aspiration (removing lens fragments) during surgery. Operated by ophthalmologists in a surgical setting, the device provides control over irrigation, aspiration, and ultrasonic power delivery to the eye. By automating the emulsification process, it facilitates efficient lens extraction, reducing surgical time and potentially improving patient outcomes. The clinician monitors the procedure and adjusts parameters via the device interface to manage fluidics and ultrasonic energy delivery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided in the submission.
Technological Characteristics
Ophthalmic surgical system for phacoemulsification. Utilizes ultrasonic energy for lens emulsification and a fluidic system for aspiration. System is designed for clinical use in surgical environments.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the emulsification and aspiration of cataracts in patients requiring surgical intervention.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A phacofragmentation system is an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract.

Dear Mr. Mocnik:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
