No
The description focuses on the mechanical and ultrasonic action of the phaco tip and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
Yes
The device directly performs phacofragmentation of the cataractous lens, which is a therapeutic intervention to remove cataracts.
No
The device, a phaco tip, is used for the automated phacoemulsification of a natural crystalline lens, which involves the physical breakdown and removal of the lens. It assists in a surgical procedure, not in diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the submission is for a "phaco tip," which is a physical component of a phacoemulsification system and undergoes bench testing and process validation for cleaning, sterilization, and packaging. This indicates a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to "assist in the automated phacoemulsification of a natural crystalline lens." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device (phaco tip) used for fragmenting and removing the lens during surgery. It does not describe a device used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely mechanical and surgical.

Device Description
The phaco tip is a component of the phacoemulsification system. The tip is attached to an ultrasonic transducer. When properly stimulated, the transducer lengthens and shortens, causing the tip to oscillate at a specific frequency usually between 27 to 64 kHz. Phacofragmentation of the cataractous lens is accomplished by the action of the phaco tip, a hollow needle located centrally in the device handpiece. When the device is used in the phacofragmentation mode both irrigation and aspiration occur simultaneously. The irrigating solution enters the eye via a collinear axial lumen, which encircles the phaco tip. The fragmentation process is the result of combined mechanical and ultrasonic action induced by the oscillating phaco tip. The cataractous lens and its fragments are disrupted by the phaco tip during the procedure and removed due to the pump suction at the phaco tip orifice. This submission is for the phaco tip only.
The phaco needle is the cylindrical, metal tip which is connected to the distal end of a phaco handpiece.

Re: K012579 - Supplemental Validation Submission Trade/Device Name: See Enclosed List Regulation Number: 21 CFR 886.4670 Regulation Name: Phacofragmentation system Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: NKX Dated: October 15, 2001 Received: October 22, 2001
Dear Dr. Lester:
The above-referenced premarket notification (510(k)) was cleared by the Office of Device Evaluation (ODE) on November 8, 2001. We have received your supplemental validation data as required for reprocessed single-use devices by the Medical Device User Fee and Modernization Act of 2002. After reviewing your supplemental validation data, we have determined the devices listed in the enclosure accompanying this letter are 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 these devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA) they 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your devices in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your devices comply with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's applicable requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your devices to legally marketed predicate devices results in classification for your devices and thus, permits you to legally market the devices. This letter will allow you to continue marketing the devices listed in the enclosure accompanying this letter.
If you desire specific advice for your devices on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
