Intended Use
The Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tips are used to break up (emulsify) the nucleus of a cataractous lens and remove the remaining nuclear fragments. The Irrigation Sleeve is a device intended to direct irrigation solution across the shaft of a phacoemulsification tip, allowing the solution to enter the eye during ocular surgery. The Phacoemulsification tip is intended for use in conjunction with the Irrigation Sleeve during ocular surgery.
Device Description
Phacoemulsification (Phaco) is a technique used during cataract surgery to emulsify and extract a cataractous lens from the eye with an ultrasonic handpiece. The ultrasonic handpiece is connected to, and powered by a phacoemulsification system, which is identified in 21 CFR 886.4670 as "an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract." The fragmentation needle, also referred to as a phaco tip, vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency and emulsifies the cataract when connected to an ultrasonic phacoemulsification handpiece. The fragmented tissue can then be aspirated and removed through the lumen of the tip. During a surgical procedure, irrigation solution, typically Balanced Salt Solution (BSS), is used to irrigate the eye and this is passed with the help of an Irrigation Sleeve. The Irrigation Sleeve directs the irrigation solution across the shaft of the phacoemulsification tip, allowing it to enter the eye during ocular surgery. This small molded component is placed over the Phacoemulsification tip. The proposed tips and irrigation sleeves are made of fitanium and medical grade silicone respectively. The subject of this 510(k) premarket notification is the Reusable Phacoemulsification Tips (Phaco Tips) & Irrigation Sleeves (Phaco Sleeves), which will be additions to the family of Disposable Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tips & Sleeves. The Phaco tips that are the subject of this 510(k) premarket notification have two different designs, straight and curved tip. The same two designs were the subject of the predicate device and have been cleared by the FDA under K111882 (AMO Laminar Flow Phaco Tips). These tips were cleared by the FDA for single use only and now AMO intends to introduce the reusable version of the same models into the market to offer a broad range of products to our customers. These tips will be compatible with all our currently marketed AMO ultrasonic handpieces, and will be made of the same surgical grade titanium as the predicate device. Moreover, these 21G tips will also be compatible with our 21G Irrigation Sleeves (Phaco Sleeve), which is the other subject device of this 510(k) premarket notification. The 21G Irrigation Sleeve will have a slightly different design as compared to the predicate device, which has been cleared under K103023 (AMO Irrigation Sleeve). The reduced gauge size (21G) is designed for use with the 21G Phaco tips. The proposed Light Blue and Orange sleeve will be made of the same medical grade silicone material as the predicate device (Yellow Sleeve), with a difference in the colorant to distinguish between the various AMO sleeve offerings in the market.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components (tips and sleeves) and their material properties, functionality, and equivalence to predicate devices. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
Explanation: The device is used to break up and remove cataractous lenses, which is a therapeutic intervention to treat cataracts.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tip" and "Irrigation Sleeve" used during cataract surgery to break up and remove a cataractous lens. Its function is to perform a surgical procedure (emulsification and extraction), not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical component (phacoemulsification tips and irrigation sleeves) made of titanium and silicone, intended for use in conjunction with an ultrasonic handpiece and phacoemulsification system. It is not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the devices are used during ocular surgery to break up and remove a cataractous lens and direct irrigation solution into the eye. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a living patient.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces that these are surgical tools used in conjunction with a phacoemulsification system during cataract surgery.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These devices do not perform any such testing on samples.

Therefore, the Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tips and Irrigation Sleeves are surgical devices used in vivo (within the body) during a medical procedure, not in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.

Table 3-2: Comparison Overview of the Phaco Tips to the Predicate Devices

As the subject 21G Phaco Tips are intended to be packaged with the 21G Irrigation Sleeve, which is also the subject of this premarket notification; Table 3-3 referenced below compares the features of the proposed Irrigation sleeve with its respective predicate device, AMO Irrigation Sleeve, cleared by the FDA under K103023.

The Irrigation sleeve, subject of this premarket notification, is similar in comparison to the cleared Irrigation sleeve except for the reusability. The different gauge size (21G) compared to the predicate sleeve is mainly for achieving a smaller incision size during surgery. The smaller incision size thus enables the surgeons to use this device for Micro-implantation cataract surgeries. Additionally, the difference in flow rate specifications is to demonstrate a higher flow rate during surgery for the proposed Irrigation sleeve. Moreover, the difference in sieeve color (Light Blue and Orange vs. Yellow) is to differentiate between various sleeve gauge size offerings within the market (20G vs. 21G). Moreover, the difference in the sleeve. color within the 21G size offering (Light Blue vs Orange) is only to offer the surgeon a preferred choice for use. Lastly, the proposed Irrigation sleeve will be provided as reusable

compared to AMO's disposable sleeve product offering. This additional reusability claim has been supported by testing highlighted in latter sections.

Aside from these differences highlighted in bold, in the table below, the Irrigation sleeves have the same intended use, material, and functionality as its predicate and are therefore. deemed to be substantially equivalent. Additionally, Functional validation testing has been performed to demonstrate higher flow rate for the proposed irrigation Sleeve. This testing can be found below under Section 16, Performance Testing - Bench.

3.1 Device Description

Phacoemulsification (Phaco) is a technique used during cataract surgery to emulsify and extract a cataractous lens from the eye with an ultrasonic handpiece. The ultrasonic handpiece is connected to, and powered by a phacoemulsification system, which is identified in 21 CFR 886.4670 as "an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract."

The fragmentation needle, also referred to as a phaco tip, vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency and emulsifies the cataract when connected to an ultrasonic phacoemulsification handpiece. The fragmented tissue can then be aspirated and removed through the lumen of the tip. During a surgical procedure, irrigation solution, typically Balanced Salt Solution (BSS), is used to irrigate the eye and this is passed with the help of an Irrigation Sleeve. The Irrigation Sleeve directs the irrigation solution across the shaft of the phacoemulsification tip, allowing it to enter the eye during ocular surgery. This small molded component is placed over the Phacoemulsification tip. The proposed tips and irrigation sleeves are made of fitanium and medical grade silicone respectively.

The subject of this 510(k) premarket notification is the Reusable Phacoemulsification Tips (Phaco Tips) & Irrigation Sleeves (Phaco Sleeves), which will be additions to the family of Disposable Laminar Flow Phacoemulsification Tips & Sleeves. The Phaco tips that are the subject of this 510(k) premarket notification have two different designs, straight and curved tip. The same two designs were the subject of the predicate device and have been cleared by the FDA under K111882 (AMO Laminar Flow Phaco Tips). These tips were cleared by the FDA for single use only and now AMO intends to introduce the reusable version of the same models into the market to offer a broad range of products to our customers. These tips will be compatible with all our currently marketed AMO ultrasonic handpieces, and will be made of the same surgical grade titanium as the predicate device. Moreover, these 21G tips will also be compatible with our 21G Irrigation Sleeves (Phaco Sleeve), which is the other subject device of this 510(k) premarket notification. The 21G Irrigation Sleeve will have a slightly different design as compared to the predicate device, which has been cleared under K103023 (AMO Irrigation Sleeve). The reduced gauge size (21G) is designed for use with the 21G Phaco tips. The proposed Light Blue and Orange sleeve will be made of the same medical grade silicone material as the predicate device (Yellow Sleeve), with a difference in the colorant to distinguish between the various AMO sleeve offerings in the market.
