Yes
The device is used to break up and remove cataracts from the eye, which directly treats a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is used for breaking up and removing cataractous lenses during ocular surgery, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a physical medical device made of titanium and silicone, intended for use in ocular surgery. The description focuses on hardware components and their functionality, 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 the device is used during ocular surgery to break up and remove a cataractous lens within the eye. This is an in-vivo (within a living organism) procedure.
- Device Description: The description details how the device functions inside the eye during surgery.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the Eye, which is part of the living body.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease. This device does not fit this definition.
The RAICO Phacoemulsification Tip and Irrigation Sleeve are surgical instruments used directly on the patient during a medical procedure.

Device Description
Phacoemulsification is a common practice in modern cataract surgery in which the eye's internal lens is emulsified with an ultrasonic handpiece and aspirated from the eye. 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 primary device that is the subject of this 510(k) is a "Phacoemulsification Tip" (or "Phaco Tip") that is connected to the ultrasonic phacoemulsification handpiece. The Phacoemulsification Tip vibrates at an ultrasonic frequency, powered by the handpiece and surgical system, and thus emulsifies the cataract. The fragmented tissue is then be aspirated and removed through the lumen of the tip. During a surgical procedure, irrigation solution is used to irrigate the eye and this is passed with the help of an "Irrigation Sleeve", a small molded component that is placed over the Phacoemulsification Tip.
The RAICO Phacoemulsification Tip is packaged with a RAICO Irrigation Sleeve. The RAICO Phacoemulsification Tip and RAICO Irrigation Sleeve are made of medical grade titanium and silicone, respectively.
In addition, test chamber and wrench accessories are included in the package and all of the devices and accessories will be sterilized, labeled and intended for single use only.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Functionality testing to compare the RAICO Phacoemulsification Tips and Irrigation Sleeves to the predicate phacoemulsification tips and irrigation sleeves was conducted. This testing included priming and tuning of phaco tips with handpiece and phaco machine, cutting properties including resonant frequency, ultrasonic stroke performance and velocity calculation, as well as irrigation performance, aspiration capability and material tensile strength.
The RAICO Phacoemulsification Tips and Irrigation Sleeves are provided sterile and are intended for single-use. These devices will be ethylene oxide sterilized using a cycle validated per AAMI/ISO standards.
Sterilization validation, stability (shelf-life) and packaging integrity have also been tested and, based on the results obtained, the RAICO Phacoemulsification Tip and Irrigation Sleeve are deemed to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
Biocompatibility evaluation of the RAICO Phacoemulsification Tips and Irrigation Sleeves was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995. These biocompatibility studies have shown the material used in these devices to be biocompatible and safe for use during surgery.

Dear Ravi Nallakrishnan:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is 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 the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
