Intended Use
The intended use of this device is to fold and deliver Alcon ACRYSOF® intraccular lenses into the eye for replacement of the human crystalline lens.
Device Description
The MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System consists of two parts: an autoclavable, reusable titanium handpiece and a sterile, single-use cartridge. It is a device used for folding and delivering ACRYSOF intraocular lenses into the eye for replacement of the human crystalline lens. The system provides a controlled means to reliably place the ACRYSOF® intraocular lens into the capsular bag.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of folding and delivering lenses and does not mention any computational or learning capabilities.

No
The device is a delivery system for intraocular lenses, not a device that directly or by itself provides therapy or treatment.

No
The device is used to fold and deliver intraocular lenses, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a reusable titanium handpiece and a single-use cartridge, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "fold and deliver Alcon ACRYSOF® intraccular lenses into the eye for replacement of the human crystalline lens." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System" consisting of a handpiece and cartridge used for "folding and delivering ACRYSOF intraocular lenses into the eye." This further reinforces its use in a surgical context.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "eye," indicating a direct interaction with the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition. IVDs are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose diseases or conditions.

This device is clearly designed for a surgical procedure to implant an intraocular lens, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The performance test demonstrated that the MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System can be used to deliver ACRYSOF® IOLs without affecting the overall length, haptic angle, power, resolution, or cosmetic attributes of the lenses. The test lenses were delivered smoothly and unfolded completely within 30 seconds in a controlled fashion.

1. Predicate Device

The legally marketed device(s) to which we are claiming equivalence to are:

  • K903574, ChiroFlex Lens Microsert™, (Chiron Ophthalmics Inc.) a.
  • K913626, Softrans The Injector, (STAAR Surgical Company) b.

2. Device Description

The MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System consists of two parts: an autoclavable, reusable titanium handpiece and a sterile, single-use cartridge. It is a device used for folding and delivering ACRYSOF intraocular lenses into the eye for replacement of the human crystalline lens. The system provides a controlled means to reliably place the ACRYSOF® intraocular lens into the capsular bag.

3. Intended Use of the Device

The intended use of this device is to fold and deliver Alcon ACRYSOF® intraccular lenses into the eye for replacement of the human crystalline lens.

4. Summary of the Technological Characteristics of the Device

The MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System utilizes a sterile, single use cartridge and a reusable handpiece to deliver ACRYSOF® lenses. The cartridge is designed for easy loading and reliable folding of ACRYSOF lenses. The handpiece accepts the cartridge and delivers the lens by using a plunger to express the lens. The plunger head is contoured to provide a good contact to the lens as well as an adequate clearance for the trailing haptic. The plunger is advanced by a screw mechanism to ensure a smooth and well controlled lens delivery.

5. Summary of the Performance Data

The performance test demonstrated that the MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System can be used to deliver ACRYSOF® IOLs without affecting the overall length, haptic angle, power, resolution, or cosmetic attributes of the lenses. The test lenses were delivered smoothly and unfolded completely within 30 seconds in a controlled fashion.

6. Conclusions

The MONARCH™ IOL Delivery System is easy to use, properly delivers the Alcon ACRYSOF® intraocular lens, and is substantially equivalent to devices such as the Softrans' " Injector (Model ET) or the ChiroFlex Lens Microsert™ system.
