No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators typically associated with AI/ML medical devices. The intended use is a standard surgical procedure.

No
The device performs emulsification and aspiration of cataract. While this process is part of a therapeutic procedure (cataract removal), the device itself is performing a surgical function rather than directly providing therapy. It removes diseased tissue but doesn't impart a therapeutic effect to the body in the way, for example, a drug or radiation therapy would.

No
Explanation: The intended use of the device is "Emulsification and aspiration of cataract," which describes a surgical procedure rather than a diagnostic process.

No

The provided 510(k) summary describes a device for "Emulsification and aspiration of cataract," which is a surgical procedure requiring physical hardware (like a phacoemulsification machine). The summary lacks any information suggesting it is a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Emulsification and aspiration of cataract." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's eye, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description lacks any mention of:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device's function is purely procedural.

Re: K980085 Trade Name: PHACO COMMANDER Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 86 HQC Dated: December 20,1997 Received: January 9, 1997

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
