No
The device description focuses on traditional surgical functions and control mechanisms (foot controller, touch screen, push buttons). There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven decision-making.
YesRationale: Both the Laser Photolysis System and the Pharo Ophthalmic Surgery System are indicated for use in surgical procedures (fragmentation and removal of cataractous lenses, and anterior/posterior ophthalmic surgery, respectively) which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device description and intended use clearly state that this system is for surgical procedures (fragmentation, removal, cutting, irrigation, aspiration) of the eye, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly outlines a complex hardware system including a laser console, pumps, handpieces, and various accessories, indicating it is not software-only.
Based on the provided information, neither the Laser Photolysis System nor the Pharo Ophthalmic Surgery System are IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The intended use and device descriptions clearly state that these systems are used for surgical procedures directly on the human eye (fragmentation and removal of the cataractous crystalline lens, anterior and posterior ophthalmic surgery). They are not used to analyze blood, urine, tissue samples, or other bodily fluids or substances outside of the body.
- The functions described are surgical interventions. Irrigation/Aspiration, Ultrasound phacoemulsification, Bipolar diathermy, pneumatic vitrectomy, pneumatic cutters scissors, air and oil infusion system, illumination, and laser fragmentation are all procedures performed on the patient, not tests performed on a specimen.
These devices are clearly surgical devices intended for use in ophthalmic surgery.

Device Description
Pharo Ophthalmic Surgery System is a class The II ophthalmic surgical system intended for use in anterior and/or posterior segment ocular surgery. Functions include Irrigation/Aspiration, Ultrasound phacoemulsification, Bipolar diathermy, pneumatic vitrectomy, pneumatic cutters scissors, air and oil infusion system, and a and illumination.
The user interfaces include a foot controller and a touch screen control panel. The vaccuum system utilizes either a venturi or peristaltic pump system. Peripherals include the printer module, cart and trolley.
Accessories include an electric or manual infusion pole, cutters in several models, vitrectomes in several models, diathermy forceps and pencils in several models, ultrasound handpieces in either of two models, I/A handpieces in several models, fiber optic cables for illumination in several models, air exchange sets, tubing sets, and collection cassettes.
The Photolysis System is intended for use in Laser fragmentation of cataracts. The device consists of a laser console, which delivers energy by fiber optic via a disposable probe. The probe converts the laser light energy into acoustic energy, which is used to fragment the crystalline lens. The system is controlled by push buttons on the front panel and via footswitch. Irrigation/aspiration is provided by the Pharo system. Accessories include the laser photolysis probe and a dedicated irrigation handpiece.

manufactured by Alcon Laboratories, Inc. Each is intended for anterior and posterior segment op: ******* surgery. Each incorporates an infusion/aspiration syster, sitrasound phacoemulsification via elecronically driven handpieces incorporating piezo-electric transducers, pneumatically driven vitrectomy attachments, and bipolar diathermy. Each allows programming by several surgeons. Re-usable, resterilizable attachments and accessories are available with each system. Both the Pharo and the Accuras utilize viscous fluid control systems for silicone oil infusion during posterior segment surgery.
Photolysis System utilizes a photoacoustic The Laser transducer to achieve phacofragmentation. An Nd:YAG laser system fires laser pulses of approximately 7 nanoseconds duration, which are deliverd by fiber optic to a titanium target in the disposable handpiece. Laser energy at a wavelength of 1064 nm is generated at energy levels of 6 to 10 millijoules per pulse, at repetion rates up to 20 Hz. Each pulse of laser energy causes plasma formation within the probe and results in the emission of shock waves from the opening in the probe tip. The shock wave energy is used to fragment the lens.
The laser energy emitted from the probe tip places the device in Class one, as defined in 21 CFR 1040.10(b) (5). No health risks have been identified for this level of radiation.
The Laser Photolysis System is substantially equivalent to Premiere Microsurqical System Marketed marketed by Storz Instrument Company and the Alcon 20000 Series Legacy marketed by Alcon Laboratories, Inc. - Each device is intended for fragmentation and removal of the cataractous crystalline lens. Each device uses acoustic shock waves to break up the lens, then aspirates the material through the same probe. The materials, warnings, side effects, and methods are all substantially the same.
Conclusion:
The Pharo Ophthalmic Surqical System is substantially equivalent to the 20000 Series Legacy marketed by Alcon Laboratories, Inc., the Accuras marketed by Alcon Laboratores, and the Premiere Microsurgical System marketed by Storz Instrument Company, already legally marketed. The materials, design, intended use, surgical methods, and labeling are all substantially the same, and no new questions of Safety and Effectiveness arise.

Dear Mr. Hoefer:
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 requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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.
