Intended Use
The Medicel IOL Injector Set and Cartridge for intraocular lenses is indicated for the insertion only of models of intraocular lenses that allow use of this injector in their approved labeling.
Device Story
The Medicel IOL Injector Set is a manual surgical instrument used by ophthalmologists during cataract surgery to insert foldable intraocular lenses into the eye. The system consists of an injector (available as reusable titanium or single-use plastic) and a single-use, sterile, lubricated polypropylene cartridge. The surgeon loads the foldable IOL into the cartridge, which is then attached to the injector. The injector mechanism facilitates the controlled folding and delivery of the lens through a small incision into the capsular bag. By enabling a smaller incision size compared to manual implantation, the device aims to improve surgical outcomes and reduce trauma to the eye. The device is purely mechanical; it does not involve electronic, software, or algorithmic components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Biocompatibility testing was performed on all contact materials, and functional performance testing was conducted using the recommended intraocular lenses to ensure compatibility and efficacy.
Technological Characteristics
Device consists of an injector and a disposable cartridge. Injector materials: reusable (titanium) or single-use (plastic). Cartridge material: lubricated polypropylene. Sterilization: cartridges provided sterile. Operation: manual mechanical insertion. No software, electronics, or energy sources.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the insertion of specific models of foldable intraocular lenses (IOLs) that specify the use of this injector set in their approved labeling.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intraocular lens guide is a device intended to be inserted into the eye during surgery to direct the insertion of an intraocular lens and be removed after insertion is completed.

Dear Dr. Myers:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of November 1, 2007.
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 (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
{3}------------------------------------------------
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.
