## Intended Use

The Ryder Lacrimal Intubation set is valuable in the reconstruction of the lacrimal outflow system and also useful in canaliculus repair, lacrimal obstruction and complicated and uncomplicated dacryocystorhinostomy procedures.

## Device Story

Ryder Lacrimal Intubation Set consists of two malleable stainless steel probes attached to a flexible silicone tube; used by ophthalmologists for lacrimal outflow system reconstruction, canaliculus repair, and dacryocystorhinostomy. Probes facilitate insertion of silicone tube into lacrimal system. Device is single-use and sterilized via gamma radiation. Provides mechanical support/stenting for lacrimal passages during healing.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material comparison.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: malleable stainless steel probes, flexible silicone tubing. Sterilization: gamma radiation. Form factor: two probes attached to a silicone tube. Design variation: variable outside diameter of silicone tubing compared to fixed diameter of predicate.

## Regulatory Identification

Lacrimal stents and intubations sets are intended to repair the lacrimal drainage system.  Lacrimal stents and intubations sets are indicated for, but limited to, the treatment of epiphora in infants and adults; canalicular pathologies such as stenosis; obstruction or laceration; and conditions requiring dacryocystorhinostomy (conventional or laser); or imperforation of the nasolacrimal duct in an infant.

Dear Mr. Clark:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 18, 1996.

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.
