Intended Use
The AMO®Diplomax™ and AMO®Opsys® consoles are designed to provide all the surgical capabilities desired by the Anterior Segment/Cataract Surgeon. Phacofragmentation, also known as phacoemulsification or “phaco,” is a cataract removal technique. When utilizing this technique, the surgeon makes a small incision in the eye and breaks up the cataract using ultrasonic vibration delivered by the tip of the handpiece inserted through the incision.
Device Story
Phacoemulsification system consoles (AMO®Diplomax™ and AMO®Opsys®) used by ophthalmic surgeons during cataract surgery. Device provides ultrasonic vibration to a handpiece tip to break up and remove cataracts. System includes driver controller board, power supply PCB, and software. Surgeon operates console to control phaco output energy, irrigation, and vacuum. Output affects cataract fragmentation and removal efficiency. Benefits include surgical capability for cataract extraction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing conducted on the AMO®Diplomax™ console with the enhanced driver board, power module PCB, and modified software confirmed compatibility and that modifications do not affect safety or effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics
Phacoemulsification console system. Components: driver controller board, power supply PCB, software. Energy source: ultrasonic vibration. Safety: meets UL 544. Features: load compensation, output waveforms, phaco output energy control, continuous irrigation, vacuum control, and self-test functionality.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use by anterior segment/cataract surgeons for phacoemulsification (cataract removal) via ultrasonic vibration through a small incision.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A phacofragmentation system is an AC-powered device with a fragmenting needle intended for use in cataract surgery to disrupt a cataract with ultrasound and extract the cataract.

## 7. Brief summary of nonclinical tests and results:
Performance testing was conducted on the AMO®Diplomax™ console with the Enhanced Driver Board, Power Module PCB and modified software.
The results of these tests indicate that the Enhanced Driver Board and Power Module PCB are compatible when incorporated into the AMO®Diplomax™ and AMO®Opsys® consoles and will not compromise system performance. The modifications incorporated into the modified boards and software do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the console. The overall function and intended use of the modified consoles are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Therefore, the consoles with the modified boards are substantially equivalent to the predicate consoles in commercial distribution.
