## Intended Use

As an accessory for the Storz Premiere phacoemulsification system, the Benjamin ENVOY Hand Piece intended for use in cataract surgery to breakup, emulsify and extract the cataract.

## Device Story

Benjamin ENVOY Phaco Handpiece is a replacement accessory for Bausch and Lomb Premiere and Protégé phacoemulsification systems. Device uses piezoelectric transduction to longitudinally oscillate a cutting tip at 28 kHz resonant frequency. Features integral colinear irrigation and coaxial aspiration fluidic pathways. Used by surgeons in clinical cataract surgery settings. Handpiece connects to host console via multi-contact electrical connector and fluidic tubing. Output is mechanical oscillation of the tip to emulsify cataractous lens material, which is then aspirated through the handpiece. Benefits include compatibility with existing surgical consoles for cataract removal.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and functional comparison to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Piezoelectric transduction; 28 kHz resonant frequency; 2 piezocrystals; titanium, silicone, and stainless steel construction; integral colinear irrigation and coaxial aspiration pathways; steam sterilization; compatible with Premiere and Protégé consoles via multi-contact electrical connector and luer fittings.

## Regulatory 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.

## Predicate Devices

- Storz Premiere ® Microsurgical System ([K946227](/device/K946227.md))

# Intended Use:

As an accessory for the Storz Premiere phacoemulsification system, the Benjamin ENVOY Hand Piece intended for use in cataract surgery to breakup, emulsify and extract the cataract.

#### Device Description:

- The Envoy is a Class II phacofragmentation handpiece device per 886.4670 of 21 1. General: The handpiece uses a piezoelectric transduction method to longitudinally oscillate a CFR. cutting tip (not included with the device) at a resonant frequency of 28 kHz. The device has integral colinear irrigation and coaxial aspiration fluidic pathways.
- 2. Host Phacofragmentation System: The device is intended as a replacement for the phacofragmentation handpiece used on the Bausch and Lomb Premiere™ and Protégé™ phacofragmentation system consoles. These systems has been commercially available in the U.S. for approximately 10 years. To insure compatibility with the host system, the Envoy handpiece is designed to be equivalent to the original handpiece used on the previously mentioned systems.
