Modular design allows configuration for specific surgical needs. Benefits include integrated control of multiple surgical modalities, automated IV pole, and programmable settings for multiple surgeons.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing, design verification, and comparison of technical specifications and functional capabilities against predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Modular ophthalmic microsurgical system. Components: embedded PC, display console, power supply, and functional modules (phaco, vitrectomy, irrigation/aspiration, coagulation, illumination). Connectivity: foot control, remote control. Power: 100-120V/220-240V, 50/60 Hz. Operating environment: 10°-40° C, up to 98% humidity. Features: self-diagnostics, error processing, automated IV pole, programmable surgeon settings.

## 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.

{1}

2. Ophthalmic Unit. This unit is comprised of a base unit, a power supply module, and up to five selected ophthalmic modules. The base unit is the primary housing for the system ophthalmic instrumentation, and is designed to facilitate front loading and unloading of up to six modules. The power supply module is the power source for the remaining five modules occupying the base unit. The ophthalmic modules are functional units, each of which contain the necessary components to interface the module with the Ophthalmic Base Unit or Ophthalmic Expansion Unit. The ophthalmic modules which will be available at product introduction are:

a. Air/Fluid Exchange and Scissors/Forceps module.
b. Bipolar Coagulation module.
c. Illumination module.
d. Irrigation, Scroll Aspiration, and Vitrectomy module.
e. Irrigation, Venturi aspiration, and Vitrectomy module.
f. Phacoemulsification and Phacofragmentation module.
