Phacoemulsification of cataracts in the human eye.
Device Story
The Wave Digital Phaco System is an ophthalmic surgical device used for the phacoemulsification of cataracts. It utilizes ultrasonic energy to emulsify cataractous lens tissue, allowing for aspiration and removal from the eye. The system is operated by ophthalmologists in a surgical setting. It provides precise control over irrigation, aspiration, and ultrasonic power parameters to facilitate lens extraction during cataract surgery. By enabling efficient emulsification, the device assists in the surgical treatment of cataracts, potentially improving patient visual outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence determination based on 510(k) notification review.
Technological Characteristics
Phacoemulsification system utilizing ultrasonic energy for lens emulsification. Includes irrigation and aspiration subsystems. Designed for ophthalmic surgical use.
Indications for Use
Indicated for phacoemulsification of cataracts in the human eye. Prescription use only.
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.
