It is designed to incorporate Alcon cartridges Type C for foldable intraocular lenses. The cartridge is loaded into the injector body and by pushing the piston. The lens will be removed out of the cartridge and delivered to the desired position. ## Device Story Royale® AE 9045 is a reusable, autoclavable titanium hand piece; used by ophthalmologists during cataract surgery. Device functions as an intraocular lens (IOL) guide; accepts sterile single-use Alcon Type C cartridges containing folded IOLs. Operation involves manual advancement of a syringe-type plunger; ball-bearing technology ensures smooth, controlled delivery of the lens into the eye. Output is the physical delivery of the IOL to the desired position within the eye. Benefits include facilitating lens implantation through small incisions without compromising lens power, shape, or cosmetic attributes. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance testing confirmed the injector delivers Alcon ACRYSOF® lenses using Type C cartridges without adversely affecting lens power, shape, resolution, or cosmetic attributes. ## Technological Characteristics Reusable titanium hand piece; syringe-type plunger mechanism with ball-bearing technology for smooth delivery. Designed for use with Alcon Type C cartridges. Autoclavable. ## Regulatory Identification An intraocular lens guide is a device intended to be inserted into the eye during surgery to direct the insertion of an intraocular lens and be removed after insertion is completed. ## Predicate Devices - Hand piece of Micra Instument Ltd.

Ltd. Helmstrasse 1 CH- 2560 Nidau Switzerland # 510 (k) Summary "Injector" October, 30th 2002 Submitted by: Thomas Meyer Director Marketing and Sales Anton Meyer & Co. Ltd. Helmstrasse 1 CH-2560 Nidau/Switzerland Tel: +41-32-332 91 11 Fax: +41-32-331 52 57 {1}------------------------------------------------ Common Name: Injector Classification Name: Intraocular lens guide, CFR 886.4300 ## 1. Predicate Device: The predicate devices to which we are claiming equivalence are: - a) Hand piece of Micra Instument Ltd. Lens Insertion System K 011392 - b) Hand piece of MONARCH® II IOL; K 003768 - c) Hand piece of Micro STAAR™ Injector; K983129 - d) Hand piece of AMO Phacophlex II; K961242 #### 2. Device Description The injector is an autoclavable, reusable titanium hand piece which is used to deliver folded intraocular lenses into the eye for replacement of the human crystalline lens. ## 3. Intended Use The Royale® AE 9045 injector is intended as a reusable instrument to assist in implanting Alcon ACRYSOF® foldable intraocular lenses during a normal small incision cataract surgery. It is designed to incorporate Alcon cartridges Type C for foldable intraocular lenses. The cartridge is loaded into the injector body and by pushing the piston. The lens will be removed out of the cartridge and delivered to the desired position. ## 4. Summary of the Technological Characteristics of the Device The injector reusable hand piece accepts the cartridges with a sterile single use cartridge which incorporates the folded lens and delivers the lens by using a plunger to express the lens. The plunger's head is contoured to provide a good contact to the lens as well as an adequate clearance for the trailing haptic. The plunger is advanced by direct forward motion applied to the syringe type plunger. Due to the ball bearing technology a smooth and well controlled lens delivery is ensured. - 5. Summary of the Performance Characteristics {2}------------------------------------------------ The performance tests for the injector will show that it can be used to deliver IOL cartridges (Type C Cartridges with the corresponding ACYSOF® Lens Models) without adversely affecting the overall power, shape resolution or cosmetic attributes of the lenses. #### 6. Summary of the Performance Data The results of the non clinical performance testing will be subject to particular passing criteria that will support claim of substantial equivalence. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
