Overview
AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026
The Iocare Phacoemulsification Pack is a Unit, Phacofragmentation device designed for ophthalmic surgical procedures. It facilitates the emulsification and removal of the eye’s natural lens during cataract surgery, a process known as phacoemulsification. The pack includes components essential for the procedure, such as irrigation and aspiration tools, to ensure precise lens fragmentation and extraction while maintaining intraocular stability.
This device is supplied as a sterile, single-use pack and is intended for use in controlled surgical environments, such as ophthalmology clinics or hospitals. It is classified as a Class 2 medical device under FDA regulations (product code HQC) and was cleared via the Traditional 510(k) pathway. The pack’s components are non-magnetic and MRI-safe, allowing for compatibility with magnetic resonance imaging if needed. Storage instructions specify maintaining sterility until use, and the device is authorized under FDA clearance K843277.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 1 Oct 2026
What is the IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack used for?
The IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack is designed specifically for ophthalmic surgical procedures, particularly cataract surgery. It facilitates the emulsification and removal of the eye’s natural lens through phacoemulsification—a process that breaks down the lens into small fragments for safe extraction. The pack includes irrigation and aspiration tools to maintain intraocular stability during the procedure.
How is the IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack supplied, and is it reusable?
The IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack is supplied as a sterile, single-use unit. This ensures patient safety by preventing cross-contamination between procedures. Single-use devices are also designed for optimal performance in controlled surgical environments, such as hospitals or ophthalmology clinics, where sterility is critical.
Is the IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack compatible with MRI scans?
Yes, the components of the IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack are non-magnetic and MRI-safe. This allows for post-operative MRI imaging if needed, as the materials will not interfere with the magnetic field or imaging results. Always confirm compatibility with your imaging facility’s protocols before scheduling post-op scans.
How should the IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack be stored before use?
The pack must be stored in a way that maintains sterility until use. This typically involves keeping it in its original, sealed packaging in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. Avoid opening or handling the contents until immediately before surgery to prevent contamination.
What regulatory clearance does the IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack hold?
The IOCARE Phacoemulsification Pack was cleared via the Traditional 510(k) pathway by the FDA under clearance number K843277. It is classified as a Class 2 medical device (product code HQC) and is intended for use in controlled surgical settings as described in the device labeling.
