Overview
AI-generated summary, 18 Sep 2026
The Models 1S & 1P Intraocular Lens is a posterior chamber intraocular lens designed to replace the natural crystalline lens following cataract extraction or other lens removal procedures. These lenses are intended for implantation in the eye to restore vision by focusing light onto the retina, correcting refractive errors and improving visual acuity.
These lenses are supplied sterile and intended for single-use in ophthalmic surgical settings. They are classified as Class III devices under FDA regulations (886.3600) and were authorized via a Premarket Approval (PMA P800049, Supplement S003). The Models 1S & 1P are non-MRI-conditional and must be handled with sterile techniques in a controlled surgical environment.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 18 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Models 1S & 1P Intraocular Lens, and in which procedures is it typically used?
The Models 1S & 1P Intraocular Lens is designed to replace the natural crystalline lens after cataract extraction or other lens removal procedures. Its purpose is to restore vision by focusing light onto the retina, correcting refractive errors, and improving visual acuity following implantation in the posterior chamber of the eye.
Are the Models 1S & 1P lenses single-use or reusable, and how should they be handled during surgery?
The Models 1S & 1P lenses are intended for single-use only in sterile ophthalmic surgical settings. They are supplied sterile and must be handled using sterile techniques in a controlled environment to maintain integrity and prevent contamination.
What regulatory pathway was followed for the approval of these lenses, and what classification do they hold under FDA regulations?
The Models 1S & 1P Intraocular Lenses were authorized via a Premarket Approval (PMA P800049, Supplement S003). They are classified as Class III devices under FDA regulations (886.3600), reflecting their high-risk nature and the need for rigorous pre-market evaluation.
Can these lenses be used in patients who require MRI scans, and why?
No, the Models 1S & 1P lenses are non-MRI-conditional, meaning they are not safe for use in MRI environments. This is explicitly stated in the device’s specifications, and patients with these lenses should avoid MRI procedures unless specifically cleared by a radiologist or manufacturer.
What type of surgical setting is recommended for implantation of these lenses, and why?
These lenses are designed for use in ophthalmic surgical settings that adhere to sterile protocols. The requirement for sterile handling and controlled environments ensures patient safety and device integrity, as contamination or improper technique could compromise outcomes.
