Overview

AI-generated summary, 1 Oct 2026

Written by a language model from registry data. Not verified by deviCERTS or the manufacturer. The registry data above is the record.

The OMS Slimline Phaco Handpiece is a Unit, Phacofragmentation device designed for ophthalmic surgical procedures. It is engineered to facilitate cataract removal through phacoemulsification, a minimally invasive technique that breaks and aspirates clouded lens material from the eye. The device integrates with phacoemulsification systems to enhance precision and efficiency during surgery, reducing trauma to surrounding ocular structures.

This handpiece is intended for single-use in sterile surgical settings, adhering to Class II regulatory classification under FDA 510(k) clearance (K950218). It is supplied as a reusable or disposable component, depending on facility protocols, and must be handled according to manufacturer guidelines to ensure sterility and functionality. The device is not explicitly noted for MRI safety or specific size variations in the provided data, though its compatibility depends on the associated phacoemulsification system. Storage requires adherence to sterile packaging and environmental controls as per regulatory standards.
