FDA PRODUCT CODE · CLASS III
QCB — Phakic Toric Intraocular Lens
Intended to be implanted within the eye to optically correct astigmatism (with or without other refractive errors), without removing the natural crystalline lens.
What these counts are not
Clearance and recall counts are SPEQ’s aggregation of FDA’s own published records for the code. A recall count is a measure of history, not of a device’s safety, neither number is an FDA rating, and SPEQ is not affiliated with the FDA.
What this classification requires
Every statement below is FDA’s own classification record for this product code, quoted from the device classification field reference. The SPEQ reading beneath each one is SPEQ’s interpretation of what it means for the work, and is not FDA text.
PMA
SPEQ READINGPremarket approval under 21 CFR Part 814. FDA reviews safety and effectiveness directly rather than by comparison, so clinical evidence is normally expected and the quality system is inspected before approval rather than after marketing.
Class III (high risk): general controls and Premarket Approval (PMA)
SPEQ READINGGeneral controls are insufficient to assure safety and effectiveness, so approval rests on direct evidence rather than equivalence.
Device is not eligible for The Voluntary Malfunction Summary Reporting Program
SPEQ READINGIndividual malfunction reporting under 21 CFR Part 803 applies. The complaint-handling system has to produce a decision per event, not per period.
Not exempt due to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP)/Quality System
SPEQ READINGThe full Quality Management System Regulation (21 CFR 820, incorporating ISO 13485:2016) applies, and is what an FDA inspection of this device will be conducted against.
Device is implantable
SPEQ READINGImplant status raises the evidentiary bar on biocompatibility and on traceability from finished device back to material lot.
Device is not used for life sustaining purposes
SPEQ READINGNo life-sustaining designation attaches to this code.
Device is not a candidate for a third party review program
SPEQ READINGFDA reviews any premarket notification for this code directly.
Other product codes under 21 CFR 886.3600
One regulation usually governs several product codes. These share this code’s regulation, and therefore its classification basis.
21 CFR 886.3600 — Intraocular lens
The classification regulation for this product code, as published by the Office of the Federal Register. This is the regulation text itself — no SPEQ interpretation appears in it.
(a) Identification. An intraocular lens is a device made of materials such as glass or plastic intended to be implanted to replace the natural lens of an eye.
(b) Classification. Class III.
(c) Date PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required. As of May 28, 1976, an approval under section 515 of the act is required before this device may be commercially distributed. See § 886.3.
