K024072 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the DUCKWORTH & KENT LTD LENS DELIVERY SYSTEM. Classified as Folders And Injectors, Intraocular Lens (iol) (product code MSS), Class I - General Controls.

Submitted by Duckworth & Kent, Ltd. (Baldock, Hertfordshire, GB). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 6, 2003 after a review of 300 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Ophthalmic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 886.4300 - the FDA ophthalmic device framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: Standard predicate-based submission. Standard predicate reliance. This clearance follows a standard predicate-based equivalence path within the Ophthalmic review framework, consistent with the majority of Class II 510(k) submissions.
