- K910245: I/a Handpiece with Replaceable Tips, Surgical Technologies, Inc. (1991). Our reading of the summary gave K910245, FDA’s number for I/a Handpiece with Replaceable Tips (Surgical Technologies, Inc.). Its FDA name has none of the distinctive words the summary uses for the device it names, “ALCON® Silicone I/A Tip”. Kept off the family tree. Summary page 1.
