Intended Use
The Reprocessed Surgical Electric Instrument (hereinafter sealer/divider) is indicated for use in open surgical procedures to seal vessels up to and including 7 mm, lymphatics, and tissue bundles. When used with the ForceTriad™ energy platform the sealer/divider can also be used to seal pulmonary vasculature. The sealer/divider should not be used for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation as it has not been shown effective for sterilization procedures.
Device Story
Reprocessed surgical electric instrument (sealer/divider) used in open surgery to seal vessels (up to 7 mm), lymphatics, and tissue bundles; compatible with ForceTriad energy platform for pulmonary vasculature sealing. Device features 18 cm shaft, 13.5 mm diameter, 180-degree rotation, and 36 mm curved jaw with 34 mm cutting length. Operated by surgeon via handle latching and button activation or foot switch. Device functions by delivering energy to tissue to achieve hemostasis. Reprocessing restores used devices to original functional specifications.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Validation included cleaning and sterilization efficacy, biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), ethylene oxide residuals (ISO 10993-7), packaging integrity (ASTM D4169, F88, F1929, F2096), shelf life (ASTM 1980-07), and functional performance testing via simulated use on beef tissue, visual inspection, and fatigue testing.
Technological Characteristics
Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device. 18 cm shaft, 13.5 mm diameter, 36 mm curved jaw. Materials and design identical to predicate. Sterilization via ethylene oxide. Standards: ISO 11135, USP <71>, ISO 10993-1/7, ASTM D4169, F88, F1929, F2096, ASTM 1980-07.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in open surgical procedures for patients requiring vessel sealing (up to 7 mm), lymphatics, and tissue bundle sealing. Can be used for pulmonary vasculature sealing when used with ForceTriad energy platform. Contraindicated for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

| Trade Name: | Reprocessed Surgical Electric Instrument |
| Classification Name: | Electrosurgical Cutting and Coagulation Device and<br>Accessories, Reprocessed |
Classification Number: Class II, 21 CFR 878.4400
Product Code: NUJ
| Predicate<br>Devices: | The reprocessed sealer/divider is substantially equivalent to the Covidien LigaSure Impact™ Hand Activated<br>Sealer/Divider (K070162). |
|---------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Device<br>Description: | The sealer/divider is for use in open surgical procedures to seal vessels up to and including 7 mm, lymphatics,<br>and tissue bundles. The sealer/divider can be used to seal pulmonary vasculature when used with the<br>ForceTriad™ energy platform. |
| | The sealer/divider has an 18 cm shaft with a 13.5 mm diameter and can be rotated 180 degrees. The curved<br>jaw is 36 mm long with a 34 mm cutting length. The sealer/divider is activated by pulling the handle until<br>latched and pressing the button on the device or depressing the foot switch. |
| Intended Use: | The Reprocessed Surgical Electric Instrument (hereinafter sealer/divider) is indicated for use in open surgical<br>procedures to seal vessels up to and including 7 mm, lymphatics, and tissue bundles. When used with the<br>ForceTriad™ energy platform the sealer/divider can also be used to seal pulmonary vasculature. The<br>sealer/divider should not be used for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation as it has not been shown effective<br>for sterilization procedures. |
| Technological<br>Characteristics: | The reprocessed surgical electric instruments are identical to the predicate devices in design, materials of<br>construction, and intended use. There are no changes to the clinical applications, patient population,<br>performance specifications, or method of operation. |
| Functional and<br>Safety Testing: | Representative samples of reprocessed sealer/dividers were tested to demonstrate appropriate functional<br>characteristics. Process validation testing was performed to validate the cleaning and sterilization procedures<br>as well as device packaging. In addition, the manufacturing process includes visual and validated functional<br>testing of all products produced. |
| Summary of<br>Non-clinical<br>Tests<br>Conducted: | Specific non-clinical tests performed included: cleaning validation, sterilization validation (ISO 11135, USP<br><71>), biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-1), ethylene oxide residual testing (ISO 10993-7), packaging<br>validation (ASTM D4169, ASTM F88, ASTM F1929, ASTM F2096), and shelf life validation (ASTM 1980-<br>07). In addition, validation of functional performance (bench testing) was performed through simulated use<br>on beef tissue, visual inspection, fatigue testing, and function testing. Performance testing shows the<br>reprocessed sealer/dividers to perform as intended. |
| Conclusion: | The reprocessed sealer/divider is substantially equivalent to the Covidien LigaSure Impact™ Hand Activated<br>Sealer/Divider (K070162). This conclusion is based upon the devices' similarities in functional design<br>(principles of operation), materials, indications for use and methods of construction. |
