REVIEW OF PERFORMANCE DATA

Trocar Reliability and Insertion Performance

It is essential that laparoscopic trocars are sharp, are capable of ease of insertion into the abdominal wall, and are reliable if they contain moving parts. Furthermore, Surgical Innovations has undertaken a range of bench tests to determine the insertion performance and reliability of the YelloPort trocars. No known standards are available but a methodical approach has been undertaken based on extensive experience and advice from industry experts and clinicians. Many tests have been undertaken and a full list of all tests conducted has been attached. Nonetheless, tests worthy of particular note are detailed in TN100097, TN100144, TN100199 and TN100200.

Sealing Performance

It is essential that cannulae maintain pneumoperitoneum both when instruments are inserted in the cannula and when no instruments are inserted. Therefore, it is important to test both seal and valve performance at ranges from 0mmHg to a maximum of 24mmHg.

A substantial amount of test work has been undertaken and a full list of all tests conducted has been attached. Nonetheless, tests worthy of particular note are detailed in TN100131, TN100155, and TN100156.

Conclusion

It can be concluded from the above bench testing that the product performs well and is fit for purpose.
