Device Description

The ASC TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device is a laparoscopic multi-instrument port which performs the following two functions:

  • t It retracts a small abdominal incision to allow multiple laparoscopic instruments to pass through to the abdomen at the same time during laparoscopic surgery
  • . It ensures that pneumoperitoneum is maintained in the abdomen during the surgical procedure, whether or not one or more laparoscopic instruments are passing through the TriPort
    The ASC TriPort Lapolroscopic Access Device is sterile and disposable. The proposed ASC TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device performs the same function as other legally marketed port systems and standard trocars.

Like the parent ASC R-Port II Laparoscopic Access Device, the proposed ASC TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device is comprised of the following three components:

  • an introducer component which creates an abdominal incision (except in the . case where the surgeon creates a Hasson cut-down incision) and delivers the Distal Ring of the ASC TriPort into the abdominal cavity
  • a retractor component which retracts an abdominal incision to allow the . passage of laparoscopic instruments
  • . a valve component which maintains the pneumoperitoneum established for the surgical procedure

The ASC TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device is intended for use as a multiple instrument and/or camera port during minimally invasive abdominal laparoscopic surgery. The ASC TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device is identical in function to the ASC R-Port II Laparoscopic Access Device, which has been cleared for marketing under K073170.

The modifications made to the R-Port II to produce the Tri-Port Laparoscopic Access device were made to improve the performance and ergonomics of the system and are summarized as follows:

  • . The outer diameter of the distal ring of the ASC TriPort has been increased by 10.08 mm to allow it to be used in slightly larger incisions. A slightly larger incision improves access for multiple instruments and makes it easier for the surgeon to remove larger specimens. As a consequence of this change, the length of the Injector Plunger component of the Introducer was reduced by 18 mm thereby creating a larger area into which the larger TriPort distal ring can fit comfortably.
  • . In order to remove specimens that do not fit through the R-port II gel valve, it is necessary to remove the entire device from the incision and remove specimens through the incision. The TriPort has been modified to include a removable valve section that when removed, allows specimens to pass through the incision. This design maintains wound protection because the part of the device containing the sleeve material is still in place, while not having to remove the entire device to allow specimen removal. After specimen removal, the removable part (valve) may be conveniently re-attached and the abdomen re-insufflated. In order to secure the removable valve section during surgery, a two-part Securing Clip, comprised of two identical self-mating halfrings, is clamped around the Outer Proximal Ring and the Boot to prevent them from separating. In order to remove the valve section, the Securing Clip must first be detached from the device by pulling the two halves apart. After specimen removal, the valve sections are reattached and the two halves of the Securing Clip are snapped back together.
  • . The Tri-Port has been modified to include three smaller separate valves which accommodate one instrument insertion per valve. Therefore, each valve allows insertion of one instrument each which can be manipulated independently without affecting the seal around the other instruments. This design feature of the TriPort minimizes gas loss and reduces friction between instruments. The parent R-port II allows insertion of multiple instruments but because all are inserted through the same gel valve, gas loss can occur depending on the extent of movement of the instruments. As a result of the change to the gel valves, the TriPort includes a straight piece of flexible tubing for insufflation.
  • . The TriPort gel housing (the "boot") is molded from Santoprene thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) which allows for a wider range of movement of inserted instruments because Santoprene TPE is more flexible than the Tecoflex polyurethane material used in the parent R-Port II device.

The changes made to the parent R-Port II Laparoscopic Access Device to produce the TriPort are minor and do not represent modifications to the indications for use, operating principles, or mechanism of action for the device. Therefore, the 510(k) Premarket Notification for the proposed TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device is appropriate for review as a Special 510(k).

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6.

The ASC TriPort Laparoscopic Access Device provides an access path for laparoscopic instruments through a small incision in the abdominal wall. Its function is identical to that of the parent ASC R-Port II Laparoscopic Access Device (K073170), the ASC R-Port (K070158). Its function is also similar to predicate trocars.

To deploy a trocar, the surgeon first creates a skin incision at the desired location on the patient's abdomen. The trocar then creates a path through to the abdominal cavity using its bladeless dissecting-tipped component which is rotated back and forth as it is advanced through the tissue layers by the surgeon. Once it has penetrated through to the abdominal cavity, the bladeless dissecting-tipped component is removed, leaving the rigid cannula within the incision. A single laparoscopic instrument, or camera, can now be passed through the cannula to gain access to the abdominal cavity for a surgical procedure. There is a valve system on the trocar to maintain pneumoperitoneum, whether an instrument is present within the trocar or not. Most laparoscopic procedures require a laparoscope and one or more instruments to be located within the abdominal cavity. Each trocar can only accommodate a single camera or instrument, therefore three or more trocars are usually needed for laparoscopic surgery, each within its own incision.

Both the proposed ASC TriPort and the parent ASC R-Port II Laparoscopic Access Devices are laparoscopic instrument access ports that are used to perform the same function as a trocar. The ASC TriPort both retracts a small abdominal incision to allow laparoscopic instruments to pass through to the abdomen, and maintains pneumoperitoneum in the abdomen during the surgical procedure. whether or not laparoscopic instruments are passing through the port.

Both the proposed ASC TriPort and the predicate ASC R-Port II Laparoscopic Access Device, allow for the simultaneous introduction of up to 3 laparoscopic instruments through a single incision.

Like the predicate devices, the ASC TriPort is a sterile, single-use (disposable) device. The use of the ASC TriPort and the predicates are identical in that they the passage of laparoscopic instrumentation while maintaining facilitate pneumoperitoneum. The insertion of the ASC TriPort and the predicate R-Port II are identical and are made consistently and safely during laparoscopic surgery.
