Intended Use
The InsufflatOR Needle™ is intended for percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation with carbon dioxide, to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to the placement of trocars during laparoscopic procedures.
Device Description
The Gynetech InsufflatOR Needle is a sterile disposable Veress needle which is available in 120mm or 150mm length. The device is equipped with a spring-loaded, round-tipped obturator. In addition, there is a "slide switch" which permits easy ON-OFF control of gas flow. The most proximal end contains a male luer lock connector for connection to a CO2 gas line. The InsufflatOR Needle has applications in gynaecological laparoscopy and other laparoscopic procedures.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and sterilization properties, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.

The device is used to insufflate the peritoneal cavity with carbon dioxide to establish pneumoperitoneum, which is an preparatory step for surgical procedures, not a therapeutic intervention itself.

No

The device is used for insufflation with carbon dioxide to establish pneumoperitoneum, which is a preparatory step for surgical procedures, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile disposable Veress needle with physical components like a spring-loaded obturator and a slide switch for gas flow control. The performance studies also focus on physical characteristics and sterilization, not software validation.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation with carbon dioxide, to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to the placement of trocars during laparoscopic procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic).
  • Device Description: The description details a needle used for gas delivery into the body, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing blood, urine, tissue, or any other biological sample. There are no references to assays, reagents, or diagnostic measurements.

Therefore, the InsufflatOR Needle is a surgical instrument used for a procedural purpose, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The contract manufacturer, Advanced Medical, LLC, manufactures the InsufflatOR Needle to the same exact specifications as the predicate device by GeniCon. This includes specifications for:

  • . Tip pull test
  • . Switch operation test
  • Spring obturator test
  • Needle puncture force test

To evaluate the change in sterilization method, the following tests were conducted on the InsufflatOR Needle:

  • EtO Sterilization Validation in accordance with ISO 11135-1:2007 Sterilisation of Healthcare Products Ethylene Oxide ●
  • Ethylene Oxide Sterilisation Residuals, ISO 10993-7:2008 Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices .
  • . Packaging integrity and device functional performance testing following accelerated aging.

All testing undertaken to demonstrate substantial equivalence of the requirements of its predeternined acceptance criteria and intended use. The acceptance criteria and intended use of the Gynetech Insufflat to the predicate device. These test results confirm that the Gynetech InsufflatOR Needle is as safe and effective as the predicate device.

Dear Kevin MacDonald,

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
