No
This device is for the retrieval of tissue specimens, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a specimen retrieval bag system used to "encapture and removal of tissue specimens, organs and calculi during laparoscopic surgical procedures." Its function is to facilitate the physical removal of material from the body, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description clearly details physical components like bags, introducer tubes, rods, handles, rings, and sutures, indicating it is a hardware medical device. There is no mention of software as a component or function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "safe encapture and removal of tissue specimens, organs and calculi during laparoscopic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical tool used during a procedure to handle specimens, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition based on analyzing a specimen.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components and how the bag is deployed and used within the body cavity during surgery. It focuses on the mechanical function of retrieving specimens.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze or test the retrieved specimens for diagnostic purposes. The purpose is solely retrieval.
- No Mention of In Vitro Analysis: The text does not describe any process of analyzing the specimen in vitro using this device.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is entirely within the surgical procedure itself.

Device Description
The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags are comprised of an introducer tube with a blunt tip, flexible fiber reinforced plastic bag with a large, easily accessible opening. With the blunt tip the instruments can be introduced percutaneously to the intended surgical site directly through an opening in the abdomen or through a conduit cannula/trocar for sizes under 16 mm, after which the working portion of the instrument can be deployed. The deployment systems consists of either a push/pull rod with thumb ring (similar to a syringe), finger ring handle, or a back handle and a push button with an internal push rod, all instruments have a blunt tip nose used for direct insertion into the abdomen. In the fully deployed condition, the bag opening is maintained in an open position by metallic rings. A suture with a slipknot and perforations of the bag under where the bag is attached to the rings facilitates closure of the specimen bag after the specimen has been collected into the bag, the suture or purse string is connected to an external part (string ring).. The specimen bag has a series of perforations around the perimeter so when the purse string suture is pulled and the bag starts to cinch and separates from the metallic rings, this is accomplished by pulling the external string ring.
The larger sized Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags, 16mm and 20mm come with a side access tube which allows for additional access into the bag without compromising the integrity of the bag opening to visualize the specimen inside the bag. This is accomplished by using a 5 mm or less sized instruments and scopes to be introduced directly into the bag for additional visualization and manipulation where required.

Technological Characteristics:
Beacon Surgical. Inc. believes that the subject device is substantially equivalent to other devices that have previously received FDA 510(k) clearance including the predicate devices.
Predicate Device:
The following devices have been identified as predicate devices:
Predicate Device Comparison:
The Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag's are, in principal and function, identical to existing technologies. A variety of specimen retrieval bags are already widely manufactured and used in surgical procedures which share many similarities to the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bag. The predicate device's bags are of the same materials and processes and produced by the same manufacturer which has approval under 510(k) (K111845) for Espiner and (K982073) for Anchor. Espiner is the original manufacturer of the bag family which will be the bag for the Beacon bag specimen retrieval system.
Discussion on Comparison:
The main difference between the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags is that the Espiner Medical, K111845 and the Anchor Products K982073 are designed for introduction and use through appropriately sized trocars/cannulas. Whereas the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval system can be used without the need for an insertion conduit or cannula, as the product comes with a blunt tip for entering into the body cavity through an entrance wound. The larger sized units have an additional access tube similar to the Espiner larger bag which allows for additional instruments or laparoscope to be used. All three units share the identical bag material and manufacturing processes. The other differences are the deployment system where the Espiner bag has to be loaded into a unit to be deployed, the Beacon Specimen Bag system houses the bag assembly internally and will deploy similar to present systems currently on the market and release from the rings when the bag is cinched through the perforations around the ring channel. The main difference between the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval Bags is that the Espiner Medical, K111845, and the Anchor Products K982073 are designed for introduction and use through appropriately sized trocars/cannulas. Whereas the Beacon Bag Specimen Retrieval system can be used without the need for an insertion conduit or cannula, as the product comes with a blunt tip for entering into the body cavity through an entrance wound. The larger sized units have an additional access tube similar to the Espiner larger bag for additional access by another instrument or laparoscope into the bag. All three units utilize the exact same material in the bags, and the method of construction of the Beacon bags, Esacs and the E-sleeves are identical. The differences between the Beacon Bags and the Espiner bags Standard, Super, Master and Eco are only in the methods of deployment, and release from the instrument. The other differences are the deployment system where the Espiner bag has to be loaded into a unit to be deployed, the Beacon Specimen Bag system houses the bag assembly internally and will deploy similar to present systems currently on the market. The beacon bags are all attached to a ring and are inside a tube that when
6
deployed will unfurl. Once unfurled the bags can be cinched and have perforations around the bag so that when the bag is cinched closed the perforations allow the bag to separate from the rings internally.
