Intended Use
The TroClose1200™ bladeless trocar is intended for use in a variety of gynecologic, general and urologic endoscopic procedures to create and maintain a port of entry and to facilitate the delivery of absorbable sutures and anchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/ laparoscopic surgery. The trocar may be used with or without visualization for primary and secondary insertions.
Device Description
The TroClose1200™ is a Trocar system comprised of an Obturator and a Cannula including preloaded sutures. It includes a bladeless Obturator, designed to allow penetration and positioning at the required site within the abdomen, and several single use Cannulas, which serve as working channels for the procedure. The Cannulas are pre-loaded with two absorbable PGLA sutures, each attached to an absorbable PLGA anchor. The deployment of the anchors and sutures ("closure device) is achieved by utilizing two pushers within the Obturator as a deployment mechanism. The TroClose1200™, as one unit, consists of the following components: - . An Obturator, which is the part of a trocar that allows the insertion of the trocar (after routine scalpel-made incision). An Obturator is for single patient use. For this purpose, the Company's Obturator is bladeless, similar to the predicate Obturator. In addition, the Company's Obturator has a set of 2 pushers that deploy (the closure device's deployment mechanism) the anchors with sutures attached from the Cannula for later closure. - A Cannula, which is the part of a trocar that establishes the working channel through which the surgeon introduces surgical tools while keeping the CO2 in the abdominal lumen. The Cannula is for single use and is similar to the predicate trocar Cannula. In addition, the Company's Cannula has 2 absorbable anchors attached to absorbable threads, at 180° to each other, as the closure device, which is similar to the predicate closure device. The thread (suture) is made of absorbable PGLA and the anchors are made of absorbable PLGA and is designed to close the access port by suturing the abdominal wall's fascia. GORDIAN 's TroClose1200™ is manufactured from routinely used medical device biocompatible materials. Like its' predicates, this disposable device is provided sterile (by EtO) and intended for single patient (Obturator) and single use (Cannula) only.

The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of a surgical trocar and closure device, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device creates and maintains a port of entry and facilitates the delivery of absorbable sutures and anchors during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

The device is a surgical tool designed to create and maintain a port of entry to facilitate the delivery of absorbable sutures and anchors. It does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (Obturator, Cannula, sutures, anchors, pushers) made of biocompatible materials, intended for physical insertion and manipulation during surgery. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

Based on the provided information, the TroClose1200™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for creating and maintaining a port of entry and facilitating the delivery of sutures and anchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery. This describes a surgical tool used in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The description details a trocar system with an obturator and cannula, designed for surgical procedures. It mentions components like sutures and anchors for closing the surgical port. These are all components of a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is purely procedural and mechanical within the body.

Therefore, the TroClose1200™ is a surgical device, specifically a trocar system with an integrated closure mechanism, and does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The TroClose1200™ is a Trocar system comprised of an Obturator and a Cannula including preloaded sutures. It includes a bladeless Obturator, designed to allow penetration and positioning at the required site within the abdomen, and several single use Cannulas, which serve as working channels for the procedure. The Cannulas are pre-loaded with two absorbable PGLA sutures, each attached to an absorbable PLGA anchor. The deployment of the anchors and sutures ("closure device) is achieved by utilizing two pushers within the Obturator as a deployment mechanism.

The TroClose1200™, as one unit, consists of the following components:

  • . An Obturator, which is the part of a trocar that allows the insertion of the trocar (after routine scalpel-made incision). An Obturator is for single patient use. For this purpose, the Company's Obturator is bladeless, similar to the predicate Obturator. In addition, the Company's Obturator has a set of 2 pushers that deploy (the closure device's deployment mechanism) the anchors with sutures attached from the Cannula for later closure.
  • A Cannula, which is the part of a trocar that establishes the working channel through which the surgeon introduces surgical tools while keeping the CO2 in the abdominal lumen. The Cannula is for single use and is similar to the predicate trocar Cannula. In addition, the Company's Cannula has 2 absorbable anchors attached to absorbable threads, at 180° to each other, as the closure device, which is similar to the predicate closure device. The thread (suture) is made of absorbable PGLA and the anchors are made of absorbable PLGA and is designed to close the access port by suturing the abdominal wall's fascia.

GORDIAN 's TroClose1200™ is manufactured from routinely used medical device biocompatible materials.

Like its' predicates, this disposable device is provided sterile (by EtO) and intended for single patient (Obturator) and single use (Cannula) only.

Technological Characteristics/ Principals of Operation

Gordian's Single Patient Use / Single Use TroClose1200™ has similar technological characteristics, and use the same principles of operation as the predicates. The only technological differences between the TroClose1200™ and its predicates are: (1) the Trocar predicate has a marketing feature for optics (2) the trocar predicate has a greater variety of sizes, (3) the closure device predicate's anchor is narrower and longer than the TroClose1200™ anchor and has a slightly different configuration design (4) the deployment timing of the anchors in the TroClose1200™ is at the beginning of the laparoscopic procedure as the TroClose1200™ has both the closure device and trocar in the same device while the predicate closure device deployment is at the end of the procedure, (5) the TroClose1200™ operation has two additional

5

steps consisting of pulling and pushing an applicator for coking and deployment of the anchors and sutures, (6) the trocar predicate device has an additional indication of "thoracic", and (7) the TroClose1200™ uses more common PGLA sutures presenting knot-pull tensile strength with a minimum and average of 38.2N, while the neoClose® uses PGA sutures presenting knot-pull tensile strength with a minimum and average of 26.3N.

Performance Data

As for the predicate devices, both under 21 CFR 876.1500 and product code GCJ, no applicable performance standards have been promulgated under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for the device and similar devices regulated under this regulatory number and product code.

For the TroClose1200™ regulation and product code (21 CFR878.4493 and product code GAM) performance tests were done also according to SUTURE and included mechanical tests and degradation testing according to ASTM F1635-11, knot-pull tensile strength (per absorbable sutures USP monograph instructions), needle attachment strength (per absorbable sutures USP monograph instructions), biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993, sterilization according to ISO 11135, and a GLP animal studies. These tests demonstrated that the TroClose1200™ is substantially equivalent to its predicates, by successfully achieving its intended use, which is the same as the predicates.

Performance testing demonstrated that the functionality of the combined device to act as trocar and closure device is comparable to the two functions provided by separate devices.

Substantial Equivalence

Gordian's TroClose1200™ has the same intended use with minor modifications (excluding thoracic use) and similar technological characteristics as its predicate devices. Both the TroClose1200™ and the predicate Obturators are bladeless and provide an airtight cannula as a working channel. They are made of similar commonly used materials. Both the TroClose1200™ and predicate closure devices use anchors with sutures, and are made from similar bioabsorbable materials.

The TroClose1200™ principles of operation are the same as other trocars for the trocar function, and the same principle of operation as other cleared devices for the closure device function. The trocar has similar sizes and dimensions as other trocars, and uses the same approach to establish the port of entry. The closure device uses the same principle of operation as the predicate device, deploying anchors with attached sutures into the port of entry, on both sides of the cannula.

Performance testing confirms that the minor differences in technological features compared to the predicates do not adversely impact performance. Thus, the TroClose1200™ is substantially equivalence to the predicates.

These minor differences do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness as confirmed by the company's bench testing and the GLP acute and sub-chronic animal testing and usability testing. Thus, the TroClose1200™ is substantially equivalent to neoClose closure device by NeoSurgical Ltd., K123280 and to the Versaport™ V2 Bladeless Trocar by Covidien, K130435.
