Intended Use
The Disposable Circular Stapler has application throughout the alimentary tract for end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses.
Device Description
The Disposable Circular Staplers, can anastomose organs by firing into the tissues of alimentary canal two staggered (interior and exterior) rings of titanium staples and cutting off inside tissue with the circular blades simultaneously. The disposable circular stapler is preloaded with two staggered rows of titanium staples in both inner and outer circles. The instrument is activated by squeezing the handles firmly as far as they will go. Immediately after staple formation, the knife blade resects the excess tissue, creating a circular anastomosis.
More Information

Not Found

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

No
The device aids in surgical procedures (anastomoses) by cutting and stapling tissue, which is a structural intervention, not a therapeutic treatment.

No

Explanation: The device description clearly states its function is to anastomose organs by firing staples and cutting tissue, which are surgical, not diagnostic, procedures. Its intended use is for "end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses" in the alimentary tract, further confirming its therapeutic, not diagnostic, purpose.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, mechanical stapler with titanium staples and circular blades, which is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for creating anastomoses (surgical connections) within the alimentary tract. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical stapler that physically cuts and staples tissue. It does not involve the examination of samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to diagnose a condition or monitor a patient's health status.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical instrument used for treatment.

Classification of the device: Class II Panel: General and Plastic Surgery Product code: GDW, 21CFR878.4750

Description:

General

The Disposable Circular Staplers, can anastomose organs by firing into the tissues of alimentary canal two staggered (interior and exterior) rings of titanium staples and cutting off inside tissue with the circular blades simultaneously. The disposable circular stapler is preloaded with two staggered rows of titanium staples in both inner and outer circles. The instrument is activated by squeezing the handles firmly as far as they will go. Immediately after staple formation, the knife blade resects the excess tissue, creating a circular anastomosis.

Indications For Use

Disposable Circular Stapler:

The Disposable Circular Stapler has application throughout the alimentary tract for endto-end, end-to-side and side-to-side anastomoses.

Technical Characteristics:

The Disposable Circular stapler has not changed in basic design. The only difference in the current submitted device is there are new models, using different staple sizes. The KYGWG stapler has a new adjusting nut shape, which does not affect performance. Testing of the staples during insertion and extraction showed that there are no appreciable differences in the energy needed to insert or extract the staples.

Performance Test Summary:

The implanted staple is the same material as the predicate device and meets the Standard for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications.

There is no FDA recognized performance standard for implanted staple and stabler. Therefore, the same testing submitted for the predicate was repeated. The testing was as follows:

    1. Visual appearance
    1. Dimensions
    1. Sharpness
    1. Operational Performance
    1. Cutting Performance
    1. Staple formation and closed staple height
    1. Pressure resistance
    1. Corrosion resistance
    1. Packaging performance
    1. Hardness
  • 11.Firing Force
    1. Energy Testing
    1. Sterility

Biocompatibility testing was performed to ensure the stapler was

constructed of material which passes the Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, parts 1,3,5,6, 10 and 11.

The modifications to the devices have not affected the sterility process, materials or packaging. For verifications, packaging and sterility verfication was completed per USP standards.

Conclusions:

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification Changzhou Kangdi Medical Stapler Co.,Ltd. concludes that Disposable Circular Stapler, Models KYGWA/KYGWB/KYGWC are substantially equivalent to predicate devices as described herein.
