Intended Use
The AP50/30 Insufflator is a CO2 insufflator intended for use during diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas. The Standard/High Flow, Pediatric operating modes of the device are indicated to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas during a laparoscopic procedure. The Pediatric operating mode is specifically indicated for pediatric laparoscopic procedures. The Vessel Harvesting mode is indicated for use during endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures to create a cavity along the saphenous vein or radial artery. The TAMIS operating mode is indicated to fill and distend the rectum and colon using CO2 gas during trans and minimal invasive surgery. The Insuflow® Port (5 mm, 8 mm, 10mm and 12mm) devices have applications in thoracic, abdominal and gynecologic minimally invasive endoscopic surgical procedures to establish a path of entry for endoscopic instruments and to heat, humidify, filter and introduce a CO2 gas stream for insufflation of the surgical cavity.
Device Description
The Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator is a microprocessor-controlled CO2 (carbon dioxide) insufflator with multiple operating modes. The insufflator instrumentation is intended for hospital use for Standard/High Flow, Pediatric, and Bariatric laparoscopic procedures used in conjunction with a laparoscope to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas; for trans anal minimal invasive surgery (TAMIS) to fill and distend the rectum and colon using CO2 gas; and for Vessel Harvesting procedures used to create a cavity along the saphenous vein and/or the radial artery during an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure. The device incorporates the following major components and features: a metal housing, a world power supply, pressure reducers, a venting system, a gas heater control and a touch screen user interface with various settings and display elements. The software operation includes system checks, user interface, setting adjustments, warning/error messages and service info. The device is equipped with a continuous pressure measurement mode that controls the conformity of the actual pressure in the peritoneal or extraperitoneal cavity with the pre-set nominal pressure. The AP50/30 Insufflator is designed with several alarms/warnings to inform the operator in case of an overpressure or other malfunctions. The device is to be used with specially designed singleuse tubing sets, the Insuflow® Port, in order to utilize the full capabilities of continuous pressure measurement and gas heating and humidification. (The insufflator can also accept other tubing sets for gas deliver only.) The Insuflow® Port (5, 8, 10, 12 mm) devices are gas conditioning/access port devices that attach to the outlet of the AP50/30 Insufflator and are designed to warm and humidify the CO2 gas stream prior to insufflation via an integral path of entry device during minimally invasive surgery. The Insuflow® Port consists of an ethylene oxide sterilized, disposable single use tubing set and a path of entry access port device which contains the pressure sensors, a filter, and gas heater/humidifier. The access port device materials are intended for patient contact of less than 24 hours. The Insuflow® Port is connected to the AP50/30 Insufflator via a plug connector cable, which controls the pressure sensing, gas heating and safety circuits for the system. Regulated CO2 gas from the AP50/30 Insufflator flows into the Insuflow® Port, through the in-line filter, continues along the tubing to enter the path of entry access device that contains the heating element and humidification media, and through the path of entry access device lumen for delivery into the patient's surgical cavity.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including a metal housing, power supply, pressure reducers, venting system, gas heater control, and a touch screen user interface. While it mentions software operation, it is integral to the function of the physical insufflator device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas." This involves direct interaction with the patient's body cavity during a procedure, not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that delivers CO2 gas into a body cavity and manages pressure. It does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analysis of biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detection or measurement of substances in biological samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on laboratory tests.

The device is a surgical insufflator used to create space within the body for endoscopic procedures. This falls under the category of surgical devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

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

A risk analysis and resulting performance testing were conducted to assure that the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator with the Insuflow® Port devices perform in accordance with specifications and applicable standards. The AP50/30 hardware remains unchanged from the predicate. The addition of the TAMIS mode was via software changes, therefore, the design verification testing focused on software verification and insufflator performance testing. Design verification testing of the AP50/30 Insufflator demonstrated that the proposed device performs as intended, and that the performance of the device is comparable to that of the predicates.

The software used in the AP50/30 Insufflator was determined to have a major level of concern, and was developed and successfully validated in accordance with the FDA guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices," issued May 11, 2005.

Comparative bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the performance of the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices. The comparative bench test included the following tests: set pressure, flow, compensation of small and large leakages, overpressure, and pressure measurement/control. The test results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed AP50/30 device related to TAMIS mode operation, including attaining the set pressure, flow, compensation of small and large leakages, pressure measurement/control and overpressure are comparable to the performance of the predicate PNEUMOCLEAR Insufflator. In addition, the necessary changes to the software for TAMIS mode have not affected the AP50/30 Insufflator performance specifications for previously cleared operating modes.

All other testing, including electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing per IEC 60601-1:2014 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014. that was successfully performed on the predicate K170799 AP50/30 Insufflator was leveraged to support the safety and effectiveness of the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator, as there were no associated changes in hardware with the addition of the TAMIS mode.

Harvesting procedures used to create a cavity along the saphenous vein and/or the radial artery during an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure.

The device incorporates the following major components and features: a metal housing, a world power supply, pressure reducers, a venting system, a gas heater control and a touch screen user interface with various settings and display elements. The software operation includes system checks, user interface, setting adjustments, warning/error messages and service info. The device is equipped with a continuous pressure measurement mode that controls the conformity of the actual pressure in the peritoneal or extraperitoneal cavity with the pre-set nominal pressure. The AP50/30 Insufflator is designed with several alarms/warnings to inform the operator in case of an overpressure or other malfunctions. The device is to be used with specially designed singleuse tubing sets, the Insuflow® Port, in order to utilize the full capabilities of continuous pressure measurement and gas heating and humidification. (The insufflator can also accept other tubing sets for gas deliver only.)

The Insuflow® Port (5, 8, 10, 12 mm) devices are gas conditioning/access port devices that attach to the outlet of the AP50/30 Insufflator and are designed to warm and humidify the CO2 gas stream prior to insufflation via an integral path of entry device during minimally invasive surgery. The Insuflow® Port consists of an ethylene oxide sterilized, disposable single use tubing set and a path of entry access port device which contains the pressure sensors, a filter, and gas heater/humidifier. The access port device materials are intended for patient contact of less than 24 hours. The Insuflow® Port is connected to the AP50/30 Insufflator via a plug connector cable, which controls the pressure sensing, gas heating and safety circuits for the system. Regulated CO2 gas from the AP50/30 Insufflator flows into the Insuflow® Port, through the in-line filter, continues along the tubing to enter the path of entry access device that contains the heating element and humidification media, and through the path of entry access device lumen for delivery into the patient's surgical cavity.

Indications for Use:

The AP50/30 Insufflator is a CO2 insufflator intended for use during diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas. The Standard/High Flow. Pediatric and Bariatric operating modes of the device are indicated to fill and distend a peritoneal cavity with gas during a laparoscopic procedure.

The Vessel Harvesting operating mode is indicated for use during endoscopic vessel harvesting procedures to create a cavity along the saphenous vein or radial artery. The TAMIS operating mode is indicated to fill and distend the rectum and colon using CO2 gas during trans anal minimal invasive surgery.

The Insuflow® Port (5 mm, 8 mm, 10mm and 12mm) devices have applications in thoracic, abdominal and gynecologic minimally invasive endoscopic surgical procedures to establish a path of entry for endoscopic instruments and to heat, humidify, filter and introduce a CO2 gas stream for insufflation of the surgical cavity.

Technological characteristics, comparison to predicate devices.

AP50/30

5

The proposed Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator is similar to the predicate devices in that they are all CO2 insufflators intended for use during diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas. The proposed Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator is similar in technology to the primary predicate, the previously cleared Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator (K170799), in terms of operating mode, design, basic features, and custom tubing sets. The only change is the addition of the TAMIS mode of operation. As a result, the indications for use and the software design have been modified to incorporate the TAMIS mode. Concerning the TAMIS mode, the proposed Lexion AP50/30 Insufflator has the same indications for use as the secondary predicate, the PNEUMOCLEAR Insufflator (K170784), which is also indicated to fill and distend the rectum and colon using CO2 gas during trans rectal minimally invasive surgery.

The following table compares the key performance specifications for the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator and the current AP50/30 Insufflator, demonstrating that the only change from the primary predicate is the addition of the TAMIS mode with appropriate specs.

Overall, the differences in technological characteristics between the subject device and the primary and secondary predicate devices do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.

Insuflow® Port

There are no changes in the Insuflow® Port (5 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm, and 12 mm) devices as compared to the predicate K170799.

Discussion of performance testing.

A risk analysis and resulting performance testing were conducted to assure that the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator with the Insuflow® Port devices perform in accordance with specifications and applicable standards. The AP50/30 hardware remains unchanged from the predicate. The addition of the TAMIS mode was via software changes, therefore, the design verification testing focused on software verification and insufflator performance testing. Design verification testing of the AP50/30 Insufflator demonstrated that the proposed device performs as intended, and that the performance of the device is comparable to that of the predicates.

The software used in the AP50/30 Insufflator was determined to have a major level of concern, and was developed and successfully validated in accordance with the FDA guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices," issued May 11, 2005.

Comparative bench testing was performed to demonstrate that the performance of the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate devices. The comparative bench test included the following tests: set pressure, flow, compensation of small and large leakages, overpressure, and pressure measurement/control. The test results demonstrate that the performance of the proposed AP50/30 device related to TAMIS mode operation, including attaining the set pressure, flow, compensation of small and large leakages, pressure measurement/control and overpressure are comparable to the performance of the predicate PNEUMOCLEAR Insufflator. In addition, the necessary changes to the software for TAMIS mode have not affected the AP50/30 Insufflator performance specifications for previously cleared operating modes.

All other testing, including electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing per IEC 60601-1:2014 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014. that was successfully performed on the predicate K170799 AP50/30 Insufflator was leveraged to support the safety and effectiveness of the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator, as there were no associated changes in hardware with the addition of the TAMIS mode.

Conclusion:

The proposed AP50/30 Insufflator device has the same intended use as the cleared insufflator predicates. As identified above, the technological specifications are similar between the proposed device and predicate devices, and the differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance testing conducted on the proposed device demonstrates that the subject device is as safe and effective as the predicates. Therefore, the proposed AP50/30 Insufflator with Insuflow® Port is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
