Device Description

The Disposable Trocars includes Normal trocars (model A), Balloon trocars (model B), Thread trocars (model C) and Single-port trocars (Model E). They are generally composed of cannula and obturator, with or without filter/cleaning ring/protector.

The Disposable Trocars have application in a variety of endoscopic procedures to provide a port of entry for endoscopic instruments and/or endoscope. If needed, the CO2 can be infused through the valve. The product is sterilized by Ethylene oxide and is a single-use product.

Normal trocars have 3 different cannulas (normal cannula, normal cannula with filter, normal cannula with cleaning ring) and 5 different obturators (Ingot-type, Optical obturator A. Optical obturator B. Auto-shielded obturator, Blunt obturator). Normal cannula consists of Cannula Body, Cannula Tube Seat, Choke Valve, Sheath Cap and Stopcock. It may be equipped with a filter or cleaning ring as an accessory. Cleaning ring is equipped inside the cannula and used for removing blood and foreign matter from the laparoscope. Filter is detachable, installed in stopcock, and used for filtering out any foreign matter that spills out of the body during surgery. Stopcock can be used for insufflation if needed. Ingot-type obturator is easy to insertion which consists of Needle Tip, Needle Tube and Needle Seat. Optical obturator A has a transparent needle tip while Optical obturator B has a transparent needle tip and needle tube. Needle tube of these two optical obturators is hollow which allows laparoscope go inside to see if it has passed the abdominal wall. Auto-shielded obturator has a hided blade which only showing up in puncturing process. Blunt obturator has a blunt needle tip which can protect internal organ during the procedure. Normal trocars are available from 3-15mm of diameter and 65-160mm of length.

Balloon Trocars are equipped an inflatable balloon with a fixed (Balloon cannula A) or movable holder (Balloon cannula B) to provide stabilization during a laparoscopic procedure. The Cannula consists of Balloon, Cannula body, Holder A, One-way vale, Cannula Tube Seat, Stopcock, Sheath Cap and Choke Valve. Stopcock can be used for insufflation if needed. Movable holder can be slid down to adjust its height at a desired position for stabilization. There are five different obturators as same as normal trocars: lngot-type, Optical obturator A, Optical obturator B, Auto-shielded obturator, Blunt obturator. Balloon Trocars are available in from 3-15mm of diameter and 55-140mm of length.

Thread trocars consists of a thread obturator and a Thread cannula A (thoracic trocars) or B (Orthopedics trocars). Threaded cannula enhances stability when exchanging instruments. Thread cannula B consists of Cannula body, Cannula Tube Seat, Stopcock, Sheath Cap and Choke Valve while Thread cannula A does not have a stopcock. Stopcock can be used for insufflation if needed. Thoracic trocars are available in from 5-20mm of diameter and 65-85mm of length. Orthopedics trocars are designed for Orthopedics laparoscopic surgery and available in from 5-20mm of diameter and 65-120mm of length.

Single-port Trocars are designed to provide access for multiple instruments and/or endoscope to the abdominal cavity through a single incision during minimally invasive endoscopic surgery. It consists of cannula, universal seal system, a variable height protector or fixed height protector, with or without obturator. Single port cannula A and B use same materials and only different in shapes. Universal seal system A supports the free combination and arrangement of trocar with different numbers and sizes to meet different surgical needs. Obturator is used with Single port cannula A. Universal seal system B is fully transparent and visible for surgical operation. Besides, soft material makes it good for handling the endoscopic instruments and reducing surgical compression congestion to the patient skin. Universal seal system C has a larger handling space than system B. Protector, which has fixed height or variable height, is used for protect surgical incision.

Due to the different structure and function, diameter, length of the Cannula and Obturator, and package amount, there are many combinations for final product.

Discussion:

Comment 1

The subject device and the predicate device have intended use, to applicate in a variety of endoscopic procedures to provide a port of entry for endoscopic instruments. The obturator and cannula have miner difference on needle tip and cannula accessories (e.g. cleaning, filter), while these differences have been validated by performance test and do not influence use. This difference does not affect the clinical safety of the subject device.

Comment 2

The Disposable Trocars are available in a range of Length is only to allow entry of other endoscopic instruments and does not have any effect on device performance. Additionally, length information is printed on the Obturator. Choice of Trocar specification depends on user's preference and clinical need. The differences on length do not raise new and effectiveness.

Conclusion:

The Disposable Trocars (Model A/B/C) have the same intended use, technology, design and performance specifications are either identical or substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed predicate devices. The differences between the subject device and predicate devices do not alter suitability of the proposed device for its intended use.

Comment 1

The subject device and the predicate devices are endoscopic instrument access ports that are used to perform the same function as a trocar. They are all retracts a small abdominal incision to allow endoscopic instruments to pass through to abdomen, and maintains pneumoperitoneum in the abdomen during the surgical procedure, whether or not endoscopic instruments are passing through the port. The difference in models, port number and size will not influence their intended use. Besides, surgeons will select port number and size based on actual needs during procedure. Furthermore, these differences have been addressed by performance test and do not affect the basic design principle, usage, effectiveness and safety of the subject device. And no question is raised regarding to effectiveness and safety.

Comment 2

The materials of the subject device and the predicate devices are partially different. However, the materials have been tested according to ISO 10993 series standards and performance test. The results showed they're biocompatible with human body and no impact of air leakage, connection firmness, Cannula stabilization and other functions. This difference does not affect the effectiveness and safety.

Comment 3

The sterilization method of the subject device and the predicate devices are partially different. However, the subject device was ensured sterility by sterilization validation. Therefore, the differences on sterilization do not raise new questions about safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion:

The Disposable Trocars (Model E) have the same intended use, technology, design and performance specifications are either identical or substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed predicate devices. The differences between the subject device and predicate devices do not alter suitability of the proposed device for its intended use.

Comparison Summary:

The subject and predicate devices have the same intended use and application. The subject and predicate device designs are similar. They are single-use devices. The differences in technological characteristics between the subject and predicate devices (i.e., needle tip, different size, port number) do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness.
