Phasor GREEN Drill is a re-sterilizable drill driver (for use on one ore more patients, up to 10 total holes), with separately packaged single-use sterilized drill bit assembly -- for use on adult patients during neurosurgical procedures for drilling of cranial bone.
The Phasor™ GREEN Drill is composed of 2 items: (1) a re-sterilizable, non-rechargeable battery-operated Phasor Green Driver (made of plastic housing, capable of drilling up to 10 total holes in one or more patients) in conjunction with (2) a separately packaged, single-use Phasor Green Drill Bit Assembly comprised of a steel bit (of 6.35-mm or less), plastic adapter, and polybag secured using latex-free bands. The device is for drilling cranial or orthopedic bone, by prescription only and used by qualified users, with (1) Drill Driver (provided non-sterile) for sterilization using vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP)prior to use at user facility and (2) Drill Bit Assembly provided gamma-sterilized for single-use respectively.

Dear Ray King:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

F. Summary of Supporting Data
Phasor GREEN™ has the same intended use (while being multi-use vs. single-use), material composition, manufacturing process, manufacturer, patient population, classification, and initial packaging as the predicate. Moreover, it has the same sterilization method as the reference device. Phasor Drill had already been utilized as a "quick-connect" per justification based upon documentation, compatible with bits of the same range. Otherwise, the subject and predicate devices are based upon the following technological elements, when the predicate and reference device are taken together:
- Drilling function into cranial bone in the same manner, with same drill bit diameter size ranges as supported for the predicate device;
- Both the GREEN DRILL BIT DRIVER and predicate Phasor Drill are sterilized in the same manner (gamma sterilization);
- Both the GREEN DRILL BIT DRIVER and predicate Phasor Drill are intended for single-use, and are disposable after the single use.
The following technical characteristics of the subject device differ from the predicate device:
- Phasor GREEN DRIVER is a multi-use (<= 10 uses), compared to the single-use Phasor Drill;
- Phasor GREEN DRIVER is vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) sterilized vs. Gamma sterilized for the Phasor Drill.
The proposed device does not differ from the predicate and reference device taken together in any manner which would negatively impact the safety or effectiveness of the device.
G. Discussion of Performance Testing
Page 8
K252060, Page 4 of 4
Post-respective sterilization using VHP and gamma for the GREEN Driver and Drill Bit Assembly, respectively, performance testing of 10 holes with each Driver and bit were accomplished within the time period needed, similar to the predicate Phasor Drill.
H. Conclusion
The performance and design validation testing conducted on Phasor GREEN™ device on the bench demonstrated that it performs comparably to the stated predicate and reference device that are currently marketed individually for the similar intended use. The proposed device, comprised of the elements noted above, demonstrates that it should perform as safely and as effectively as the predicate device.
