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 pre-loaded 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 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 sutures, at 180º to each other, as the closure device, which is similar to the predicate closure device. The suture (thread) is made of absorbable PLGA and the anchors are made of absorbable PLGA and are 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 device is provided sterile (by EtO) and intended for single patient (Obturator) and single use (Cannula) only.

The Single Patient Use / Single Use Gordian's TroClose1200™ has identical technological characteristics to its predicate device. The Obturator component of the Trocar is bladeless, having an airtight Cannula as a working channel, and is made of similar materials as the Trocar Predicate. The Closure Device component (place within the Cannula) uses identical anchors with identical sutures as the predicate.

The TroClose1200™ principles of operation remain identical, and the identical principles of operation for the closure device function.

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 modifications made to the TroClose1200™, tests included mechanical tests (per absorbable sutures USP monograph instructions), needle attachment strength (per absorbable sutures USP monograph instructions), biocompatibility assessment according to ISO 10993-1, and sterilization validation per ISO 11135. These tests demonstrated that the TroClose1200™ is substantially equivalent to its predicates, by successfully achieving its intended use, which is the identical to the predicate.

For modifications made to the TroClose1200™, biocompatibility and performance testing for the suture were leveraged from previous clearances (K171494, K160564).

The performance testing demonstrated that the functionality of the modified device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Conclusions

Gordian's modified TroClose1200™ has identical intended use and identical technological characteristics as its

Page 10

predicate device. They are made of similar commonly used (biocompatible) materials. Both TroClose1200™ use anchors with sutures, which remain identical.

The TroClose1200™ principles of operation remain identical.

Performance testing confirms that the minor changes, including manufacturing site, sterilization site and geometrical / design configuration, compared to the predicates do not impact performance. Thus, the TroClose1200™ is substantially equivalence to the predicates.

These differences do not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness as confirmed by the company's bench testing. Thus, the modified TroClose1200™ is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared TroClose1200™ (K171494, K160564).
