No
The device description clearly details hardware components such as a pumping chamber/tubing set, an irrigation pump controller, an impeller pump, and a reusable main controller, indicating it is a physical medical device system, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide controlled irrigation during laparoscopic procedures to flush blood and tissue debris, aid visualization, and for procedures like hydrodissection and peritoneal lavage. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body during surgery.
- Device Description: The device is described as a system with a pump, tubing, and controller that delivers fluid to the operative site. This is a surgical irrigation system.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. This device is used inside the body during a surgical procedure.

Device Description
The HydroFlex LI disposable Fumping Chamber/Tubing Set is intended for use with the HydroFlex irrigation pump Controller. Pressure in the pumping chamber is determined by the setting on the main Controller which is calibrated to account for two feet of baq height above the outflow. Maximum static pressure (all outflow closed and no fluid flow) applied to the pre-attached probe tip is limited to approximately 500 mmHg, or 10.C psig, by the main controller. The controller defaults to gravity at an input pressure less Rate of flow is dependent upon pressure than 70mmHq. selection on the controller and probe tip selection.
Fluid will not flow when the back pressure in the system equals the pressure setting on the controller, e.g., when the in the off position. Under static pressure probe is conditions with no outflow, this will equal the controller setting. The impeller continues to spin even with flow stopped, and, in this way, the selected pressure i s maintained. Flow will automatically resume when system back pressure falls below the selected pressure, e.q., when the probe is open to flow.

Description and Intended Use of the Device: 4)
The HydroFlex LI System is designed to provide controlled irriqation during laparoscopic procedures. The system helps flush blood and tissue debris from the operative site during laparoscopy to aid in visualization. It may also be used for dissection of filmy adhesions (i.e. hydrodissection), hydrodissolution of blood clot formations, and peritoneal lavage.
The HydroFlex LI disposable Fumping Chamber/Tubing Set is intended for use with the HydroFlex irrigation pump Controller. Pressure in the pumping chamber is determined by the setting on the main Controller which is calibrated to account for two feet of baq height above the outflow. Maximum static pressure (all outflow closed and no fluid flow) applied to the pre-attached probe tip is limited to approximately 500 mmHg, or 10.C psig, by the main controller.

5) Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological Characteristics, Performance and Intended use:
A comparison chart is provided which summarizes the similarities and differences in intended use, technological characteristics and performance between the four systems (ref. Attachment 1 of this section).
The 510(k) "Substantial Equivalence Decision Making Process (Detailed)" decision tree (ref. Attachment 2 of this section) was utilized to make a determination of substantial equivalence. The answers to the decision tree questions lead to a determination of substantial equivalence.
1. Does the New Device Have the Same Indication Statement?
The Davol HydroFlex LI system and the Davol Endo-Yes. Flo are intended to provide controlled irrigation during laparoscopic procedures. The devices flush blood and tissue debris from the operative site during laparoscopy to aid in visualizatior and may also be used for
2
dissection of filmy adhesions (i.e. hydrodissection), hydrodissolution of blood clot formations, and peritoneal lavage.
New Device Have the Same Technological 2 . Does the Characteristics, e.g. Design, Materials, etc.?
No. Although the HydroFlex LI system and Endo-Flo have the same basic components (pump, irrigation tubing, inflow connectors) the design of these components may vary as well as the principle of operation.
The currently marketed Endo-Flo pump has a diaphragm pump powered by a compressed gas source (pneumatic pump). The input gas pressure is determined by the users adjustment of the pressure requlator at the nitrogen/air source. The vibration of the diaphragm drives the flow of irrigant from the system.
The HydroFlex LI system is driven by an impeller pump which is powered by an electronic Controller (electromechanical control is similar to U.S. Endoscopy Group's Laparoscopic Irrigation System and Suction Irrigation Tubing Set and the Linvatec Apex™ Universal Irrigation The input pressure is determined by the user System). selected setting on the electronic Controller. The Controller determines the speed of the impeller pump which drives the flow of irrigant.
In addition, the design of the HydroFlex system reusable main Controller is such that it can be used as a multipurpose fluid irrigation system (dependent on the disposable Pump Tubing set used with the Controller).
Both systems contain fluid contact components made from cyrolite and polyvinylchloride. Other materials of the HydroFlex LI system differ from the Endo-Flo system.
3. Could the New New New Characteristics Affect Safety or Effectiveness?
Yes. The change in pump mechanism and power source could affect the effectiveness of the irrigation device's ability to provide an adequate irrigant flow rate for laparoscopic procedures. The principle of operation of the HydroFlex LI system (electronic) could affect the safety of the system in reqards to electrical issues.
The ability to use the reusable Controller for multiple types of procedures (i.e. laparoscopic and arthroscopic) could affect the safe and effective use of the product if the user were to misuse the product and use the incorrect disposable with the reusable Controller. The Linvatec Apex™ Universal Irrigation System has this identical
3
feature (multi-use indication).
The use of different fluid contact materials in the HydroFlex LI system could affect the safe and effective system if the materials were the the not use of biocompatible.
The response to questions 5 and 6 below address the assessment of the affects of the new characteristics on safety or effectiveness.
4 . Do the New Characteristics Raise New Types of Safety or Effectiveness Questions?
The question regarding the ability of a laparoscopic No. irrigation system to provide an adequate flow of irrigant during laparoscopic procedures is the same for the HydroFlex LI system and the Endo-Flo.
The question of electrical safety is not new as there are other electro-mechanical laparoscopic irrigation systems available (U.S. Endoscopy Group's Laparoscopic Irrigation System and Suction Irrigation Tubing Set and the Linvatec Apex™ Universal Irrigatior System).
The question of product misuse due to the ability of the Controller to be utilized for multiple procedures is not new. The Linvatec Apex™ Universal Irrigation System is a multi-purpose fluid delivery system which is utilized for both arthroscopic and laparoscopic procedures.
Note: The Davol HydroFlex LI disposable Pump Chamber/Tubing set will be labeled with the following Contraindication "Not for use in Hysteroscopy or Cavity Distention" and will be provided with a pre-attached laparoscopic suction/irrigation probe.
The question of material biocompatibility is not a new type of safety or effectiveness question as the predicate device materials must also be compatible.
5. Do Accepted Scientific Methods Exist for Assessing Effects of the New Characteristics?
Yes. The assessment of the characteristics of laparoscopic irrigation system (adequate flow rates) can be performed by utilizing relatively simple experimental methods. Well accepted tests are available for assessing the biocompatibility of new materials for use in medical devices. Electrical safety standards are available for devices such as the HydroFlex LI system (UL 2601-1, ES1-1993: ANSI/AAMI Safe Current Limits for Electromechanical Apparatus).
