Intended Use
The GeniCon trocar is available in 5, 7/8, 10 and 12mm diameter with either a pyramidal or conical tip. This trocar has application in gynecologic, general, thoracic and urology endoscopic procedures to establish a port of entry for instrumentation.
Device Description
This device incorporates several design features which facilitate the surgeons use both during insertion and while instrumentation is being inserted and manipulated. Trocar Tip: - A modified pyramidal tip to provide easier insertion for the surgeon by enabling the tip to . minimally incise the tissue while providing a lower profile transition from the stainless tip to the cannula. Trocar Handle: - Enlarged to provide a more positive fit in the surgeon's palm during insertion, and provides a . groove to provide a more positive fit for the thumb during removal or re-insertion. Cannula: - Clear casing for visualization of instrument and tissue passage. . - Reverse trapezoidal fascia threads, they provide an easier insertion while a positive anchoring . during instrument use. - . Extended CO2 port with male luer cap provides a "finger grip" during device insertion while the male luer cap is easier to remove and replace than the Apple silicone cap. - . Double wall valve lock, assists in maintaining the valve position and to alleviate the premature release sometimes experienced by the Apple product. Valve: - . A tapered membrane assembly provides a more positive seal around the instrument, while the silicon membrane was designed to reduce friction during instrument use. - . A pull-tab was added to facilitate removal of the valve during specimen retrieval.

The device description focuses on mechanical design features of a surgical trocar and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device, a trocar, is used to create a port of entry for surgical instrumentation during endoscopic procedures, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

This device is a surgical instrument (trocar) used to establish a port of entry for instrumentation during endoscopic procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like a trocar tip, handle, cannula, and valve, indicating it is a hardware device used in surgical procedures.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "establish a port of entry for instrumentation" during surgical procedures. This is a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body), not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, tissue, or urine for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components and features of a surgical trocar, which is consistent with a surgical instrument.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the mechanical performance of the device during simulated surgical use (pressure testing, ease of use, insertion), not on diagnostic accuracy or analytical performance.

Therefore, the GeniCon trocar is a surgical instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Engineering testing has demonstrated that the valve assembly performs better than that of the Apple and Core trocar valve assembly. This testing incorporated a simulated human abdominal cavity and the method of insertion of the device and use with various common laparoscopic instruments. In all areas of performance, this device performed equal to if not superior in pressure testing, ease of use and insertion.

Dear Mr. Haberland:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
