More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a device that electronically controls gas pressure and flow rate based on user adjustments. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any learning or adaptive capabilities.

No
The device is used to generate and maintain pneumoperitoneum during laparoscopic procedures, which is a supportive function for a diagnostic or operative procedure rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No
The device, a CO2 insufflator, is used to dilate the abdomen for diagnostic and operative laparoscopy. While laparoscopy can be diagnostic, the device itself is not performing a diagnostic function; it is a tool used during the diagnostic procedure.

No

The device description clearly states it supplies CO2 gas and controls pressure and flow, indicating it is a hardware device with electronic controls, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "generate and maintain pneumoperitoneum under CO2 gas" for diagnostic and operative laparoscopy. This is a procedure performed on the patient's body, not on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device supplies CO2 gas to dilate the abdomen. This is a mechanical/gas delivery function, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device's function is entirely focused on facilitating a surgical/diagnostic procedure performed directly on the patient.

1.0 Description

The Laparo CO2-Pneu 2232 supplies CO2 gas from cylinders or central gas supplies to dilate the abdomen by the CO2 gas insufflation. The gas pressure and the flow rate are adjusted by the user and electronically controlled.

1

2.0 Intended Use

The Laparo CO2-Pneu automatic insufflator generates and maintains pneumoperitoneum under CO2 gas and can be used in diagnostic and operative laparoscopy.

3.0 Technological Characteristics

The pressure and flow values are checked by microprocessor control. A number of independent safety devices provide safe and problem-free insufflation.

The intra-abdominal pressure between 5 mmHg and 25 mmHg can be preselected. The pressure is reduced if the intra-abdominal pressure is higher than the preselected. THC

The flow rate can be preselected between 1 L/minute and 30 L/minute at a pace of 1 V/min.

The measured values can be displayed on-screen in order to document the pressure, flow, and gas consumption values during intervention via video equipment.

An electronic circuit, integrated into the insufflation tube, warms the gas to body temperature.

4.0 Substantial Equivalence

The Laparo CO2-Pneu is substantially equivalent to existing 510(k) devices sold by Richard Wolf and Karl Storz.

  • 5.0 Performance Data No performance data generated.
  • 6.0 Clinical Tests

No clinical tests performed.

7.0 Conclusions Drawn

Laparo CO2-Pneu 2232 was designed and tested to guarantee the safety and effectiveness during the expected life time of the device when used according to the instruction manual.

Re: K991906 Laparo CO2 Pneu 2232 Automatic Insufflator Dated: September 1, 1999 Received: September 2, 1999 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 884.1730/Procode: 85 HIF

Dear Mr. Casarsa:

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 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, 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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

lf you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification"(21 CFR 807.97).

Device Name: _

Intended Use:

The Laparo CO2-Pneu automatic insufflator generates and maintains pneumoperitoneum under CO2 gas and can be used in diagnostic and operative laparoscopy.

Contraindications:

The use of this device is contraindicated if laparoscopy is contraindicated.

Warning: The device has a high flow rate. The device is not suitable for hysteroscopy. Do not use this device to inflate the cavum uteri.

Contractindications for the patient resulting from the general findings, which are described in the relevant literature must be observed.

Possible Combinations:

Important! In addition to the product instruction manual, be sure to observe the instruction manuals of the products used in combination with this product.

Electromagnetic interference or other influences which may occur between the product and other products may lead to defects or malfunctions.

Warning! Danger of potentially fatal gas or air embolism. Purge the connection tubes thoroughly with CO, before every use. The use of devices using additional gaseous media in combination with the Laparo CO-Pncu automatic insufflator lies exclusively in the responsibility of the user.

Warning! There is danger of intra-abdominal pressure when a second gas source is used.

When argon plasma coagulations are used, it is vital for the user to also have additional visual or manual pressure monitoring available, as there is a potential risk that the breasure monitoring or ventilation of the Laparo CO2-Pneu is deactivated, e.g. by a kinked insufflation tube or a closed instrument port (stopcock). The preselected gas flow rate of argon plasma coagulations should not excecd 2 Vmin. Activate the argon plasma coagulator only for shot periods of time.
