## VII. Summary of non-clinical testing

Performance testing was conducted on the following items to support the marketing claims and to confirm that the safety and effectiveness of the Single Use Electrosurgical Snare SD-400 is at least equivalent to the predicate device.

- -Snare operation with the compatible endoscopes
- Dimensions of each part of the snare -
- -Durability of snare loop wire

The EO residual and ECH residual were measured after sterilization of the device to meet the criteria defined in ISO 11135 Second edition 2014 and AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-7:2008(R)2012.

The shelf-life for three years had been validated in accelerated testing according to ASTM F1980-16 (2016) and the requirements on packaging for terminally sterilized medical device per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11607-1:2006/(R) 2010 and AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11607-2:2006/(R)2010 are also met. The testing successfully demonstrated essential performance is achieved before and after the shelf life test.

Biocompatibility testing was performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance." Use of International Standard ISO-10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" issued on June 16, 2016. The cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous irritation and system toxicity tests were performed to demonstrate the biocompatibility of the device.

Tests on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety were performed in accordance to requirements per AAMI/ANSI ES 60601-1:2005/(R)2012 and A1:2012 and IEC 60601-1-2 Edition 3: 2007-03, and in particular we also conducted tests on high frequency surgical equipment and accessories for endoscopes per IEC 60601-2-18: Edition 3.0 2009-08 and AAMI/ANSI/IEC 60601-2-2:2009.

Finally, risk analysis was carried out in accordance with established in-house acceptance criteria based on ISO 14971 Second edition 2007-03-01. The design verification tests and their acceptance criteria were identified and performed as a result of this risk analysis assessment.
