Intended Use
The SurgASSIST™ Right Angle Linear Cutter Digital Loading Unit™, 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm, Vascular with Reloads has applications for general and endoscopic surgery including multiple open or minimally invasive general, gynecological, urologic (including radical prostatectomy), thoracic, and pediatric surgical procedures for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses. They can be used with staple line or tissue buttressing material such as bovine pericardium.
Device Story
SurgASSIST™ Right Angle Linear Cutter Digital Loading Unit™ (DLU) is a single-patient-use surgical stapler component. It attaches to a flexible shaft (FS) connected to a power console (PC). The DLU features a staple-forming anvil and a cutting blade. During operation, the PC provides mechanical power to drive the stapling and cutting mechanism. The surgeon controls the device via a handheld electronic Remote Control Unit (RCU). The DLU compresses tissue, sequentially forms staples, and simultaneously severs the tissue. Each DLU includes an integral electronic memory module for identification of reload type and size. The device is used in OR settings by surgeons to facilitate tissue anastomosis and resection. It benefits patients by providing a powered, steerable, and precise method for tissue transection and stapling in both open and endoscopic procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Single-patient-use DLU with staple-forming anvil and cutting blade. Powered by external console via flexible shaft. Includes electronic memory module for reload identification. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (ETO). Dimensions: 30mm, 45mm, 60mm variants. Staple configuration: 6 rows, 2.4mm crown, 2.3mm leg, 0.20mm thickness.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing general, gynecological, urologic (including radical prostatectomy), thoracic, or pediatric surgical procedures requiring transection, resection, or creation of anastomoses via open or minimally invasive techniques.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An implantable staple is a staple-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.

- b) ETS Compact-Flex45 Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter, Vascular/Thin. Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio. REF SCW45 (K002398).
- 4) Device Description:
The devices described here are Right Angle Linear Cutter Digital Loading Units™(DLUs), 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm, Vascular, with Reloads for single patient use. All have a maximum diameter of 3.1". Both DLUs and Reloads are supplied pre-sterilized and ready for use upon removal from their packaging.
The 30 mm Vascular DLU can only be used with the 30 mm Vascular Reload.
The 45 mm Vascular DLU can only be used with the 45 mm Vascular Reload.
The 60 mm Vascular DLU can only be used with the 60 mm Vascular Reload.
The DLU contains a staple-forming anvil. The anvil acts with the staple cartridge to compress and position layers of tissue in readiness for stapling and cutting. At the same time, the anvil provides support and a means for correctly forming staples while they are closed sequentially along the tissue, followed by the cutting blade. The Right Angle Linear Cutter Vascular DLU is perpendicular to the Flex Shaft, forming an extension to the Flex Shaft, to which they are connected.
A loaded DLU is used to anastomose tubular structures by applying staples through the tissue and forming the staples to a controlled closed condition to secure the layers of tissue together. It also severs the tubular structure.
Right Angle Linear Cutter Vascular Reloads contain staples, a cutting blade. and the means to simultaneously force staples toward the anvil. The cutting blade is advanced in conjunction with the staple pushers so that tissue is simultaneously stapled and cut.
The DLUs are attached to the end of the FlexShaft (FS), which contains a pair of flexible rotary drive shafts within an overall flexible shaft. The other end of the FS is connected to the Power Console (PC), which applies mechanical power to the drive shafts. DLUs have all functions powered by the PC. The
{2}------------------------------------------------
K022313 page
3/6
FS has a short steerable section at the distal end (near the attached DLU) so that the angle of attack (attitude) of the DLU can be adjusted by the surgeon to optimize patient accessibility.
> The surgeon operates a DLU via a hand held electronic Remote Control Unit (RCU).
> The DLUs have quick attach and release means for coupling to the FS. No tools are required. DLUs are pushed onto the FS end, snapping and locking into place. To remove a DLU from the FS, a sleeve on the DLU at the junction with the FS is rotated by hand.
DLU designs shall allow for attachment of their corresponding Reloads, but shall inhibit attachment of incompatible Reloads. Each Reload has an integral electronic memory module. This identifies the type and size of the Reload being used.
- 5) Indications For Use -
The SurgASSIST™ Right Angle Linear Cutter Digital Loading Unit™, 30 mm, 45 mm and 60 mm, Vascular with Reloads has applications for general and endoscopic surgery including multiple open or minimally invasive general, gynecological, urologic (including radical prostatectomy), thoracic, and pediatric surgical procedures for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses.

Dear Ms. Whitman:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
