Intended Use

The VAPR 3 Electrosurgical System, when used with a VAPR Electrode, is intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, andle, elbow and wrist. The VAPR LD and LP Suction Electrodes, when used with the VAPR Electrosurgical System, are intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, andle, elbow and wrist.

Device Story

VAPR 3 Electrosurgical System comprises generator, handpiece, cable, electrodes, and footswitch; designed for soft tissue ablation, contouring, cutting, and hemostasis during arthroscopic procedures. LD and LP Suction Electrodes integrate with system to remove bubbles from operating site during activation. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. System transforms electrical energy into RF output for tissue interaction; output visualized by surgeon via arthroscope to guide resection/coagulation. Clinical benefit includes precise tissue management and improved visibility via suction functionality.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Validation testing performed to support device modifications and confirm performance characteristics against predicate standards.

Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical system utilizing RF energy for tissue ablation/coagulation. Components include generator, handpiece, cable, and suction-enabled electrodes. System operates via standard electrosurgical principles for cutting/coagulation. Design complies with 21 CFR 820.30 design controls.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow, and wrist for soft tissue resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, and coagulation.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An arthroscope is an electrically powered endoscope intended to make visible the interior of a joint. The arthroscope and accessories also is intended to perform surgery within a joint.

Predicate Devices

• VAPR II Electrosurgical System (K002402)

vessels during arthroscopic surgical procedures. The components of the system include a generator, handpiece and cable, electrodes, and footswitch.

The VAPR LD and LP Suction Electrodes are soft tissue ablation and dessication devices intended for use with the VAPR System. They extend the utility of the system by removing bubbles created during activation from the operating site.

The VAPR 3 Electrosurgical System, when used with a VAPR Electrode, is intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, andle, elbow and wrist.

The VAPR LD SUCTION and LP SUCTION Electrodes, when used with the VAPR Electrosurgical System, are intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, andle, elbow and wrist.

In support of the 510(k), Mitek has provided certification of compliance to 21 CFR 820.30 Design Control requirements, descriptions of Mitek's subcontractor Design Control and Risk Analysis procedures, and the results of validation testing (performance testing) for the device modification.

Based on the Indications for Use, technological characteristics and safety and performance testing, the VAPR 3 Electrosurgical System and VAPR LD and LP Suction Electrodes have been shown to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
