Intended Use
The AUSS-6 Ultrasonic Surgical Aspiration System and Accessories are indicated for the fragmentation and aspiration of soft and hard (i.e. bone) tissues in various General and Specialty surgery applications. It is also indicated for use in the debridement of wounds (such as, but not limited to, burn wounds, diabetic ulcers, bedsores and vaginal ulcers), soft tissue debridement and cleansing of the surgical site in applications in which, in the physician's judgment would require the use of an ultrasonic aspirator with sharp debridement.
Device Story
AUSS-6 is an ultrasonic surgical aspirator system consisting of a generator, handpiece, and irrigation/aspiration components. The generator delivers a 22.5 kHz electrical signal to piezoelectric crystals in the handpiece, causing vibration. A titanium tip amplifies this vibration to fragment tissue. An integrated irrigation system delivers solution to the site, while an aspirator removes fragmented tissue and waste liquids. Used in OR settings by surgeons for tissue ablation and wound debridement. The device allows for precise tissue removal, potentially reducing trauma to surrounding healthy tissue compared to traditional sharp debridement. Healthcare providers operate the handpiece directly to perform procedures; output is the physical fragmentation and removal of target tissue.
Clinical Evidence
No new clinical trials were conducted for soft and hard tissue ablation as these indications are well-established for ultrasonic aspirators. Clinical evidence for wound debridement was provided via literature review and clinical test results (Exhibit L), supporting the safety and efficacy of the device for debriding burns, ulcers, and septic wounds.
Technological Characteristics
System includes generator, handpiece with piezoelectric crystals, and titanium tip. Operates at 22.5 kHz. Includes irrigation and aspiration pumps. Complies with UL 2601-1, EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2:2001, and FCC Part 18. No software component.
Indications for Use
Indicated for fragmentation and aspiration of soft and hard (bone) tissue in neurosurgery, GI, urological, plastic/reconstructive, general, orthopedic, and gynecological surgery. Specific applications include benign/malignant tumors, cystic lesions (Bartholin's, vestibular, inclusion, sebaceous), abdominal growths, and limited pulmonary resections. Also indicated for wound debridement (burns, diabetic ulcers, bedsores, vaginal ulcers) and surgical site cleansing where sharp debridement is required.

Output Frequency Measurements Output Power Measurements (No Load to Maximum Load) Tip Displacement Measurements Irrigation Flowrate Measurements Life Tests Vacuum Flowrate and Pressure Measurements Input Power Measurements EMI Tests Dielectric Tests on Mains Circuits Patient Current Leakage and Patient Sink Current Measurements Power Line Ground Leakage Measurements Dielectric Tests on Patient Circuits
#### 9. Discussions of Clinical Tests Performed
The FDA has cleared all indications for use in the predicates since the early 1980's, with the exception of the express indication of Wound Debridement. Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirators have been employed for use in soft and hard tissue ablation for the past 30 years and are well documented in the public domain. Therefore, no clinicals were conducted in anticipation of this submission for those indications.
The use of an Ultrasonic Surgical System for debriding and cleansing of burns, ulcers or septic wounds has been investigated for decades. Several papers have discussed the use of the product in such applications and tabulated the results in Exhibit L. The AUSS-6 has also been the subject of clinical tests for Wound Debridment. The results of these tests are included in Exhibit L as well.
#### 10. Conclusions
Based upon a review of the published literature Misonix Inc. can state that the use of an Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator for Wound Debridement is safe and efficacious. We can also state that the AUSS-6 is substantially equivalent in this regard to the CUSA NS-100, the Misonix Inc. AUSS-5 in soft and hard tissue ablation. The AUSS-6 is also substantially equivalent to sharps debridment of wounds caused by various mechanisms such as burns, radiation and diabetes. Based upon the clinical experiences outlined herein. the Misonix Inc. AUSS-6 Ultrasonic Surgical System and Accessories pose no new issues of safety or efficacy when used for wound debridement.
