Scissors: For cutting adhesions, for dissecting, exposing and for separating soft tissue.

Device Story

HySafe Micro Modular Forceps, Punches and Scissors System consists of a handle and interchangeable jaw attachments. Device used endoscopically by trained medical personnel in surgery, urology, and gynecology. Operates via manual mechanical actuation to grasp, manipulate, cut, or remove tissue/foreign bodies. Features axial flushing capability for cleaning and an overload protection mechanism in the handle to absorb excessive force, preventing damage and extending service life. Output is the physical manipulation or removal of target tissue/objects. Benefits include improved instrument durability and enhanced cleaning/sterilization access.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical tests performed. Evidence is based on bench testing, specifically strength and aging tests conducted on forceps with strain relief (spring) to ensure no breakage of jaws or components under normal use conditions.

Technological Characteristics

Modular endoscopic instrument system comprising a handle and various jaw attachments. Features include axial flushing for internal cleaning and an integrated overload protection spring in the handle to absorb excessive force. Mechanical actuation. No electronic components or software.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring endoscopic grasping, manipulation, cutting, dissection, or removal of tissue, organs, foreign bodies, or stones via natural or surgically created passages. Used in surgery, urology, and gynecology by trained medical personnel.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.

Dear Mr. Casarsa,

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 28, 2005.

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

Holding and grasping forceps: For removing residual tissue and foreign bodies, for holding tissue and organs, for stone extraction, and for positioning and removing stents.

Spoon and biopsy forceps: For removing and gripping tissue and tissue samples, and for extracting foreign bodies.

Punch: For removing and separating soft tissue, cartilage, and other non-bony tissue, and for removing tissue.

Scissors: For cutting adhesions, for dissecting, exposing and for separating soft tissue.

### 3.0 Technological Characteristics

The possibility of axial flushing of the insert allows optimal rinsing/cleaning inside. Due to the overload protection in the handle, the service life is significantly increased and reduces the risk of damage during operation by absorbing excessive force.

### 4.0 Substantial Equivalence

The submitted devices pose the same type of questions about safety and effectiveness as the compared devices and the new technological characteristics have not diminished safety or effectiveness. The submitted devices are substantially equivalent to existing 510(k) devices sold by Richard Wolf.

### 5.0 Performance Data

No performance standards are known.

Strength test and ageing measures on forceps with strain relief (spring) show that there is no breakage of the jaw or other parts of the instrument if used normally.

### 6.0 Clinical Tests

No clinical tests performed.

### 7.0 Conclusions Drawn

These devices are designed and tested to guarantee the safety and effectiveness, when used according to the instructions manual.
