Intended Use

The Canady Plasma Probes' intended use is for the delivery of argon gas plasma energy for argon enhanced coagulation of tissue.

Device Story

Flexible tubular instrument for endoscopic argon plasma coagulation; delivers argon gas and HF electrosurgical current to target tissue. Device consists of connector/handle, inner lumen for gas delivery, internal wire for HF current, and tungsten electrode tip housed in ceramic tip. Used in gastroenterology and bronchoscopy; operated by physician via endoscope working channel. Argon gas ionized by HF voltage creates conductive path to tissue, enabling coagulation. Depth marker rings assist positioning. Single-use, sterile, disposable device.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Flexible tubular probe; materials include Teflon and ceramic. Energy source: HF electrosurgical generator (max 4.0-4.3 kVp, 50-120 W). Dimensions: 1.6-3.4 m length, 1.5-3.2 mm diameter. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide. Single-use. No software or algorithm.

Indications for Use

Indicated for argon enhanced coagulation of tissue in patients undergoing endoscopic surgical procedures, including upper and lower gastroenterology and bronchoscopy.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

## Device Description:

The Canady Plasma Probes are tubular instruments and are flexible. They are provided in various lengths and diameter sizes to accommodate the various size/types of endoscopes for a variety of applications (i.e. the treatment of various target tissues inside a patient). The Probes have applications in endoscopic surgical procedures such as upper and lower gastroenterology and bronchoscopy to provide a means of coagulation using electrosurgical current and argon gas.

The device consists of a connector which acts also as a handle for maneuvering the probe inside the working channel of an endoscope. Via an inner lumen of the Canady Plasma Probe argon gas is delivered to the operative site as well as an internal wire to carry high frequency (HF) electrosurgical current to a tungsten electrode tip at the end of the tubing. A ceramic tip insulates the thermal plastic tubing from the heat generated during coagulation. The electrode is positioned in the ceramic tip such that it cannot contact the patient's tissue during coagulation procedure.

#### 510(k) Summary

The Canady Plasma Probes are provided sterile by means of ethylene oxide and are disposable (Single Use)

#### Application

Application
An endoscope is manipulated inside the patient to locate that requires treatment. Upon An enoscope is manipulated inside the policity to the working channel of the seans. The tinding the target tissue, the Canady Fridania Probe slightly protrudes from the end of the stages. The the endoscope, until the tip of the Probe ingmy provision of the area to be treated. The opening of the Probes have depth marker rings close to the tip for positioning purposes.
Canady Plasma Probes have depth marker rings close to the tip for positioning purpose Canady Plasma Probes have departmanter Rings of the proximity to tissue is close When high requency voltages redonos the series in the gas stream. This allows the enough, electrically conductive argon phone for current density upon arrival at the tissue current to now between the probe and the Reases coagulation. The application of the sunace from an AFD probe (Algori Platina Book), Inc. Canady Plasma Probes are for single use only.

#### Intended Use:

The Canady Plasma Probes' intended use is for the delivery of argon gas plasma energy for argon enhanced coagulation of tissue.

## Electrical Characteristic:

Electrical Characteristic.
Canady Plasma Probes can be operated in combination with HF generators which are Carrady Plasma Prosos carred under K#013348 to a

max. HF voltage of 4.0 kVp / max. HF power of 50 W for the TBS probes

max. HF voltage of 4.3 kVp / max. HF power of 90 W for the GIT probes (2.3 mm)

max. HF voltage of 4.3 kVp / max. HF power of 120 W for the GIT probes (3.2 mm)

#### Dimensions:

Diffielistions:
The lengths of the Canady Argon Probes are 1.6 m (5.2 ft) to 3.4 m (11 ft). The diameters of the probes are 1.5 mm (4.5 Fr) to 3.2 mm (9.6 Fr).

## Similarities to Predicate Devices:

The Canady Plasma Probes have the same performance specifications and intended use The Canady Tiasma Proooc navare also provided sterile by ethylene oxide and are like the predicate devices: They are are processible in function to the connector of disposables for single ase only. The see also compatible to the corresponding connector hose.

nose.
The tube diameters and lengths are very similar. Both, the Canady Plasma Probes and the The lube diameters and tengine and (scaled probe tip). Also the used predicate devices nave manang may the distal end and Teflon for the tubes of the probes - are identical. In consequence the insulation characteristic is the same. The electrical characteristics are one and the same.

## Differences to Predicate Devices:

Differences to Predicate Devices K#990586 and K#963189 are different.

#### Conclusions:

Conclusions.
Canady Plasma Probes are substantial equivalent in its Intended Use, Dimensions, Used Canady Flashia Prodoc are See Electrical Characteristics, Operational Principles and Matehals, Construction, & Bally, Libbins to which the Canady Plasma Probes are compared in this submission.

The differences do not affect safety and effectiveness.
