Intended Use

Pajunks disposable inserts are instruments insulated for optional monopolar coagulation which enable a surgeon to grasp, manipulate, dissect, retrieve, biopsy, cut or coagulate internal tissue or organs while performing laparoscopic procedures.

Device Story

Modular laparoscopic surgical system comprising reusable handles and disposable instrument inserts; inserts include grasping forceps, scissors, biopsy punches, and clamps/needle holders. System utilizes mechanical locking mechanism to secure inserts into insulated shafts and handles. Handles feature ergonomic design for left/right-handed use, integrated rotation stop, and optional ratchet switch for coagulation control. Operated by surgeons in clinical/laparoscopic settings. Device enables tissue manipulation and monopolar electrosurgical coagulation. Disposable inserts allow for economic replacement of sensitive components, ensuring sharp cutting edges for every intervention.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and intended use comparison to predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Modular surgical instrument system; materials include glass fiber-reinforced plastic for handles; mechanical locking/latching mechanism for insert-to-shaft-to-handle assembly; monopolar electrosurgical capability; manual operation; sterile, single-use inserts; reusable handles.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use by surgeons to grasp, manipulate, dissect, retrieve, biopsy, cut, or perform optional monopolar coagulation of internal tissue or organs during laparoscopic procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

**Device and Technology Description:**

The Pajunk MIS-System contains but is not limited to electrode-inserts for comfortable and safe coagulation. PAJUNK has extended its range of instruments for MIS by a reuseable, modular system with disposeable inserts, which permits the economic replacement of the sensitive inserts.

The instrument inserts consist of four basic types: Grasping Forceps, Scissors, Biopsy Punches and Clamps /Needle Holders. All handles can be combined with all insulated shafts and instrument inserts, regardless of their size and shape.

The shaft screws onto the handle tightly, and it ensures the safe and secure connection of the two elements. Every module of the handle-instrument is kept in its bracing future, secured against distortion. A snap-on mechanism locks the instrument insert in the shaft: This whole element can then in turn be latched onto the handle by a special locking device. This latching of the connecting rod and the shaft minimizes the torsion stress exerted upon the instrument insert; the double security against distortion transfers the torque also to the entire shaft.

For the 1293- and 1292- Combination Handle an ergonomically placed switch allows the ratchet to be easily switched on or off during usage. Jacketed with glass fiber-reinforced plastic, the precise mechanical construction of the PAJUNK handle ensures maximum stability. Designed for left and right handed use, the ergonomically shaped handles are simple and comfortable to operate. The rotary wheel can be adjusted with a little pressure applied by the index finger. A built-in rotation stop secures the desired position when grasping.

And with that, PAJUNK® has created the option to always work and also to coagulate with new, guaranteed sharp scissors at every intervention. Three different sizes are available: micro, medium and large. They are packed individually, sterile, and they can be replaced very easily.

The fast and easy assembly is based on the ingenious locking mechanism. The scissor-insert is clicked into the connecting rod and tightly screwed together with the guidance tube. Please observe, that the replacement can only be carried out if the scissors are closed.Biocompatibility information for Pajunk's adaptable disposable inserts is located in Section 15.0 of this submission.

### Intended Use

Pajunks disposable inserts are instruments insulated for optional monopolar coagulation which enable a surgeon to grasp, manipulate, dissect, retrieve, biopsy, cut or coagulate internal tissue or organs while performing laparoscopic procedures.

# Substantial Equivalence

Based on the information within this submission, it is our conclusion that Pajunk's reusable inserts marketed under 510(k) number K033249, and disposable inserts (subject device) are substantially equivalent.

Pajunk's electrodes are as safe and effective as the predicate devices when used by professional surgeons in accordance with the instructions for use supplied with these medical devices.

### Conclusion:

The comparison between the predicate device and the proposed device demonstrates that the proposed Pajunk devices are at least as safe and effective as, as well as substantially equivalent to Pajunks predicate device.
