Aesthetic body contouring
Device Story
Suction lipoplasty system for aesthetic body contouring; removes adipose tissue via negative pressure. System includes powered vacuum pump (double piston, 1/3 HP), collection bags with overflow/bacterial filters, and proprietary WAL Applicator (single-use tubing set with infiltration pump). Infiltration pump delivers saline to tissue area via irrigation cannulae; vacuum pump aspirates loosened fat. Used in clinical settings by physicians. Benefits include tissue-sparing fat removal; fan-shaped saline spray loosens adipose tissue while preserving connective tissue, muscle, blood vessels, and nerves.
Clinical Evidence
No prospective clinical trials were conducted. Evidence consists of in-vitro laboratory investigations on human cadaveric and excised abdominal fat tissue to assess the impact of the fan-shaped saline spray on adipose, connective, muscle, vascular, and nerve tissues. Additionally, the submission relies on a review of published clinical performance data for the device and predicate lipoplasty techniques to support safety and effectiveness claims.
Technological Characteristics
Powered vacuum pump with two WOB-L pistons; variable vacuum range 0-26.5 inHg. Includes overflow/bacterial filters, single-use WAL Applicator tubing, and re-sterilizable proprietary cannulae. System uses dynamic compression via fixed pistons. Infiltration pump delivers saline for tissue preparation. Materials and design are equivalent to predicate suction/infiltration systems.
Indications for Use
Indicated for aesthetic body contouring.

#### 4. Device Description
The body-jet®, a suction lipoplasty system, is a device intended for aesthetic body contouring. The device consists of a powered vacuum pump (containing an overflow/bacterial filter in the tube between the vacuum pump and suction bag), a collection bag with integrated overflow/bacterial filter, cannulae, and a connecting tube. The suction/collection bags including bacterial filters, the tubing, and the cannulae are to be changed between patients. The powered vacuum pump has a motor with a minimum of 1/3 horsepower, a variable vacuum range from 0 to 26.5 inches of mercury, vacuum control valve to regulate the vacuum with accompanying vacuum gauge, a double piston, and a safety trap. The powered vacuum pump generates a negative pressure for the removal of fat or adipose tissue from distinct body-fat deposits for aesthetic body-contouring.
The body-jet® includes a sterile, single-use tubing set with a small infiltration pump (the WAL Applicator), which transports the saline for the infiltration of the tissue area to be treated, and infiltration and irrigation cannulae. The single-use tubing set (WAL Applicator) and the reusable cannulae have been designed as proprietary products.
#### 5. Indications for Use
The body-jet® is intended for aesthetic body contouring.
#### 6. Summary of Technological Characteristics
The body-jet® vacuum pump system consists of a powered vacuum pump with two WOB-L pistons (dynamic compression by fixed piston inside cylinder) working bit-parallel in the punp. The powered vacuum pump generates a negative pressure for the removal of adipose tissue. Two suction containers of identical design and mode of operation, one on the left side and one on the right side of the body-jet® device, are provided for holding the suction bags.
The suction bags are equipped with a dual-function filter acts simultaneously as an overflow protection and a bacterial barrier and closes automatically when it contact with fluids. The connecting tube between the collection bag and the vacuum pump contains an overflow protection/bacterial filter. It is used when the dual filter in the suction bag is damaged. If the fluid reaches a maximum level in the bag, the floats in the overflow filter will block the inlet port, automatically stopping the suction. This prevents the back-up of fluid to either the pump or the patient. The tubing is able to withstand the amount of negative pressure created by the vacuum pump without collapsing.
A small infiltration pump (included in the single-use WAL Applicator) transports the saline for the infiltration of the treated tissue area via the infiltration cannulae, similar to the procedure of traditional liposuction and of its predicate devices. The WAL Applicator has been designed as a single-use proprietary product. The cannulae are re-sterilizable proprietary products.
The vacuum pump system, the infiltration pump system and the cannulae of the body-jet® are substantially equivalent to the vacuum and infiltration pump systems, and the cannulae of its predicate devices in terms of intended use, design, operating principles, and materials.

#### 7. Summary of Histopathological and Immunohistological Performance Data
In order to support a determination of safety and effectiveness, the effect of the fan-shaped saline spray of the body-jet® has been studied on different human tissue structures. For this purpose two in-vitro laboratory investigations have been carried out. on fat tissue samples from human corpses (Investigation 1), and from "dead" abdominal fat excisates (Investigation 2). No humans have been treated for the purpose of these in-vitro laboratory investigations.
The following tissue structures were examined: :
- . adipose tissue,
- connective tissue, �
- muscle tissue, .
- . blood vessels.
- nerves. .
Based on the results of these investigations (please refer to Section 18) it can be summarized that water assisted lipoplasty with the fan-shaped water spray of the body-jet" produces no damage to vital structures like connective tissue, muscle tissue, blood vessels and nerves, thus supporting a determination of safety and substantial equivalence of the body-jet® water-assisted technique WAL to its predicate devices and the other referenced lipoplasty techniques.
#### 8. Summary of Clinical Performance Data
The evaluation of published clinical performance data demonstrate that the body-jet" device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as its predicate devices and the other referenced lipoplasty techniques that are currently cleared for aesthetic body contouring.
Based on the results of the published clinical performance data (as presented in Section 20) and the pathohistological performance data (as presented in Section 18) it can be summarized that water assisted lipoplasty with the fan-shaped water spray of the body-jet® loosens the adipose tissue, and separates and aspirates the adipocytes without producing any damage to vital structures like connective tissue, muscle tissue, blood vessels and nerves, thus supporting a determination of safety and effectiveness, and substantial equivalence of the body-jef waterassisted technique (WAL) to its predicate devices and the other referenced lipoplasty techniques.
#### 9. Conclusion
Based upon the information presented above and in this 510(k) submission , it is concluded that the proposed body-jet® is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices, and safe and effective for the intended use of aesthetic body contouring.
