Intended Use

The Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System is a surgical instrument designed to retain the precise, clean cutting characteristics of a traditional steel scalpel and to minimize blood loss by simultaneously sealing blood vessels as they are cut with minimal tissue damage and virtually no muscle stimulation, using heat thermally conducted to the tissue from an elevated-temperature blade.

Device Story

Thermal scalpel system for surgical cutting and coagulation; uses heat thermally conducted from elevated-temperature blade to tissue. Input: electrical power to heat blade; Output: thermal energy for cutting/sealing. Used in clinical/surgical settings by physicians. System includes controller, handle, and blade. Features aluminum enclosure, TFT display, and optional footswitch. Benefits: precise cutting, reduced blood loss, minimal tissue damage, no muscle stimulation. Controller maintains blade temperature (70°C–300°C) to setpoints. Device mounts on IV pole. Sterilization via EO gas.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing and controlled animal testing. Bench testing verified blade temperature control accuracy (within 0-5°C of setpoints, outperforming predicate). Animal study compared hemostasis efficacy: P8400 achieved average score of 4.8 vs. 4.56 for predicate (0-5 scale).

Technological Characteristics

Thermal scalpel system; operating temperature 70°C to 300°C. Aluminum enclosure; TFT display; IV pole mountable. Handle sterilized via EO gas. Electrical safety: UL 60601-1 Type BF. Connectivity: optional footswitch interface.

Indications for Use

Indicated for surgical cutting and coagulation in patients requiring procedures where precise cutting and simultaneous hemostasis are necessary to minimize blood loss and tissue damage.

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.

Intended Use - The Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System is a surgical instrument designed to retain the precise, clean cutting characteristics of a traditional steel scalpel and to minimize blood loss by simultaneously sealing blood vessels as they are cut with minimal tissue damage and virtually no muscle stimulation, using heat thermally conducted to the tissue from an elevated-temperature blade.

Predicate Device - The Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System is substantially equivalent to the Hemostatix Model 2400Z Thermal Scalpel System and any differences should not affect safety or effectiveness.

Statement of Similarities and Dissimilarities - The Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System has the same intended use; the same technological characteristics; power modality; mode of operation: utilizes the same scalpel blades; has many of the same audible sounds and alarms; handles that are sterilized the same way (EO gas); same operating temperature ranges (70° C to 300° C), and, utilizes the same blades as the predicate device, the Hemostatix Model 2400Z Thermal Scalpel System cleared via 510(k) No .: K033089. The Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System differs from the predicate device in that the Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System features an aluminum enclosure vs. a thermoplastic enclosure for the Hemostatix Model 2400Z Thermal Scalpel System; requires a different handle with a unique plug-in connector which is not compatible with the Hemostatix Model 2400Z Thermal Scalpel System; will accommodate an optional footswitch to control the functions of the handle and blade; will mount on an IV pole unlike the Hemostatix Model 2400Z Thermal Scalpel System; has one multi-color 4.6 in x 3.4 in TFT display vs. two displays (1.5 in x 3 in - three color and 0.5 in x 3 in monochromatic message center); and is designed to be UL 60601-1 Type BF versus a Type B for the Hemostatix Model 2400Z Thermal Scalpel System.

Performance Testing - Performance testing of the Model P8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System was conducted and the results compared to the predicate device - the Model 2400Z Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System. Results of the following performance tests demonstrate that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the predicate device.

#### 1. VERIFICATION OF ACTUAL BLADE TEMPERATURES COMPARED WITH CONTROLLER SETPOINTS

To verify the design input requirements that the Model P8400 controller was capable of controlling blade temperatures to within ± 10° C of the controller's set points. temperature measurements using a thermocouple attached to a blade surface at controller set points over a range of 150° C and the maximum temperature of 300° C were taken in still air without load applied to the blades using both the Model P8400 controller and the Model 2400Z controller. The results indicated that the actual blade temperature using the Model P8400 controller correlated within 0° C to 5° C over the entire range of the controller's set points. Comparing the results of the Model P8400 controller to that of the Model 2400Z controller, it was concluded that the Model P8400 controller was more capable of matching actual blade temperature to controller set point temperature than the Model 2400Z controller.

### 2. VERIFICATION OF THE LEVEL OF HEMOSTASIS ACHIEVED

To compare the results of hemostasis achieved with the Model 8400 Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System to the predicate device, the Model 2400Z Hemostatix Thermal Scalpel System, controlled animal testing was conducted. Results of this testing demonstrated that the P8400 system achieved an average level of hemostasis of 4.8 (as judged on a 0 to 5 scale with 5 representing the best) compared with the Model 2400Z system which achieved an average level of hemostasis of 4.56.
