It creates and maintains a port of entry for surgical instruments. The device features a low-profile housing, a radiolucent fixation sleeve, and a seal system that accommodates 2mm-3mm to 5mm instrumentation while preventing pneumoperitoneum loss during instrument exchange. It includes a luer lock with a cap for insufflation and desufflation. The 2mm-3mm version utilizes an obturator tip with two linear non-bladed fins and a rounded tip. Used by surgeons in clinical settings, the device facilitates minimally invasive access, potentially reducing patient trauma compared to traditional bladed trocars. ## Clinical Evidence In-vitro and in-vivo performance testing was conducted to verify substantial equivalence and validate device functionality. No clinical trial data was required or presented. ## Technological Characteristics Low-profile housing; radiolucent fixation sleeve; internal seal system for 2mm-3mm to 5mm instrumentation; luer lock with cap for insufflation/desufflation. Materials comply with ISO 10993-1. Non-bladed obturator tip with 2 linear fins (2mm-3mm size). ## Regulatory 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.

(12) Performance data must support the shelf life of the device components provided sterile by demonstrating continued sterility and package integrity over the labeled shelf life. (13) Performance data must validate the reprocessing instructions for the reusable components of the device. (14) Performance data must demonstrate that all patient-contacting components of the device are biocompatible. (15) Performance data must demonstrate that all patient-contacting components of the device are non-pyrogenic. (16) The device manufacturer must submit a report to the FDA annually on the anniversary of initial marketing authorization for the device, until such time as FDA may terminate such reporting, which comprises the following information: (i) Cumulative summary, by year, of complaints and adverse events since date of initial marketing authorization; and (ii) Identification and rationale for changes made to the device, labeling, or device specific use training program, which did not require submission of a premarket notification during the reporting period. ## Predicate Devices - Versaport™ Bladeless Trocar ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
