Indications for Use
Laparoscopes are used by surgeons in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Laparoscopic minimally invasive procedures are performed in the abdominal cavity by means of small skin punctures that allow the insertion of the laparoscope and laparoscopic instruments. The PMC Laparoscopic instruments are intended to scrape, cut, grasp, hold, remove, and manipulate tissue, organs or bowel during laparoscopic surgery. The secondary function is to provide monopolar electrocautery capability to dissect and coagulate soft tissue.
Device Story
PMC Laparoscopic instruments consist of manual surgical tools including scissors, forceps, trocars, electrodes, and laparoscopes. Used by surgeons in OR settings for minimally invasive abdominal procedures. Instruments provide visualization and physical manipulation of tissue, organs, or bowel via small skin punctures. Secondary function includes monopolar electrocautery for soft tissue dissection and coagulation. Device design, materials (stainless steel, carbon-fiber, insulation), and functionality are substantially equivalent to predicate manual laparoscopic instruments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing demonstrated biocompatibility, electromagnetic compatibility, functionality, and safety in accordance with international standards.
Technological Characteristics
Manual laparoscopic instruments; materials include martensitic stainless steel, carbon-fiber, and insulation material. Components include scissors, forceps, trocars, electrodes, and laparoscopes. Monopolar electrocautery capability. Dimensions range from 3mm to 12mm diameter and 25cm to 60cm length. Non-software device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for surgeons performing diagnostic and therapeutic laparoscopic procedures in the abdominal cavity, including pelvic pain, infertility, tubal sterilization, ectopic pregnancy, pelvic tumors, foreign body retrieval, endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, LAVH, and abdominal organ visualization/treatment.
Regulatory Classification
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. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.
Special Controls
*Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
