The Gemini is indicated for the fragmentation of urinary tract stones, i.e., renal calyceal stones, renal pelvic stones, and upper ureteral stones.
Device Story
Gemini is a modular urological workstation for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and diagnostic/therapeutic urological procedures. System modules include a basic unit with integrated X-ray C-arm and therapy arm, patient table, control desk, and ultrasound unit. Device uses an electromagnetic shock wave emitter (EMSE) to fragment stones. Clinicians operate the system via the control desk, utilizing integrated X-ray and ultrasound for stone localization. The system aligns the shock wave focus area with the stone to perform fragmentation. Modifications from predicate devices include updated patient table specifications (weight limit, travel, speed), optional larger X-ray image intensifier, alternate X-ray generator, alternate ultrasound unit, and alternate image storage. Benefits include non-invasive stone fragmentation. Used in clinical settings by urologists.

Indicated for fragmentation of urinary tract stones, including renal calyceal, renal pelvic, and upper ureteral stones in adult patients.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter is a device that focuses ultrasonic shock waves into the body to noninvasively fragment urinary calculi within the kidney or ureter. The primary components of the device are a shock wave generator, high voltage generator, control console, imaging/localization system, and patient table. Prior to treatment, the urinary stone is targeted using either an integral or stand-alone localization/imaging system. Shock waves are typically generated using electrostatic spark discharge (spark gap), electromagnetically repelled membranes, or piezoelectric crystal arrays, and focused onto the stone with either a specially designed reflector, dish, or acoustic lens. The shock waves are created under water within the shock wave generator, and are transferred to the patient's body using an appropriate acoustic interface. After the stone has been fragmented by the focused shock waves, the fragments pass out of the body with the patient's urine.

#### Device Trade Name
Gemini Lithotripter
# Classification Name
Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripters (21 C.F.R. § 876.5990)
### Predicate Devices
Dornier Lithotripter (Doli) {P840008, S062)
Dornier Lithotripter 140 (Doli 140) (K011773)
#### Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Gemini is indicated for the fragmentation of urinary tract stones, i.e., renal calyceal stones, renal pelvic stones, and upper ureteral stones.
#### Purpose of the Special 510(k) Notice
The Gemini is a modification to Dornier's Lithotripter (P840008, S062) and the Doli 140 (K011773). Specifically, the Gemini is the same device as the cleared predicate Doli products with the exception of the modifications outlined below:
- Minor changes to the patient table, including weight limit, travel range and speed; o
- Minor changes to the X-ray system to include an optional larger Image Intensifier and 0 use of an alternate X-ray generator;
- O Use of an alternate ultrasound unit; and
- Use of an alternate image storage system. O
# Technological Characteristics/Principles of Operation
The Gemini is a modular urological work station designed for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy ("ESWL") and for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures usual in Urology. The Gemini is composed of the following modules: (1) basic unit with integrated X-ray C-arm and
{1}------------------------------------------------
therapy arm for shockwave treatment; (2) patient table; (3) control desk – user interface; and (4) ultrasound unit.
As indicate above, the Gemini is an extracorporeal shock wave lithotripter used for fragmentation of urinary tract stones, i.e., renal calyceal stones, renal pelvic stones, and upper ureteral stones. The technology to perform this function involves use of an electromagnetic shock wave emitter ("EMSE"). In the case of the subject device and the predicate devices, the identical shock wave source is used. This source, the 140f EMSE, has a well-established record of performance and also is utilized in other Lithotripers that have been cleared by FDA (e.g., Dornier Compact Alpha (K002929) and Dornier Compact Delta (P840008, S066)).
The other elements of the Gemini, i.e., the patient table and the X-ray unit, are also are similar to that of other cleared stationary Lithotripters, the Doli 140 (K011773) and the Dornier Lithotriper (P840008, S062). They perform the same function and operate in the same manner during the procedures involved in the fragmenting of urological stones.
#### Performance Data
The company has complied with all of the requirements described in FDA's Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications (510k's) for Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotrioters Indicated for the Fragmentation of Kidney and Ureteral Calculi.
Device testing was performed to confirm compliance with the following standards:
| o IEC 60601-1:2007 | Electrical safety of medical devices |
|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| o IEC60601-1-2:2007 | Electromagnetic compatibility |
| o IEC 60601-1-3:2008 | Radiation protection |
| o IEC 60601-1-6:2008 | Usability |
| o IEC 60601-2-7 | Safety of high-voltage generators of diagnostic X-ray<br>generator |
| o IEC 60601-2-28 | Particular requirements for the safety of X-ray<br>source assemblies and X-ray tube assemblies for<br>medical diagnosis |
| o IEC 60601-2-36:1997 | Extracorporeally induced Lithotripsy |
| o IEC 60601-2-32:1995 | Safety of X-ray equipment |
| o ISO 13485:2003+AC:2007 | Quality management system |
| o IEC 61846 | Ultrasonics - Pressure pulse lithotripters<br>characteristic of fields |
In all instances, the Gemini Lithotripter functioned as intended and results observed were as expected.
In addition, the system and its software was tested and validated during the company's design control process and the system met all acceptance criteria. The anti-collision system of the subject device was verified to perform as designed to mitigate the risk of injury. The methodology for accurately locating the stone was tested during the design verification testing and the assessment demonstrated that the system is capable of locating the shock wave focus area with sufficient accuracy. Lastly, the device manual was reviewed and approved as part of the design control process. It contains all necessary warnings, cautions and instructions to mitigate potential injuries.
