Indications for Use
The DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrodes for use with the VAPR System are intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissue, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissue in patients requiring arthroscpic surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow and wrist.
Device Story
VAPR system is a bipolar electrosurgical device for arthroscopic soft tissue treatment; includes generator, electrodes, and footswitch. Electrodes deliver radiofrequency energy to joint space for ablation, cutting, and coagulation. Used in OR by surgeons for knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow, and wrist procedures. Device facilitates tissue resection and hemostasis; benefits include precise temperature-controlled tissue management. This submission adds hip arthroscopy indication and updates electrode shaft design to match predicate single-shaft configuration.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Safety and performance demonstrated via bench testing, including device insertion, shaft bending, and active tip engagement tests.
Technological Characteristics
Bipolar electrosurgical electrodes; single-shaft design. Energy source: VAPR radiofrequency generator. Connectivity: connects to VAPR system generator. Sterilization: not specified. Software: none (mechanical/electrical electrode).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow, or wrist for soft tissue resection, ablation, excision, hemostasis, and coagulation.

Hip Indication addition to VAPR Electrodes
1
{1}------------------------------------------------
| | As a result, the Instructions for Use (IFU) will be updated to add the hip indication. |
|-------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | Besides the HIP indication addition, electrode shaft design (S50, P50 and P50 w/Hndcontrols) has been changed to the same single-shaft design of the predicates. |
| | No other changes have been made to the devices covered by this submission. |
| Indications for Use | VAPR Suction Electrodes (P50, S50, S90, P50 w/Handcontrols and S90 w/Handcontrols) |
| | The DePuy Mitek VAPR Electrodes for use with the VAPR System are intended for resection, ablation, excision of soft tissues, hemostasis of blood vessels and coagulation of soft tissues in patients requiring arthroscopic surgery of the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow and wrist. |
| Substantial Equivalence | With the addition of the Hip indication, the VAPR Systems and electrodes which are the subject of this submission will have the same indication as the following electrodes currently on the market: |

# Safety and Performance
Verification and Validation of the VAPR Electrodes included performance testing to demonstrate that the device is appropriate for hip arthroscopy. A summary of testing is provided in Table 1.
| Table 1 | |
|-----------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Testing | Results |
| Device Insertion | Pass: No visible cracks or missing portions at the distal tip<br>of the electrodes. |
| Shaft Bending | Pass: No visible splitting of heatshrink after one cycle of<br>bending and straightening of the electrode handle and<br>shaft. |
| Active Tip Engagement | Pass: The electrodes withstood with no breakage at the<br>active tip. |

Clinical Testing
No clinical studies are required to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the device in support of an application for premarket clearance. The VAPR System and Electrodes, when used for hip arthroscopic surgeries, do not differ from the predicate devices in fundamental scientific technology.
Conclusion
Results of safety and performance and testing have demonstrated that the modified device is suitable for its intended use.
Based on the indications for use and fundamental scientific technology, the VAPR Electrodes when used the VAPR system are shown to be appropriate for arthroscopy of the hip as well as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
