Intended Use

The MicroCutter XCHANGE™30 is intended for use in multiple open or minimally invasive surgical procedures for the transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses in small and large intestine as well as the transection of the appendix.

Device Story

MicroCutter XCHANGE 30 is a single-patient-use, cartridge-based surgical stapler. It delivers two double-staggered rows (4 rows total) of 316L stainless steel D-shaped staples while simultaneously transecting tissue. Features a 5mm diameter shaft with 360° rotation and 160° articulation. Operated by surgeons in open or minimally invasive procedures. Device uses a guided, rotating staple formation mechanism, mimicking curved needle motion. Output is a 30mm staple line. Benefits include high-strength stainless steel staples and enhanced articulation for surgical access. Device is MR-Conditional.

Clinical Evidence

Prospective, open-label, multi-center study (n=160) with 423 deployments. Primary endpoint: non-inferiority of composite severe adverse event rate (infection, leakage, bleeding, strictures) vs. historical literature control. One related severe adverse event reported (0.65%; 95% CI upper limit 3.59%). Primary endpoint met. Bench testing confirmed staple line integrity, burst pressure, and mechanical reliability.

Technological Characteristics

Cartridge-based stapler; 5mm shaft; 360° rotation; 160° articulation. Staples: 316L stainless steel, D-shaped, 30mm line length. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1. Sterilization: Gamma radiation (10^-6 SAL). Packaging: PTFE tray with Tyvek lid. Shelf life: 24 months. MR-Conditional.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing open or minimally invasive surgical procedures requiring transection, resection, or creation of anastomoses in the small and large intestine, or transection of the appendix.

Trade Name MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 # G. Legally Marketed Predicate Device(s) Autosuture™ ENDO GIA™ Universal Stapler (K111825) Ethicon Proximate™ and Endopath™ Linear Staplers (K020779) {1}------------------------------------------------ MicroCutter XCHANGE 30 # cardıca ### H. Device Description The MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 is a single patient use stapler that delivers two, double staggered rows of 316L stainless steel staples while simultaneously transecting tissue between staple rows. The staple (blue; 3.5mm) is compatible with tissue that can be compressed to 1.5mm. The staple line is approximately 30mm long with a transection length of approximately 27mm. ### I. Indications for Use The MicroCutter XCHANGE™30 is intended for use in multiple open or minimally invasive surgical procedures for the transection, and/or creation of anastomoses in small and large intestine as well as the transection of the appendix. ### J. Comparison to Predicate Device The Cardica MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 is substantially equivalent in its Indications for Use to the Covidien Autosuture™ ENDO™ GIA Stapler (K111825) and Ethicon Proximate™ Linear Staplers (K020779) in regards to the predicates' use for the transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses in surgical procedures involving gastrointestinal tissue. The Cardica MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 is substantially equivalent in design and performance specifications to the Covidien Autosuture™ ENDO™ GIA Universal Stapler trigger handle, shaft and end-effecter function (K111825) and the Ethicon Proximate™ Linear Cutters' and Staplers' staple cartridge (K020779). ### K. Technological Characteristics The Cardica MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 is a cartridge based stapling device with a 5mm diameter shaft, capable of unlimited rotation and articulation up to 160° (80° degrees in each direction) in 20° increments. Predicate devices are also cartridge based, offer varying amounts of shaft rotation (90° to unlimited rotation) and less articulation range (80° - 90° total compared to 160°). The MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 Blue Cartridge delivers a 30mm staple line consisting of two double-staggered rows (4 rows total) of D-shaped staples constructed of medical grade 316L stainless steel. The outermost rows contain 12 staples each, while the inner rows contain 13 staples each, for a total of 50 staples. Predicate devices can be used with various cartridges to deliver titanium staples ranging from 30 - 90mm, consisting of either two, double-staggered rows (4 rows total) or two, triple staggered rows (6 rows total). One of the primary differentiating factors in the design of the MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 staple is that the staples are medical grade 316L stainless steel, which is a higher strength material than titanium alloy used in other stapling products. Current B-shaped staples are formed by buckling the tines. The forces required to accomplish the buckling typically represent the peak forces during staple formation. The MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 uses a guided, rotating form. The motion through the tissue is similar to that of a curved needle. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the word "cardica" in a stylized font.

Clinical Study Information The MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 System was evaluated in a prospective, open label, multi-center study with an All-Comers enrollment of subjects requiring surgical stapling of the stomach and/or intestine. 160 subjects were enrolled and followed postoperatively for at least 30 days. 423 deployments were performed. The primary endpoint was statistical non-inferiority of composite related severe adverse event rate (composite of infection, leakage, bleeding, and strictures) in study subjects when compared to composite severe adverse event rate (composite of infection, leakage, bleeding, and strictures) as derived from a comprehensive analysis of the medical literature with regards to the comparable open and laparoscopic procedure. One (1) composite severe adverse event (composite of infection (non-dermal), leakage, bleeding, and strictures) related to the MicroCutter XCHANGE 10 30 System was reported in a total of one hundred fifty three (153) patients (0.65%). The exact upper 95% confidence limit for this rate is 3.59%. Based on these results, the primary endpoint was met. Additionally, there were 6 events reported for handsewn anastomoses and 6 events for other stapling devices in procedures in which the MicroCutter was used. These events do not factor into the calculation of the primary endpoint event rate for the MicroCutter. There is a procedural success rate of 91.5% (140/153) when the MicroCutter is used with other anastomoses modalities. | Stapler and Hand-sewn related<br>Severe Adverse Events<br>Categories | Hand-<br>sewn<br>related | Other<br>Stapler<br>related | MicroCutter<br>related | Total N | |----------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------------------|------------------------|---------| | Leakages | 0 | 2 | 0 | 2 | | Bleedings | 3 | 0 | 1 | 4 | | Infections | 1 | 2 | 0 | 3 | | Strictures | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | | Other Complications | 2 | 1 | 0 | 3 | | Total | 6 | 6 | 1 | 13 | STAPLER AND HAND-SEWN ANASTOMOSIS RELATED PRIMARY ENDPOINT EVENTS The following table depicts the tissue and number of deployments where the MicroCutter was used: | MicroCutter Tissue Use | All Sites<br>N* (%) | |--------------------------------------------|---------------------| | Anastomose small intestine to<br>stomach | 1 (0.2) | | Anastomosis of small intestine | 25 (5.9) | | Anastomosis of small intestine to<br>colon | 13 (3.1) | | Closure of enterotomy | 5 (1.2) | | Transection of appendix | 57 (13.5) | | Transection of colon | 81 (19.1) | | Transection of common bile duct | 1 (0.2) | # Page 6 - K 132581 Cardica Response {6}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/6/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for "cardica".

Conclusions The MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 Stapler and Blue Cartridge have been carefully compared to legally marketed devices with respect to intended use and technological characteristics. In addition, clinical and non-clinical testing was conducted to validate the performance of the device and ensure the MicroCutter XCHANGE™ 30 Stapler and Blue Cartridge function as intended and meet design specifications. The comparison, clinical and non-clinical results demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices for its intended use.
