Intended Use
Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips are intended for use in procedures involving ligation of vessels or tissue structures. Surgeons should apply the appropriate size clip for the size of the vessel or tissue structure to be ligated such that the clip completely encompasses the vessel or tissue structure.
Device Story
Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips are single-use, non-absorbable acetyl polymer clips used for vessel or tissue ligation in general surgical procedures. Clips are provided in color-coded cartridges. System includes manual, reusable clip appliers and removers for open and endoscopic surgery. Surgeons manually apply clips to encompass vessels or tissue. Device is MR Safe. Modifications include MR safety claims, updated cleaning/sterilization instructions for reusable instruments, three-clip configuration, and packaging material changes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Validations performed for packaging (ISO 11607-1:2006) and cleaning/sterilization processes for reusable appliers and removers.
Technological Characteristics
Non-absorbable acetyl polymer implantable clips. Available in four sizes. Manual clip appliers and removers. MR Safe. Patient-contacting materials compliant with ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for ligation of vessels or tissue structures during general surgical procedures. Contraindicated for use as a contraceptive tubal occlusion device and for ligation of the renal artery during laparoscopic donor nephrectomies.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An implantable clip is a clip-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.

#### E. Device Description
Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips are single-use, non-active implantable devices designed for use in general surgical procedures that require vessel or tissue ligation. The clips are available in four sizes (Medium, Medium-Large, Extra Large), allowing the end user to ligate a wide range of vessels and tissue structures. Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips are manufactured from a non-absorbable acetyl polymer and are provided prepackaged in color-coded cartridges, which are provided as single-use, sterile devices.
Accessories to the Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips include manual clip appliers and removers for use in both general open and endoscopic procedures. Both the appliers and removers are multiple use, non-sterile devices that require cleaning and sterilization prior to each use.

### J. Comparison To Predicate Devices
The proposed Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips have the same technology and functional characteristics as the predicate systems. The proposed modifications include the addition of magnetic resonance (MR Safe) claims, addition of cleaning and sterilization instructions for reusable instrumentation, the addition of a three-clip configuration, and a change in packaging materials.
#### K. Materials
All patient contacting materials are in compliance with ISO10993-1.
### L. Technological Characteristics
A comparison of the technological characteristics of the proposed Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips and the predicates has been performed. The results of this comparison demonstrate that the Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips are equivalent to the marketed predicate devices.

#### M. Performance Data
Non-clinical performance testing has been conducted in accordance with ISO 11607-1:2006, Packaging for Terminally Sterilized Medical Devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems in order to support changes to the materials used to package the Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips. In addition, cleaning and sterilization validations were performed to assess manual and automated cleaning processes as well as pre-vacuum and gravity steam sterilization processes for Hem-o-lok® manual, reusable clip appliers and removers.
#### N. Conclusion
Based upon the comparative test results, the proposed Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips are substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate devices cleared to market via 510(k) K062914 and K030311. The modifications made to the proposed Hem-o-lok® Ligating Clips do not introduce any new issues of safety and effectiveness.
