Device Story

EndoWrist Stapler 45 is a reusable surgical stapler system designed for use with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000). It utilizes single-use cartridges (reloads) containing implantable staples in 2.5mm, 3.5mm, or 4.3mm sizes. The device is operated by a surgeon via the da Vinci console to perform tissue resection, transection, and anastomosis creation. It places multiple staggered rows of staples while simultaneously cutting tissue along the center of the staple line. Accessories include cannulae, obturators, seals, and reducers to facilitate interface with the robotic system. Used in OR settings for General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic procedures. The system provides precise, robotically-assisted stapling, potentially improving surgical outcomes through controlled tissue manipulation and consistent staple line formation.

Clinical Evidence

Bench, animal, and cadaver testing performed. Bench testing included dimensional, mechanical, functional, electrical safety, and EMC assessments per IEC standards. Animal studies (small bowel anastomosis, gastrectomy, lung resection, pneumonectomy) compared subject and predicate devices, evaluating staple formation, staple line integrity, and transection performance. Burst pressure and buttress material compatibility were also verified. Summative usability validation studies were conducted in simulated OR environments with surgeons and staff, confirming safe and effective use.

Technological Characteristics

Reusable robotic surgical stapler system. Components: EndoWrist Stapler 45, single-use staple reloads (2.5mm, 3.5mm, 4.3mm), and accessories (cannulae, obturators, seals). Designed for exclusive use with da Vinci IS4000 system. Mechanical stapling and cutting principle. Electrical safety and EMC per IEC standards. Sterilization method not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000) for resection, transection, and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery. Compatible with staple line or tissue buttressing material (natural or synthetic).

## Device Description

.

The Intuitive Surgical EndoWrist Stapler 45, Stapler 45 Reloads and Accessories is a reusable surgical stapler system designed for use exclusively with the Intuitive da Vincio Surgical System (Model IS4000). It is intended for resection, transection and/or creation of anastomoses in General, Thoracic, Gynecologic, and Urologic surgery by placing multiple staggered rows of implantable staples in the target tissues (stapling) followed by cutting of the target tissue along the middle of the staple line (transection).

{1}------------------------------------------------

The implantable staples, trade name Stapler 45 Reloads, are provided in a separate single use cartridge and are available in the following three configurations to accommodate tissues of various thickness:

- 2.5 mm staple size single use reload (White Reload) .
- . 3.5 mm staple size single use reload (Blue Reload)
- 4.3 mm staple size single use reload (Green Reload)

Accessories, including cannulae, obturators, a cannula seal, and a cannula reducer, are provided to support the interface of the EndoWrist Stapler 45 with the da Vinci Surgical System (Model IS4000).
