LigaSure Vessel Sealing System (Product Code GEI) 510(k) #K043273 #### Device Description An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device (and accessories) is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current (see 21 CFR §878.4400). It is classified as a Class II (510(k)) device. The Open FMsealer is a device intended for sealing of vessels and for soft tissue cutting and coagulation. The device is designed to be used only with the FMwand Generator (K130606). The two-piece device consists of a sterile, single-use patient-contacting shears section (Open FMsealer) and an accessory cable (Power Module or PM) that connects the FMsealer to the generator. The dual footpedal connects to the rear of the generator and can be used to activate the FMsealer if desired by the user. The Open FMsealer is a hand-held surgical instrument intended for use in open surgical procedures where ligation of vessels or cutting and coagulation of soft tissue is desired. The Open FMsealer consists of a scissor-like handle with two actuation buttons and jaws to grasp the tissue to be affected. The Open FMsealer is connected to the FMwand Generator (K130606) by the Power Module. The connectors on both ends of the Power Module are designed to fit only the FMwand Generator and FMwand sterile, disposable accessories. The power module and FMwand Generator were previously cleared as part of K130606. This system creates sealing, cutting and coagulation by the application of heat and compression to tissue bundles and vessels interposed between the iaws of the instrument. Like the predicate device, the Open FMsealer includes actuation buttons that can be used to activate the device. The Open FMsealer has been shown (in animal studies) to cut and seal vessels up to and including 7mm in diameter, lymphatics and tissue bundles as large as will fit into the jaws of the device. #### Technological Comparison The Open FMsealer employs ferromagnetic induction to generate heat in the tip. This method of heat generation is identical technology as the FMwand Ferromagnetic Surgical System (K130606), and differs from the LigaSure System which uses the resistance of the target tissue and electrical current to produce the heat necessary for cutting and sealing (bipolar electrosurgery). {1}------------------------------------------------ | Performance Feature | Open FMsealer | LigaSure Vessel Sealing System | FMwand Ferromagnetic Surgical System | |--------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Manufacturer | Domain Surgical, Inc. | Covidian AG | Domain Surgical, Inc. | | 510(k) Number | To be assigned | K043273 | K130606 | | Prescription/OTC | Prescription Only | Prescription Only | Prescription Only | | Product Code | GEI | GEI | GEI | | Classification Regulation | 21 CFR 878.4400 | 21 CFR 878.4400 | 21 CFR 878.4400 | | Basis Intended Use | Sealing, cutting and coagulation of soft tissue | Sealing, cutting and coagulation of soft tissue | Cutting and coagulation of soft tissue | | Heat Generation Method | Ferromagnetic induction provides an elevated temperature surface which will cauterize soft tissue as it seals and cuts. | Application of bipolar electrosurgical energy to tissue interposed between the jaws of the instrument. | Ferromagnetic induction provides an elevated temperature blade which will cauterize tissue as it cuts. | | Operational Control Method | Controlled power delivered to tip of connected accessory | Controlled power delivered to tip of connected accessory | Controlled power delivered to tip of connected accessory | | Mode of Operation | Intermittent Operation | Intermittent Operation | Intermittent Operation | | Output Type | Type CF | Type CF | Type CF | | Treatment Modality | Vessel sealing, cutting and/or coagulation using heat combined with compression of the target tissues between the jaws of the instrument. | Vessel sealing, cutting and/or coagulation using heat combined with compression of the target tissues between the jaws of the instrument. | Cutting and/or coagulation using conducted heat from an elevated temperature handpiece tip. | | Bench Testing | The Open FMsealer passed all bench tests performed including testing on animals and animal tissues to show vessel sealing strength. | Preclinical studies were performed to show vessel sealing strength. | The FMwand Ferromagnetic Surgical System passed all bench tests performed | | Meets applicable sections of IEC 60601-2-2 | Yes.
