Intended Use
The Voyant Open Fusion device is a bipolar, electrosurgical device indicated for use with the Voyant electrosurgical generator in open procedures where the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles is desired. The device can seal and divide vessels up to and including 5mm in diameter and tissue bundles that can be captured in the jaws of the device. The device has not been shown to be effective for tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.
Device Story
Bipolar electrosurgical instrument; used with Voyant electrosurgical generator (ESG) in open surgery. Device captures vessels/tissue bundles in jaws; delivers RF energy from generator to seal tissue; user-actuated mechanical blade divides sealed tissue. Operated by surgeons; pistol-grip handle with trigger for jaw closure and activation button. Provides hemostasis; enables vessel/tissue ligation and division. Benefits include efficient tissue sealing and division in open procedures.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Evidence based on non-clinical bench testing (simulated use, safety systems) and preclinical studies (ex vivo porcine tissue seal evaluation/burst pressures; in vivo porcine/ovine models for acute/chronic seal quality and hemostasis).
Technological Characteristics
Bipolar electrosurgical sealer-divider; pistol-grip handle; mechanical blade. RF energy source via Voyant ESG. Updated sealing surface design. Software-controlled energy delivery. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for use in open surgical procedures for ligation and division of vessels up to 5mm and tissue bundles. Contraindicated for tubal coagulation for sterilization.

- Intended Use: The Voyant Open Fusion device is a bipolar, electrosurgical device indicated for use with the Voyant electrosurgical generator in open procedures where the ligation and division of vessels and tissue bundles is desired.
The device can seal and divide vessels up to and including 5mm in diameter and tissue bundles that can be captured in the jaws of the device.
The device has not been shown to be effective for tubal sterilization or tubal coagulation for sterilization procedures, and should not be used for these procedures.
### Summary of Technological Characteristics between Subject and Predicate:
The subject device design is the same as the predicate, with the exception of an updated sealing surface design and software updates. The subject design has the same fundamental technological features and intended use as the predicate.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The subject and predicate instruments are technologically similar in size, configuration. They are designed to deliver RF energy to vessels and tissue captured between the jaws of the device for tissue fusion. Both instruments feature pistol-grip style handles with a trigger for jaw closure and button on the back of the handle for energy activation. The instruments are equipped with a mechanical, user-actuated blade for the division of sealed tissue.
# Discussion of Performance Testing:
A summary of performance testing was included to characterize the subject Open Fusion device. Testing evaluated the subject device's electrical, mechanical and functional capabilities. The subject device was also compared against the predicate to evaluate substantial equivalence with respect to performance in a laboratory setting as well as an animal model. Testing used for subject-predicate comparison focused on the seal quality evaluation and the local tissue effects of the applied RF energy in and surrounding the seal.
Non-clinical: Basic mechanical and functional capabilities were tested for the subject Open Fusion. The following is a summary of testing discussed:
- Simulated repeated use testing
- . Safety systems testing
Preclinical: Preclinical bench (ex vivo porcine vessels/tissue) and animal (in vivo porcine model) studies were summarized to evaluate system safety and to demonstrate that the subject device performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate device; namely:
- Preclinical (ex vivo)
- o Seal evaluation
- o Burst pressures
- Acute animal study (in vivo) .
- o Seal evaluation
- o Thermal damage
In addition, chronic studies (in vivo porcine and ovine models) using the subject device to evaluate seal quality and chronic hemostasis were discussed.
Clinical: This premarket notification does not rely on human clinical trial data to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
## Conclusions Drawn from Testing:
The Applied Medical Voyant Open Fusion is substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate device with respect to intended use (i.e., vessel sealing performance and local tissue effects).
