The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is intended to warm and humidify carbon dioxide gas from an insufflator prior to entry into the surgical cavity during laparoscopic surgery.
Device Story
HumiGard Surgical Humidification System warms and humidifies CO2 gas for laparoscopic surgery; system comprises reusable SH870 Humidifier and single-use sterile ST520 Insufflation Kit. CO2 gas from external insufflator passes through water-filled chamber on humidifier heater plate; heated water produces vapor to humidify gas. Heated insufflation tube with internal heater wire maintains gas temperature and humidity during delivery to patient interface (trocar/cannula). Embedded software in SH870 controls humidifier power and heating functions. Used in surgical settings; operated by clinical staff. Output is heated, humidified CO2 gas; helps maintain patient physiological conditions during insufflation. Benefits include reduced potential for desiccation or thermal injury to internal tissues.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data included. Substantial equivalence based on bench testing, including temperature output, humidity output, flow rate, leak rate, compliance, enthalpy, surface temperature, condensation, and connection strength. Biocompatibility testing (cytotoxicity, irritation, sensitization) per ISO 10993-1, -5, -10. Software validation per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
System includes reusable humidifier and ETO-sterilized (SAL 10^-6) disposable kit. Materials: HDPE, Polycarbonate, Polyolefin Elastomer, LDPE, PP, Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer, PVC, K-resin, PS, TPE, Aluminium, Silicon. Sensing/actuation: Heater plate and heated tubing wire. Connectivity: Standalone. Software: Embedded, moderate level of concern. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, ISO 10993, ISO 11607, ISO 11135.

#### 1.1. Device Description
The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is designed to warm and humidify carbon dioxide (CQ>) gas after it leaves a commercially available insufflator (used to requlate the supply of CO2 gas into the intended body cavity) and thereafter maintain the CO2 gas in a warmed and humidified condition to the point of delivery into the patient's peritoneum via heated tubing.
The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is comprised of a reusable Humidifier (SH870 Humidifier), supply voltage cord (115V or 230V) and the single use, sterile Humidified Insufflation Kit (ST520).
The ST520 Insufflation Kit is ETO sterilized (SAL 10th) and provides all of the necessary components needed to deliver the heated, humidified CO2 gas during laparoscopic surgical procedures, including the insufflation tube, chamber, dry-line/filter assembly, funnel, and optional barb connector.
The SH870 Humidifier contains embedded software that controls the operation of the humidifier power and functions.
The HumiGard™ system conditions the CO2 gas by using a water-filled chamber that is seated on a heater plate on the humidifier. Once the heater plate warms to the target temperature, the heated water in the chamber produces vapour that humidifies the gas as it passes through the chamber. The surgical humidifier also provides power to the heating element (i.e., the heaterwire) within the heated insufflation tube to maintain the desired heat and humidity of the CO2 gas as it travels from the chamber to the patient interface (trocar/cannula).
#### 1.2. Intended Use
The HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is intended to warm and humidify carbon dioxide gas from an insufflator prior to entry into the surgical cavity during laparoscopic surgery.

#### Technological Characteristics Comparison 1.4.
The primary differences between the HumiGard™ system and predicate Insuflow device are the point at which the water is humidified and the method used to humidify the CO2 gas.
The HumiGard™ system humidifies the CO2 gas proximal to the gas source, while the gas is humidified proximal to the patient with the Insuflow device.
The HumiGard™ system conditions the gas from the control unit by using a water-filled chamber that is seated on a heating plate. Once the heater plate warms to the target temperature, the heated water in the chamber produces vapour that humidifies the CO2 gas as it passes through the chamber. The Insuflow laparoscopic gas conditioning device provides humidification directly within the disposable filter heater/humidifier tubing set. The tubing set includes a heating mechanism, a small water chamber, and a "wick" of moistened material through which the heated CO2 gas passes and is thus humidified.

#### 1.5. Non-Clinical Performance Data
Testing for the HumiGard™ system was conducted in accordance with the following standards:
| Standard | Title |

| ISO 10993-5:2009/(R)<br>2014 | Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 5: Tests for In Vitro<br>cytotoxicity |
| ANSI/AAMI/ISO11607-1:<br>2006 | Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices. Requirements for<br>materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems |
{7}------------------------------------------------
| ANSI/AAMI/ISO11607-2:<br>2006 | Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices -- Part 2: Validation<br>requirements for forming, sealing and assembly processes |
|-------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| | ISO 11737-2:2009 |
| ISO 11135:2014 | |
Test results demonstrate that the HumiGard™ system conforms to the above-referenced standards.
Biocompatibility evaluation of cytotoxicity, irritation and sensitization for the ST520 kit was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance document "Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, 'Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" (June 2016). The results of the biocompatibility testing were acceptable.
The HumiGard™ system software verification and validation testing were conducted and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices." The software for this device was considered as a "moderate" level of concern, since it a failure of the device software could result in minor injury prior to mitigation of hazards, either to a patient or to a user of the device. The software validation documentation provided was complete and acceptable.
Performance verification testing of the HumiGard™ system consisted of temperature output, humidity output, flow rate, leak rate, compliance, maximum delivered enthalpy, surface temperature of the tubing, condensation, and outlet connection strength. The verification testing demonstrated that the device performs as intended and met appropriate acceptance criteria.
The results of the comparative bench testing demonstrate that the performance of the HumiGard™ system with respect to these key performance characteristics are comparable to the predicate Insuflow device.
#### 1.6. Clinical Performance Data
Substantial equivalence was did not include an assessment of clinical performance data.
#### 1.7. Conclusions
Based on the same intended use, different technological characteristics that do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness and acceptable performance testing, the HumiGard™ Surgical Humidification System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate Insuflow device.
