Intended Use
The Snowden-Pencer MicroLap 3mm Laparoscopic Instruments are indicated to be used in laparoscopic and other minimally invasive procedures for cutting, clamping, grasping, suturing and dissecting and to allow high frequency monopolar cutting and coagulation.
Device Story
Snowden-Pencer MicroLap 3mm Laparoscopic Instruments are reusable, two-piece modular surgical tools consisting of a handle and an insert assembly (shaft and end-effector). Designed for use in laparoscopic and minimally invasive procedures, these instruments are operated by surgeons to perform tissue manipulation and electrosurgical tasks. The device connects to an external electrosurgical generator to deliver monopolar energy for cutting and coagulation. Available in various lengths, handle styles (ring, pistol-grip, in-line), and jaw patterns (scissors, clamps, graspers, dissectors, needle holders), the instruments provide tactile feedback and mechanical control during surgery. By enabling precise tissue interaction and energy delivery, the device assists in surgical dissection and hemostasis, potentially reducing trauma and improving procedural efficiency compared to manual methods.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical tests were conducted for this submission. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including mechanical strength, pneumoperitoneum maintenance, electrosurgical safety, cleaning/sterilization validation, and biocompatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Reusable two-piece modular system; 3mm diameter. Materials: Stainless steel, Radel (PPSU), Tungsten Carbide, Silver braze, 3M DP490, Marabu Tampapur TPU 970, Loctite, Santoprene, EPDM rubber, Kraton. Energy: Monopolar electrosurgical (1.5 kVp). Sterilization: Pre-vacuum steam. Standards: IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-2-2, IEC 60601-2-18, ISO 10993, AAMI TIR12/30, ANSI AAMI ST79/ST81.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing laparoscopic or minimally invasive surgical procedures requiring cutting, clamping, grasping, suturing, dissecting, or monopolar electrosurgical cutting and coagulation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
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.

Dear Ms.Weber:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
