Indications for Use

The SurgiQuest AirSeal® iFS System is intended for use in diagnostic and/or therapeutic endoscopic procedures to distend a cavity by filling it with gas, to establish and maintain a path of entry for endoscopic instruments and to evacuate surgical smoke.

Device Story

The SurgiQuest AirSeal iFS System is an active, microprocessor-controlled insufflation, recirculation, and filtration unit used in hospitals and clinics. It comprises a reusable insufflator unit and single-use sterile components (trocar, cannula, tube sets). The device operates in three modes: Insufflation, AirSeal, and Smoke Evacuation. It inputs gas (CO2) to distend body cavities and maintains pressure during instrument insertion/manipulation via a gas-sealed path. The system continuously monitors and regulates cavity pressure, automatically venting to maintain set parameters. Physicians use the device to provide a stable, clear surgical field by managing pneumoperitoneum and removing smoke. This improves visualization and instrument access, potentially reducing surgical time and complications during minimally invasive procedures.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evidence included a literature review of four studies (Cerfolio et al. 2016, Gonde et al. 2017, Kneuertz et al. 2017, Suda et al. 2014) involving 71 patients undergoing robotically-assisted or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. No adverse events were reported. Bench testing verified system specifications, including pressure maintenance, automatic mode switching, and smoke evacuation performance.

Technological Characteristics

Microprocessor-controlled insufflation, recirculation, and filtration unit. Components include sterile, single-use trocar, cannula, and tube sets. Complies with AAMI ANSI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-2-18, and ISO 10993 series for biocompatibility. Sterilization via ethylene oxide or radiation per ISO 11135/11137. Connectivity includes digital pressure regulation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for thoracoscopic and laparoscopic procedures to distend abdominal or thoracic cavities with gas, create/maintain gas-sealed obstruction-free instrument paths, and evacuate surgical smoke. Also indicated for rectal and colonic insufflation to facilitate endoscopic observation, diagnosis, and treatment. Trocar indicated for use with or without visualization.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A laparoscopic insufflator is a device used to facilitate the use of the laparoscope by filling the peritoneal cavity with gas to distend it.

Dear Michael Daniel:

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, 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 device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);
