Intended Use
The Dissecting Balloon System is indicated for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery requiring tissue separation of the extraperitoneal space.
Device Story
Dissecting Balloon System facilitates tissue plane separation during laparoscopic surgery. System components: introducer for incision insertion; dissecting cannula with inflatable balloon (oval or round configurations); manual inflation bulb. Compatible with 10mm endoscope for visualization. Used in clinical settings by surgeons. Surgeon inserts device, manually inflates balloon to create space in extraperitoneal region, and uses endoscope to monitor progress. Output is physical tissue separation; enables subsequent surgical procedures. Benefits include controlled, blunt dissection of tissue planes.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Side-by-side performance testing compared subject and predicate devices for device insertion, tissue separation, surgical site visualization, and balloon deflation/removal. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-1 for cytotoxicity, intracutaneous irritation, sensitization, and acute systemic toxicity; all materials found biocompatible.
Technological Characteristics
Blunt dissection balloon system. Components: introducer, dissecting cannula, inflatable balloon (oval/round), manual inflation bulb. Compatible with 10mm endoscope. Subject round balloon includes perforated sheath. Sterile. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery requiring tissue separation of the extraperitoneal space.

Dear Corinne Yestrepsky:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/ofdocs/ofpmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

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) for

#### The Dissecting Balloon System is indicated for patients Indications for use: undergoing laparoscopic surgery requiring tissue separation of the extraperitoneal space.
### Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The subject and predicate device systems are both blunt dissection balloons intended to separate tissue planes in the extraperitoneal space. Both systems contain an introducer, dissecting cannula with attached balloon, and inflation bulb. The subject and predicate systems are both offered in two balloon configurations (oval and round). Furthermore, each system is compatible with a 10mm endoscope to facilitate visualization of tissue separation.
The subject device system differs from the predicate in that the subject round balloon is encased in a perforated sheath to facilitate insertion where the predicate round balloon is not. Both the predicate and subject oval balloons are encased in a sheath.
## Discussion of Performance Testing
The following performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
#### Biocompatibility
The biocompatibility evaluation for Applied Medical's Dissecting Balloon System was conducted in accordance with the FDA's guidance document. Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process." The subject device contacts tissue for a duration of less than 24 hours, so the following endpoints were considered and all materials were found to be biocompatible.
- Cytotoxicity
- Intracutaneous Irritation
- Sensitization
- Acute Systemic Toxicity
#### Functional Performance
Side-by-side bench top testing was performed with the subject and predicate device systems to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The bench top tests were designed to focus on the functional performance of a blunt dissection balloon device. Both subject and predicate device systems were evaluated for:
- . Device insertion
- Tissue separation ●
- . Surgical site visualization
- Balloon deflation and device removal ●
{5}------------------------------------------------
## Conclusion
Results of testing demonstrate that the subject Dissecting Balloon System is substantially equivalent to the predicate Preperitoneal Distention Balloon System, and that the subject device performs comparably to the current marketed device for the same intended use.
