Dear Jiao Liu:
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/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.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. 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

### 5. Description of the Device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)]
The Disposable Powered Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler & Reloads are sterile, single patient use instruments that simultaneously cut and staple tissue through a battery powered firing system. The Power Stapler and Reloads are sterilized by irradiation. The instruments deliver six staggered rows of staples, three on either side of the cut line.
The instruments are available in three shaft lengths: compact (192±20mm), regular (252±20mm) and long (352±20mm). The shaft can rotate freely in both directions and incorporates an articulation mechanism, which enables the distal portion of the shaft to pivot to facilitate lateral access to the operative site.
Model 30mm series include FSMS30, FSMM30, FSML30; 45mm series include FSMS45, FSMM45, FSML45; 60mm series include FSMS60, FSMM60, FSML60. The difference between the three series lies in the different anatomized lengths.
There are total 18 models of reloads within the proposed device, three stapler line length: 35.2±2.0mm,49.3±2.0mm and 61.3±2.0mm; six staple heights: Gray (0.75mm), White (1.0mm), Blue (1.5mm), Gold (1.8mm), Green (2.0mm), Black (2.3mm).
Power type: internal power supply; DC voltage 12V, rated power 40W Applied parts: Type CF Mode of operation: Non-Continuous Operation
Degree of safety when used in the presence of flammable anesthetic gas mixed with flammable anesthetic gas or nitrous oxide mixed with air: Flammable anesthetic gas that cannot be mixed with flammable anesthetic gas or nitrous oxide mixed with air .
The Disposable Powered Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler & Reloads is resistant to water ingress. Grade of waterproof: Rotating knob to the end of tubular shaft (including rotating knob) is rated IPX4; the Body is rated IPX0.

Image /page/5/Figure/1 description: The image shows a medical instrument with two labels, IPX4 and IPX0, indicating different sections of the device. IPX4 is positioned above the long, slender part of the instrument, while IPX0 is located above the handle. The instrument appears to be a type of surgical tool, possibly used for grasping or cutting tissue during medical procedures. The design includes a handle for manual operation and an extended arm with a specialized tip.
### 6. Indications For Use [21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)]
The Disposable Powered Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler & Reloads are intended for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses. The instruments have application in multiple open or minimally invasive general abdominal, gynecologic, thoracic, and pediatric surgical procedures.
### 7. Technological Characteristics [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)]
The technological characteristics are the same or very similar to the predicate device.
Surgical stapling is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate device. It is based on the use of endoscopic instrumentation for transection, resection, and/or creation of anastomoses.
The subject and predicate staplers and reloads share the following features:
- Intended Use
- Technological characteristics
- Operational principles
- Sterilization Method

### 10. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]
The Disposable Powered Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler & Reloads device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device because both devices use the same or similar technology and have the same intended use. Testing to relevant standards demonstrate the device will perform as intended. The differences between the devices are insignificant and do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness for the Disposable Powered Articulating Endoscopic Linear Cutter Stapler & Reloads device.
