Intended Use

The CQ ENCE Circular Staplers have application throughout the alimentary tract for the creation of end-to-end, side-to-side and end-to-side anastomoses in both open and laparoscopic surgeries.

Device Story

Sterile, single-use, hand-held, non-powered circular stapler; used in general surgery for alimentary tract anastomoses. Device places double-staggered circular row of titanium staples while simultaneously resecting tissue. Surgeon manually activates device via trigger; controls tissue compression by varying closed staple height. Features include anvil, cartridge, instrument shaft, trigger, safety release, wing nut, staple height indicator, and ancillary trocar. Audible indicator clicks when device is fully open for safe removal. Used in OR by surgeons; provides mechanical tissue joining and resection. Benefits include standardized anastomosis creation and adjustable compression for varying tissue requirements.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data demonstrated compliance with specifications for visual inspection, dimensional analysis, staple form, and safety mechanism performance, consistent with predicate K120179.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: ASTM F 67 unalloyed titanium staples; polycarbonate and stainless steel end effector; stainless steel shaft; polycarbonate handle. Lubricant: PTFE and silicone grease. Energy: Manual. Dimensions: 21mm, 25mm, 28mm, 31mm, 34mm head diameters; 27cm or 35cm shaft lengths. Sterilization: EtO (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity: None (mechanical).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring alimentary tract anastomoses (end-to-end, side-to-side, end-to-side) in open or laparoscopic surgeries.

Regulatory Classification

PREDICATE DEVICE REACHTM Circular Staplers, (K120179) #### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The REACH™ and SeCQure CO'ENCE™ Circular Staplers (CO'ENCE™ Circular Staplers) are sterile, single-use, hand-held, non-powered stapling devices used during general surgical procedures for the creation of end-to-end, side-to-side and end-to-side anastomoses in both open and laparoscopic surgeries. The Circular Staplers place a double-staggered, circular row of titanium staples while simultaneously resecting tissue when the device is manually activated. The device is provided in five head diameter sizes: 34mm, 31mm, 28mm, 25mm, and 21mm (product codes CS34, CS31, CS28, CS25, and CS21 respectively). Each size device can be purchased with a standard 27cm length shaft. The CS21 and SC25 can also be purchased with a longer, 35cm shaft (product codes CS21L, CS25L) to facilitate surgeon access to desired tissues. The CQ 'ENCE™ Circular Stapler allows the surgeon to control tissue compression by varying the closed staple height. The CQ ENCE Circular Stapler forms traditional B-shaped staples that are comprised of titanium. Safe removal of the device is facilitated by opening the instrument one full the Audible Indicator makes a clicking sound. #### V. INDICATIONS FOR USE {4}------------------------------------------------ The CQ ENCE Circular Staplers have application throughout the alimentary tract for the creation of endto-end, side-to-side and end-to-side anastomoses in both open and laparoscopic surgeries. ### VI.

Reach™ Circular Stapler performance bench testing was provided in K120179. Testing for the Reach™ and CQ 'ENCE™ Circular Stapler is provided in Section 018 - Performance Testing - Bench of this submission to the same specifications as the Reach™ Circular Stapler previously provided in K120179. The data demonstrates that the Reach™ and CQ ENCE™ Circular Stapler meets the same specifications for visual inspection, dimensional analysis, staple form and safety mechanism performance. The materials used in the device, packaging, and sterilization method remain unchanged. ### VIII. CONCLUSIONS The CQ 'ENCE™ Circular Stapler has the same intended use and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor differences in technological characteristics do not change the device use or application and have been tested to the same standards as the currently marketed devices. There are no new issues of safety or effectiveness. The CQ ENCE™ Circular Stapler is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
