Intended Use
The LapBox Tissue Containment Removal System is indicated to contain and isolate tissue during, or prior to, surgical removal and/or extracorporeal manual morcellation. Contraindications: The LapBox Tissue Containment Removal System is contraindicated for laparoscopic power morcellation during gynecologic procedures. The LapBox Containment Removal System is contraindicated for use with powered cutting devices (e.g., power morcellators, electrosurgical and laser instruments), and when, in the judgment of the physician, use of such a device would be contrary to the best interest of the patient.
Device Story
Single-use sterile tissue containment system; double-wall inflatable polyurethane chamber mounted on insertion shaft. Used in laparoscopic surgery; physician inserts shaft into abdominal cavity; deploys chamber; places organ inside; inflates chamber via external handpump; exteriorizes sleeve; attaches port to incision site; performs manual morcellation; removes port; deflates and removes chamber. Facilitates safe tissue removal; prevents potential spread of tissue during manual morcellation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, infrared spectroscopy), sterilization validation (ISO 11135), shelf-life, and mechanical performance (burst pressure, puncture force, bond strength, closure integrity, viral penetration per ASTM F 1671). Clinical simulation and training validation studies performed.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: TPU (polyurethane) film, nylon-reinforced fabric, polyurethane port. Principle: Inflatable chamber with handpump. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: EtO. Single-use. Mechanical: Puncture force, burst pressure, and closure integrity testing.
Indications for Use
Indicated for containment and isolation of tissue during or prior to surgical removal and/or extracorporeal manual morcellation. Contraindicated for laparoscopic power morcellation in gynecologic procedures and use with powered cutting devices (e.g., power morcellators, electrosurgical, laser instruments).

## Dear Bosmat Friedman:
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.

# 5.4 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The LapBox Tissue Containment Removal System is a single use sterile device. It is comprised of a double wall inflatable polyurethane chamber which is mounted on an insertion shaft and is provided with two port sizes. Once the shaft is inserted to the abdominal cavity, the chamber is deployed and the organ to be morcellated is placed within the chamber. The chamber is then inflated using an external handpump and the sleeve of the chamber is exteriorized. The selected port is then placed over the sleeve in the incision site and the organ can be manually morcellated. Once morcellation is complete, the port is removed, and the chamber is deflated and removed from the patient.
## 5.5 INDICATIONS FOR USE
The LapBox Tissue Containment Removal System is indicated to contain and isolate tissue during, or prior to, surgical removal and/or extracorporeal manual morcellation.
Contraindications: The LapBox Tissue Containment Removal System is contraindicated for laparoscopic power morcellation during gynecologic procedures. The LapBox Tissue Containment Removal System is contraindicated for use with powered cutting devices (e.g., power morcellators, electrosurgical and laser instruments), and when, in the judgment of the physician, use of such a device would be contrary to the best interest of the patient.
