Intended Use
The Vasoview Hemopro 3 System is indicated for use in minimally invasive surgery allowing access for vessel harvesting and is primarily indicated for patients undergoing endoscopic surgery for arterial bypass. It is indicated for cutting tissue and controlling bleeding through coagulation, and for patients requiring blunt dissection of tissue including dissection of blood vessels, dissection of blood vessels of the extremities, dissection of ducts and other structures in the extraperitoneal or subcutaneous extremity and thoracic space. Extremity procedures include tissue dissection/vessel harvesting along the saphenous vein for use in coronary artery bypass grafting and peripheral artery bypass or the radial artery for use in coronary artery bypass grafting. Thoracoscopic procedures include exposure and dissection of structures external to the parietal pleura, including nerves, blood vessels and other tissues of the chest wall. The Vasoview Hemopro 3 Power Supply is used in conjunction with the Vasoview Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System.
Device Story
The Vasoview Hemopro 3 is an endoscopic vessel harvesting system used in minimally invasive surgery. It consists of a harvesting cannula with four lumens housing an endoscope, a C-Ring for vessel cradling and lens washing, and a harvesting tool. The harvesting tool, powered by a dedicated DC power supply, utilizes heat and pressure via heating elements in its jaws to cut and cauterize tissue and blood vessels; it does not use radiofrequency energy. Operated by a surgeon under endoscopic visualization, the device allows for precise dissection and hemostasis. The system benefits patients by enabling minimally invasive access for vessel harvesting, reducing the trauma associated with traditional open harvesting techniques. The power supply provides the necessary energy for the tool's heating elements, which are controlled by an activation toggle on the handle.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical testing was conducted. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including mechanical and thermal characterization of the modified C-Ring, durability testing, and extreme use cadaver testing.
Technological Characteristics
Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation accessory. Powered by direct current (DC) via a dedicated power supply. Features a four-lumen cannula, C-Ring, and harvesting tool with three heating elements (two cauterization, one cutting). Insulation protects adjacent tissue. Standards referenced: ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, IEC 60601-1-6, ISO 14971, ISO 11137-3, ASTM D4169-22.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for arterial bypass, including saphenous vein or radial artery harvesting for coronary or peripheral artery bypass grafting. Also indicated for blunt dissection of blood vessels, ducts, and tissues in extraperitoneal, subcutaneous extremity, and thoracic spaces, and thoracoscopic exposure/dissection of chest wall structures.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

Dear Brad Sheals:
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 (the 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 available 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.

# Device Description:
The Vasoview Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System is designed for use in conjunction with the 7 mm Endoscope. The Harvesting Cannula has four lumens which house the Endoscope, C-Ring, distal lens washer tube, and Vasoview Hemopro 3 Harvesting Tool for cutting and cauterization of vessel branches. The C-Ring with the built-in distal lens washer is independently controlled by a C-Ring Slider on the handle of the Harvesting Cannula. The C-Ring cradles the vessel and delivers the saline that washes the distal tip of the Endoscope.
The Harvesting Tool can be inserted, removed, rotated, extended, and retracted from the main Harvesting Cannula through the Tool Adapter Port.
The Harvesting Tool is powered by direct current only; it does not utilize radiofrequency energy. The Harvesting Tool cuts and cauterizes through a process of heat and pressure. The Harvesting Tool has two curved Jaws. One of the Jaws contains the heating elements for branch cutting and cauterization and spot cautery. There are three heating elements: two cauterization elements and a cutting element between them. Both Jaws have insulation protecting the adjacent tissue. The concave side of the Jaws has a larger buffer of insulation and should, therefore, be positioned toward sensitive tissue during Jaw activation. An area near the tip of the convex side of the Jaw can be used for spot cautery to cauterize tissue contacted by that area of the Jaw.
The Activation Toggle is used to control the Jaws and to activate the heating elements. Positioning of the device, cutting, and cauterization are performed under endoscopic visualization. This device is intended for specific use with the Vasoview Hemopro 3 Power Supply.
Model numbers applicable to the Vasoview Hemopro 3 System are:
- VH-6000 – Vasoview Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System
- VH-6001 – Vasoview Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System with Vasoshield

# Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Devices:
The subject device (Vasoview Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System) has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as those of the predicate devices:
- The same intended use
- The same operating principles
- The same basic design
- The same sterilization method
- The same sterile packaging material
The subject device incorporates the following modifications:
- Material change to the C-Ring component of the Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System Cannula
The design verification/validation testing demonstrates that the modification to the Hemopro 3 Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting System has similar technological characteristics compared to the predicate devices, or in the case where differences are noted, such differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Such conclusions are also supported by the successful design verification and validation conducted and included in the submission.
# Summary of Nonclinical and/or Clinical Tests:
Testing was performed to demonstrate that the material change to the C-Ring component of the Hemopro 3 System's Cannula subassembly does not affect the device's ability to perform as intended. No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing.
# Bench Testing
The following design verification and validation tests were conducted:
- Mechanical and Thermal Characterization of C-Rings
