The Insufflator (OPTO-IFL1000) is intended to generate and maintain pneumoperitoneum by filling the abdominal cavity with gas to distend it during diagnostic or therapeutic laparoscopic procedures.
Device Story
The Insufflator (OPTO-IFL1000) is a CO2 insufflation device used in clinical settings to create and maintain pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery. It connects to a CO2 gas source and delivers gas through specialized insufflation tubes (with or without heating) into the abdominal cavity. The device monitors intra-abdominal pressure and flow rates, automatically adjusting gas delivery to maintain a set pressure and compensate for leaks. It features multiple operational modes (Pediatric, Adult, Obese, Veress) with specific pressure and flow limits. The device provides visual and audible alarms for overpressure, gas supply depletion, overheating, and fluid contamination. Healthcare providers use the device interface to set parameters and monitor real-time pressure/flow data. By maintaining a stable surgical field of view and operating space, the device facilitates laparoscopic access for surgeons, potentially reducing procedural complexity and improving patient outcomes.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Verification included electromagnetic compatibility (IEC 60601-1-2:2020) and performance testing of gas supply, pressure/flow accuracy, leakage compensation, overpressure/overheating alarms, and heating function. Software verification and validation were performed per FDA guidance for 'Enhanced' documentation level.
Technological Characteristics
CO2 insufflator; 110-240V power; dimensions 370x410x166.5mm; weight 11kg. Features include heating function (OPTO-T1000H tubing), pressure range 1-30 mmHg, flow rate 0.1-50 L/min. Software-controlled with multiple modes (Pediatric, Adult, Obese, Veress). Sterilization: Steam sterilization for insufflation tubes. Connectivity: Standalone device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic laparoscopic procedures requiring pneumoperitoneum via abdominal gas distension.

Dear Weijuan Guo:
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: The Center for Devices and Radiological Health (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, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

## VIII. Performance data
Non-clinical tests were conducted to verify that the subject device met all design specifications as is Substantially Equivalent (SE) to the predicate device. The test results demonstrated that the subject device complies with the following standards:
- IEC 60601-1-2:2020 Edition 4.1 Medical electrical equipment - Part 1-2: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance - Collateral Standard: Electromagnetic disturbances
The reference device is the previous version of the subject device, without modes. The operation of the subject hardware is unchanged from the reference device. Therefore, electrical safety information from the reference device is leveraged to support the electrical safety of the subject device.
Per the FDA guidance document *Content of Premarket Submissions for Device Software Functions*, issued June 2024, the software verification and validation testing were conducted and the test results demonstrated the software function met the requirements. The software for this device was considered a “Enhanced” software documentation level.
Performance testing was also conducted and demonstrated that the proposed system performs according to specifications and functions as intended and substantially equivalent to the predicate device. And the test result shows that the preset acceptance criteria are met and are substantially equivalent to the predicate device performance:
1. Gas Supply Indication
2. Accuracy of the Pressure
3. Accuracy of the Pressure-Under Leak Condition (Continuous leakage compensation testing)
4. Overpressure Alarm
5. Overpressure Reduction
6. Under-pressure Replenishment (Transient leakage compensation testing)
