Indications for Use
LAP-iX2N is a sterile, single-patient-use electrosurgical accessory intended to conduct electrosurgical current for cutting and coagulation of tissue and/or to provide suction and irrigation functions to the surgical site.
Device Story
LAP-iX2N is a sterile, single-use electrosurgical accessory for laparoscopic/endoscopic procedures; connects to external electrosurgical generators and suction/irrigation pumps. Device features two handle designs (Pistol, Trumpet) and three electrode tips (L-HOOK, J-HOOK, SPOON). Operates by conducting high-frequency monopolar energy to tissue to generate heat via bio-resistance for cutting/coagulation; simultaneously delivers irrigation fluids or evacuates blood/fluids to improve visualization. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Output is controlled by the generator (max 100W, 1,150 Vpeak). Benefits include improved surgical site visualization and efficient tissue management. Design refinements (handle/tube dimensions) improve ergonomics; compatibility with standard Ø10mm/Ø7mm/Ø4mm connectors ensures integration into existing surgical workflows.

Dear Jinho Kim:
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.

## 06. Device Description
The LAP-iX2N provides suction or irrigation and conducts high-frequency monopolar electrosurgical energy from compatible electrosurgical generators to a surgical site during laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures.
It delivers sterile irrigation fluids to surgical site and evacuates blood and body fluids from the surgical site to aid visualization. They are used during endoscopic, and laparoscopic surgical procedures to ablate, remove, resect, and coagulate soft tissue where associated hemostasis is required.
Depending on the shape of the handle, there are two types, PISTOL Type and TRUMPET Type. PISTOL Type has pistol grip handle design. TRUMPET Type has Trumpet grip handle design.
The electrode offers three types: L-HOOK, SPOON and J-HOOK Type. All three electrode types are compatible with the PISTOL Type and the TRUMPET Type. The L-Hook & J-Hook electrode tip has a sharp contact surface that facilitates cutting especially for thin and long tissue. The SPOON electrode tip is mainly used for large area tissue and also for hemostasis procedure as well.
The maximum peak voltage shall not exceed 1,150 Vpeak. The electrosurgical generator should be set to the lowest effective power setting and should not exceed 100W. The connector of the subject device is compatible with all suction/irrigation pumps and electrosurgical generator in the market which have the connecting tubes or connectors of Ø10mm (Suction), Ø7mm(Irrigation) and Ø4mm(Electrode). All equipment conforming to this specs can be used.

The subject device described in this 510(k) has the same intended use and the same technical characteristics as the unmodified device (LAP-iX, K200639). The subject device and the predicate devices are substantially equivalent, having the same indications for use and the technological characteristics. The modifications are material change and physical dimensions. Based on the test results submitted in this 510K, we conclude that these differences do not raise a question in safety and effectiveness and the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

#### Note. 1
The subject device specifies an output voltage of 1,150 Vpeak, whereas the predicate device lists 175Vrms(300Ω).
Although the numerical values differ, this is primarily due to the difference in how generator output voltage is represented, not necessarily due to an intrinsic performance discrepancy.
The predicate device adopts an RMS(Root Mean Square) voltage representation, which has historically been common in the electrosurgical device field, particularly in older U.S. market submissions.
The Vrms Valued reflects the equivalent heating effect(average power) of the waveform and is sometimes preferred for clinical interpretability, especially when generator output settings are based on average tissue effect.
However, the Vrms representation has inherent limitations.
It does not accurately capture the peak energy delivered in high-frequency, non-sinusoidal waveforms(e.g., pulsed or modulated waveforms).
It can underestimate peak voltage stress, which is critical in evaluating electrical safety parameters such as high-frequency leakage current.
In contrast, the subject device uses a Vpeak(peak voltage) representation, which is more appropriate for the following reasons:
It aligns with IEC 60601-2-2, which defines and evaluates HF leakage current using Vpeak.
It accurately reflects the maximum electrical stress applied to the patient circuit, which is important in the context of safety and insulation design.
It is the preferred unit when standardizing generator output for regulatory and test purposes.
For consistency in comparison, the 175Vrms output of the predicate device corresponds to approximately 247.5Vpeak(Vrms x $\sqrt{2}$). While the subject device’s maximum output voltage is higher, both devices are within the acceptable limits of HF leakage current and meet the requirements of IEC 60601-2-2. Furthermore, their clinical effects and methods of energy delivery are comparable, supporting a conclusion of substantial equivalence despite the difference in voltage representation.
#### Note .2
Although there are minor differences in physical dimensions between the subject device(LAP-iX2N) and the predicate device(LAP-iX), these changes reflect ergonomic refinements based on user preferences and clinical feedback from the use of the predicate model.
Specifically, the length of the handle and suction/irrigation tubes was adjusted to improve surgeon comfort and handling during procedures. The changes were made without altering the device’s functional design, energy delivery mechanism, or clinical performance.
The suction, irrigation, and electrode connector dimensions (Ø10 mm / Ø7 mm / Ø4 mm, respectively)

remain identical, ensuring full compatibility with existing accessories and surgical workflows.
Therefore, these dimensional modifications are considered non-critical design changes and do not affect the intended use, technological characteristics, or safety and effectiveness of the device compared to the predicate.
Note. 3
To support the recent material changes, biocompatibility testing was performed on the finished device, including both direct and indirect patient-contacting components. The biocompatibility evaluation was conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1, and testing was performed and verified in accordance with ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10, ISO 10993-11, and ISO 10993-23. The results demonstrated that the subject device is biocompatible for its intended use.
