Indications for Use

Assistance in the delivery of local anaesthetic after hamstring harvest during ligament reconstruction procedures.

Device Story

GRAFTSITE is a catheter-based device used to deliver local anesthetic bolus injections into the femoral gutter following hamstring harvest during ligament reconstruction. The device consists of a 28.25 cm catheter (4.0 mm OD, 2.6 mm ID) with lateral eyes at the patient end, a rounded/blocked tip, and a 6% female luer hub. A rigid stainless steel buttoned stylet is inserted into the lumen to provide stiffness during placement. The device is used by clinicians in a surgical setting. Unlike nerve-stimulating needles, GRAFTSITE does not require tissue puncture or electrical nerve localization; it is inserted through the existing surgical access site. By delivering anesthetic directly to nerve endings within and surrounding the femoral gutter, the device provides regional anesthesia, potentially reducing post-operative pain for the patient.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was required to establish substantial equivalence. Evidence consists of bench testing (pressure, tensile, flow, radio-opacity, corrosion) and a cadaveric usability investigation.

Technological Characteristics

Catheter length 28.25 cm, 4.0 mm OD, 2.6 mm ID. Materials: stainless steel stylet, catheter with lateral eyes. Connectivity: 6% female luer hub (ISO 594-2). Sterilization: Gamma irradiation (VDmax25, SAL 10^-6). Standards: EN 1618, ISO 594-1/2, BS 6196, ASTM F640-12, ISO 10993-1 (biocompatibility).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing hamstring ligament reconstruction procedures to assist in the delivery of local anesthetic after hamstring harvest.

An electrical stimulus<br>may be applied to the needle via a cable and connector to assist<br>the physician pinpoint the area of application." due to<br>GRAFTSITE having a more limited depiction of use compared to<br>that of the predicate.<br><br>GRAFTSITE has a catheter round and blocked at the patient end<br>as is not required to puncture tissue to gain entry, due to the | | | | | | method of access being through the already present femoral<br>gutter, compared to the predicate that requires a puncturing tip<br>at the end of the cannula in order to pierce the skin for nerve<br>access. Therefore, this difference does not raise different<br>questions of safety and effectiveness. | | | GRAFTSITE is used for inducing regional anesthesia by<br>assisting in the injection of anesthetics like the predicate, it just<br>has a more limited depiction of use to only after hamstring<br>harvest during ligament reconstruction procedures. In<br>subsequent clearance K053283 it states that PAJUNK Unipolar<br>needles (initially cleared under K000722) are marketed as single<br>shot needles under the trade name UniPlex and that the<br>anesthesia conduction catheter allows for bolus injections or<br>continuous infusion of local anesthetics. This shows the<br>predicate can be used for the same intended purpose as<br>GRAFTSITE, assisting in delivery of a bolus of anesthetic,<br>therefore this does not raise different questions of safety or<br>effectiveness. | | | GRAFTSITE does not require the physician to pinpoint the area<br>of application via electrical stimulus, as it fulfils its intended use<br>through localization of anesthetic directly to nerve endings<br>within, and surrounding, the comorbidities at the already femoral<br>gutter, compared to the predicate which utilizes nerve stimulation<br>to localize the more proximal nerve sheath. Therefore, this<br>difference does not raise different questions of safety and<br>effectiveness. | | Device description | GRAFTSITE is 28.25 cm in length with an inner diameter of 2.6<br>mm and an outer diameter of 4.0 mm, sized to fit down the<br>hamstring harvest site. It is rounded and blocked at the patient<br>end and has a 6% female luer at the user end. There are lateral<br>eyes over a length at the patient end of the catheter. A buttoned<br>stylet consisting of a rigid stainless steel rod of diameter slightly<br>less than the bore of the catheter, functions to stiffen the device.<br>GRAFTSITE can be used to directly administer a bolus of the<br>users chosen local anesthetic, via injection down the lumen of<br>the catheter, into the terminus of the gutter at the site of<br>comorbidity. | | Non-clinical testing | Based on the characteristics identified as relevant from<br>performance standards, GRAFTSITE was directly compared to<br>the predicate in comparative performance tests. | | | Testing performed in order to verify substantial equivalence<br>included: | {4}------------------------------------------------ {5}------------------------------------------------ Pressure testing of the catheter/hub for resistance to ● liquid leakage (in accordance with EN 1618 and ISO 594-2) Tensile bond performance of the catheter/hub and . stylet/button (in accordance with BS 6196 and EN 1618) Corrosion resistance of the stylet (as per EN 1618) ● . Flow rate of the catheter (in accordance with EN 1618) Radio-opacity of the catheter (in accordance with ASTM ● F640-12) Human factors/usability validation of the device ● GRAFTSITE performed equally well in all performed tests necessary to demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate. The catheter luer hub is manufactured in accordance with EN1707/ISO 594-2 and BS EN 20594-1/ISO 594-1. Further testing specific to ISO 594-1/ISO 594-2 was not required due to the following; Gauging testing - no axial force applied during intended ● use . Air leakage during aspiration - no aspiration during intended use . Separation force - no axial force applied during intended use . Stress cracking - limited stress applied during intended duration of use (≤1 minute) Unscrewing torque - no unscrewing torque applied during . intended use Ease of assembly - no axial or rotational force applied . during intended use . Resistance to overriding - no torque applied during intended use In addition, the requirement for a compliant 6% luer syringe, in accordance with ISO 594-2, to be used in conjunction with the device is indicated to users in the IFU. Biocompatibility testing on the fully finished device demonstrated that GRAFTSITE is biocompatible in relation to its intended use in accordance with ISO 10993-1 and the FDA guidance document on that standard, and is therefore determined to be {6}------------------------------------------------ | | biocompatible within a risk management process. This test<br>process included cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation/<br>intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, material-<br>mediated pyrogenicity, particulate analysis, hemolysis, and<br>endotoxin testing. | |----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | Gamma irradiation validation using the VDmax25 method, in<br>accordance with ISO 11137-1 and ISO 11137-2, was successful<br>in eliciting no growth for a routine processing dose of 25-40kGy<br>and giving a SAL of 10-6 (in accordance with EN 556). | | Clinical testing | Clinical data was not required to establish substantial<br>equivalence between GRAFTSITE and the predicate device. | | Physical differences | Both GRAFTSITE and the predicate are constructed of<br>established, clinically used materials, with confirmatory<br>biocompatibility testing verifying this. | | | The catheter being rounded and blocked at the patient end is<br>due to the method of access being through the already present<br>femoral gutter, compared to the predicate that requires a<br>puncturing tip at the end of the cannula in order to pierce the<br>skin to access the femoral nerve. | | | The length of the catheter is significantly longer due to the<br>requirement for placement at the terminus of the proximal<br>femoral gutter compared to the predicate, which typically only<br>requires access 2 – 3cm below the skin. | | | The stainless steel stylet assembly of GRAFTSITE provides<br>rigidity to the catheter upon insertion compared to the predicate<br>which has a rigid stainless steel cannula for insertion | | | The presence of a stimulator cable with the predicate is due to<br>the indications for use (i.e. for the localization of peripheral nerve<br>bundles through nerve stimulation).
