Indications for Use
The Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube is intended for endotracheal intubation. It is indicated for use for all types of surgical procedures involving carbon dioxide (10.60 microns), KTP (532 nm) or Blue Laser (445mm) laser use (normal pulsed or continuous beam delivery in the non-contact mode), when endotracheal intubation is required to administer anesthetic gases or to overcome emergency obstruction of an airway.
Device Story
Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube is a single-use, sterile, endotracheal tube with two inflatable cuffs; designed for use during surgical procedures involving CO2, KTP, or 445nm Blue lasers. Device features an inner aluminum scattering layer for laser resistance and an atraumatic outer layer to protect patient tissue; includes an internal dye as a warning indicator for puncture or damage. Used by clinicians in the trachea/upper GI tract to administer anesthetic gases or manage airway obstruction. Device is discarded after use. Benefits include protection against laser-induced airway fires or damage during laser surgery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance data provided for laser resistance verification and validation to support safety and equivalence to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Laser-resistant endotracheal tube; features inner aluminum scattering layer, atraumatic outer layer, and two inflatable cuffs. Includes internal dye indicator for puncture detection. Sterile (ethylene oxide), single-use. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adults (≥22 years) requiring endotracheal intubation during laser surgery (CO2, KTP, or 445nm Blue laser) in the upper gastro-respiratory tract. Contraindicated in patients with narrow airways or conditions precluding intubation.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A tracheal tube is a device inserted into a patient's trachea via the nose or mouth and used to maintain an open airway.

Dear Martha Russell:
We have reviewed vour 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. 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801): medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531 -542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Special 510(k): Modification to Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube
Both devices are laser resistant endotracheal tubes. They share an identical indication for use (outside of the addition of the Blue 445 nm laser for the subject device) and are intended for use in the same manner. The subject and predicate devices also share the following technological characteristics:
- Laser resistance using an inner aluminum scattering layer, ●
- Atraumatic outer layer for protection of patient tissue, ●
- Inflatable cuffs,
- Use of internal dye as a warning indicator to alert practitioners of device puncture or ● damage.
#### 1.7. Performance Data
The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:
- Laser resistance
#### 1.8. Conclusion
The non-clinical data support the safety of the device and the verification and validation testing demonstrate that the Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube shall perform as intended in the specified use conditions. The data demonstrate that the Tenax® Laser Resistant Endotracheal Tube performs comparably to the predicate device currently marketed for the same intended use.
