## Indications for Use

VOMED trocars are intended to provide access to the thoracic cavity through ports in the intercostal spaces, with minimal to no rib retraction. VOMED trocars and trocar sleeves then allow endoscopic instruments, thoracoscopes, laparoscopes, a tube or a channel, and accessory devices to be inserted and used during cardiac surgery procedures. VOMED adapters, tube connectors, caps and plugs, stopcocks and valves are noninvasive, reusable devices for use in cardiovascular applications to interconnect tubing and other devices during extracorporeal bypass procedures, effectively establishing a conduit between the devices for the flow of blood and other extracorporeal fluids.

## Device Story

VOMED Trocars and Adapters/Connectors are surgical accessories used in cardiac surgery and extracorporeal bypass. Trocars provide thoracic cavity access via intercostal ports, facilitating insertion of endoscopic instruments, thoracoscopes, and laparoscopes without significant rib retraction. Adapters, tube connectors, caps, plugs, stopcocks, and valves serve as noninvasive, reusable components to interconnect tubing and medical devices, establishing conduits for blood and extracorporeal fluid flow. These devices are used in clinical surgical environments by physicians and surgical staff. They function as mechanical interfaces to maintain system integrity and access during procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Reusable surgical instruments and fluid management accessories. Includes trocars, adapters, tube connectors, caps, plugs, stopcocks, and valves. Mechanical design for thoracic access and fluid conduit interconnection. Materials and sterilization methods are consistent with standard surgical instrumentation for cardiovascular use.

## Regulatory Identification

A trocar is a sharp-pointed instrument used with a cannula for piercing a vessel or chamber to facilitate insertion of the cannula.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Except for trocars that are reprocessed for multiple use, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 870.9.

VOMED Trocars and Adapters, Connectors, Stopcocks and Manifolds Regulation Number: 870.1390 and 870.4290 Regulation Name: Trocar and Cardiopulmonary Bypass Adaptor, Stopcock, Manifold, or Fitting Regulatory Class: Class II (two) Product Code: DRC and DTL

Dated: July 10, 2002 Received: July 12, 2002

#### Dear Mr. Mäser:

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 (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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

{1}------------------------------------------------

### Page 2 - Mr. Dagmar S. Mäser

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 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 21 CFR Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
