Indications for Use
Provox® Vega™ Puncture Set is a device for performing a primary or secondary tracheoesophageal (TE) puncture in laryngectomized patients, with integrated placement of a Provox Vega voice prosthesis. The Provox Vega voice prosthesis is a sterile single use indwelling voice prosthesis intended for voice rehabilitation after surgical removal of the larynx (laryngectomy). Cleaning of the voice prosthesis is performed by the patient while it remains in situ. Environments of use include; Provox® VegaTM Puncture Set hospitals and sub-acute care institutions. Provox® Vega Voice Prosthesis hospitals, sub-acute care institutions and home.
Device Story
The Provox Vega Puncture Set is a single-use surgical kit for creating a tracheoesophageal (TE) puncture and placing a voice prosthesis. The set includes a pharynx protector, puncture needle, guidewire, and a puncture dilator preloaded with a Provox Vega voice prosthesis. Used in hospitals and sub-acute care institutions by clinicians. The clinician uses the needle to create the puncture, the guidewire and dilator to enlarge the tract, and the preloaded prosthesis is then positioned. The device facilitates voice restoration for patients who have undergone a laryngectomy. The prosthesis remains in situ for voice rehabilitation, with patient-performed cleaning. The set simplifies the procedure by integrating the puncture, dilation, and prosthesis placement steps.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and functional comparisons to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Single-use kit. Components: Pharynx protector (thermoplastic), puncture needle (surgical stainless steel), guidewire (fluoroplastic), puncture dilator (thermoplastic elastomer/polypropylene), and voice prosthesis (medical grade silicone rubber/fluoroplastic). Mechanical insertion principle. Sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for laryngectomized patients requiring primary or secondary tracheoesophageal (TE) puncture and voice rehabilitation via an indwelling voice prosthesis. Contraindicated in patients with anatomical abnormalities hindering safe puncture or prosthesis placement (e.g., significant stenosis or fibrosis) and patients with severe trismus precluding pharyngeal wall protection during secondary puncture.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A laryngeal prosthesis (Taub design) is a device intended to direct pulmonary air flow to the pharynx in the absence of the larynx, thereby permitting esophageal speech. The device is interposed between openings in the trachea and the esophagus and may be removed and replaced each day by the patient. During phonation, air from the lungs is directed to flow through the device and over the esophageal mucosa to provide a sound source that is articulated as speech.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a voice amplification device, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

#### Device Description:
The Provox Vega Puncture Set is a device for creating a primary or secondary TE puncture, with subsequent dilatation of that puncture to a width that facilitates placement of the included Provox Vega voice prosthesis. The Provox Vega voice prosthesis is preloaded on the Puncture Dilator, which is part of the device.
The Provox Vega Puncture Set is intended for single use only and the package contains the following sterile items in a blister package:
- · 1 Pharynx Protector (Fig. 1:1) made of transparent thermoplastic,
- · 1 Puncture Needle (Fig. 1.2) made of surgical stainless steel.
- · 1 Guidewire (Fig. 1.3) made of pre-colored fluoroplastic.
- · I Puncture Dilator with I preloaded Provox Vega voice prosthesis (Fig. 1.4). The Puncture Dilator is made of thermoplastic elastomer and polypropylene; and the Vega voice prosthesis is made of medical grade silicone rubber and fluoroplastic.
The set also includes the following non-sterile items:
- · 1 Instructions for use Provox Vega Puncture Set,
- · 1 Provox Vega Patient's Manual,
- · 1 Provox Brush of a size corresponding to the voice prosthesis,
- · 1 Provox Brush Instructions for Use.

Environments of use include;
- Provox® VegaTM Puncture Set hospitals and sub-acute care institutions.
- Provox® Vega Voice Prosthesis hospitals, sub-acute care institutions and home.
Patient Population: For patients who have got their larynx surgically removed.
#### Environment of Use:
- Provox® Vega™ Puncture Set - hospitals and sub-acute care institutions.
- Provox® Vega Voice Prosthesis hospitals, sub-acute care institutions and home.
Contraindications: Do not use the Provox Vega Puncture Set if the patient has anatomical abnormalities that may hinder safe puncturing of the TE wall or safe voice prosthesis placement (e.g., significant stenosis or significant fibrosis at the puncture site) as this may cause tissue damage.
Do not use the Provox Vega Puncture Set for secondary TE puncture if the patient suffers from severe trismus that precludes proper protection of the pharvngeal wall. Failure to protect the pharynx during puncture may lead to unintended trauma of the pharyngeal/esophageal tissue.
