## Intended Use

This device is intended for the cutting and removal of bone and tissues in ENT, otorhinolaryngology / head and neck surgical procedures.

## Device Story

XPS StraightShot Microresector System is a powered surgical instrument for ENT and head/neck procedures. System components include a power control unit, footswitch, and handpiece, used with various disposable accessory blades and burs. Operated by healthcare professionals in a clinical/surgical setting, the device provides mechanical cutting and resection of bone and soft tissue. The surgeon controls the device via footswitch to perform precise tissue removal, facilitating procedures like rhinoplasty and reconstructive surgeries. The device benefits patients by enabling efficient, controlled tissue resection compared to manual instruments.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by literature (Becker, et al.) regarding the use of powered cutting blades for soft tissue removal in head and neck surgery.

## Technological Characteristics

System comprises a power control unit, footswitch, and handpiece with interchangeable disposable blades and burs. Functions as an electrical surgical drill/microdebrider. Designed for ENT/head and neck surgical use. Prescription-only device.

## Regulatory Identification

An ear, nose, and throat electric or pneumatic surgical drill is a rotating drilling device, including the handpiece, that is intended to drive various accessories, such as an ear, nose, and throat bur (§ 874.4140), for the controlled incision or removal of bone in the ear, nose, and throat area.

## Predicate Devices

- TreBay Microplaner handpiece ([K954715](/device/K954715.md))

#### 6.0 Device Description

The XPS microdebrider system is composed of the Power Control unit, a footswitch and a handpiece combined with various accessory blades and burs. The XPS system and replaceable blades and burs are intended for use by health care professionals and are labeled as prescription devices. The disposable blades and burs are provided in styles and sizes to remove the various tissues and bone typically resected in ENT and Head and Neck surgery.

### 7.0 Intended Use

This device is intended for the cutting and removal of bone and tissues in ENT, otorhinolaryngology / head and neck surgical procedures.

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

## Substantial Equivalence 8.0

This submission is to obtain FDA concurrence that the specific procedures (rhinoplasty and removal of soft tissue during plastic, reconstructive, and/or aesthetic surgery of the head and neck) indicated in the proposed labeling are substantially equivalent to the current broadly stated indications for use. No other modifications or device changes are included.

The use of the XPS System for rhinoplasty is equivalent to the TreBay Microplaner handpiece, cleared via K954715, which is described as having a 4.4 mm cutting bur with a hooded tip and handpiece. Its cleared indications for use included "for removal of bone and tissues in rhinoplasty, for such procedures including nasal dorsum surgery and nasal osteotomy, and surgery for rhinoplasty".

The additional indication proposed for soft tissue removal during plastic, reconstructive, and/or aesthetic surgery of the head and neck is only identifying a specific soft tissue removal that is commonly carried out by the ENT/Head and Neck surgeon. The removal of this tissue is equivalent to the removal of any other soft tissue of the head and neck in that it raises no new issues of safety or effectiveness. In a multi-institutional experience for these indications (article of Becker, et al.), the use of powered cutting blades is found to be safe and effective for removal of such tissue.
