Intended Use

The Gyrus Endourology System is a radio frequency bipolar electrosurgical device system intended for use in urological surgical procedures involving the ablation or removal of soft tissue and where associated hemostasis is required. The specific urological indications where the system can be used are in transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck, resection of bladder tumors and in cystodiathermy.

Device Story

System comprises electrosurgical generator (Controller), connector cable, and bipolar electrodes (5 Fr. to 24 Fr.) with integrated resectoscope; used in urological surgery. Device delivers radio frequency energy to tissue via bipolar electrode tip; return electrode integrated into tip eliminates need for external return pad; energy localized to tip, preventing body-wide current path. Operated by physicians in clinical/surgical settings. Provides tissue ablation/removal and hemostasis. Benefits include localized energy delivery and reduced risk compared to monopolar systems.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design, materials, and technological characteristics compared to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Bipolar electrosurgical system; radio frequency generator; integrated return electrode tip; electrode sizes 5 Fr. to 24 Fr.; steam autoclave sterilization for resectoscope; connector cable reusable; electrodes single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for urological surgical procedures requiring soft tissue ablation, removal, or hemostasis, including transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck, resection of bladder tumors, and cystodiathermy.

## 3. Device Description

The Gyrus Endourology System is comprised of four key components: the Electrode, the Connector Cable, an Axipolar Resectoscope and an electrosurgical generator called the Controller. The Connector Cable connects the Controller to the Electrode. The Electrode is provided in a variety of models, ranging in size from 5 Fr. to 24 Fr. A system specific Resectoscope is provided for use with one of the Electrode models. Other Electrode models are available for use with available cystoscopes with a 5Fr or larger operating channel. The Electrode is supplied sterile and intended for single patient use. The Connector Cable is designed for a number of sterilizations and the Resectoscope for repeat sterilizations using steam autoclaving methods. The Controller is an electronic radio frequency generator.

The Gyrus Endourology System is bipolar, incorporating a return electrode as a part of the electrode tip. This means that a return pad is not required for system operation. The return energy in a bipolar device with an integral return electrode does not penetrate the tissue as in a monopolar device. In a monopolar device, the energy passes through the patient's body to reach the return pad.

## 4. Indicated Use

The Gyrus Endourology System is a radio frequency bipolar electrosurgical device system intended for use in urological surgical procedures involving the ablation or removal of soft tissue and where associated hemostasis is required. The specific urological indications where the system can be used are in transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) for benign prostatic hypertrophy, transurethral incision of the prostate (TUIP) or bladder neck, resection of bladder tumors and in cystodiathermy.

Several manufacturers have marketed equivalent monopolar electrosurgical generators, electrodes and accessories in the USA since the 1950's.

GYRUS MEDICAL DOCUMENT No. 814064

February 1990

Equivalent monopolar and bipolar electrosurgery devices have been cleared via 510(k), such as those manufactured by Erbe (K933002) and COMEG (K971881). These devices have been demonstrated to be safe and effective in removing tissue during urological surgery.

## Technological Characteristics 5.

The technological characteristics of the Gyrus Endourology System are the same as those of the Scuba (Gynecare Versapoint™) Electrosurgery System, Electrodes (K962482, K982738) and its dedicated Resectoscope and accessories (K982771). The devices are substantially equivalent in terms of design, materials, principle of operation, product specifications and sterilization.

## 6. Summary

By virtue of design, materials, function and indicated use, the Gyrus Endourology System is substantially equivalent to similar devices currently marketed in the USA.
