## Indications for Use

Ultrasonic dispersion of infused subcutaneous fluid prior to saphenous vein harvesting for coronary artery bypass graft surgery. The one megahertz ultrasound/peristaltic irrigation pump combination system, trade name Silberg T.P.S. (Tissue Preparation System), provides a method for the subcutaneous infusion and ultrasonic dispersion of tumescent fluid. It is not indicated for the administration of parenteral fluids, infusion of drugs, or for any life-sustaining purpose.

## Device Story

Silberg Tissue Preparation System (ME 800) combines 1 MHz ultrasonic generator, 10 cm2 applicator, and peristaltic irrigation pump. Used in clinical settings by medical professionals to prepare tissues for saphenous vein harvesting. Device infuses and disperses tumescent fluid subcutaneously via hollow cannula; ultrasound energy facilitates dispersion. System includes foot switch, IV pole, and irrigation tubing. Output is controlled via front panel potentiometer. Facilitates tissue hydration and preparation for vein removal; benefits patient by optimizing surgical site conditions for graft harvesting.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological and functional comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

System comprises 1 MHz ultrasonic generator, 10 cm2 applicator, and peristaltic irrigation pump. Components housed in non-conductive plastic. Energy source: electrical (ultrasound and pump). Connectivity: manual control via front panel potentiometer and foot switch. No software-based automation or digital connectivity described.

## Regulatory Identification

An infusion pump is a device used in a health care facility to pump fluids into a patient in a controlled manner. The device may use a piston pump, a roller pump, or a peristaltic pump and may be powered electrically or mechanically. The device may also operate using a constant force to propel the fluid through a narrow tube which determines the flow rate. The device may include means to detect a fault condition, such as air in, or blockage of, the infusion line and to activate an alarm.

## Predicate Devices

- Sonicator 716, Model ME 716 ([K934846](/device/K934846.md))
- Irrigation or Infusion Pump 'K' Pump ([K991203](/device/K991203.md))

# SILBERG'S VEIN PREPARATION SYSTEM MODEL ME 800 510(K) SUMMARY STATEMENT (KXXXXXX)

### Comparison of Technological Characteristics Between Proposed and Predicate Devices:

The ultrasound portion of the Tissue Preparation System is functionally and electrically the same as the Sonicator 716, ME 716, ultrasound therapy device (K934846). The only difference is the housing in which the ME 716 is installed. It is a non-conductive plastic housing containing the ultrasound component and subassemblies along with the pump and controller electronics for the saline delivery system that complements use of ultrasound to prepare tissues for vein removal.

The peristaltic irrigation pump and controller system is the same as the Barnant pump system used by the KMI Kolster Methods, Inc. "Irrigation or Infusion Pump 'K' Pump" (K991203). It is driven by a foot switch with relative flow rate controlled by front panel potentiometer and provides the saline solution for hydration of tissues in preparation for vein removal.
