The device consists of a 10cc syringe with a Luer Lock tip and barrel perforations, housed within a 60cc outer barrel connected to an aspiration machine. During operation, fat is collected into the 10cc syringe; waste products are strained through the barrel holes into the 60cc outer tube and suctioned into a waste container. The 10cc syringe is then removed, fitted with a sleeve, and used for direct re-injection. Used by physicians in clinical settings, the device maintains the fat in a sterile field, reducing handling, trauma, and contamination risk compared to traditional methods involving centrifugation and washing. This streamlined process minimizes time outside the body and preserves fat cell viability for re-injection. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Piston syringe system; 10cc syringe with Luer Lock tip and barrel perforations; 60cc outer barrel housing; medical-grade tubing; manual/suction-assisted operation; sterile, single-use, disposable; non-powered (uses external aspiration machine). ## Regulatory Identification An irrigating syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a bulb or a piston syringe with an integral or a detachable tube. The device is used to irrigate, withdraw fluid from, or instill fluid into, a body cavity or wound. ## Predicate Devices - Johnson & Johnson Syringe ([K884749](/device/K884749.md)) - LipiVage (no 510(k) number provided) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

We can only find one of these devices 510(k) number. See below. Shippert Medical is requesting a claim of Substantial Equivalence to the device Classification Name: Syringe, Irrigating Johnson & Johnson Syringe, (k)884749 (Non-Dental), Class I Device, Product Code KYZ, Regulation Number 880.6960, General Hospital. See Section 7 for Substantial Equivalence data, Exhibit E. Shippert Medical is requesting a claim of substantial equivalence to the product "LipiVage" manufactured and marketed by Genesis Biosystems. "LipiVage" is a sterile, disposable syringe FDA listed device by Genesis Biosystems under Product Scille, Classification name: Syringe, Irrigating (Non-Dental), Class I Device, Product Code KYZ, Regulation Number 880.6960, General Hospital. I have been r round of ocate their 510(k) number for LipiVage. See Section 7 for Substantial Equivalence data, Exhibit F. Description of the Device: Tissue-Trans™ is a sterile, single use, disposable syringe device used in the harvesting, filtering and transferr ing of autologous fat. Used by acinso asounding procedures,Tissue Trans™ simplifies and reduces the steps prysiolane in the collection and transfer of the autologous fat. In so doing, the harvested fat is less traumatized and risk of contamination is lowered because the fat never leaves the harvesting syringe until re-injection. {1}------------------------------------------------ Shippert Medical Technologies 510k Application - Tissu-Trans™ March 16, 2005 k 05079 #### 510(k) SUMMARY, con't. Section 3: ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ page 2:2 Intended Use; Tissu-Trans™ is intended to be used when harvesting, filtering and transferring of autologous fat is desired. Technological Characteristics: Tissu-Trans™ is a piston syringe device comprised of a small 10cc syringe with Luer Lock tip that has small holes drilled into its barrel. This small10cc syringe is placed inside a larger 60cc barrel type tube, which is attached to a medical grade tubing and aspiration machine. As the autologous fat is collected into the 10cc syringe, the waste products are strained through the holes in the 10cc syringe into the large 60cc barrel tube and suctioned into a waste container. The small syringe is removed from the large 60cc tube, a sleeve is attached to the small 10cc syringe around the barrel and the autologous fat is re-injected into the patient at desired locations. Previous procedure technology demanded the aspiration, washing, centrifuging and re-injection of the then over-handled fat cells. Tissu-Trans™, like LipiVage, decreases the number of steps a physician must take to process the fat for re-injection. The fat remains in a sterile field at all times with Tissu-Trans™, thus reducing the risk of infection. The fat cells also are less traumatized due to the low vacuum levels, no centrifuging, less time outside of the body, and the fewer numbers of harvesting, washing, filtering and transfer steps. ## Summary: The Tissu-Trans™ device described in this submission is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices, and is safe and effective. The device design and materials used, are similar to those of the Predicate Device Johnson & Johnson Syringe k884749 and LipiVage, k# unknown, and also to most of the piston syringes in the Product Code KYZ. As stated in CFR 880.6960, (product code KYZ) "An irrigating syringe is a device intended for medical purposes that consists of a bulb or piston syringe with integral or a detachable tube. The device is used to irrigate, withdraw fluid from, or instill fluid into, a body cavity or wound." Given the "Intended Use" and basic design structure of Product Code KYZ, Shippert Medical Technologies claims Substantial Equivalence to the above listed devices. Even given the Class I Exempt Device Status of Product Code KYZ, due to our product's sterile state, we are submitting a 510(k) Premarket Submission. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
