The Nortech IntraMyst Humidification System is indicated for use as a means of supplying humidity within the intra-abdominal cavity during diagnostic and / or operative laparoscopic procedures.
Device Story
IntraMyst Humidification System provides continuous or on-demand humidification to laparoscopic environment; intended to reduce postoperative pain, adhesion formation, and laparoscope lens fogging. System includes controller with front panel controls and pneumatics to supply/control gas to catheter at 100 PSI and 5 LPM. Controller features displays for abdominal pressure, overpressure, gas supply low, mist active, active pressure sense, and fluid volume dispensed. Used in clinical settings by physicians during laparoscopic procedures. Output allows clinicians to monitor and manage intra-abdominal gas/humidity levels.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing performed to meet electrical safety (UL-2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1, EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2) and biocompatibility (ISO 10993-X) standards.
Technological Characteristics
Laparoscopic insufflator; pneumatic control system; 100 PSI / 5 LPM output; non-toxic materials; electrical safety per UL-2601-1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1, EN 60601-1, EN 60601-1-2; biocompatibility per ISO 10993-X.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing diagnostic or operative laparoscopic procedures requiring intra-abdominal humidification.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A laparoscopic insufflator is a device used to facilitate the use of the laparoscope by filling the peritoneal cavity with gas to distend it.

## Summary of Safety and Effectiveness
| Common / Usual Name: | Laparoscopic Insufflator |
|--------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Proprietary Name: | Nortech IntraMyst Humidification System |
| Classification: | Class II |
| Materials: | Materials used to manufacture Nortech's IntraMyst<br>Humidification System Tubing Sets are non-toxic and have<br>been previously utilized to manufacture other devices. |
| Description: | Nortech's IntraMyst Humidification System incorporates<br>front panel controls that are similar to Northgate's current<br>Insufflators. The system is designed to provide continuous<br>or on demand humidification to the laparoscopic<br>environment. This may reduce the incidence of<br>postoperative pain, diminish the likelihood of adhesion<br>formation and reduce laparoscope lens fogging. |
| | The controller will contain the appropriate pneumatics for<br>supplying and controlling the gas to the catheter at 100 PSI<br>and 5 LPM. In addition, the controller will have displays<br>for indicating abdominal pressure, overpressure, gas supply<br>low, mist active, active pressure sense and amount of fluid<br>dispensed. |
| | Northgate Technologies Inc. shall contract the appropriate<br>testing of the system to meet standards such as UL-2601-1,<br>CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 601.1, EN 60601-1 and<br>EN 60601-1-2. Also, any microbiological testing to meet<br>ISO 10993-X shall be performed. |
| Substantial Equivalence: | Northgate's IntraMyst Humidification System and<br>Accessories is substantially equivalent in materials, and<br>intended use to numerous currently marketed devices.<br>Predicate devices are indicated in Exhibit # 5. |
| Intended Use: | The Nortech IntraMyst Humidification System is indicated<br>for use as a means of supplying humidity within the intra-<br>abdominal cavity during diagnostic and / or operative<br>laparoscopic procedures. |

Trade/Device Name: IntraMyst Humidification System Regulation Number: 21 CFR 884.1730 Regulation Name: Laparoscopic insufflator Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 85 HIF Dated: June 1. 2004 Received: June 4, 2004
Dear Mr. Kurek:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
