It receives CO2 gas from a regulated source; passes gas through an in-line filter; directs gas through a cassette containing a heating element and humidification media; and delivers warmed, humidified, and filtered gas into the surgical cavity via a Luer lock connector to a trocar or insufflation needle. Used in OR settings during minimally invasive procedures (thoracoscopic, laparoscopic, endoscopic vein harvesting). Operated by surgeons or surgical staff. Device warms and humidifies gas to mitigate potential adverse effects of cold, dry CO2 insufflation on the surgical cavity. System includes a disposable tubing set and a control module housing safety and control circuits. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on technological comparison to predicate devices and performance testing. ## Technological Characteristics Single-use disposable filter, heater, and humidifier tubing set with a control module. Connects to standard CO2 insufflator outlet. Provides heating and humidification of gas stream. Class II device (21 CFR 884.1730). ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Insuflow ([K063546](/device/K063546.md)) - CarbonAid ([K052125](/device/K052125.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Identification of device Proprietary Name: Insuflow® Common Name: Laparoscopic Insufflator Gas Conditioner Classification Status: Class II per regulations 884.1730 Product Code: HIF #### 2. Equivalent devices LEXION Medical believes that Insuflow® is substantially equivalent to the following devices: Insuflow®, K063546 CarbonAid, K052125 Insuflow is the same gas conditioner insufflator accessory device as cleared under 510(k) K063546 and has essentially the same intended use as the predicate devices. #### 3. Description of the Device The Insuflow device is a single use device that attaches to the outlet port of an insufflator or other regulated CO2 source and is designed to warm and humidify the CO2 gas stream prior to insufflation into the cardiothoracic, vascular or abdominal surgical cavity. The Insuflow device consists of a disposable filter heater/humidifier tubing set and a control module that houses the control and safety circuits for the system. Regulated CO2 gas flows into the Insuflow® device, through the in-line filter, continues along the tube to enter the Insuflow® device cassette that contains the heating element and humidification media, through a tube that connects via a Luer lock connector to anno a insufflation needle/trocar and finally flows into the patient's surgical cayity over and finally > LEXION Medical Insuflow® 510k > > Confidential {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 4. Intended use Insuflow is a gas conditioner accessory device for use in minimally invasive surgery, including thoracoscopic, laparoscopic and endoscopic vein harvesting surgical procedures, intended to heat, humidify and filter a CO2 gas stream for insufflation of the surgical cavity. #### న. Technological characteristics, comparison to predicate device. Technically, the Insuflow is identical to the Insuflow® cleared for market in 510(k) K063546 and essentially equivalent to the other predicate. The indications for use for the Insuflow are patterned after the predicate devices and supported by an extensive collection of literature references. #### 6. Discussion of performance testing. Extensive performance testing has been conducted to assure that the Insuflow performs in accordance with its specifications and applicable standards. Details of that testing were provided in 510(k) K063546 and are summarized in Section 5. #### 7. Conclusion Based on a comparison to the predicate devices and information provided, it is the conclusion of LEXION Medical that Insuflow is substantially equivalent to devices already on the market being used for these applications (cleared by the 510(k) process) and presents no new concerns about safety and effectiveness. ### LEXION Medical Insuflow® 510k 14 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Confidential {2}------------------------------------------------ Insuflow® ## (1) Gas Conditioning Device (1) 10mL Luer Lock Syringe Required Translations ...
