## Intended Use

The Power Tek II shaver system is a powered instrument for orthopedic applications including abrasion arthroplasty, synovectorny or intra-articular cutting and shaving. The device is intended for use in the knee, shoulder, wrist, temporal-mandibular joint, ankle, and elbow.

## Device Story

Power Tek II is an arthroscopic shaver system for orthopedic surgery. System components: control console (microprocessor, shaver driver, mode/speed controls, display), remote control, footswitch, and shaver handpiece. Handpiece operates at 400-12,000 rpm with linear suction for debris aspiration. Used in OR by surgeons for abrasion arthroplasty, synovectomy, and intra-articular cutting/shaving. Surgeon controls device via footswitch or remote control at the surgical field. Microprocessor manages motor speed and operational modes. System facilitates tissue removal and joint debridement, potentially improving surgical efficiency and patient outcomes.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided as a basis of substantial equivalence. Validation relied on bench testing, including IEC 601-1 safety testing, UL certification, electromagnetic compatibility, and software validation.

## Technological Characteristics

Powered arthroscopic shaver system. Components: control console with microprocessor, remote control, footswitch, and shaver handpiece. Handpiece speed: 400-12,000 rpm. Features linear suction control. Software-controlled motor operation. Validation standards: IEC 601-1, UL certification.

## Regulatory Identification

An arthroscope is an electrically powered endoscope intended to make visible the interior of a joint. The arthroscope and accessories also is intended to perform surgery within a joint.

Dear Ms. Beres:

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.
