Specific functions include cutting, ablation and shaping of soft tissue, and drilling, reaming, decorticating and smoothing of bone, cartilage and other bone related tissue in a variety of surgical procedures including open and minimally invasive spinal surgeries and small and large joint arthroscopic procedures. ## Device Story The ArthroJet System is an orthopedic surgical tool used in open and minimally invasive procedures. It consists of a reusable power control unit, a sterile disposable pump cartridge/tubing assembly, and a sterile disposable handpiece. The system utilizes fluid jet technology to drive a rotating burr for mechanical tissue/bone cutting and ablation; it also incorporates bipolar electrocautery for bleeding control. The device is operated by a surgeon in an OR setting. The addition of a curette to the distal end of the handpiece allows for manual tissue scraping/removal. The system provides surgeons with a multi-functional tool for tissue resection and bone shaping, potentially reducing the need for multiple instrument exchanges during surgery. ## Clinical Evidence Bench and cadaver testing were conducted to determine device functionality and conformance to design input requirements. ## Technological Characteristics System components: reusable power console, sterile disposable pump cartridge, tubing, and handpiece. Technology: fluid jet-driven rotor for mechanical cutting (sharpened steel), bipolar electrocautery. Handpiece includes high-pressure fluid conduit with integral nozzle and low-pressure collection tube. Addition of curette tool. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery and TurboBurr ([K020688](/device/K020688.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Sponsor Name HydroCision, Inc 100 Burtt Rd. Suite G01 Andover, MA 01810 Tel: 978-474-9300 Contact Individual: Debbie lampietro ## Device Name 2. Proprietary Name: ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette Common/Usual Name: Arthroscope and Accessories Classification name: Arthroscope and Accessories # Identification of Legally Marketed Device 3. The modified HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette is substantially equivalent in intended use to the HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery and TurboBurr (K020688). ### Device Description 4. The HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette consists of the reusable power control unit; a sterile, disposable pump cartridge and tubing assembly; and sterile, disposable handpieces with curette. It provides the same functions as the predicate upon which it is based. The handpiece includes the rotating burr, which is driven by a fluidjet driven rotor. - 5. Intended Use The HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, TurboBurr, and Curette is indicated for orthopedic surgical procedures where the cutting and removal of soft tissue and the ablation and removal of hard tissue or bone is required, with control of bleeding during those procedures as needed. Specific functions include cutting, ablation and shaping of {1}------------------------------------------------ $$ \begin{pmatrix} \circ_{\circ} \circ_{\circ} \circ_{\circ} \circ_{\circ} \circ_{\circ} \circ_{\circ} \circ_{\circ} \end{pmatrix} $$ soft tissue, and drilling, reaming, decorticating and smoothing of bone, cartilage and other bone related tissue in a variety of surgical procedures including open and minimally invasive spinal surgeries and small and large joint arthroscopic procedures. - 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics Both the current and modified devices: - A. Have the same intended use Both are intended for resection of tissue and bone in open and minimally invasive orthopedic procedures. - B. Use the same fundamental scientific technology - a reusable power console unit - fluid jet technology . - mechanical cutting using sharpened steel . - bipolar electrocautery . - a sterile, disposable pump cartridge, handpiece and tubing assembly ● comprised of two principal components: - a high pressure fluid conduit with integral fluidjet nozzle . - a low pressure collection tube. . The differences between the proposed HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery, Turbo Burr and Curette and the current HydroCision ArthroJet System with Cautery and TurboBurr (K020688) are: - Addition of Curette tool to the distal end of direct fluidjet handpieces 康 - 7. Performance Testing Bench and cadaver testing were conducted to determine device functionality and conformance to design input requirements. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.
