Intended Use

The Harmonic™ instrument is indicated for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. The instruments can be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, lasers, and steel scalpels in general, plastic, gynecologic, exposure to orthopedic structures (such as spine and joint space), ENT (Ears, Nose, Throat), and thoracic surgery, including mobilization of the Internal Mammary Artery (IMA).

Device Story

Sterile, single-patient-use ultrasonic surgical instrument; titanium blade with non-removable sheath; 10 cm length. Requires connection to Harmonic Generator 300 and Harmonic Hand Piece. Used by surgeons in OR settings for soft tissue incision, coagulation, and transection of vessels up to 2 mm. Ultrasonic energy enables simultaneous cutting and coagulation; reduces thermal injury compared to electrosurgery. Surgeon operates via hand-switching or foot-pedal adapter. Provides precise tissue dissection and hemostasis; benefits patient through reduced bleeding and thermal damage.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing evaluated design parameters and confirmed equivalence to predicates. Porcine acute animal study evaluated hemostasis and transection of vessels up to 2 mm in diameter, supporting the device's performance claims.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium blade with non-removable sheath; 10 cm length; 8.5 mm to 5.5 mm tapered shaft. Ultrasonic energy source. Materials meet ISO 10993-1 biocompatibility standards for limited patient contact (<24 hours).

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue incisions requiring bleeding control and minimal thermal injury in general, plastic, gynecologic, orthopedic (spine/joint space), ENT, and thoracic surgeries, including IMA mobilization.

#### Predicate Device HARMONICTM Dissecting Hook Blade HARMONICTM Sharp Curved Blade

Device Description The Harmonic TM 10 cm Combination Hook Blade is a sterile, single patient use instrument consisting of a titanium blade with a non-removable sheath. The working instrument length is 10 cm and the outer shaft diameter tapers from 8.5 mm proximally to 5.5 mm distally.

The Harmonic™ 10 cm Combination Hook Blade must be used with the 5 mm Adaptor or Hand Switching Adaptor and connected to the Harmonic Hand Piece and Generator prior to use.

The Harmonic™ 10 cm Combination Hook Blade is designed for use exclusively with the Harmonic™ Generator 300 (GEN04) and Harmonic™ Hand Piece (HP054), packaged separately. The Harmonic™ Generator 300 System User Manual should be referenced before using these instruments. The Harmonic™ 10 cm Combination Hook Blade allows for the coagulation of vessels up to and including 2 mm in diameter.

Indications for Use The Harmonic™ instrument is indicated for soft tissue incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are desired. The instruments can be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, lasers, and steel scalpels in general, plastic, gynecologic, exposure to orthopedic structures (such as spine and joint space), ENT (Ears, Nose, Throat), and thoracic surgery, including mobilization of the Internal Mammary Artery (IMA).

Technological Characteristics The HARMONIC™ 10cm Combination Hook Blade is similar in materials and function to the predicate devices HARMONIC™ Dissecting Hook and HARMONIC™ Sharp Curved Blade. The HARMONIC™ 10cm Combination Hook Blade, end effector design is different in that it incorporates a dissection hook and a flat blade.

Performance Data Bench and animal testing was performed to demonstrate the new device performs as intended. The bench test was conducted to evaluate design parameters on the HARMONIC 10 cm Combination Hook Blade device and demonstrate substantially equivalence to the HARMONIC™ Dissecting Hook and HARMONICTM Sharp Curved Blade. The animal testing used to evaluate this device consisted of a porcine acute study. This study was used to evaluate the use of the device for hemostasis and transection of vessels up to and including 2mm in diameter. The animal studies support the transection of vessels up to and including 2mm in diameter.

HARMONIC™ 10 cm Combination Hook Blade is manufactured with materials that meet the ISO10993-1: Biological Evaluation of Medical Device-Part 1: Evaluation and Testing biocompatibility requirements for the appropriate level of tissue contact. The materials used in these devices are classified as either non-patient contacting or externally communicating device components with tissue or bone contact of less than 24 hours limited patient contacting. All tests were performed in accordance with FDA Good Laboratory Practice regulations, 21 CFR 58. Biocompatibility for both limited patient contacting contacting materials have been established through history of use in other marketed Ethicon Endo-Surgery medical devices.
