Intended Use
LOTUS Enhanced Shears are indicated for soft tissue surgical incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are important. They may be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, laser surgery, and traditional scalpels in general, gynecological, thoracic surgery, and exposure to orthopedic structures (such as hip joint). The LOTUS Series 5 is indicated for soft tissue surgical incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are important. It may be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, laser surgery, and traditional scalpels in general, gynecological, thoracic surgery, and exposure to orthopedic structures (such as hip joint).
Device Story
LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears and Series 5 are ultrasonic surgical instruments for soft tissue incision and coagulation. They utilize torsional ultrasound (35.4-36.6kHz) generated by an LG4 generator to cut and coagulate tissue. Series 4 includes transducers for open and bariatric surgery; Series 5 features a redesigned transducer for 360° rotation (vs 240° in predicate). Devices are used in laparoscopic, open, or bariatric surgical settings by surgeons. The system provides hemostasis and tissue cutting, potentially reducing thermal injury compared to traditional electrosurgery. Output is controlled via finger switches or footswitch. The device benefits patients by providing precise cutting with simultaneous coagulation, minimizing bleeding and thermal damage.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included acoustic performance (cut times, frequency tracking), thermal spread in muscle/kidney/liver, dissection length, and transducer lifetime. No clinical or animal data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Energy source: Torsional ultrasound (35.4-36.6kHz). Materials: Ti 6Al/4V, Hastelloy, PTFE, stainless steel. Series 4: Perpendicular transducer stack. Series 5: Axially aligned transducer stack for 360° rotation. Connectivity: Wired to LG4 generator. Sterilization: EO (handpieces), Autoclave (transducers). Software: Digital frequency control/tracking.
Indications for Use
Indicated for soft tissue surgical incisions in general, gynecological, thoracic, and orthopedic (e.g., hip joint) surgery where bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are required. Suitable for use as an adjunct or substitute for electrosurgery, laser surgery, and traditional scalpels.

#### REASON FOR SUBMISSION A.
This 510(k) is being filed to add 2 variants of the LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears and also includes an application for an updated version of LOTUS, LOTUS Series 5
#### B. LEGALLY MARKETED PREDICATE DEVICES
The new LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears and LOTUS Series 5 device are substantially equivalent to those registered as part of Lotus Series 4 Ultrasonic Surgical System and Accessories (K151101).
{4}------------------------------------------------
#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION C.
### LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears
The LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears consist of a reusable Transducer and a Single use Handpiece and are designed to use torsional ultrasound in the 35.4-36.6kHz range to cut and coagulate soft tissue during laparoscopic, open or bariatric surgery. The 2 types of LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears subject to this application are the ES4-200CT transducer (with DS4-200CD Handpiece) that is designed for use in open surgery and the ES4-500CT transducer (with DS4-500CD Handpiece) that is designed for bariatric surgery. The new LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears transducers have a similar waveguide and blade form to that of the ES4-400CT that was previously cleared as part of the Lotus Series 4 Ultrasonic Surgical System and Accessories (K151101). The LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced shears use an identical transducer stack and casing and the same LG4 generator cleared as part of K151101. The Handpieces are identical in function as those cleared as part of K151101. They are identical to the DS4-200SD and DS4-500SD except that they use the same curved jaw as the DS4-400CD. All of these devices are described in detail in K151101.
All Transducers are reusable up to 50 times and the Handpieces are single use and provided sterile
### LOTUS Series 5
The LOTUS Series 5 is a modification to the Lotus Series 4 Ultrasonic Surgical System and Accessories. LOTUS Series 5 consists of new Transducers and Handpieces but are driven by the same generator as in the predicate - the LG4. The Transducers and Handpieces offer the improved feature of 360° rotation, whereas the predicate has rotation limited to 240°. To facilitate this feature, it has been necessary to redesign the transducer so that it sits axially in the plane of the waveguide. It still uses torsional ultrasound in the 35.4-36.6kHz range at the waveguide blade to perform its surgical function. The output at the waveguide blade is substantially equivalent to that of the predicate. The Handpieces of LOTUS Series 5 have had the area where the transducer fits to the Handpiece altered to allow for the 360° rotation, but the outer appearance of the Handpieces remains unchanged from the predicate.
All Transducers are reusable up to 50 times and the Handpieces are single use and provided sterile
{5}------------------------------------------------
#### D. INTENDED USE
# LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears
LOTUS Enhanced Shears are indicated for soft tissue surqical incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are important. They may be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, laser surgery, and traditional scalpels in general, gynecological, thoracic surgery, and exposure to orthopedic structures (such as hip joint).
## LOTUS Series 5
The LOTUS Series 5 is indicated for soft tissue surgical incisions when bleeding control and minimal thermal injury are important. It may be used as an adjunct to or substitute for electrosurgery, laser surgery, and traditional scalpels in general, gynecological, thoracic surgery, and exposure to orthopedic structures (such as hip joint).
#### ய் TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
### LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears
The fundamental technological characteristics (i.e. design, material, chemical composition, energy source) of the LOTUS Series 4 Enhanced Shears are equivalent to the predicate.
## LOTUS Series 5
The LOTUS Series 5 is the same as the predicate in that it uses the same fundamental mode of operation i.e. torsional ultrasound in the 35.4-36.6kHz range. All patient contacting materials are the same i.e. Ti 6Al/4V, Hastelloy, PTFE and stainless steel. It has the same indications for use and target population. It also uses the same generator as the predicate. The main difference between the subject and predicate devices is that the subject device allows for 360° rotation whereas the predicate was limited to 240° rotation.
