All data included in this document is accurate and complete to the best of KSEA's knowledge. ## Applicant: Karl Storz Endoscopy - America, Inc. 600 Corporate Pointe Drive Culver City, CA 90230 (310) 558-1500 ## Contact: Kevin Kennan Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist ## Device Identification: **Common Name:** Trocar and Cannula **Trade Name:** (optional) Karl Storz Plastic Trocar ## Indication: The KSEA Plastic Trocars are intended for use by qualified surgeons during general endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. ## Device Description: The Karl Storz Plastic Trocars are manually operated surgical devices. The body contact portions of the KSEA Plastic Trocars are composed of surgical grade stainless steel and PEEK which are commonly used in medical devices for a wide range of applications and have a long history of biocompatibility for human use. ## Substantial Equivalence: The Karl Storz Plastic Trocars are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features and intended uses are similar. The minor differences between the Karl Storz Plastic Trocars and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of these devices. ## Signed: Kevin Kennan Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist 60 107 {1} DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration 9200 Corporate Boulevard Rockville MD 20850 Mr. Kevin Kennan Senior Regulatory Affairs Specialist Karl Storz Endoscopy 600 Corporate Pointe Culver City, California 90230-7600 Re: K974366 Trade Name: KSEA Plastic Trocars Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GCJ Dated: November 19, 1997 Received: November 20, 1997 Dear Mr. Kennan: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for JAN - 8 1998 {2} Page 2 - Mr. Kennan devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
