The device features a modified single-slit stainless steel tip for tissue incision, an enlarged handle for ergonomic grip, and a cannula with trapezoidal fascia threads for anchoring. It includes a CO2 port with a male luer cap and a double-wall valve lock to maintain valve position and prevent premature release. Used by general, thoracic, gynecologic, and urological surgeons in clinical settings to facilitate minimally invasive procedures. The device is manually operated; performance is assessed via pressure testing and ease of insertion compared to predicate systems. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing performed in a simulated human abdominal cavity compared the GeniCon system to LifeQuest and Core trocar valve assemblies. Metrics included pressure testing, ease of insertion, and ease of use with common laparoscopic instruments. Results indicated performance equal to or superior to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Materials include stainless steel (tip). Features: modified single-slit tip, trapezoidal fascia threads on cannula, CO2 port with male luer cap, and double-wall valve lock. Available in 2.5, 5, 7/8, 10, and 12mm diameters. Manual operation; no energy source or software components. ## Regulatory Identification An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals.

Contact: Gary Haberland 573 Waterscape Way Orlando, FL 32828 Phone: (407) 273-7619 Fax: (407) 306-9356 Date Prepared: April 19, 1999 Trade Name: GeniCon Trocar/Cannula System Common Name: Trocar Classification Name: Trocar (per CFR 870.1390) The intended use of this device is for laparoscopic surgery by general, thoracic, gynecologic and urological surgeons. The legally marketed device to which we are claiming previous acceptance of predicate device is the LifeQuest Point Gard and Dexide trocars both in sizes 2.5,5, 7/8, 10, 12mm systems. Engineering testing has demonstrated that the valve assembly performs better than that of the Life Quest and Core trocar valve assembly. This testing incorporated a simulated human abdominal cavity and the method of insertion of the device and use with various common laparoscopic instruments. In all areas of performance, this device performed equal to if not superior in pressure testing, ease of use and insertion. This device incorporates several design features which facilitate the surgeons use both during insertion and while instrumentation is being inserted and manipulated. Trocar Tip: - A modified single slit tip to provide easier insertion for the surgeon by enabling the tip to . minimally incise the tissue while providing a lower profile transition from the stainless tip to the cannula. Trocar Handle: - Enlarged to provide a more positive fit in the surgeon's palm during insertion, and provides a . groove to provide a more positive fit for the thumb during removal or re-insertion. Cannula: - Trapezoidal fascia threads, they provide an easier insertion while a positive anchoring during . instrument use. - CO2 port with male luer cap provides a "finger grip" during device insertion while the male luer . cap is easier to remove and replace than the Apple silicone cap. - . Double wall valve lock, assists in maintaining the valve position and to alleviate the premature release sometimes experienced by the Apple product. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
