The system comprises a handle, a stainless steel retractor blade, and a fiber optic light panel. The handle secures the blade and light panel, providing an ACMI-compatible adaptor for connection to external light sources. The device is operated by surgeons in a clinical or surgical setting to expose conduits or surgical sites. By lifting the subcutaneous layer, the device provides necessary visualization and access for dissection, facilitating surgical procedures and potentially reducing trauma through improved exposure. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data; substantial equivalence is based on device description and conformance to standards. ## Technological Characteristics Manual surgical instrument. Components: stainless steel retractor blade, handle with ACMI light source adaptor, fiber optic light panel. Non-powered, non-electronic. No software or algorithms. ## Regulatory Identification A surgical lamp (including a fixture) is a device intended to be used to provide visible illumination of the surgical field or the patient. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an operating room lamp, a surgical instrument light, a surgical floor standing light, an endoscopic surgical light, a surgical light connector, a ceiling mounted surgical light, a surgical light carrier, surgical light accessories, a surgical lamp, a remote illuminator, or an incandescent surgical lamp, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9. ## Predicate Devices - SaphLITE® System ([K960400](/device/K960400.md)) - ENDOPATH® Ultra-Retractor ([K973139](/device/K973139.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

MANUFACTURER: Genzyme Biosurgery A division of GENZYME CORORATION 600 Airport Road Fall River, MA 02720 NOV 2 5 2002 Contract: Karen K. Sylvia, Sr. Regulatory Specialist Date Prepared: 6 September, 2002 #### 2. DEVICE: | Tradename: | Tissue Retractor System | |-----------------|------------------------------------------------------------------| | Classification: | Endoscopic Instruments and Accessories per 21 CFR §
876.1500) | | Common Name: | Tissue Retractor | #### 3. PREDICATE DEVICE: The predicate devices used to determine substantial equivalence for the Genzyme Tissue Retractor System, are the SaphLITE® System marketed by Genzyme Biosurgery, Fall River, MA 02720 (K960400), and the ENDOPATH® Ultra-Retractor marketed by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. (K973139) ### 4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION: The Genzyme Tissue Retractor System s is a surgical instrument that provides a means to create and maintain a cavity by retracting the subcutaneous layer to expose the conduit. The retraction is sufficient to allow enough exposure to dissect and retract subcutaneous tissue for performing all types of surgical procedures. This system consists of the following components: - Handle: The handle securely holds the retractor blade, light panel, and provides a ロ host adaptor for ACMI connection to a variety of commercially available light sources. - Retractor/blade: The stainless steel retractor blade attaches to the handle for lifting the subcutaneous layer. - Fiber Optic Light Panel: The light panel fits securely into the handle on the underside of the retractor blade to provide illumination for the procedure. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### 5. INTENDED USE: The Tissue Retractor System is intended for use in dissecting and retracting in all types of surgical procedures requiring dissection and retraction of tissue. ## 6. COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS: The technological characteristics of the New Device are the same as the predicate devices. The determination of substantial equivalence for this device was based on a detailed device description, conformance to consensus standards and voluntary standards. Based on the 510(k) summaries and 510(k) statements (21 CFR §807 and the information provided herein, we conclude that the new device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Sylvia Senior Regulatory Specialist 600 Airport Road Fall River, Massachusetts 02720 Re: K022989 Trade/Device Name: Tissue Retractor System Regulation Number: 878.4580 Regulation Name: Surgical endoscopic light Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: FSW Dated: September 6, 2002 Received: September 9, 2002 #### Dear Ms. Sylvia: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls.
