## Intended Use

The DANNIK Titanium Ligation Clips is designed for the intended use of ligating blood vessels .The Clip has been specially designed to insure occlusion of vessels and prevent any slippage once applied. The clip has applications in many types of surgical procedures where hemostasis is required or radiographic marking is necessary. Choose the size of clip to fit the procedure making certain the tissue to be occluded fits completely within the clip. The DANNIK Titanium Ligation, clip can be left in vivo without sequela as it is biologically inert.

## Device Story

DANNIK Titanium Ligation Clip is a passive, implantable surgical device used for vessel ligation and hemostasis. The device consists of titanium clips supplied in cartridges. It is intended for use by surgeons in various surgical procedures. The clip is applied to tissue or vessels to ensure occlusion and prevent slippage. Being biologically inert, it can be left in vivo. The device is provided sterile for single use. It functions as a mechanical clamp; no electronic or software components are involved.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance evaluation included appearance, dimensions, surface roughness, hardness, toughness, clamping (retention) performance, and corrosion resistance. All tests passed.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Grade I Titanium (ASTM F-67 95, ISO 5832-2-93). Form factor: Implantable clips in four sizes (small, medium, large, medium-large). Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (ISO 11135-1). Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant. Single-use, non-electronic, passive mechanical device.

## Regulatory Identification

An implantable clip is a clip-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.

Dear Olga Haberland:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

{1}------------------------------------------------

statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

# 7. Non-Clinical Tests

The DANNIK Titanium Ligation Clips has been evaluated by our Design Engineer and through performance studies and bench testing, as attached in ANNEX F. Testing encompassed appearance, dimension, surface roughness, hardness toughness , clamping( retention) performance and corrosion resistance.

{7}------------------------------------------------

All the test results were "PASS". The performance of Titanium Clip meets the technical standard requirements of Dannik as compared to the predicate.

- 8. Clinical Tests No Clinical trials performed on the DANNIK Titanium Ligation Clips .
### 9. Conclusions

The subject device has equivalent indications for use as the predicate device. The technological characteristics, non-clinical testing and performance and bench testing of the DANNIK Titanium Ligation Clips show that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.
