## Indications for Use

The Gyrus Medical Inc. Open Forceps are intended for electrosurgical coagulation, mechanical grasping and dissection of tissue, and sealing of vessels up to 7mm, during the performance of open general surgical procedures.

## Device Story

Gyrus Medical Open Forceps are electrosurgical instruments designed for use in open general surgery. The device functions by providing mechanical grasping and dissection of tissue, combined with electrosurgical energy for coagulation and vessel sealing (up to 7mm). Operated by surgeons in an OR setting, the device facilitates hemostasis and tissue manipulation. The output is the physical effect of the electrosurgical current on the targeted tissue, enabling the surgeon to control bleeding and perform surgical dissection. The device benefits patients by providing a dual-purpose tool for grasping and sealing, potentially reducing operative time and blood loss.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical instrument for cutting and coagulation. Class II device (21 CFR 878.4400). Mechanical grasping and dissection capability with integrated electrosurgical energy delivery for vessel sealing up to 7mm.

## Regulatory Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

Dear Mr. Sullivan:

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. 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 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
