Indications for Use
The A123 is used for aspiration, harvesting, filtering and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring. The system should be used with a legally marketed vacuum or aspirator apparatus as a source of suction. If harvested fat is to be re-implanted, the harvested fat is to be used without any additional manipulation. The A123 is intended for use in the following surgical specialties when aspiration of soft tissue is desired: plastic and reconstructive surgery, neurosurgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, and laparoscopic surgery.
Device Story
AuraGen 123 (A123) is a sterile, single-use, disposable suction lipoplasty system used in operating rooms. It connects to a user-provided liposuction cannula, vacuum source, and waste canister. The device enables surgeons to harvest, wash, filter, concentrate, and transfer autologous adipose tissue for immediate reinjection into the same patient. Components include a collection chamber, mesh basket, concentration chamber with fluid-absorbing pads, AuraClens powder packets, tubing, and a mixing spatula. The system processes fat to improve concentration for body contouring. By facilitating efficient fat processing during the same procedure, it benefits patients by providing autologous tissue for reconstruction or cosmetic enhancement without additional manipulation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Evaluated cell viability (Trypan Blue), fat volume, fat concentration, time-to-graft, device usability, canister implosion resistance, tubing collapse, system leak, and tubing tensile strength. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993; sterilization validated per ISO 11137. All tests met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Sterile, single-use disposable system. Components: collection chamber, mesh basket, concentration chamber with fluid-absorbing pads, AuraClens powder, tubing, and spatula. Mechanical suction principle; requires external vacuum source. Materials biocompatible per ISO 10993. Sterilized via Gamma irradiation per ISO 11137. Mechanical performance tested per ISO 10079-1:2015.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing aesthetic body contouring or surgical procedures requiring soft tissue aspiration across plastic, reconstructive, neuro, GI, urological, general, orthopedic, gynecological, thoracic, and laparoscopic specialties.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A suction lipoplasty system is a device intended for aesthetic body contouring. The device consists of a powered suction pump (containing a microbial filter on the exhaust and a microbial in-line filter in the connecting tubing between the collection bottle and the safety trap), collection bottle, cannula, and connecting tube. The microbial filters, tubing, collection bottle, and cannula must be capable of being changed between patients. The powered suction pump has a motor with a minimum of 1/3 horsepower, a variable vacuum range from 0 to 29.9 inches of mercury, vacuum control valves to regulate the vacuum with accompanying vacuum gauges, a single or double rotary vane (with or without oil), a single or double diaphragm, a single or double piston, and a safety trap.

# Intended Use / Indications for Use
The A123 is used for aspiration, harvesting, filtering and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring. The system should be used with a legally marketed vacuum or aspirator apparatus as a source of suction. If harvested fat is to be re-implanted, the harvested fat is to be used without any additional manipulation.
The A123 is intended for use in the following surgical specialties when aspiration of soft tissue is desired: plastic and reconstructive surgery, neurosurgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, and laparoscopic surgery.
### Performance Data
The Company conducted biocompatibility testing for the A123 and the AuraClens powder in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10993 for external communicating devices having contact < 24hours. In all instances, the test articles were found to be biocompatible.
The A123 and the AuraClens powder were sterilized by Gamma irradiation and both met the sterility requirements per ISO 11137 - Sterilization of Health Care Products.
In addition, the following table summarizes the bench testing performed with the device:
| Bench Test | Methods |
|---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Cell Viability | Trypan Blue Dye Exclusion test |
| Fat Volume | Processed adipose tissue was centrifuged to separate the oil, fat, and aqueous phases. The volume of the fat layer was measured. |
| Fat Concentration | Processed adipose tissue was centrifuged to separate the oil, fat, and aqueous phases. The fat concentration was calculated as: volume of the fat layer/volume of adipose tissue processed. |
| Time-to-Graft (TTG) | Time from the start of the washing step to the end of the transfer/extraction step was measured.) |
| Device Usability | Usability of the device was evaluated. |
| Canister implosion | A123 units were tested for medical vacuum suction canister implosion test requirements per ISO 10079-1:2015(E) Medical Suction Equipment Part 1, Section 6.1.3 and Annex A.3 |
| Tubing collapse | A123 units were tested for medical vacuum suction canister tubing collapse test requirements per ISO 10079-1:2015(E) Medical Suction Equipment Part 1, Section 6.3.1 and Annex A.4. |
| System leak | A123 units were tested for vacuum seal to determine leakage per the |

| | specification in ISO 10079-1:2015(E) Medical Suction Equipment Part 1, Section 7.7.1 and Annex A.8.1. |
| Tubing tensile strength<br>(pull-off force) (to assess<br>tubing connections) | A123 units were tested to measure the tensile strength (pull-off force) of the A123 tubing assembly and the user-supplied liposuction and aspiration tubing from the A123 tubing connectors. |
The A123 meets the acceptance criteria for all tests.
### Substantial Equivalence
The A123 is as safe and effective as the GID 700 Tissue Canister (the "Predicate Device") that FDA has already cleared (K120902). The A123 has the same intended uses and indications for use, as well as similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. In addition, the minor technological differences between the A123 and its predicate device raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the A123 is as safe and effective as the GID 700 Tissue Canister. Thus, the A123 is substantially equivalent.
