Intended Use

The Symani® Surgical System is intended for soft tissue manipulation to perform anastomosis, suturing, and ligation microsurgery techniques on small blood vessels and lymphatic ducts between 0.1 and 2.5 mm in open free-flap surgery of the breast and extremities and open lymphatic surgery of the extremities. The Symani® Surgical System is indicated for use during microsurgical procedures when use of a motion scaling function is deemed appropriate by the surgeon. The System is indicated for use in adults. It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an appropriate operating environment in accordance with the Instructions for Use.

Device Story

Symani Surgical System is an electromechanical robotic-assisted surgical device (RASD) for microsurgery. System comprises three main components: CMM (Cart-Mounted Manipulator), Console, and NanoWrist instruments. Surgeon operates system from console, utilizing wristed end-effectors to perform precise tissue manipulation, suturing, and ligation. System provides selectable motion scaling (7x to 20x) to filter physiological tremor and enhance dexterity. Used in operating rooms by trained physicians. Output is real-time mechanical movement of instruments mirroring surgeon's hand inputs at a scaled ratio. Benefits include increased precision and improved dexterity for microsurgical tasks on small vessels/ducts. Subject device adds Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut instrument to existing portfolio, featuring integrated micro-blade for suture cutting.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including simulated use, gripping force, torque, and structural integrity testing of the new Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut instrument.

Technological Characteristics

Electromechanical system for open microsurgery; includes CMM, console, and wristed NanoWrist instruments. Features selectable motion scaling (7x–20x). New instrument (Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut) adds a micro-blade to the existing Supermicro Needle Holder design. System operates via surgeon-controlled input at console with robotic output at the surgical site.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults undergoing microsurgical procedures requiring soft tissue manipulation, anastomosis, suturing, or ligation of small blood vessels/lymphatic ducts (0.1–2.5 mm) in open free-flap breast/extremity surgery or open lymphatic extremity surgery, where motion scaling is deemed appropriate by the surgeon.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electromechanical system for open microsurgery is a software-controlled electromechanical system with bedside human/device interfaces and without an integrated visualization system which allows a qualified user to perform surgical techniques during open mircosurgical procedures using surgical instruments attached to an electromechanical arm.

Dear Zainab Amini:

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 (the 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 available 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.

# III. PREDICATE DEVICE INFORMATION:

Predicate Device: Symani Surgical System, DEN230032

## ıv. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

Symani is designed to provide surgeons with increased precision while leveraging the surgeon's own surgical experiences. The Symani Surgical System consists of three components, the CMM, Console, and Instruments, with selectable scaling factors between 7x to 20x to improve motion control and scale down any physiological tremor of the operator in a similar fashion to conventional robotic-assisted surgical device (RASD) systems, and the instruments with wristed end-effectors to improve dexterity for tissue manipulation and suturing. The subject device has the same intended use and indications for use, and same technological characteristics as the predicate device, DEN230032.

The Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut instrument has been added to the NanoWrist Instruments' portfolio.

# v. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Symani® Surgical System is intended for soft tissue manipulation to perform anastomosis, suturing, and ligation microsurgery techniques on small blood vessels and lymphatic ducts between 0.1 and 2.5 mm in open free-flap surgery of the breast and extremities and open lymphatic surgery of the extremities. The Symani® Surgical System is indicated for use during microsurgical procedures when use of a motion scaling function is deemed appropriate by the surgeon. The System is indicated for use in adults. It is intended to be used by trained physicians in an appropriate operating environment in accordance with the Instructions for Use.

# vi. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

The technological characteristics of the subject and predicate devices remain the same in this submission. As the instruments are similar to the predicate device, the differences between the subject and predicate devices are the addition of the small blade and reduced size for the current Symani instruments (Micro Needle Holder Suture Cut and Supermicro Needle Holder), therefore, the addition of the new Instrument to the Symani Surgical System range of Instruments (i.e., the Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut). More specifically, the Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut design is the same as the current Supermicro Needle holder with the addition features of the small (micro) blade mounted on the driving tip.

## vii. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance tests were conducted and submitted within this submission for a determination of substantial equivalence of the new Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut compared to the current instruments:

- -Simulated use test
- -Gripping force & torque
- Structural integrity tests -

## villi. CONCLUSION

Based on the information provided within this submission, and comparison of the subject vs. predicate device, the subject device Symani Surgical System has the same intended use and indications for use, and technological characteristics as the predicate device. The performance testing provided within this submission for the introduction of Symani Surgical System's new instrument Supermicro Needle Holder Suture Cut demonstrated that use of the Symani Surgical System is as safe and effective as the predicate device, DEN230032. Therefore, the subject device is deemed to be substantially equivalent to the legally commercialized predicate device.
