### Device Description:
The DiLumen I , is a sterile, single patient use, disposable instrument that consists of a pistol style handle, a flexible shaft with an articulating section at the distal end, and scissor blades. The handle incorporates controls that enable one-handed operation of the device, including rotating the shaft; opening, closing and rotating the blades independently from the shaft; articulating the distal end of the shaft in a specific plane; and locking the articulation in a fixed position. This allows the clinician maximum flexibility to cut, dissect and cauterize tissue during endoscopic interventions in the digestive tract. The clinician can insert the DiLumen Is into any endoscopic tool channel with a diameter of at least 6mm. With the DiLumen Is under direct visualization, the clinician can position the scissor blades as appropriate for the particular procedure using blade rotation, blade articulation, and shaft rotation as necessary. The clinician can then cut gastrointestinal tissue either with or without energizing the blades, depending on the specific need during the procedure.
In addition, the DiLumen Is has a plug at the bottom of the handle. If desired by the clinician, this plug can be used to connect the device to an electrosurgical generator via a dedicated cord in order
{4}------------------------------------------------
to apply monopolar electrical current through the blades to the target site in the gastrointestinal tract. When the device is connected to the generator, monopolar current can be applied through the blades to cut or cauterize tissue electrosurgically.
The DiLumen I , can also be used in conjunction with other endoscopic devices such as graspers, knives, etc. to perform endolumenal interventions.
## Intended Use / Indications for Use:
The DiLumen Endolumenal Interventional Scissors ("DiLumen I,") is a disposable monopolar electrosurgical device intended to be used for cutting, and cauterizing tissue within the digestive tract during endoscopic procedures.
## Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The technological principle underlying both the subject and predicate devices is manual and/or monopolar electrosurgical cutting, dissection, and cauterization of tissue. Both devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- . Both are sterile, single use, monopolar scissors that allow for one-handed clinician operation.
- . Both share key functional characteristics, including the control handle, an insulated working shaft with the same diameter, an articulating tip, and two curved rotating stainless-steel blades.
- . Each device can be connected to an electrosurgical generator using a dedicated cable plugged into the handle, in order to make use of monopolar electrical current to facilitate or enhance the scissors' functioning.
- . Both are prescription-use devices employed by medical professionals in a healthcare facility.
The primary technological difference between the subject and predicate devices is that the predicate's working shaft is rigid and shorter than that of the DiLumen Is. This does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness, because the greater flexibility and length of the DiLumen Is working shaft simply makes it easier for the device to follow the path inside a flexible tool channel within the gastrointestinal tract; it does not alter the device's principles of operation or the purposes for which it is used. Furthermore, FDA has cleared other endoscopic cutting devices with longer flexible shafts, such as the reference device, Sumitomo Bakelite's SB Knife (K152771). The DiLumen Is also has one feature that is not found in the predicate: a tethered Blades Lock attached to the bottom of the handle that can be inserted between the body of the handle to keep the trigger squeezed and the blades closed. However, this addition is for user convenience; the predicate's blades could also be kept closed by the clinician.

### Performance Data:
Performance testing has demonstrated that the DiLumen Is meets specifications and is as safe and effective as the predicate. The following performance data were provided in support of this Premarket Notification:
- 1. Biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, material mediated pyrogenicity)
- 2. Dissection Force Test
- 3. Tip Articulation Accuracy Test
- 4. Tip Rotation Accuracy Test
- 5. Shaft Rotation Accuracy Test
- 6. Cutting Durability Test
- 7. Monopolar Cable Insertion and Removal Force Test
- 8. Electrical Safety Test
- 9. Electromagnetic Compatibility Test
- 10. Usability Evaluation
- 11. Packaging and Transit Test
- 12. User Validation
- 13. EO Residuals
In all instances, the device functioned as intended and the results observed were as expected.
### Conclusion:
The DiLumen Is device has the same intended use and similar indications, technological
{6}------------------------------------------------
characteristics, and principles of operation as the identified predicate. The minor technological differences between the DiLumen I, and its predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety of effectiveness. Furthermore, the performance data presented in the 510(k) notice further support that the DiLumen I functions as safely and performs as well as the identified predicate. Thus, the DiLumen I , is substantially equivalent to the predicate pureWrist™ electrocautery laparoscopic instruments (K061425).
