Indications for Use
The PKS™ (Plasmakinetic System) BiLL™ (Bipolar Laparoscopic Loop) instrument is a 5mm bipolar electrosurgical device. The device is intended to be used for the amputation/sectioning of the mobilised uterus during Laparoscopic Supracervical (Subtotal) Hysterectomy and the resection of devascularized subserosal pedunculated myomas. It is used in conjunction with the Gyrus ACMI G400 Workstation Generator.
Device Story
PKS BiLL is a 5mm bipolar electrosurgical laparoscopic instrument; single-use; disposable. Operates with Gyrus ACMI G400 Workstation Generator. Input: electrical energy from generator. Transformation: bipolar RF energy delivered via loop to tissue for coagulation/cutting. Output: thermal tissue effect (amputation/resection). Used in OR by surgeons. Identification capacitor in connector cable signals generator to set optimal power parameters. Benefits: enables laparoscopic uterine amputation and myoma resection. Healthcare provider uses device to perform hysterectomy/myomectomy; output directly affects surgical procedure efficiency and tissue management.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Preclinical testing validated mechanical design, usability, and performance requirements compared to LiNA Loop predicate. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO-10993. Electrical/thermal safety and EMI testing per IEC 60601. Sterilization validation per ISO 11137 and ISO 11607.
Technological Characteristics
5mm bipolar electrosurgical loop; single-use; gamma-sterilized. Materials established in prior Gyrus ACMI devices. Sensing: identification capacitor in connector cable for generator power parameter setting. Energy: high-frequency RF bipolar. Standards: IEC 60601 (electrical/thermal safety, EMI), ISO-10993 (biocompatibility), ISO 11607/11137 (packaging/sterilization).
Indications for Use
Indicated for amputation/sectioning of the mobilised uterus during Laparoscopic Supracervical (Subtotal) Hysterectomy and resection of devascularized subserosal pedunculated myomas.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A bipolar endoscopic coagulator-cutter is a device used to perform female sterilization and other operative procedures under endoscopic observation. It destroys tissue with high temperatures by directing a high frequency electrical current through tissue between two electrical contacts of a probe. This generic type of device may include the following accessories: an electrical generator, probes, and electrical cables.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II. The special controls for this device are:(1) FDA's: (i) “Use of International Standard ISO 10993 ‘Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices—Part I: Evaluation and Testing,’ ” (ii) “510(k) Sterility Review Guidance 2/12/90 (K-90),” and (iii) “Guidance (‘Guidelines’) for Evaluation of Laproscopic Bipolar and Thermal Coagulators (and Accessories),” (2) International Electrotechnical Commission's IEC 60601-1-AM2 (1995-03), Amendment 2, “Medical Electrical Equipment—Part 1: General Requirements for Safety,” (3) American National Standards Institute/American Association for Medical Instrumentation's HF-18, 1993, “Electrosurgical Devices,” (4) Labeling: (i) Indication: For female tubal sterilization, and (ii) Instructions for use: (A) Destroy at least 2 centimeters of the fallopian tubes, (B) Use a cut or undampened sinusoidal waveform, (C) Use a minimum power of 25 watts, and (D) For devices with ammeters: continue electrode activation for 5 seconds after the visual endpoint (tissue blanching) is reached or current flow ceases indicating adequate tissue destruction.
