Indications for Use
The HydroCision SpineJet System is indicated for surgical procedures where the cutting and removal of soft tissue and the ablation and removal of hard tissue or bone is required. Specific functions include cutting, ablation and shaping of soft tissue, and decorticating and smoothing of bone, cartilage and other bone related tissue in open and minimally invasive in spinal surgeries.
Device Story
HydroCision SpineJet System is a surgical tool for spinal procedures; utilizes high-pressure saline stream to cut, debride, and remove soft/hard tissue. System consists of sterile, single-use disposable handpiece/tubing assembly and reusable HydroCision Console. Handpiece features two-lumen needle; high-pressure saline lumen delivers fluid; evacuation lumen removes debrided tissue/saline via Venturi effect. Operated by surgeon in OR using foot pedal; guided by fluoroscopy. Console provides pressurized saline and features touch-screen GUI. Device enables precise tissue removal; benefits include minimally invasive access to diseased spinal tissue. Output is physical tissue removal; healthcare provider uses visual feedback from fluoroscopy to guide handpiece. System is a modification of ArthroJet (K041233), extending working lengths and removing obsolete cautery/burr components.

### 5.6.Predicate Device:
HydroCision ArthroJet with Cautery, TurboBurr and Curette (K041233). HydroCision ArthroJet System has been rebranded to HydroCision SpineJet System.
The purpose of this Special 510(k) submission is to implement design changes to the predicate ArthroJet System (K041233) to create a product line extensions with additional working length to encompass different configurations of Spinelet handpiece models and remove obsolete components for Cautery, TurboBurr and Curette from the predicate device. These modifications to the 510(k) cleared ArthroJet System do not change the indications for use of the device, nor do they change the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
#### 5.7.Device Description:
The HydroCision SpineJet System comprises of (i) sterile disposable tubing assembly- SpineJet device and (ii) reusable console unit- HydroCision Console. The components of SpineJet device consists of a pump cartridge, handpiece and tubing assembly (also known as disposable hose). The SpineJet device is provided sterile, via ethylene oxide sterilization. The reusable HydroCision Console are packaged and sold separately. The SpineJet device is designed to be used in combination with the HydroCision console as a SpineJet system. The SpineJet system is connected with a foot pedal, a sterile bag of saline, and a waste container prior to operation.
The SpineJet device pump cartridge plugs into the front of the HydroCision Console. This connection provides power to the SpineJet device and pressurizes the saline to deliver to the tip of the SpineJet handpiece through high pressure saline tube. The SpineJet handpiece consists of a plastic handle and a two-lumen needle: high pressure tube lumen and evacuation tube lumen, which are welded together in the handle. As the high-pressure saline passes from one lumen nozzle to another lumen nozzle, the targeted tissues are cut, debrided and removed into the evacuation tube lumen, passing into the waste container. The SpineJet tubing assembly (also known as disposable hose) consists of three tubes: (i) Clear saline supply tube (fluid supply hose) - which delivers saline from saline bag to pump cartridge (ii) High pressure saline tube- which delivers pressurized saline from the pump cartridge to the tip of Spinelet handpiece and (iii) Evacuation tube (waste hose) - which removes debrided tissue, along with saline from tip of the handpiece and delivers it to waste container, which is provided by the facility.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The Hydrocision Console (K190804) is an electrically powered device. It provides the power to pressurize sterile saline fluid, which is delivered to the distal tip of the SpineJet handpiece. The HydroCision console includes the software functionality to provide touch-screen LCD display and graphical user interface.
To perform an open or minimally invasive spinal procedure, the SpineJet handpiece needle is inserted into the spine through cannula access set and guided toward the targeted diseased tissue under fluoroscopic guidance. Once the Spinelet handpiece needle is in position, the surgeon activates the high-pressure saline of Spinelet device using the Hydrocision console and foot pedal. Using fluoroscopic guidance, the surgeon uses the Spinelet handpiece to cut and remove the targeted diseased tissue. When the procedure is complete, the handpiece is withdrawn, and the incision is closed using steri-strips for a closed, minimally invasive procedure.
The Spinelet device is provided sterile, via ethylene oxide sterilization.
- 5.8.Indication for Use:
The HydroCision SpineJet System is indicated for surgical procedures where the cutting and removal of soft tissue and the ablation and removal of hard tissue or bone is required. Specific functions include cutting, ablation and shaping of soft tissue, and decorticating and smoothing of bone, cartilage and other bone related tissue in open and minimally invasive spinal surgeries.
### 5.9.Comparison of Technological Characteristics:
The HydroCision SpineJet System is substantially equivalent in intended use, design, performance and principles of operation to the predicate device- HydroCision ArthroJet with Cautery, TurboBurr and Curette (K041233). Both systems include same principle components- (i) Spinelet device consisting of a pump cartridge, handpiece and tubing assembly (disposable hose) and (ii) HydroCision console. The handpiece component of both devices consists of a plastic handle and a two-lumen needle welded in the handle. Both devices are designed to be connected with the HydroCision console, foot pedal, a sterile bag of saline (which is supplied by the facility), and a waste container (supplied by the facility) prior to operation. The differences in the design of the HydroCision SpineJet device and the predicate device are minor and raise no new issues of safety or efficacy. The HydroCision SpineJet device and the predicate device consist of the same technology and are sterilized with same acceptable method. Both the devices are made up of same biocompatible materials.
