Indications for Use

Percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation with carbon dioxide to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to the placement of trocars during laparoscopic surgery Use as an endoscopic video camera to provide visible light imaging in a variety of endoscopic and laparoscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures

Device Story

VereSee is a rigid endoscope system comprising an Access-Insufflation Cannula Set and a Camera Control Unit (CCU). The system uses a CMOS camera and light fibers at the distal tip of a stainless-steel hypotube to capture and transmit visual data. The device is inserted percutaneously into the peritoneal cavity; it facilitates CO2 insufflation to create pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery. The CCU processes CMOS signals for display on HDMI-compatible monitors. Used in operating rooms or surgical centers by surgeons, the device provides real-time visualization during abdominal entry and subsequent diagnostic or surgical procedures. The camera component is reusable, while the cannula set is single-use. The system benefits patients by enabling closed abdominal entry with visual guidance, potentially reducing risks associated with blind trocar placement.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data or animal testing was required. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including optical performance (ISO 8600-3 to 8600-5), physical characteristics, and mechanical testing (flow, leakage, and bond strength).

Technological Characteristics

Rigid endoscope; stainless-steel construction; CMOS imaging sensor; LED illumination; HDMI connectivity. Components: Access Cannula, Insufflation Cannula, Camera. Reusable camera, single-use cannula set. Sterilization required for reusable components. Complies with ISO 8600-3 through 8600-5 for optical performance.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring endoscopic or laparoscopic procedures for pneumoperitoneum establishment via CO2 insufflation or visualization of body cavities, tissues, and organs.

The VereSee Camera and Access-Insufflation Cannula Sets are provided in two nominal lengths: 150mm and 200mm. The VereSee Camera and Access/Insufflation Cannula Set consist of three concentric stainless-steel hypotubes with a handle and an umbilical cable for connection to the CCU. The three cannulas include: 1) Access Cannula with a clear, pointed tip for penetration and visualization during abdomen entry, 2) Insufflation Cannula, which connects to insufflation tubing and seals to prevent leakage of insufflation gas; and 3) Camera, a stainless-steel hypo tube with a CMOS camera surrounded by light fibers at its tip. The Access/Insufflation Cannula Set is provided sterile for single-patient use, whereas the Camera is provided non-sterile and for reuse. Page 1 {5} K261139 The VereSee Camera Control Unit (CCU) connects the CMOS camera to HDMI compatible monitors to provide an image during use. The CCU converts signals from the VereSee CMOS Camera to a format compatible with HDMI display input requirements ## Intended Use/Indications for Use 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) VereSee is intended for: - Percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation with carbon dioxide to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to the placement of trocars during laparoscopic surgery - Use as an endoscopic video camera to provide visible light imaging in a variety of endoscopic and laparoscopic diagnostic and surgical procedures ## Indications for Use Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) VereSee shares the same intended use as the predicate device, the VereSee Optical Veres Needle and Endoscopic Camera. Both devices have the same intended use and function as a Veress needle to enable a closed abdominal entry technique for laparoscopy. Each device is inserted into the patient's peritoneal cavity to allow for insufflation with carbon dioxide gas, creating a pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery. Both devices provide visualization during needle insertion. Both devices share the same intended use as an endoscopic camera, providing illumination and visualization of body cavities, tissues and organs during diagnostic and surgical endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. Both devices share the same purpose –to provide users visualization during minimally invasive endoscopic or laparoscopic procedures. Both devices share the same key functions – namely, illuminating a body cavity or surgical site, collecting images using a camera and displaying the images to the user on a monitor. Both devices are prescription devices, used by surgeons in hospitals, surgical centers, or operating rooms. Both devices share the same target patient population – that is, patients requiring an endoscopic or laparoscopic procedure. Both devices have the same patient body contact. There are two differences between the devices: 1) the trade name and 2) one component of VereSee – the Camera – is reusable whereas this component is a sterile, single-use, disposable component in the predicate device. This characteristic is not new for laparoscopic and endoscopic devices – many laparoscopic and endoscopic devices undergo reprocessing and sterilization between patient uses to provide a cost-effective option for healthcare facilities. ## Technological Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6) Although there are some differences in technological characteristics, VereSee and the predicate VereSee Optical Veres Needle and Endoscopic Camera share many of the same technological characteristics. Both consist of the same two components: 1) a handpiece that provides for distal LED illumination and a CMOS camera and 2) a camera control unit. Both are rigid endoscopes. Both handpieces share the same design, consisting of three cannulas: 1) Access Cannula, 2) Insufflation Cannula and 3) Camera Cannula (Camera). Both use a CMOS camera chip for visualization, providing video imaging to the user. Both use a monitor to display the images during use. Both have the same field of view and direction of view. One key difference is that the VereSee Camera is reusable whereas the VereSee Camera in the predicate device was intended for single-patient use. The main differences in technological characteristics stem from design changes associated with the Camera to improve reprocessing and sterilization. VereSee is also offered in a new longer length for user preference. The spring from the Camera was removed as the spring created small areas which could potentially be difficult to clean. In the predicate device, the spring feature was intended to provide a form of tactile feedback similar to a standard Veress needle. Tactile feedback is still provided when the Access Cannula tip penetrates the peritoneum. ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b) Performance testing included: 1) Optical performance (ISO 8600-3 through ISO 8600-5) 2) Physical characteristics 3) Mechanical testing (flow and leakage testing) to evaluate key performance requirements 4) Mechanical testing (destructive) to evaluate the physical strength of the bonds between components Not Applicable Verification and validation activities were successfully completed to confirm the subject device meets product requirements and design Page 2 {6} K261139 specifications. VereSee did not require animal testing or clinical studies to support the determination of substantial equivalence. Based on the same intended use, similar technological characteristics, and successful completion of bench testing, VereSee is as safe and as effective as the legally marketed predicate device. Any differences between the subject device and predicate device are considered minor and do not raise different questions concerning safety and effectiveness. The data provided in this 510(k) notification demonstrate that VereSee is as safe and effective for its intended use as the predicate device and does not raise any new safety or effectiveness questions compared to the predicate devices.
