Device Story

neXus Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System; console-based generator with reusable handpieces and single-use disposable probes. Inputs: electrical drive signal from console; irrigation fluid. Operation: piezo stack converts electrical signal to mechanical vibrations (22-37 kHz) at probe tip for tissue fragmentation/emulsification; peristaltic pump provides irrigation; vacuum pump aspirates waste. Used in OR by surgeons. Output: fragmented/emulsified tissue and waste liquids. System supports electrosurgery via optional RF interface. Benefits: precise tissue removal, reduced thermal damage, efficient debridement. Healthcare providers use console touchscreen GUI to adjust vibration, irrigation, and aspiration parameters. Dynamic Tissue Response (DTC) feature available on SonaStar Elite handpiece.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION** The neXus Ultrasonic Surgical Aspirator System is intended for fragmentation, emulsification and aspiration of both soft and hard (i.e. bone) tissue. The system includes a generator housed inside the console. A reusable handpiece is plugged directly into the front panel of the console. The generator and handpiece are compatible with various single use disposable “probes” which are selected and attached to the handpiece by the end user. An irrigation system provides sterile irrigant to the operative site. An aspiration system removes the fragmented, emulsified material and waste liquids from the operative site. Accessories include a wireless footswitch, various probe tip combinations, sterilization trays, probe covers, assembly & disassembly wrenches, irrigation & aspiration tubing sets, disposable electrocautery cable, and waste collection canisters. 2 {8} K261448 Page 3 of 19 # 4.

PERFORMANCE DATA ### Biocompatibility Data The ultrasonic tip (and sheath, when applicable) are direct patient contacting devices classified as externally communicating devices, in contact with tissue and/or bone, with limited contact duration ( \( \leq \) 24h) based on their intended use. The irrigation tubing, which is in contact with the fluid path, is an indirect patient contacting device classified as externally communicating devices, in contact with tissue and/or bone, with limited contact ( \( \leq \) 24h). Like the master products, the subject device accessories are categorized as an externally communicating, tissue/bone contact, limited duration device. The biocompatibility endpoints for this class of device are: • Cytotoxicity: ISO 10993-5 • Sensitization: ISO 10993-10 - Irritation or Intracutaneous Reactivity: ISO 10993-10 • Acute Systemic Toxicity: ISO 10993-11 • Pyrogenicity: USP <151> There have been no modifications related to patient contacting materials, therefore the biocompatibility testing submitted under K221235 remains valid. ### Sterilization and Shelf Life ### Sterility Single Use Disposable Components – provided Sterile The single The Probe Kits are provided with sterile and are for single use. Each contains the following basic components: - Probe Tip assembly: titanium horn + tip, available in various sizes and types, some are provided with additional fittings, O-rings, stylets, etc. • Probe Sheath: rigid plastic or silicone - Tubing Set: irrigation only or irrigation + aspiration, and tubing “pucks” These disposable components are supplied in a combined, sterile package, based on the probe tip selected by the customer. Reusable Components- End User Cleaned and Sterilized All reusable handpiece parts and accessories are end user cleaned and sterilized before each use as per the validated instructions contained in the Instructions for Use of each Handpiece. The instructions for use also provide the validated expected use life for the reusable components. 17 {23} K261448 Page 18 of 19 ## Shelf Life The single use disposable kits were tested to support a 37-month shelf life. The results of the accelerated aged testing along with real-time aging performed on EtO sterilized test articles and packaging materials demonstrated that the test articles and associated sterile barrier and outer packaging are found to be acceptable for use with a 37-month shelf life. The study concluded that the device maintains sterility and performance through the labeled 37-month expiration period. ## Electrical Safety and Electromagnetic compatibility No changes have been made to the device that would impact its electromagnetic compatibility since clearance under K231117. The testing was performed according to the recognized edition of IEC 60601-1-2 on the subject device. The neXus Console with compatible handpieces was tested in accordance with IEC 60601-1:2005 (3rd Edition) + A1:2012 + A2:2020 (Edition 3.2), Medical electrical equipment - Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance, with the exception of Clause 11.7 regarding biocompatibility, which is addressed separately. The device passed all applicable tests, including U.S. national deviations. Electrical, mechanical, and thermal safety testing included evaluation of electrical shock protection, insulation, grounding, leakage currents, dielectric strength, mechanical strength, stability, and protection against excessive temperatures under normal and single-fault conditions. The testing demonstrated compliance with the requirements for basic safety and essential performance. In addition, relevant sections of IEC 60601-2-2, Medical electrical equipment - Part 2-2: Particular requirements for the basic safety and essential performance of high-frequency surgical equipment and high-frequency surgical accessories, were evaluated, as applicable, to verify that active accessory insulation and associated safety requirements were met. ## Software Verification and Validation Testing Software verification and validation testing was conducted and a summary of testing provided. The software classification for this device is unchanged as a major level of concern. The following verification tests were conducted: - DTC DSP pulse mode verification - DTC GUI verification - Fault detection and response test using the SonaStar Elite handpiece - neXus test and calibration (Regression testing) - System performance verification (Regression testing) - SonaStar Elite GUI verification (Regression testing) 18 {24} K261448 Page 19 of 19 # **Bench Testing** The following bench testing was conducted to support the claim of substantial equivalence: - Functional testing - Simulated use testing - Comparative durability testing # **Animal Testing** Not applicable. Animal studies are not necessary to establish the substantial equivalence of this device. # **Clinical Data** Not applicable. Clinical studies are not necessary to establish the substantial equivalence of this device. # **CONCLUSION** Technological comparison and comparative performance testing demonstrated sufficient similarity of the subject device to the predicate. Therefore, the subject device was found to be substantially equivalent in terms of safety and effectiveness to the predicate device for requested indications for use. 19
