Ellis<br>Regulatory Affairs Associate<br>Telephone: 651-697-4807<br>Fax: 651-697-4808 | | Summary Preparation Date: | July 23, 2001 | This summary is provided in compliance with section 513(I)(3)(A) of the Act and summarizes the safety and effectiveness information contained in this premarket notification submission for a modification to the Protégé™ Self-expanding Nitinol Stent with StarPort™ Delivery Technology. The Protégé™ Self-expanding Nitinol Stent with StarPort™ Delivery Technology is intended as a palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. The Protégé™ stent is a self-expanding nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) stent provided in multiple lengths, (20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 mm) and diameters (6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 mm). The stent is electropolished. The stent is premounted on an 80 or 120 cm working length, 0.035" over-thewire delivery catheter designed for transhepatic access. Upon deployment, the stent achieves its predetermined diameter and exerts a constant, gentle outward force to establish patency in the biliary ducts. The disposable StarPort Delivery Technology system is comprised of an inner and outer sheath, which are locked together with a safety lock. The modified Protégé™ Self-expanding Nitinol Stent with StarPort™ Delivery Technology, is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Protégé™ Self-expanding Nitinol Stent with StarPort™ Delivery Technology (K003040) in intended use, materials, technological characteristics and performance. A stent retainer feature has been added to enhance the smoothness of deployment and additional ports for enhanced contrast injection. Additionally, a 10 mm stent diameter has been added to further expand the product offering. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
