Intended Use

The GORE® VIABIL® Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis is intended for palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree.

Device Story

The GORE® VIABIL® Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis is a flexible, radially compressed stent mounted on a delivery catheter for endoscopic implantation in the biliary tract. The device is designed to palliate malignant biliary strictures. The subject modification introduces a guidewire exit port near the distal end of the catheter, allowing for the use of shorter (minimum 260cm) guidewires, which enables single-user control during the procedure. The stent itself remains unchanged from the predicate, consisting of an ePTFE/FEP film tube supported by an FEP-coated Nitinol stent. The device is used by clinicians in an endoscopic setting. The output is the physical placement of the stent to maintain biliary patency, providing symptomatic relief for patients with malignant obstructions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical evaluations or animal studies were required to support this submission. Substantial equivalence was demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing, including simulated use deployment, dimensional analysis, tensile/bond strength, and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1.

Technological Characteristics

Stent: ePTFE/FEP film tube with FEP-coated Nitinol support. Delivery system: Dual lumen catheter with distal guidewire exit port. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Biocompatibility: ISO 10993-1 compliant. MR safety: Passive implant evaluated per FDA guidance.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree in patients requiring biliary stenting.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Smith: We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling: The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the vascular system have not been established {1}------------------------------------------------ Furthermore, the indication for biliary use must be prominently displayed in all labeline. including pouch box, and carton labels, instructions for use, and other promotional materials, in close proximity to the trade name, of a similar point size, and in bold print. Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement described above is added to your labeling. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Testing was conducted on representative sterile, aged samples. The test samples were subjected to simulated use deployment testing, dimensional testing, tensile/bond strength testing, deployment force, accessory component compatibility, deployment accuracy, and deployment reliability. Testing demonstrated the subject Viabil device met the established acceptance criteria for up to the intended device shelf life, consistent with the predicate Viabil device. Biocompatibility testing was conducted per ISO10993-1 and confirmed the subject device, like the predicate device, is biocompatible for its intended use. Packaging testing of the subject Viabil device in the predicate Viabil device packaging system confirmed that the packaging system {7}------------------------------------------------ was acceptable for the GORE® VIABIL® Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis device. MR Safety testing was conducted in recognition of FDA's guidance, Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment and the results included in the device labeling. Animal study: No animal studies were required to support this submission. Clinical No clinical evaluations were required to support this submission. #### Conclusion Based on the information contained within this 510(k) premarket notification, W. L. Gore & Associates concludes that the subject GORE® VIABIL® Short Wire Biliary Endoprosthesis device is substantially equivalent to the predicate GORE® VIABIL® Biliary Endoprosthesis device in terms of indications for use, materials, biocompatibility, sterilization, packaging, labeling and performance.
