Intended Use
The Interject™ Injection Therapy Needle Catheter is used endoscopically to introduce a sclerosing agent or vasoconstrictor into selected sites to control actual or potential bleeding lesions in the digestive system; and the injection of saline to aid in Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR), polypectomy procedures and to control non-variceal hemorrhage.
Device Description
The Interject Injection Therapy Needle is an injection needle designed to be used with an endoscope to perform endoscopic injections. The major components of the devices are the catheter, needle, and hub.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical injection needle catheter and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used to introduce agents that control bleeding lesions and aid in endoscopic procedures, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is an injection needle catheter used to deliver therapeutic agents (sclerosing agents, vasoconstrictors, or saline) to control bleeding or aid in procedures like EMR and polypectomy. Its function is interventional/therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states the major components are a catheter, needle, and hub, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used endoscopically to introduce substances into the digestive system for therapeutic purposes (controlling bleeding, aiding in procedures). This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (catheter, needle, hub) designed for injection, not for analyzing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is entirely therapeutic and procedural, not diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the predicate Interiect Injection Therapy Needle with satisfactory results. The proposed Interject device and predicate Interject device are identical therefore no additional biocompatibility was performed to include the new indication.

§ 876.1075 Gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument.

(a)
Identification. A gastroenterology-urology biopsy instrument is a device used to remove, by cutting or aspiration, a specimen of tissue for microscopic examination. This generic type of device includes the biopsy punch, gastrointestinal mechanical biopsy instrument, suction biopsy instrument, gastro-urology biopsy needle and needle set, and nonelectric biopsy forceps. This section does not apply to biopsy instruments that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (performance standards).(2) Class I for the biopsy forceps cover and the non-electric biopsy forceps. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Interject™ Injection Therapy Needle with additional indications is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed Boston Scientific Corporation's Interject™ Therapy Needle, Variject™ Needle Catheter (K961846) and US Endoscopy Goup, Coaxial Needle (K971842). The major components of the devices are the catheter, needle, and hub. A thorough comparison of the descriptive characteristics between the proposed Interject device and the predicate device show equivalence.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the predicate Interiect Injection Therapy Needle with satisfactory results. The proposed Interject device and predicate Interject device are identical therefore no additional biocompatibility was performed to include the new indication.

CONCLUSION

BSC has demonstrated that the Interject™ Injection Therapy Needle with additional indications is substantially equivalent to BSC's currently marketed Interiect Injection Therapy Needle, Variject Needle Catheter and US Endoscopy Group, Coaxial Needle,
