The DYNALINK™ .018 Biliary Self-Expanding Stent System is indicated for palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree.
Device Description
The DYNALINK™ .018 Biliary Self-Expanding Stent System is a catheter designed to deploy a self-expanding nickel titanium (Nitinol) stent into the biliary tree. The catheter body is constructed from two coaxial members. The inner member (IM) is compatible with a 0.018" guide wire in an over-the-wire configuration. The outer member (OM) is composed of a distal sheath that constrains the unexpanded stent, an outer shaft over most of the catheter length, and a proximal handle used to retract the assembly. The distal end of the delivery system includes the DYNALINK™ Biliary Self-Expanding Stent held in its constrained state by the stent-restraining sheath, a soft, low profile tip, and two radioopaque markers to indicate the proximal and distal ends of the stent. At the proximal end of the delivery system, the user interface is composed of a pull-back handle attached to the OM, a shaped housing that allows the handle to slide axially, and a luer fitting that is rigidly fixed to the shaped housing. The DYNALINK™ Biliary Self-Expanding Stent is fabricated from superelastic nickel-titanium (nitinol). The DYNALINK™ Biliary Self-Expanding Stent is comprised of a series of serpentine rings that are aligned along a common longitudinal axis. The stent is laser cut from a tube of superelastic nitinol. All of the stent diameters are cut with similar stent patterns, and the stent is expanded and heat-treated to be stable at the desired final diameter. The stents are electropolished to obtain a smooth finish with a thin layer of titanium oxide on the surface.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a self-expanding stent system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states that the device is "indicated for palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree," which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a stent system used for palliation of malignant strictures, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter and stent system made of hardware components (nickel titanium, nitinol, etc.) designed for deployment within the body. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "palliation of malignant strictures in the biliary tree." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed within the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter and a self-expanding stent designed for deployment into the biliary tree. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis. The device's function is mechanical support and opening of a stricture.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Ms. Modjarrad:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). 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.

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)(1)(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.

Furthermore, the indication for biliary use must be prominently displayed in all labeling, 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.
