Intended Use
The Protégé™ Self-expanding Nitinol Stent with StarPort™ Delivery Technology is intended as a palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.
Device Description
The Protégé™ stent is a self-expanding nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) stent provided in multiple lengths, (20 - 80 mm) and diameters (6 - 10 mm). The stent is electropolished. The stent is premounted on an 80 or 120 cm working length, 0.035" over-the-wire delivery catheter designed promountou on an over of Ipon 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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and other sections do not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any related concepts. The device is a physical stent and delivery system.

Yes
The device is intended as a "palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree," which classifies it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a self-expanding nitinol stent intended for the palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms, indicating it is a therapeutic device rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical stent made of nitinol and a delivery catheter system, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "as a palliative treatment of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed within the body to treat a disease.
  • Device Description: The device is a stent, which is a physical implant used to open up blocked ducts. 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 (like blood, urine, tissue), performing tests, or providing diagnostic information.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 876.5010 Biliary catheter and accessories.

(a)
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.(b)
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.

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 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 - 80 mm) and diameters (6 - 10 mm). The stent is electropolished. The stent is premounted on an 80 or 120 cm working length, 0.035" over-the-wire delivery catheter designed promountou on an over of Ipon 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 (K012066, K012347) in intended use, materials, technological characteristics and performance. A 12 mm stent diameter has been added to further expand the product offering.
