Intended Use
The Express™ Biliary LD Premounted Stent System is indicated for the palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.
Device Description
The 27 mm Express Biliary LD Premounted Stent System will be identical to the currently marketed Express Biliary LD Premounted Stent Systems (K021630). The Express Biliary LD Stent is a balloon expandable metallic stent intended to maintain patency of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms. The stent will be available in a variety of sizes to address clinician needs. The Express Biliary LD Stent is made from 316L surgical grade stainless steel tubing. The seamless tubing is initially extruded to a cylindrical shape, and is then drawn down in a series of steps to the final tubing dimension. The stent is formed by laser cutting the pattern from the tube, after which it is cleaned and electropolished to obtain smooth rounded struts. The geometry is a continuous pattern consisting of large and small sinusoidal bands connected by axial struts. The deployed stent provides radial strength while conforming to the natural curvature of the anatomy. The stent provides a ghost like image using conventional radiographic imaging equipment. The currently marketed Express Biliary LD Premounted Stent System is offered with stent diameters of 6 - 10 mm, in one mm increments. The 6 - 8 mm diameter stents has lengths of 17 mm, 37 mm, and 57 mm. The 27 mm length is proposed for these stent diameters and is the subject of this submission. These are considered to be the Small Lumen (SL) models. The 9 mm and 10 mm diameter stents have lengths of 25 mm. 37 mm, and 57 mm. These are considered to be the Large Lumen (LL) models. The balloon delivery catheter for the 27 mm Express Biliary LD Premounted Stent System will be identical to the one utilized on the currently marketed Express Biliary LD Premounted Stent Systems (K021630). The Balloon Delivery Catheter is an over-the-wire catheter offered in a two lumen catheter shaft design. One lumen is used to pass the catheter over a guide wire. The proposed device is designed to be placed over guide wires which have outer diameters of 0.035" or smaller. This lumen can also be used for infusion of contrast medium. The second lumen communicates with the balloon and is used to inflate and deflate the balloon during the stenting procedure. The guide wire lumen and the balloon lumen terminate at the proximal end of the catheter by means of a bifurcated hub with luer lock fittings.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical properties and design of a metallic stent and its delivery system, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a stent intended to maintain the patency of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms, which is a therapeutic function.

No

The device is a stent system used for the palliation of malignant neoplasms; its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical metallic stent and a balloon delivery catheter, which are hardware components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's anatomy.
  • Device Description: The device is a metallic stent and a balloon delivery catheter. These are physical devices used to maintain patency within the biliary tree.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to examining specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVDs are typically tests or systems used to analyze biological samples to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. This device is a therapeutic implant and delivery system.

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

Functional testing presented for the stent component consisted of tensile and elongation, bile corrosion resistance, dimensional verification (strut widths, stent lengths), foreshortening, recoil, expansion uniformity, compression resistance, over expansion, and deployment accuracy.

Functional testing presented for the balloon delivery catheter consisted of multiple balloon inflation within a stent, balloon burst within a stent, balloon inflation and deflation time, balloon proximal bond tensile, stent / balloon crossing profile, sheath insertion / withdrawal force, stent securement force, tracking, and hub to shaft tensile.

Biocompatibility and 2 year product shelf life have also been conducted. Test results verified that the Express Biliary LD Premounted Stent System is adequate for its intended use.
