More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (stent and delivery system) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for the palliation of malignant neoplasm in the biliary tree, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at easing the symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients with a medical condition.

No
The device is a stent system used for palliation of malignant neoplasm, which is a treatment rather than a diagnostic function. It is a therapeutic device.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use only device with a stent mounted on an over-the-wire delivery system" and includes a "balloon mounted on the distal portion of the catheter," indicating it is a physical 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 "palliation of malignant neoplasm in the biliary tree." This describes a therapeutic intervention performed within the body (in vivo) to alleviate symptoms, not a test performed outside the body (in vitro) on samples to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (stent, delivery system, balloon) designed for insertion into the biliary tree. This is consistent with an implantable or interventional device, not an IVD which typically involves reagents, analyzers, or test kits for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Bridge Constant Biliary Stent System is a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Trade/Device Name: Medtronic AVE Bridge Constant Biliary Stent System Regulation Number: 21 CFR §876.5010 Regulation Name: Biliary catheter and accessories Regulatory Class: II Product Code: 78 FGE Dated: June 3, 2003 Received: June 4, 2003

Dear Ms. Sheppard:

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.

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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

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 above is added to your labeling, as described.

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.

If you desire specific information about the application of other labeling requirements to your device (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4616.
