Intended Use
The LifeStent Turbo Biliary Stent System is indicated for use in the palliation of malignant strictures (neoplasms) in the biliary tree.
Device Description
The LifeStent Turbo consists of a balloon expandable stent that is provided on an over-the-wire delivery system. The LifeStent Turbo is a permanently implanted device used to maintain patency of a major bile duct obstructed by tissue of an impinging tumor. The flexible, open lattice design is made by laser cutting an open lattice design into a stainless steel tube. The stent is available in lengths of 12 mm, 18 mm, and 25mm and diameters of 5mm and 6mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of a physical stent and delivery system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as permanently implanted to maintain patency of a bile duct obstructed by a tumor, which directly addresses a disease state and provides therapeutic relief.

No
Explanation: The device description clearly states that the LifeStent Turbo is a "permanently implanted device used to maintain patency of a major bile duct obstructed by tissue of an impinging tumor." This function is therapeutic (palliation of strictures) and not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "balloon expandable stent" made of "stainless steel" and includes a "delivery system," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
  • Device Description: The LifeStent Turbo Biliary Stent System is a permanently implanted device used to maintain the patency of a bile duct. It is a physical device inserted into the body to treat a condition.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is the "palliation of malignant strictures (neoplasms) in the biliary tree," which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided clearly describes a therapeutic implantable device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

§ 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.
