Intended Use
The EndoGastric Solutions (EGS) EsophyX™ System with SerosaFuse™ Fastener is indicated for use in endoluminal, transoral tissue approximation, full thickness plication and ligation in the GI tract and is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients who require and respond to pharmacological therapy. It is also indicated to narrow the gastroesophageal junction and reduce hiatal hernia ≤ 2cm in size in patients with symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Device Description
The EndoGastric Solutions SerosaFuse™ implantable fasteners, and associated EsophyX delivery device and accessories consist of sterile polypropylene fastener implants and an ergonomic, flexible fastener delivery device. The fasteners and delivery devices are provided sterile and are for single use. The polypropylene fasteners are proprietary and function only with the EGS delivery devices. The delivery devices use either a stainless steel helix or suction to grasp tissue and fasten it using the SerosaFuse polypropylene fasteners. The fastener delivery subsystem comprises 3 elements: stylet, pusher, and a lumen. They run the length of the device, the pusher being a hollow tube that rides over the length of the stylet, both riding in the lumen. The stylet is sharp at the distal tip to pierce tissue. The fastener is loaded by snapping it onto the stylet in the loading port of the handle. When pushed by the operator, the stylet carries the fastener down the lumen which runs from the proximal handle assembly to the distal tissue port where it will eventually be deployed into the tissue.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical device for tissue approximation and fastening, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease, which signifies a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is described as being indicated for "tissue approximation, full thickness plication and ligation in the GI tract" and for "treatment of symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease." This indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details physical components including fasteners, a delivery device, stylet, pusher, and lumen, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, 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 (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the EsophyX System is used for endoluminal, transoral tissue approximation, full thickness plication and ligation in the GI tract. This involves physically manipulating tissue inside the body. It's a surgical or procedural device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of analyzing samples, performing tests, or providing diagnostic information based on biological markers.

Therefore, the EsophyX System is a therapeutic medical device used for a surgical procedure, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 876.1500 Endoscope and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.(b)
Classification —(1)Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope.

It is also indicated to narrow the gastroesophageal junction and reduce hiatal hernia ≤ 2cm in size in patients with symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Comparison to Predicate Device(s):

The design of the EndoGastric Solutions SerosaFuse™ implantable fasteners, associated delivery devices and accessories is similar to the predicates listed in that they are all devices designed to reach the desired suture location under endoscopic visualization, grasp tissue and place sutures/clips in a desired location. All products are re-loadable for repeat fastener/suture/clip placement. The products all share common features such as a sterile, stainless steel needle (called a stylet in the EGS delivery devices) housed in a suture loading unit (the delivery device), They all deliver fastener/suture/clips through soft tissue by manually actuating the needle with a handle mechanism. All devices are packaged sterile and are for single patient use. Further, the EndoGastric Solutions SerosaFuse™ implantable fasteners, associated delivery devices and accessories and the predicate devices have the same or similar intended use.

Summary:

Based upon the intended use, descriptive information, and performance evaluation provided in this pre-market notification, the EndoGastric Solutions SerosaFuse™ implantable fasteners, associated delivery devices and accessories have been shown to be substantially equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Daniel:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such 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.
