The Electrocautery Dilation Balloon is intended for dilation of strictures of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract and cutting, dissecting and cauterizing soft tissue during endoscopic electrosurgical procedures.
Device Description
The Electrocautery Dilation Balloon is indicated for dilation of strictures of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract and cutting, dissecting and cauterizing soft tissue during endoscopic electrosurgical procedures. Using either endoscopic or fluoroscopic means, the balloon is placed at the physician selected site. Once in place, the clinician inflates the balloon to dilate the stricture. The electrocautery needle knife may be used for cutting, dissecting and cauterizing soft tissue during endoscopic electrosurgical procedures. The needle knife is advanced and retracted with the proximal handle.

No
The summary describes a mechanical and electrosurgical device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for "dilation of strictures of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract and cutting, dissecting and cauterizing soft tissue during endoscopic electrosurgical procedures," which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as being used for "dilation of strictures" and "cutting, dissecting and cauterizing soft tissue," which are interventional and therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly details a physical balloon and needle knife, which are hardware components used for dilation, cutting, dissecting, and cauterizing.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Electrocautery Dilation Balloon is used directly within the patient's body (in vivo) for a therapeutic purpose (dilation of strictures and cutting/cauterizing tissue). It does not analyze specimens taken from the body.

The description clearly indicates the device is used for a surgical procedure performed inside the patient.

Dear Mr. Mathison:

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 (PMA), 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.
