Intended Use

The ERBELIFT Hand Pump in conjunction with an ERBELIFT Flexible Probe is indicated for the induction of sterile normal saline into the submucosa to lift polyps or other mucosal lesions using direct visualization through a flexible endoscope.

Device Description

The ERBELIFT™ Hand Pump and Flexible Probe are used for the delivery of pressurized sterile normal saline to the submucosa to lift polyps or other mucosal lesions. A control syringe is filled with sterile normal saline. The filled syringe is attached to the Flexible Probe via a hub with a standard luer lock and loaded into the Hand Pump. The Flexible Probe is primed with the saline and then the distal end of the Probe is placed down the working channel of the endoscope. Under direct visualization, the Probe's tip is placed against the target tissue without puncturing the mucosa. Then, the trigger of the Hand Pump is squeezed to produce the pressurized saline from the control syringe and through the Probe into the bed of the polyp or lesion to achieve a desired tissue lift.

The Hand Pump is made of nylon and stainless steel. It is 8-3/4" (22 cm) long, 6" (15 cm) wide, and having a thickness of 2-1/2" (6 cm). The Pump per squeeze of the handle delivers approximately 0.75 ml of normal saline. The Flexible Probe is made of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and nylon (Note: Medical grade inks and reducer are used to imprint logos on the device.). It has a 1.3 mm Outer Diameter and length of 260 cm. The distal tip is tapered to approximately 0.005" and delivers a jet stream of 120 um. The Hand Pump with the Flexible Probe can generate pressures in the approximate range of 145 to 650 psi which correlates to flow rates of 17 to 38 ml/minute.

The Hand Pump is reusable with the Flexible Probe being provided as sterile and single use.

AI/ML Overview

The provided 510(k) summary for the Byrne Medical Incorporated ERBELIFT™ Hand Pump and Flexible Probe does not contain the detailed information required to fill out a table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance with quantitative metrics. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through similarities in intended use, materials, and form, and briefly mentions functional bench and animal lab testing. However, it does not provide specific acceptance criteria or performance metrics from these tests.

Therefore, the following sections will indicate where the information is not available in the provided text.


1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Note: The provided document states that "Functional bench and animal lab testing has demonstrated that the ERBELIFT Hand Pump and Flexible Probe lifts the submucosa safely and effectively," but it does not provide specific acceptance criteria or quantitative performance results for these tests. Therefore, this table cannot be fully completed from the given text.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Sample Size for Test Set: Not specified in the provided document. The document mentions "Functional bench and animal lab testing" but does not give details on the number of samples, animals, or tests conducted.
  • Data Provenance: Not specified. The document does not mention the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. The document mentions "Functional bench and animal lab testing" but does not detail how ground truth or performance assessment was established, nor does it refer to human expert involvement in establishing ground truth for the device's functional performance.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • This information is not available in the provided 510(k) summary. Given that the testing mentioned is "functional bench and animal lab testing" for a medical device's physical performance, an adjudication method for human interpretation is unlikely to be applicable or described here.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • No, a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was not done. The ERBELIFT™ Hand Pump and Flexible Probe is a physical medical device for injecting saline, not an AI-powered diagnostic or interpretive tool. Therefore, a study comparing human readers with and without AI assistance is not relevant to this device and is not mentioned.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • No, standalone algorithm performance testing is not applicable as this device is a physical medical instrument, not a software algorithm. The device's operation involves a human user (endoscopist) directly.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.)

  • The term "ground truth" as typically used in AI/diagnostic studies is not directly applicable here. For this physical device, the "truth" would be objective measurements and observations from the "Functional bench and animal lab testing." This would likely involve:
    • Bench Testing: Direct physical measurements (e.g., pressure, flow rate, volume delivered, jet stream characteristics) and visual inspection of fluid delivery.
    • Animal Lab Testing: Direct visualization of submucosal lift, potentially histological analysis of tissue for damage, and observation of overall safety and effectiveness in an in-vivo model.
  • The document implies that the "truth" for safety and effectiveness was derived from these direct experimental observations rather than expert consensus on interpretation of data.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable / Not available. The ERBELIFT™ Hand Pump and Flexible Probe is a physical medical device, not a machine learning model, so there is no "training set" in the context of data used for algorithm development. The development process would have involved design, prototyping, and testing, but not training data for an algorithm.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable / Not available. As explained in item 8, there is no "training set" for this physical medical device.

Similarities and Differences of the Proposed Device to the Current Devices (Predicate Comparison/Substantial Equivalence):

Similarities

The ERBELIFT Hand Pump and Flexible Probe have an intended use that is within the intended uses of the predicates. Also, like the predicates, the purpose is the same in that the devices are for the injection of fluids into tissue for endoscopic purposes. The lifting medium (i.e. sterile normal saline) is also a part of the types of solutions identified for use with the predicates. The materials used for the proposed device are also similar to the predicates. Additionally for accompanying various types and sizes of endoscopes, the working length of the Flexible Probe is comparable (260 cm) to the predicates (230 cm). Both predicates also require the need for a syringe connected via standard luer lock like the proposed device (Note: A designated control syringe is used to ensure sufficiency in regards to strength and The control syringe is identified in the Instructions For Use for the durabilitv. proposed device.). Furthermore, the Flexible Probe is sterilized via Ethylene Oxide, single use, and disposable as are the predicates.

Traditional 510(k): ERBELIFT™ Hand Pump and Flexible Probe

Differences

The Hand Pump is an additional component for the ERBELIFT™ system as compared to the predicates. The Pump provides the force to the control syringe to induce the pressurized fluid into the submucosa as compared to the force of the needle and fluid hand pushed from a syringe to lift polyps or other mucosal lesions.

The technology employed in the ERBELIFT product has been widely used in medical devices since the 1900s. Needle-free injection devices, first called "iet injectors," were developed in the 1930s and used extensively for over 50 years in mass human vaccination programs for smallpox, polio, and measles.123 Usina mechanical compression to force fluid through a small orifice, these devices produced a high-pressure stream 76 to 360 µm in diameter (compared to 810 µm for a 21-gauge needle) that could penetrate skin and subcutaneous tissue4. These devices are used today to inject insulin, cardiovascular dves, etc. The manual fluid injectors are classified by FDA as product code. KZE.

Functional bench and animal lab testing has demonstrated that the ERBELIFT Hand Pump and Flexible Probe lifts the submucosa safely and effectively. See Section III, Product Data - Performance Testing.

The types of materials used for the Flexible Probe are similar to the predicates but specific materials are slightly different. Therefore, biocompatibility of the specific materials for the Probe was demonstrated. See Section III, Product Data -Biocompatibility Study,

Besides the use of a Hand Pump with the ERBELIFT system to provide the force needed to lift the mucosa in comparison to force of a needle and fluid pressure from the predicates. the working diameter and tip/fluid stream of the ERBELIFT Flexible Probe is much smaller (i.e. a working diameter of 1.3 mm with a tipped Inner Diameter of approximately 0.120 mm as compared to a working diameter of 2.5/3.0 mm respectively with a 25 G needle/tip of 0.508 mm Outer Diameter and 0.241 mm Inner Diameter for the predicates). For the ERBELIFT Flexible Probe the smaller diameter and fluid stream with no mechanical needle injection causes less penetration tissue damage. Also, because fluid seeks the path of least resistance it is easier to find the tissue plane and easier to create a lift, See Section III. Product Data - Performance Testing.

Conclusion:

The ERBELIFT Hand Pump and Flexible Probe's intended use is a part of the predicate's indications in the previously cleared 510(k)s. The ERBELIFT system has slightly different principles of operation and technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The use of an amplified fluid force via the Hand Pump as compared to the force of a needle and pressure from pushing a syringe by hand with the predicates (i.e. mechanical trauma of a needle with less fluid pressure) was found to be less traumatic to tissue because of the penetration size being much smaller as well as it being easier to do because of fluid dynamics. The modifications of having a Hand Pump instead of a needle as well as a Flexible Probe with a smaller working diameter and tip configuration did not raise any new safety or efficacy concerns. In conclusion, all the changes were verified or validated. As a result, the ERBELIFT Hand Pump and Flexible Probe did not adverselv affect safety or effectiveness.
