Intended Use
The EndoFLIP® system is an endoscopically placed device indicated for use in patients fitted with a gastric band. The device is intended to estimate the size of the stoma produced by the gastric band in a clinical setting.
Device Description
The EndoFLIP® comprises a measuring system and a single use catheter to assist in measuring the stoma. In practice, the EndoFLIP® balloon catheter is attached to a syringe, pre-filled with a diluted saline solution, which is inserted into the syringe pump on the front of the EndoFLIP® system. The deflated balloon is inserted alongside an endoscope and introduced across the gastric band under direct visualization. Where available, fluoroscopy may be used to guide the catheter since the measurement electrodes are clearly visible in the image field. Once the balloon has been correctly located, it is then inflated with the diluted saline solution to a user programmed volume. The display shows the changes in the estimated stoma diameter as the gastric band is filled. The system also allows snapshots to be taken and compared to the real-time images.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a system that uses physical measurements (saline volume, pressure, electrical impedance via electrodes) to estimate stoma diameter. There is no mention of algorithms, learning, or data processing beyond direct measurement and calculation based on physical principles.

No
The device is described as estimating the size of the stoma produced by a gastric band and does not state any therapeutic intent or function. Its purpose is measurement and assessment.

Yes

This device estimates the size of the stoma, which provides information for diagnosis or management of a medical condition related to the gastric band.

No

The device description clearly states that the EndoFLIP® comprises a measuring system and a single use catheter, indicating the presence of hardware components beyond just software.

Based on the provided information, the EndoFLIP® system is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.
  • EndoFLIP® Function: The EndoFLIP® system directly interacts with the patient's body (the stoma produced by the gastric band) using a balloon catheter. It measures physical parameters (estimated stoma diameter, balloon pressure, balloon volume) in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological specimens taken from the patient.

Therefore, the EndoFLIP® system falls under the category of a medical device used for in vivo measurement and assessment, rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 876.1725 Gastrointestinal motility monitoring system.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal motility monitoring system is a device used to measure peristalic activity or pressure in the stomach or esophagus by means of a probe with transducers that is introduced through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract. The device may include signal conditioning, amplifying, and recording equipment. This generic type of device includes the esophageal motility monitor and tube, the gastrointestinal motility (electrical) system, and certain accessories, such as a pressure transducer, amplifier, and external recorder.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
