More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical grasping device and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is described as a grasper used for tissue manipulation during minimally invasive procedures, which is an surgical instrument rather than a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device description states its purpose is "tissue grasping and manipulation" and "tissue grasping and mobilization." It is an instrument used during procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of physical components like a polycarbonate handle, flexible shaft, and stainless steel jaws, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "tissue grasping and manipulation" during "minimally Invasive procedures." This describes a surgical or interventional tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical instrument with a handle, shaft, and jaws, designed for mechanical interaction with tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status. IVDs are typically used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the USGI g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is a surgical/interventional device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to ensure that the device performs as intended when used in accordance with its instructions for use and to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device. Testing focused on those performance features related to the modifications and included device integrity testing (i.e., bond joint strength), functionality and in vivo simulated use testing. Test data confirmed that the modified g-Prox EZ device demonstrated equivalent safety and performance to the predicate 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. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

stainless steel jaws. It has a nominal working length and outer diameter of 111 cm and 5.5 mm, respectively.

న్. STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE

The g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is intended for use in minimally invasive procedures to facilitate tissue grasping and mobilization.

6. COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICES

The g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is comparable to the predicate device in terms of intended use, technology, and materials. The shaft and distal jaw materials are identical to those used in the predicate device and are provided in the same sizes. The g-Prox EZ device handle is made of polycarbonate instead of Delrin. Both the g-Prox EZ and the predicate device have the identical intended use and principals of operation. Both the g-Prox EZ and the predicate device include a lumen that can accept the g-Cath Tissue Anchor Delivery Catheter and other small diameter instruments. The g-Prox EZ includes a suture cutting component in the jaw to allow the user to cut the g-Cath anchor suture tail with the g-Prox EZ.

7. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE DATA

Design control activities for the described modifications were completed in accordance with 21CFR 820.30 and USGI Medical documented design control procedures. Human factors considerations were also incorporated into the device modifications. Risk analysis was performed in accordance with USGI Medical procedures to identify any risks associated with the modifications.

Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to ensure that the device performs as intended when used in accordance with its instructions for use and to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device. Testing focused on those performance features related to the modifications and included device integrity testing (i.e., bond joint strength), functionality and in vivo simulated use testing. Test data confirmed that the modified g-Prox EZ device demonstrated equivalent safety and performance to the predicate device.

In conclusion, non-clinical performance data demonstrate that the g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is as safe, effective and performs as well as the g-Prox predicate device.
