Intended Use
The XenX device is intended to be used endoscopically to bypass and entrap calculi from the urinary tract, to prevent retrograde migration of calculi during laser lithotripsy,and to facilitate the placement of endourological instruments during diagnostic or interventional procedures
Device Description
The XenX device combines several features in one device which facilitate an endoscopic procedure. The XenX easily tracks past ureteral kidney stone and is navigated under fluoroscopy like a urologic guidewire. Once in place, a self expandable braided structure is deployed to block the ureteral lumen and prevent stone particle migration towards the kidney. The braided structure enables a constant irrigation flow for clear uretroscopic vision during the procedure. Following stone fragmentation and if required the physician can choose to propagate a urinary stent over the device for ureteral placement.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and structural features of the device for stone management and instrument placement, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The performance studies are based on physical testing, not algorithmic performance.

No.
Explanation: The device is primarily designed for mechanical intervention (bypassing and entrapping calculi, preventing migration, facilitating instrument placement) during urological procedures. It does not appear to treat or cure a disease itself, but rather assists in procedures to address a condition.

No

The device is intended for interventional purposes such as bypassing and entrapping calculi, preventing retrograde migration, and facilitating instrument placement during procedures, not for identifying the nature or cause of a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical device with a braided structure, guidewire-like features, and mechanical actions (deployment, retrieval, stenting compatibility), indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body (endoscopically) to manipulate and manage calculi in the urinary tract. This is an in vivo procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device that is inserted into the body and performs mechanical functions (blocking, facilitating placement).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside the body (in vitro) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. It doesn't analyze biological samples like blood, urine, or tissue.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly interact with structures within the body in the way the XenX device does.

The XenX combines guide-wire and stone retention functionalities in one device. In its guidewire configuration it is substantially equivalent in its introduction, function, intended use and technology to the Sensor and Roadrunner guidewires and to the Accordion device. Once the self-expanding braid is deployed the XenX acts as a retention device and is substantially equivalent to the Stone-cone, Ntrap and Accordion devices in all characteristics excluding stone particle retrieval (sweeping functionality) which is not claimed as one of XenX features. This makes the XenX safer and less invasive in comparison with its predicate retention devices. Using the XenX, stone particles can be disintegrated by lithotripsy down to 1mm size, allowing them to easily pass through the urine system, hence the sweeping function becomes irrelevant.

Conclusion:

Xenolith Medical Ltd. believes that, based on the information provided in this submission, XenX™ is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness issue.

Dear Mr. Zigman:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical

device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
