Intended Use
To be used in conjunction with an endoscope for foreign body removal or endoscopic procedures requiring multiple insertions of the endoscope into the lower or upper gastrointestinal tract.
Device Description
The OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System is comprised of a single, polymer extrusion shaft reinforced with a metallic coil. The hub located at the proximal end of the device contains a cuff seal which can be inflated with air using a syringe to reduce loss of pressure when insufflation is used. The device is available in a single effective length of 27 cm with a tapered distal tip. The OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System will be delivered in a manner that a clinician may open one (1) OverTube per clinical procedure. The OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System will be provided in both sterile and non-sterile models. The sterile model is terminally sterilized by ethylene oxide (EO).
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms or data processing.

No.
The device facilitates foreign body removal and endoscopic procedures by providing trans-oral access and preventing multiple insertions, but it does not directly treat a disease or medical condition.

No

The device is described as an "OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System" used for foreign body removal or endoscopic procedures requiring multiple insertions of an endoscope. Its description focuses on its physical components (shaft, hub, cuff seal) and its function as an access system, not on diagnosing conditions. The performance studies also focus on mechanical and material integrity rather than diagnostic accuracy.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical device made of polymer and metal, with a hub, cuff seal, and specific dimensions. It also mentions sterilization and physical performance testing, 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 foreign body removal or endoscopic procedures within the gastrointestinal tract. This is a therapeutic or procedural use, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device used to facilitate endoscopic procedures. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

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

Performance testing was conducted on the OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System to establish substantial equivalence. Functional performance testing included insertion and removal force requirements, shaft deflection, leakage rate, bond strength and foreign body removal. The OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System was subjected to biocompatibility evaluation in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009. Additionally the OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System was adopted into the existing ethylene oxide sterilization cycle which was validated in accordance with ISO 11135-1:2007.

§ 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.

Summary of Non-Clinical Data Submitted

Performance testing was conducted on the OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System to establish substantial equivalence. Functional performance testing included insertion and removal force requirements, shaft deflection, leakage rate, bond strength and foreign body removal. The OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System was subjected to biocompatibility evaluation in accordance with ISO 10993-1:2009. Additionally the OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System was adopted into the existing ethylene oxide sterilization cycle which was validated in accordance with ISO 11135-1:2007.

Safety and Effectiveness

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, and it can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the differences between the OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System and predicate device do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness. The OverTube™ Endoscopic Access System, as designed and manufactured, therefore is determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate device.
