More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical device (biopsy valves) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities. The performance studies focus on physical properties like leakage and airflow.

No
The device provides access and maintains conditions during an endoscopic procedure; it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a biopsy valve intended to facilitate endoscopic procedures by allowing device passage, maintaining insufflation, minimizing leakage, and providing access for irrigation. Its function is to assist in the procedure itself, not to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, disposable biopsy valve, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during an endoscopic procedure to facilitate access, maintain insufflation, and minimize leakage. This is a procedural device, not a device used to test samples in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical characteristics and compatibility with endoscopes, not on any reagents, assays, or analytical components typical of IVDs.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is entirely focused on facilitating the endoscopic procedure itself.

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

The following testing has been performed to support substantial equivalence:

  • Leak testing Leak testing was performed with the ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves . to simulate the withdrawal of biopsy samples, bowel irrigation and bowel insufflation. The ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves revealed no evidence of fluid leakage during the sample biopsy or bowel irrigation. Thus, the ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves are an effective means of preventing fluid leakage in gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.
  • Insufflation air flow rate testing - Tests were performed simulating bowel insufflations, whereby the ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves tested maintained a pressure of at least 10 psi with no testing. The insufflation air flow rate is comparable to that of the predicate device, delivering enough air for insufflation in the time typically used for insufflation. Thus, the ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves is an effective means of achieving insufflation in gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.
  • Biocompatibility – Biocompatibility testing of the ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves was conducted in accordance with the ISO 10993-1 "Biological evaluation of medical devices" standards and FDA/CDRH/ODE Blue Book Memorandum G95-1, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993", 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: ' Evaluation and Testing' using a representative device. Based on ISO 10993-1, the biopsy valves are body contact (mucosal membranes) and limited contact duration (less than 24 hours). The ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves are made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials that are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) materials according to ISO 10993 for cytotoxicity, sensitization, and irritation, are USP Grade VI, and the colorants are cleared (or FDA listed). The device was tested for cytotoxicity as per ISO 10993-5, and passed. The results and analysis demonstrate the ScopeValet Disposable Biopsy Valves are biocompatible as per ISO 10993-1.
  • Shelf-life – Stability of the subject device was established from the results of physical testing data using a protocol.. Based on the evaluation of the results of the physical testing data, the expiring date has been set at one (1) year.
