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. - EndoFLIP® EF-620 catheter is indicated for use in measuring the size of a gastric sleeve created during bariatric surgery. It is suitable for diameter measurements for 22 to 60 French sleeves. - The EndoFLIP® system is indicated for use in a clinical setting as a pressure and dimension measurement device and as an adjunct to other methods in the comprehensive evaluation of patients with symptoms consistent with esophageal sensory hypersensitivity. Note: EndoFLIP is a measurement system. It is not intended to perform a diagnostic test. The EF-325L has a locating LED used in conjunction with the shaft markings to locate the balloon midpoint.
Device Description
The EndoFLIP® comprises a measuring system and a single use or reusable catheter to assist in measuring the lumen diameter at 16 points (EF family) or 8 points (BF family). The EndoFLIP® comprises a measuring system and catheter to assist in measuring lumens. 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 under direct laparoscopic visualization. Once the balloon has been correctly located, it is then inflated with the diluted saline solution to a user programmed volume.
More Information

No
The description focuses on physical measurement using a balloon catheter and saline inflation, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No

The device is described as a "pressure and dimension measurement device" and a "measuring system" used to estimate stoma size, measure gastric sleeve size, and evaluate esophageal sensory hypersensitivity. Its intended uses are for measurement and evaluation, not for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No

The prompt explicitly states: "Note: EndoFLIP is a measurement system. It is not intended to perform a diagnostic test." While it assists in the evaluation of patients, it's described as a measurement device and an adjunct, not a diagnostic one itself.

No

The device description explicitly states that the EndoFLIP® comprises a "measuring system and a single use or reusable catheter" and describes the physical process of attaching a syringe, inserting a balloon catheter, and inflating it. This indicates the presence of significant hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to estimate the size of anatomical structures (gastric stoma, gastric sleeve, esophageal dimensions) and measure pressure. It is explicitly stated that "EndoFLIP is a measurement system. It is not intended to perform a diagnostic test." IVDs are designed to perform diagnostic tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue).
  • Device Description: The device description details a system that uses a balloon catheter and saline solution to measure dimensions in vivo (within the living body). This is a direct measurement of physical properties within the patient, not an analysis of a sample taken from the patient.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or other processes typically associated with IVD devices.

In summary, the EndoFLIP® system is a medical device used for in vivo measurement and evaluation of anatomical structures and pressure, not for performing diagnostic tests on in vitro samples.

(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)

Predicate Device Comparison:

Table 1 compares the Catheters, while Table 2 compares the EF-325L to the Predicate. One will note that the difference between EF-325 and BF-325 is that they are identical except in the number of electrodes and sensors.

The EF-325L is identical to the EF-325 other than the addition of a locating LED mounted on the shaft inside the balloon.

Note that the reference to "Nasal" is the tip design (deflective tip) and not to how the catheter is placed. All of these catheters are placed orally.

The catheters for use with the EndoFLIP® system are viewed as substantially equivalent to the predicate catheters because:
