The PROTOCO₂L Touch Colon Insufflator administers and regulates CO₂ as a distention media to the colon during Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC or Virtual Colonoscopy).

Device Description

The Bracco Diagnostics Inc. (BDI) PROTOCO₂L Touch Colon Insufflator (PROTOCO₂L Touch) administers and regulates CO₂ as a distention media to the colon during Computed Tomography Colonography (CTC or Virtual Colonoscopy). Insufflation during CTC is used to distend the colon with uniform pressure in order to properly present the colon during the given diagnostic procedure.
The PROTOCO2L Touch consists of two (2) components:
(1) the Colon Insufflator, and
(2) the disposable, non-sterile Administration Set.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) Premarket Notification for the Bracco Diagnostics Inc. PROTOCO₂L Touch Colon Insufflator. This is a submission for a medical device that administers and regulates CO₂ for colon distention during CT Colonography, aiming to demonstrate substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices.

The document does not contain information about:

  • Acceptance criteria and device performance in the context of diagnostic accuracy (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC).
  • Any details of a study involving a test set, data provenance, number or qualifications of experts, or adjudication methods for establishing ground truth for a test set.
  • A multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study or related effect sizes.
  • A standalone performance study of an algorithm.
  • The type of ground truth used (pathology, outcomes data, etc.) for any clinical performance evaluation.
  • The sample size for a training set or how ground truth for a training set was established.

Instead, the performance testing described focuses on:

  • Sterilization and Shelf-Life: Not applicable as the device is not shipped sterile and has no shelf life.
  • Biocompatibility: Verification of patient contact materials within the tubing set against ISO 10993-1: 2009.
  • Software Testing: Design and development based on a robust software development process, with verification and validation against internal requirements and FDA guidance documents ("The content of premarket submissions for software contained in medical devices," "General principles of software validation").
  • Electrical Safety Testing: Compliance with IEC 60601-1: 2005 and UL 60601-1: 2006.
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Testing: Compliance with IEC 60601-1-2: 2007.
  • Performance Testing – Bench: Compliance with internal requirements, IEC 62366: 2007 (usability engineering), and ISTA Procedure 3A – 2008 (packaged-products for parcel delivery).

The conclusion states that these verification and validation activities demonstrate that the device is safe and effective and substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Therefore, I cannot provide a table of acceptance criteria for diagnostic performance or details about a study evaluating such performance, as the provided text does not contain that information. The "acceptance criteria" and "device performance" in this context refer to engineering, safety, and software validation rather than diagnostic accuracy.

Dear Tracey Alexander,

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.

(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)
