Intended Use
The Polypectomy Snares are used endoscopically in the removal and /or cauterization of diminutive polyps, sessile polyps, pedunculated polyps and tissue from within the GI tract.
Device Description
The Polypectomy Snares consists of a flexible wire cable and loop which can be extended and retracted from the snare's flexible outer sheath using a three-ring handle. When passed through an endoscope the snare can be activated to deliver a monopolar electrical current to cut and cauterize tissue with the loop.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical and electrical function of a polypectomy snare and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the removal and/or cauterization of polyps and tissue, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is used for the removal and/or cauterization of polyps and tissue, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic. Its description focuses on mechanical and electrical functions for tissue manipulation and cauterization rather than information gathering for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (flexible wire cable, loop, outer sheath, handle) and a function involving delivering electrical current, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the Polypectomy Snares are used endoscopically to remove and/or cauterize tissue from within the GI tract. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body, not an analysis of a specimen taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for a surgical procedure (polyp removal and cauterization), not for analyzing a sample in a lab setting.

The device is a surgical instrument used during an endoscopic procedure.

4. Device Description

The Polypectomy Snares consists of a flexible wire cable and loop which can be extended and retracted from the snare's flexible outer sheath using a three-ring handle. When passed through an endoscope the snare can be activated to deliver a monopolar electrical current to cut and cauterize tissue with the loop.

5. Indication for Use:

The Polypectomy Snares are used endoscopically in the removal and for cauterization of diminutive polyps, sessile polyps, pedunculated polyps and tissue from within the GI tract.

6. Technological Characteristics:

This change is adding snare loop sizes to the current Polypectomy Snare Family and modifying the handle design. The proposed Polypectomy Snares are similar in design, materials, and manufacturing processes to the predicate Polypectomy Snares (K131700) and the Olympus SnareMaster (K955650).

7. Performance Data:

In-vitro testing has been performed and all components, subassemblics, and/or full devices met the required specifications for the completed tests. A summary of the test results has been provided for Loop Extension Functionality, Loop Retraction Functionality, Cable to Handle Tensile, Active Cord Compatibility, Active Cord Attachment, Loop Width and Electrical Resistance.

8. Conclusion:

Boston Scientific Corporation has demonstrated that the proposed Polypectomy Snares are substantially equivalent to Boston Scientific Corporation's currently marketed Polypectomy Snares (K131700) and the Olympus SnareMaster (K955650).
