The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical retrieval and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is described as a retrieval device for polyps, foreign bodies, tissue samples, and calculi, which are diagnostic or accessory functions rather than therapeutic. It does not treat or cure a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a retrieval device for polyps and foreign bodies, with an intended use of capture and retrieval, not diagnosis. This is further reinforced by the absence of mentions of image processing, AI, or diagnostic-specific metrics like sensitivity or specificity.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a handle, outer sheath, snare wire/loop, and a non-Latex pouch, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the PolyCatch Retrieval Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the capture and retrieval of polyps, foreign bodies, tissue samples, and calculi during flexible or rigid endoscopy procedures. This is a procedural device used in vivo (within the body) to physically remove items.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device with a snare wire and pouch for physical retrieval. It is used through the working channel of an endoscope.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. IVDs typically involve reagents, assays, or analytical processes performed on biological samples.
The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is a surgical/procedural device used for physical retrieval during endoscopy, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is a complete one-piece device for retrieval of polyps and foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and is a disposable instrument intended for single patient use only. The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is used through the working channel of a legally marketed endoscope. The PolyCatch Retrieval Device consists of a handle, outer sheath and a snare wire/loop to which a non-Latex pouch is attached. As the snare wire is advanced from of the outer sheath of the device, it expands to its full circumference thereby deploying the non-Latex pouch. The pouch can then be manipulated by the clinician to engage a polyp or foreign body. After the polyp or foreign body is captured within the pouch the handle is used to draw the snare wire and pouch back against the device sheath. The endoscope along with the PolyCatch is then removed together from the patient to complete the retrieval procedure.

Dear Scott Karler,
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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in

Device Description: D.
The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is a complete one-piece device for retrieval of polyps and foreign bodies from the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts and is a disposable instrument intended for single patient use only. The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is used through the working channel of a legally marketed endoscope. The PolyCatch Retrieval Device consists of a handle, outer sheath and a snare wire/loop to which a non-Latex pouch is attached. As the snare wire is advanced from of the outer sheath of the device, it expands to its full circumference thereby deploying the non-Latex pouch. The pouch can then be manipulated by the clinician to engage a polyp or foreign body. After the polyp or foreign body is captured within the pouch the handle is used to draw the snare wire and pouch back against the device sheath. The endoscope along with the PolyCatch is then removed together from the patient to complete the retrieval procedure.
-
E. Intended Use:
The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is intended for capture and retrieval of excised polyps, foreign bodies, tissue samples and calculi during flexible or rigid endoscopy procedures. -
F. Technological Characteristics Summary:
The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is very similar in design to a non-electric polypectomy snare, with the exception that it features a pre-formed pouch manufactured from a Thermoplastic Polyurethane. (TPU). The pouch is fixed to the snare wire using a medical grade adhesive. The device handle allows the pouch to be advanced out of the device catheter in order to capture the intended tissue or foreign body. Once the tissue/foreign body has been captured within the pouch, the 3-ring handle is used to draw the pouch back towards the device catheter, which then closes around the tissue/foreign body, allowing the device along with the endoscope to be removed from the patient.

- G. Non-Clinical Performance Data:
Design verification data and biocompatibility testing has demonstrated that the proposed PolyCatch Retrieval Device is safe and effective. Performance testing was conducted in accordance with the applicable Guidance Document titled "Guidance for the content of Premarket Notifications for Biopsy Devices Used in Gastroenterology and Urology. Additionally, bench performance testing was conducted using a specially designed test fixture intended to simulate actual device use of the PolyCatch Retrieval Device.
H. Conclusions of Non-Clinical Performance Data:
Medi-Globe Corporation has demonstrated that the proposed PolyCatch Retrieval Device is as safe and effective as the predicate device, (Roth Net Retriever, K122462). The PolyCatch Retrieval Device is considered to have the same intended use, diagnostic/therapeutic effect, method of introduction/use, technical characteristics and general range of descriptive features as the predicate device, (Roth Net Retriever, K122462).
