No
The MIDSLEEVE is a calibration tube used during sleeve gastrectomy to drain and remove gastric fluid and to calibrate the gastric pouch. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic (identifying a disease or condition).
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical tube made of silicone with a PVC valve, holes, a rounded end, and an asymmetric balloon. This indicates it is a hardware medical 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
- Device Function: The MIDSLEEVE Calibration Tube is used inside the body during a surgical procedure (Sleeve Gastrectomy). Its purpose is to drain fluid and provide a physical calibration of the gastric pouch. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
The description clearly indicates it's a surgical tool used directly on the patient's anatomy, not a device for laboratory testing of samples.

1. Device Description
MIDSLEEVE™ Calibration tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy is a sterile, single use medical device which consists of a 900 mm long, silicone tube of 37.5 French diameter, with a PVC valve at the proximal end of the tube. The tube has several holes and a rounded end, distal from the valve and an asymmetric balloon which can be filled through the valve. Reference markings are provided on the tube, from the distal end to 70 cm to locate the tube position.
Image /page/4/Figure/5 description: The image shows a medical device with several labeled parts. The parts include a balloon, a distal tip, a silicone body, distal side holes for suction, and a valve for inflation. The balloon is blue and inflated, and the distal side holes are located on a loop of tubing.
1.1 Intended use
MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy is indicated for use in the bariatric procedure known as Longitudinal Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG), to drain and remove gastric fluid and to provide a calibration of the gastric pouch.
1.2 Principles of operation
The balloon is initially deflated and in contact with the silicone body (see 1. below), which enables the insertion of the tube inside the throat to reach the patient's stomach.
As air or saline solution is injected through the valve, the balloon unfolds from the silicone body, enabling the start of its inflation (2).
Image /page/4/Figure/11 description: The image contains three pictures of a blue object. The first picture is labeled with the number 1, the second picture is labeled with the number 2, and the third picture is labeled with the number 3. The third picture has a measurement of 6 cm.
When fully inflated, the balloon, specific to MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy and designed to fit the anatomy of the gastric antrum, obtains its final shape with an air or saline solution volume of 10 to 50cc (3).
This step allows for calibration of the residual gastric antrum volume: the balloon is deflated and the stomach is then stapled and dissected following the position of the tube.

1.3 Intended performance
The targeted performance levels are the following:
MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy is indicated allows an intubation A through the patient's mouth and down towards the stomach,
MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy allows simpler calibration of the A gastric pouch to be preserved during sleeve gastrectomy procedure as compared to the typical method of calibration (i.e., use of a nasogastric tube) by the surgeon.
A The dimension of the preserved gastric pouch obtained after using MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy optimizes sleeve gastrectomy effectiveness (weight loss and quality of life),
MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy allows combination with a suction A system in order to drain gastric fluids and/or to perform a leak test after the stapling step.

- 2.2 Discussion
2.2.1 Intended use
The indications for use statement for the proposed device contain language that is not specifically incorporated in the indications for use statements of the predicate devices. The proposed device indications for use statement include "calibration". While the exact text "calibration" is not specifically included in the indications for use statements of the predicate devices, it refers to the terms "size", "sizing", "provide visible and tactile delineation of the stomach", and "size a gastric pouch".
The indications for use statement of the proposed device contain the text "Sleeve Gastrectomy" whereas it is not specifically stated in the indications for use statements of the predicate devices. It is included in the procedures referred to as "gastric and bariatric surgical procedures" in the indications for use statements of the predicate devices. The three devices are intended to perform the same functions: suction, drainage, sizing and irrigation.
The range of surgical applications and the patient population defined for the proposed device are not as wide as the ones defined for the predicate devices. However, all surgical applications for the MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy are within the range of surgical applications as defined by the predicate devices and do not affect the safety or performance of the device.
2.2.2 Technical Characteristics
Many similarities can be observed in the intended use of the three devices, including their main design characteristics and their general indications for use. However, differences concerning sterility, the tube and the balloon were identified.
Whereas the proposed device is supplied EO-sterilized, its predicate devices are supplied nonsterile. The proposed device is safer when it comes to infection risks and any additional risk of residual ethylene oxide intoxication is limited by the use of a validated aeration method (see section 14).
The tubes of the three devices differ slightly in their dimensions, materials and the features they include. As they allow the same calibration of a gastric pouch to be performed and do not make the tube handling more difficult, the differences of length and outer diameter do not impair the safety and performance of the device. Differences from the predicate devices which may exist concerning the materials used in the proposed device raise no safety concern since the biocompatibility of these materials was assessed (see section 15). Specificities concerning the features of the proposed device, such as the presence of a colored orientation band, the format and spatial distribution of the markings and the absence of suction connector do not impair its safety and performance and only improve the ease of use as compared to the predicate device.
The presence of a balloon on the proposed device allows calibration to be achieved. Its specific position on the tube does not impact this function as compared to the REALIZE™ Gastric Calibration Tube. No additional risk is implied and the main principles of operation of the device are not impacted.

The differences discussed above do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the new device when used as labeled.
2.2.3 Performance testing

The performance testing conducted with the MIDSLEEVE™, Calibration Tube for Sleeve Gastrectomy referenced above indicates the new device performs equivalently to, or better than the predicate devices.
