The AXIOS Stent and Delivery System is indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts ≥ 6 cm in size, with ≥ 70% fluid content that are adherent to the bowel wall. Once placed, the AXIOS Stent functions as a port allowing passage of standard and therapeutic endoscopes to facilitate debridement, irrigation and cystoscopy. The stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst resolution.
The AXIOS Stent and Delivery System is designed to secure the apposition of tissue, minimize stent displacement and create a large access/drainage lumen. The AXIOS Stent and Delivery System is provided sterile, disposable and intended for single patient use. The stent is preloaded within the AXIOS delivery catheter. The Delivery System consists of a catheter and an integrated handle with manual controls for positioning and deploying the AXIOS stent. The Delivery System is designed to be used in the gastrointestinal tract in conjunction with commercially available echoendoscopes with a 3.7 mm diameter or larger working channel and is compatible with commercially-available 0.035-inch insulated endoscopic guidewires.
This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for the AXIOS Stent and Delivery System. It explains that the device's labeling (Directions For Use - DFU) is being modified to align with a previously cleared version, and therefore, no new studies or acceptance criteria are being presented for the device itself.
The document states: "No additional verification or validation activities were required to support the DFU changes proposed in this submission for the AXIOS Stent with Delivery System. The MR data and clinical data that supported the proposed labeling modifications were also used to support the same labeling changes that were cleared for the AXIOS with Electrocautery Enhanced Delivery System per K150692."
Therefore, based on the provided text, there is no new study described within this specific submission that proves the device meets new acceptance criteria. The submission relies on previously conducted studies for the predicate device (K150692) to support the DFU changes.
As such, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and a study from this document, as it explicitly states no new studies were required for this submission. The "Conclusion" also reinforces this, stating: "The modified DFU of the AXIOS Stent and Delivery System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
§ 876.5015 Pancreatic drainage stent and delivery system.
(a)
Identification. A pancreatic drainage stent is a prescription device that consists of a self-expanding, covered, metallic stent, intended for placement to facilitate transmural endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. This stent is intended to be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst resolution. This device may also include a delivery system.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device and elements of the delivery device that may contact the patient must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(2) Performance data must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components of the device.
(3) Performance data must support the shelf life of the device by demonstrating continued sterility, package integrity, and device functionality over the requested shelf life.
(4) Non-clinical testing data must demonstrate that the stent and delivery system perform as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
(i) Deployment testing of the stent and delivery system must be conducted under simulated use conditions.
(ii) Removal force testing must be conducted. The removal force testing must demonstrate that the stent can be safely removed, and that the stent will remain in place when subjected to forces encountered during use.
(iii) Expansion force testing must be conducted. The expansion force must demonstrate that the forces exerted by the stent will not damage the tissue surrounding the stent.
(iv) Compression force testing must be conducted. The compression force must demonstrate that the stent will withstand the forces encountered during use.
(v) Dimensional verification testing must be conducted.
(vi) Tensile testing of joints and materials must be conducted. The minimum acceptance criteria must be adequate for its intended use.
(vii) Fatigue testing must be conducted. Material strength must demonstrate that the stent will withstand forces encountered during use.
(viii) Corrosion testing must be conducted. Corrosion resistance must demonstrate that the stent will withstand conditions encountered during use.
(5) Non-clinical testing must evaluate the compatibility of the stent in a magnetic resonance (MR) environment.
(6) Well-documented clinical experience must demonstrate safe and effective use, and capture any adverse events observed during clinical use.
(7) Labeling must include the following:
(i) Appropriate instructions, warnings, cautions, limitations, and information related to the safe use of the device, including deployment of the device, maintenance of the drainage lumen, and removal of the device.
(ii) A warning that the safety and patency of the stent has not been established beyond the duration of the documented clinical experience.
(iii) Specific instructions and the qualifications and clinical training needed for the safe use of the device, including deployment of the device, maintenance of the drainage lumen, and removal of the device.
(iv) Information on the patient population for which the device has been demonstrated to be effective.
(v) A detailed summary of the clinical experience pertinent to use of the device.
(vi) A detailed summary of the device technical parameters.
(vii) A detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(viii) An expiration date/shelf life.
