No
The document mentions "Red Color Detection Function" and "processes images for visualization," but there is no explicit mention of AI, ML, or related terms like deep learning or neural networks. The performance studies focus on the diagnostic yield and accuracy of the capsule endoscopy system itself, not on the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

No
The device is described as an "imaging system used for visualization of the small intestine mucosa" and its "Intended Use / Indications for Use" are focused on "visualization and monitoring of lesions" or "detection of abnormalities," not directly treating or alleviating a disease or condition.

Yes
The device is intended for "visualization and monitoring of lesions that may indicate Crohn's disease," "lesions that may be a source of obscure bleeding," and "lesions that may be potential causes of iron deficiency anemia (IDA)," and "as a tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small intestine." These uses directly align with diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of hardware components including capsule endoscopes, an antenna unit, and a recorder, in addition to the workstation software.

Based on the provided information, the OLYMPUS SMALL INTESTINAL CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The OLYMPUS SMALL INTESTINAL CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM is used for direct visualization of the small intestine mucosa within the patient's body. It captures images internally.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for visualization and monitoring of lesions, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a system for capturing and processing images from a capsule inside the patient.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of an in vivo diagnostic or imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A review of Capsule Endoscopy (CE) clinical literature was conducted in order to show the safety and efficacy of the reference device, Given Imaging's PillCam™ SB1 (PillCam™ M2A), in the evaluation of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), and Crohn's disease (CD).

IDA studies: A sub-set of the studies in the Koulaouzidis meta-analysis that focused exclusively on IDA patients (four studies, 264 IDA patients) revealed a higher diagnostic yield of 66.6% (95% CI, 61.0%-72.3%). All four of these studies explicitly defined IDA based on hemoglobin and ferritin measurements and were performed with the reference device. For comparison, the indication of OGIB for CE has a diagnostic yield ranging from 70%.

CD studies: Chong et al. compared CE with push enteroscopy and enteroclysis in suspected and established CD patients. In patients with established CD, CE had a diagnostic yield of 77.3% (17/22 patients) compared with 13.6% for push enteroscopy and 19% for enteroclysis, and lead to a change in clinical management in 76% (13/17) of the patients with positive CE findings. In patients with suspected CD, CE had a higher diagnostic yield of 19% compared with 0% for push enterosocpy and 6% for enteroclysis, but this was not statistically significant. Dubcenco et al. demonstrated that CE has high diagnostic accuracy with 89.6% sensitivity and 100% specificity when compared with histopathology results in a group of 39 patients with established or suspected CD. In this same study, CE had a diagnostic yield of 66.6%, compared with 20.5% for small bowel radiology. In patients with established CD undergoing CE following ileocolonic surgery, CE had diagnostic findings in 68% of patients and therapeutic modification could be recommended in 72.7% of the patients. Lastly, in consecutive established CD patients, CE revealed diagnostic findings in 60.9% of patients while enteroclysis showed diagnostic findings in 29.3%. In 24% of all patients that underwent CE, therapy was changed and all improved clinically.

The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications of this system which includes labeling changes. There are no design changes from the legally marketed system in which safety and effectiveness were already confirmed under K142680 except for the software changes.

VIII. Summary of Clinical Testing

A review of Capsule Endoscopy (CE) clinical literature was conducted in order to show the safety and efficacy of the reference device, Given Imaging's PillCam™ SB1 (PillCam™ M2A), in the evaluation of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA), obscure gastrointestinal bleeding (OGIB), and Crohn's disease (CD). In support of the expanding indications for use and desired marketing claims, the following is a summary of referenced literature.

A sub-set of the studies in the Koulaouzidis meta-analysis that focused exclusively on IDA patients (four studies, 264 IDA patients)1-3-4, as opposed to IDA patients within the entire cohort receiving CE, revealed a higher diagnostic vield of 66.6% (95% CI, 61.0%-72.3%). All four of these studies explicitly defined IDA based on hemoglobin and ferritin measurements and were performed with the reference device. For comparison, the indication of OGIB for CE has a diagnostic yield ranging from 70% depending on the reported study size and timing of examination after a bleeding event, and the authors conclude that the overall positive diagnostic vield is ~50%. Both the reference (PillCamTM SB1) and subject (ENDOCAPSULE EC-10) devices are indicated for OGIB.

In the IDA studies, complications arising from the use of CE were rare and ranged from 0-5% of participants enrolled for all indications. The most common complication was retention of the capsule and in some cases this was noted to be caused by a stricture. The pooled complication rate (of those reporting complications) for the studies was 1.4% (40/2819). A 2010 systemic review estimated the overall retention rate for capsule endoscopy for all indications at 1.4%. A second, rare complication of CE is aspiration, occurring in 1 out of 800-1.000 procedures', but this adverse event was not reported in the IDA studies. Therefore CE is safe to use for the indication of IDA, and IDA patients do not pose any unusual risk for complication.

Collectively, the comparable diagnostic yield of CE for IDA and OGIB, the similar findings under CE when performed for either of these two indications, the useful diagnostic information resulting from CE that can help modify care in IDA patients and the low rates of complication for CE in IDA patients shows that the reference (PillCam SB1) and subject (ENDOCAPSULE EC-10) devices can be used effectively and safely for the indication of IDA.

Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "OLYMPUS" in large, bold, blue letters. The letters are slightly blurred, giving the word a sense of depth. Below the word, there is a thin, horizontal, yellow line that spans the length of the word. The background is white.

Multiple studies show that CE has been used in CD patients to safely and effectively provide diagnostic information or monitor lesions in patients with an established diagnosis. Chong et al.8 compared CE with push enteroscopy and enteroclysis in suspected and established CD patients. In patients with established CD, CE had a diagnostic yield of 77.3% (17/22 patients) compared with 13.6% for push enteroscopy and 19% for enteroclysis, and importantly lead to a change in clinical management in 76% (13/17) of the patients with positive CE findings. In patients with suspected CD, CE had a higher diagnostic vield of 19% compared with 0% for push enterosocpy and 6% for enteroclysis, but this was not statistically significant. Dubcenco et al." demonstrated that CE has high diagnostic accuracy with 89.6% sensitivity and 100% specificity when compared with histopathology results in a group of 39 patients with established or suspected CD. In this same study, CE had a diagnostic yield of 66.6%, compared with 20.5% for small bowel radiology. In patients with established CD undergoing CE following ileocolonic surgery, CE had diagnostic findings in 68% of patients and therapeutic modification could be recommended in 72.7% of the patients. 10 Lastly, in consecutive established CD patients, CE revealed diagnostic findings in 60.9% of patients while enteroclysis showed diagnostic findings in 29.3%.11 In 24% of all patients that underwent CE, therapy was changed and all improved clinically. Diagnostic findings in all of the studies included features such as aphthous mucosal lesions, ulcers, luminal narrowing, erythema, villous denudation, erosions and mucosal scarring. These results and the remaining studies establish that the reach of CE and the sensitivity of this procedure for subtle mucosal changes of the small intestine make it an effective tool for evaluation of lesions consistent with CD.

Collectively, the high diagnostic vield and sensitivity/specificity (when reported) of CE in CD patients, the similar performance of CE compared with other diagnostic modalities commonly used in the CD workup, the useful diagnostic information resulting from CE that can help modify care in CD patients, and the low rates of complication for CE in CD patients shows that the reference (PillCam SB1) and subject (ENDOCAPSULE EC-10) devices can be used effectively and safely for the indication of CD.
