Intended Use

The Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel Gastrostomy Feeding Tubes with ENFit® connector are indicated for placement in adult populations that require enteral feeding, medication administration or gastric decompression through an established gastrointestinal stoma tract.

The Entuit® Gastrostomy BR Balloon Retention Feeding Tube with ENFit® Connection is intended to provide gastric access for enteral feeding, medication administration and decompression through an established gastrointestinal stoma tract.

The Entuit® Gastrostomy BR Balloon Retention Feeding Tube with ENFit® Connection is indicated for use in percutaneous placement of an enteral feeding tube in adult and pediatric patients that require enteral feeding, medication administration or decompression through an established gastrointestinal stoma tract.

Device Description

The Gastrostomy Feeding Tube (G-tube) consists of two product versions (models): a Bi-Funnel G-Tube and a Tri-Funnel G-Tube. Each G-Tube version is offered in varying shaft French (FR) sizes and balloon sizes. Both versions are offered in the same functional length. The overall difference between the Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-tubes is that the Tri-Funnel G-Tube allows for simultaneous delivery of feeding solutions and medications while the Bi-Funnel G-Tube allows for delivery of either feeding solutions or medications at a time. Both Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes consist of a silicone funnel, shaft, adjustable external bolster and balloon. The funnel for the Bi-Funnel G-Tube has two ports: one port houses the balloon inflation valve which allows for balloon inflation and deflation, and the other port houses the male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of feeding solutions and medication. The funnel for the Tri-Funnel G-Tube has three ports: one port houses the balloon inflation valve, the center port houses the male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of feeding solutions, and the last (side) port houses another male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of medications. Attached to the ENFit connectors are a tether and a cap. The cap is intended to cover the ENFit connector when the device is not in use and the tether is intended to secure the cap to the connector when the device is in use. The same ENFit connector, tether and cap components are used for both Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes. The remaining components (shaft, adjustable bolster and balloon) are commonly shared for the Bi-Funnel and Tri-Funnel G-Tubes and are identical in both versions.

The Entuit® Gastrostomy BR Balloon Retention Feeding Tube with ENFit® Connection is constructed primarily of silicone. The device consists of a tri-port funnel which is overmolded onto a previously extruded bi-lumen shaft. A retention bolster is molded separately and placed over the shaft. At the proximal end, a silicone balloon is bonded to the shaft using silicone RTV. The tip of the shaft is filled with radiopaque barium RTV. In use, the balloon end of the catheter is inserted through a gastrointestinal stoma tract and into the stomach lumen. The balloon is then inflated to the rated volume using sterile or distilled water and the bolster adjusted down to the skin to secure the device in place. The funnel has three ports. One port contains the inflation valve and used for inflation of the balloon. The center port houses the male ENFit connector which allows for the delivery of feeding solutions. The third (side) port houses another male ENFit connector which allows for delivery of medications. Attached to the ENFit connectors are a tether and a cap. The cap is intended to cover the ENFit connector when the device is not in use and the tether is intended to secure the cap to the connector when the device is in use. The funnel configuration and ENFit connectors/caps are identical to the Tri-Funnel Gastrostomy Feeding Tube with ENFit connector discussed in 5.4.1 above.

AI/ML Overview

I am sorry but this document does not contain the information you are looking for. This document is a 510(k) premarket notification for medical devices. It describes the devices, their intended use, and substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices. However, it does not include details on acceptance criteria and a study proving that the device meets those criteria, as it relates to performance metrics in terms of sensitivity, specificity, or similar statistical measures. It also does not contain information on sample size, data provenance, expert ground truth, adjudication methods, multi-reader multi-case studies, standalone algorithm performance, or training set details.

§ 876.5980 Gastrointestinal tube and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9.
