Intended Use
The Accordion Piccolo Stone Management Device is intended to be used endoscopically to entrap and remove calculi and other foreign objects from the urinary tract and to guide instrumentation within the ureteral tract.
Device Description
The Accordion Piccolo's film membrane is attached to a two-part (inner and outer shaft) guidewire and deploys within the lumen of the ureter. The device can be advanced via the working channel of a cystoscope, and advanced under direct vision or fluoroscopy until the tip is proximal to the kidney stone or foreign object. To contain the stone during lithotripsy or entrap a foreign object, the movable core of the guidewire component is advanced by pulling on the handle, which causes the film membrane to deploy within the lumen of the ureter and prevent proximal movement of the stone or object during the surgical procedures. The physician may maintain the film membrane in the deployed position and "sweep" the stone fragments down the ureter and into the bladder or use the deployed film as a "backboard" to prevent migration of the stone fragments into the kidney as he/she removes the fragments with a basket or other device.
More Information

I'm sorry, I cannot fulfill that request. I need an image or text containing the K/DEN numbers to identify them.

You provided the following input: "Wait, this is an an image. I can't read this." This indicates that you are describing an image but not providing the image itself or any text from it.

Please provide the text from the image, or a description that includes the K/DEN numbers, so I can identify them for you.

I'm sorry, I cannot extract the K/DEN number from an image. My current capabilities do not allow me to process and interpret information from image files.

No
The device description focuses on mechanical function and physical manipulation, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing for analysis, or data sets for training/testing.

No
The device is used to physically entrap and remove calculi and foreign objects and to guide instrumentation, not to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device is intended for entrapping and removing calculi and other foreign objects, and for guiding instrumentation in the ureteral tract. It is a stone management device used during surgical procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical medical device with a film membrane, guidewire, and handle, intended for endoscopic use within the urinary tract. It is not solely software.

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 about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Accordion Piccolo Function: The Accordion Piccolo Stone Management Device is used within the body (in vivo) to physically manipulate and remove objects (stones, foreign objects) from the urinary tract. It is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The description clearly outlines its use in endoscopic procedures to entrap and remove objects and guide instrumentation, which are all in-vivo actions.

Device Description

The Accordion Piccolo's film membrane is attached to a two-part (inner and outer shaft) guidewire and deploys within the lumen of the ureter. The device can be advanced via the working channel of a cystoscope, and advanced under direct vision or fluoroscopy until the tip is proximal to the kidney stone or foreign object. To contain the stone during lithotripsy or entrap a foreign object, the movable core of the guidewire component is advanced by pulling on the handle, which causes the film membrane to deploy within the lumen of the ureter and prevent proximal movement of the stone or object during the surgical procedures. The physician may maintain the film membrane in the deployed position and "sweep" the stone fragments down the ureter and into the bladder or use the deployed film as a "backboard" to prevent migration of the stone fragments into the kidney as he/she removes the fragments with a basket or other device.

Technological Characteristics

The Accordion Piccolo is fundamentally a shorter version of the Accordion Stone Management device (K052048). Its core wire, or inner shaft, uses Nitinol rather than stainless steel. The nitinol allows a more flexible tip which some Doctors prefer. Testing of the core wire was conducted to ensure that while the tip is more flexible, the device still performs the same functions. The Accordion Piccolo core wire is the same nitinol found in the occlusion film.

The braided shaft, or outer shaft. is the only material difference between the Accordion Piccolo and the Accordion Stone Management Device. The braided shaft of the Accordion Piccolo has the same polyimide material used in manufacturing of the braided shaft of the CoAx Stone Control Device (K082803). The change in materials allowed us a smaller diameter, preferred by doctors, without changing the functionality of the device, allowing the same structure but with a smaller diameter.

The occlusion film, handle, introducer, and all packaging components are the same as the Accordion Stone Management Device. Testing was conducted to ensure that the change diameter would not impact the functionality of the current Accordion Stone Control handle. The film, introducer and packaging are unchanged by the length or diameter changes.

Performance Data

50-0111-01 - Accordion Piccolo Benchtop Report (Full Device)

  • Torque Handle grip test (Core wire and handle compatibility)
  • Benchtop Test Accordion Niti Floppiness test (Core wire testing)
  • Benchtop test Accordion Niti poke strength test (Core wire testing)

Conclusion

The Accordion Piccolo device testing demonstrates that the device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the Accordion Stone Management Device.
