It is also indicated to narrow the gastroesophageal junction and reduce hiatal hernia ≤ 2cm in size in patients with symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. Patients with hiatal hernias larger than 2cm may be included, when a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair reduces the hernia to 2cm or less,

The EndoGastric Solutions EsophyX Z Device with SerosaFuse Fasteners and Accessories is indicated for use in transoral tissue approximation, full thickness plication in the GI tract and is indicated for the treatment of symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients who require and respond to pharmacological therapy. It is also indicated to narrow the gastroesophageal iunction and reduce hiatal hernia ≤ 2cm in size in patients with symptomatic chronic qastroesophaqeal reflux disease. Patients with hiatal hernias larger than 2cm may be included, when a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair reduces the hernia to 2cm or less.

Device Description

The EndoGastric Solutions EsophyX Device models (EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z, K171307) with SerosaFuse Fasteners and Accessories are a prescription use only, disposable, single use systems consisting of an all mechanical, flexible fastener delivery device with user controls outside the patient's body. The devices are used in an operating room environment, using the Transoral Incisionless Fundoplication (TIF) procedure.

The device is limited contact and materials include acrylic/polycarbonate plastics, machined aluminum, stainless steel, nitinol wire, UV cured adhesives, pellethane and nylon.

The permanent contact, implantable tissue fasteners are constructed of injection molded polypropylene.

These transoral devices and tissue fasteners are provided sterile (EO). A separate, commercial endoscope operating independently down the center of the devices' flexible shaft lumen provides visualization of the procedure at all times, from device insertion through extraction. Two fasteners are loaded from a replaceable fastener cartridge containing ten fasteners for each channel. The loaded fasteners are pushed from the proximal device end, to the distal end down two separate channels via lumens in a flexible shaft where they are then in position ready for deployment into tissue. The operator, controlling the distal end of the devices through the mechanical controls at the proximal end of the devices, captures and positions a fold of tissue at the gastroesophageal junction. The fastener controls deploy both fasteners simultaneously in the EsophyX Z model, or individually in the EsophyX2 HD model, at the captured tissue position. This creates a permanent surgical partial fundoplication. Additional fasteners are used as needed to complete the valve restoration.

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) summary for the EsophyX®2 HD and EsophyX Z Fastener Delivery Devices, indicating substantial equivalence to previously cleared predicate devices. It focuses on a specification change rather than a new device with independent performance studies. Therefore, much of the requested information regarding new studies and performance data for acceptance criteria is not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission.

Here's a breakdown based on the provided text:

1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance

The document does not provide a formal table of acceptance criteria for a new device study because this submission is for a specification change to an already cleared device. The "performance" reported primarily indicates that the device's performance remains the same as the predicate device despite the specification change.

  • Acceptance Criteria (Implied for this submission): The device, with the modified specification for clamping pressure, must maintain the same safety and effectiveness profile as the previously cleared predicate devices.
  • Reported Device Performance: "As both submission devices are identical to the predicates devices, the performance characteristics remain the same as those cleared previously in submission K171307." The engineering specification change for clamping pressure "does not change either device's operation, safety or effectiveness."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

  • Not applicable. This submission is for a specification change to an existing device. It explicitly states: "the EsophyX Z device/EsophyX2 HD devices (K171307) were used as the predicate without additional in vivo data needed for substantial equivalence as there are no changes made to the devices for this specification change proposal." Therefore, no new test set or data provenance details are provided for this specific submission.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

  • Not applicable. As no new in vivo or clinical study was conducted for this specific submission, there is no mention of experts establishing ground truth for a new test set.

4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

  • Not applicable. No new clinical data or test set requiring adjudication was generated for this submission.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

  • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical surgical tool, not an AI-based diagnostic tool. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human "readers" or AI assistance is irrelevant.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

  • Not applicable. This device is a mechanical surgical tool, not an algorithm. Its operation inherently involves a human-in-the-loop (the surgeon).

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

  • Not applicable for this submission. The study proving "substantial equivalence" relies on the previous clearance of the predicate devices. The basis for those original clearances (K171307) would have included performance data, but specific "ground truth" modalities for those past studies are not detailed in this document.

8. The sample size for the training set

  • Not applicable. This is a hardware device undergoing a specification change, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

  • Not applicable. As above, this is not an AI algorithm.

Summary of the Study Discussed (Pertaining to this 510(k) submission):

The "study" described in the document is a technical assessment concluding that a proposed engineering specification change to increase the upper design limit for the clamping pressure of the existing EsophyX®2 HD and EsophyX Z devices does not alter the device's fundamental operation, safety, or effectiveness.

  • Nature of the "Study": This was not a de novo clinical trial but rather an engineering evaluation and comparison to a previously cleared predicate device (K171307).
  • Basis for Conclusion: The conclusion is based on:
    • The devices being "identical" to the predicates, except for the specific clamping pressure tolerance.
    • The principles of operation remaining the same.
    • Reference to consensus standards.
    • Verification and validation testing remaining "unchanged."
    • Biocompatibility testing being consistent.
    • The literature supporting the specification change.
  • No New Clinical Data: The document explicitly states "without additional in vivo data needed for substantial equivalence as there are no changes made to the devices for this specification change proposal."

In essence, the "study" demonstrating that the device meets acceptance criteria for this 510(k) relies on the fact that the device (with the modified clamping pressure specification) is demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to a predicate device that has already proven its safety and effectiveness. The acceptance criteria effectively imply that the device with the new specification must perform equivalently to the predicate, and the provided document argues that this is indeed the case.

Device Description: [807.92(a)(4)]:

The subject EsophyX devices are unchanged from the currently cleared devices. The principles of operation for the devices are the same and also remain unchanged from the prior clearance. The indications for use for both models are identical.

The EndoGastric Solutions EsophyX Device models (EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z, K171307) with SerosaFuse Fasteners and Accessories are a prescription use only, disposable, single use systems consisting of an all mechanical, flexible fastener delivery device with user controls outside the patient's body.

510(k) Summary (Continued):

aluminum, stainless steel, nitinol wire, UV cured adhesives, pellethane and nylon.

The permanent contact, implantable tissue fasteners are constructed of injection molded polypropylene.

These transoral devices and tissue fasteners are provided sterile (EO). A separate, commercial endoscope operating independently down the center of the devices' flexible shaft lumen provides visualization of the procedure at all times, from device insertion through extraction. Two fasteners are loaded from a replaceable fastener cartridge containing ten fasteners for each channel. The loaded fasteners are pushed from the proximal device end, to the distal end down two separate channels via lumens in a flexible shaft where they are then in position ready for deployment into tissue. The operator, controlling the distal end of the devices through the mechanical controls at the proximal end of the devices, captures and positions a fold of tissue at the gastroesophageal junction. The fastener controls deploy both fasteners simultaneously in the EsophyX Z model, or individually in the EsophyX2 HD model, at the captured tissue position. This creates a permanent surgical partial fundoplication. Additional fasteners are used as needed to complete the valve restoration.

Intended Use / Indications for Use [807.92(a)(5)]:

Both EsophyX2 HD and Z Fastener Delivery Devices with SerosaFuse Fasteners and accessories are intended for transoral tissue approximation. plication and fastening of tissue in the GI tract, for the endoluminal treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease.

The Indications for Use for both products is as follows:

The EndoGastric Solutions EsophyX Device models (EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z) with SerosaFuse Fasteners and Accessories are indicated for use in transoral tissue approximation, full thickness plication and ligation in the GI tract and are indicated for the treatment of symptomatic chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease in patients who require and respond to pharmacological therapy. It is also indicated to narrow the gastroesophageal junction and reduce hiatal hernia ≤ 2cm in size in patients with symptomatic chronic qastroesophaqeal reflux disease. Patients with hiatal hernias larger than 2cm may be included, when a laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair reduces the hernia to 2cm or less.

Summary of the Technological Characteristics compared to the Predicate Device [807.92(a)(6)]:

Both EsophyX models are cleared for the same indications for use with the subject devices unchanged from the corresponding predicates (please reference K171307). Both devices use the same method of loading fasteners at the proximal end of the device and moving them down to the distal end in preparation of deployment. Tissue is retracted, secured in position, plicated and fastened in the same manner. Both use the TIF procedure.

As with the identical predicate device, the EsophyX Z differs in design in the operator controls on the proximal end when compared to the EsophyX2HD. In the EsophyX2 HD, posterior and anterior fasteners can be deployed using individual controls. In the EsophyX Z device, these controls have been automated with a mechanical trigger, which deploys both fasteners at the same time.

{5}------------------------------------------------

510(k) Summary (Continued):

Further, the EsophyX Z device/EsophyX2 HD devices (K171307) were used as the predicate without additional in vivo data needed for substantial equivalence as there are no changes made to the devices for this specification change proposal. Therefore, the devices have the same indications for use and are identical technologically.

No technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices.

Performance Data on which Substantial Equivalence is Based [807.92(b)(1) and (2)]:

As both submission devices are identical to the predicates devices, the performance characteristics remain the same as those cleared previously in submission K171307.

As previously cleared in the referenced submission, both products are purely mechanical, have no device specific guidance documents, consensus standards are referenced, verification and validation testing remains unchanged as well as biocompatibility testing. In all instances, both devices function as intended and operation observed continues as designed.

Because there are no device changes, the safety and effectiveness profiles for both devices remain identical to the predicate devices.

The engineering specification change to increase the upper, design specification limit for the clamping pressure of the current devices' operational feature which temporarily clamps apposed tissue until a fastener is deployed to hold tissue together is proposed to provide a moderate increase in margin due to variations in the manufacturing process. This could cause the clamping pressure to exceed the currently cleared specification due to minor variations in the control system drag within each device. This specification change is supported by literature.

Based on the data presented in the literature, we attest the product specification change for the EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z devices does not change either device's operation, safety or effectiveness.

Conclusions Drawn from Performance Data [807.92(b)(3)]:

With the only change compared to the predicate EsophyX devices' clearance is a change to the product specification allowing a moderate increase in the upper limit of the temporary Tissue Mold clamping pressure occurring during each fastener deployment, no change is seen in the performance of either subject device.

As the subject devices and the predicate devices are the EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z are as safe and effective as the predicate EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z devices. Both devices have the same intended uses and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as their predicate devices. The specification change does not alter the intended therapeutic use of the devices and does not affect safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Device performance data remains the same and is therefore as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Thus, the EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z are substantially equivalent to their predicates.

{6}------------------------------------------------

Additional Information [807.92(d)]:

None.

Concluding Statements:

As the proposed and predicate devices remain the same in design and use, the proposed EsophyX2 HD and EsophyX Z are as safe and effective as the predicate devices. All devices have the same intended use and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation.

The specification change to increase the margin for the upper clamping pressure limit does not alter the intended therapeutic use of the device and does not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Device performance data, i.e., tissue clamping performance, remains the same and is therefore as safe and effective as the predicate devices. Thus, the proposed devices are substantially equivalent to the predicates.
