EndoClot® PHS is used for hemostasis of nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding, excluding Forrest Ia classification of bleeding.

Device Description

EndoClot® Polysaccharide Hemostatic System (EndoClot® PHS) is a sterilized single use medical device that is composed of Absorbable Modified Polymer (AMP®) particles in a PE bellow and an EndoClot® Applicator (K162197). The device contains no human or animal components. AMP® particles are biocompatible, non-pyrogenic and derived from plant starch.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the EndoClot® Polysaccharide Hemostatic System (EndoClot® PHS), seeking substantial equivalence to predicate devices, primarily Hemospray®. It does not describe a study involving an AI/Machine Learning device or a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) study. The performance data presented are for the medical device itself, demonstrating its physical and biological equivalence to the predicate, rather than the performance of an algorithm or human readers.

Therefore, many of the requested criteria related to AI/ML device performance, expert ground truth establishment, adjudication methods, and MRMC studies, cannot be extracted from this document.

However, I can provide information based on the device's performance tests and studies, framed as acceptance criteria and proof of meeting them:


Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance for EndoClot® PHS

The EndoClot® PHS is a medical device intended for hemostasis of nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding. The studies presented aim to demonstrate that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices (Hemospray® and EndoClot® Applicator) by meeting specific performance, biocompatibility, and safety criteria.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The document states that the properties of EndoClot® PHS were evaluated and compared to the predicate device Hemospray®. The acceptance criteria were implicitly set as being "similar to or better than" the predicate device.

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Metric/TestAcceptance Criteria (Implicit)Reported Device Performance

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes for the performance tests (e.g., number of units tested for spray pattern, pressure). For the in vivo animal study, it specifies a "swine model" but does not give the number of animals used. The provenance of the data is from testing conducted by the manufacturer (EndoClot Plus Co., Ltd. and their correspondent Med-wheat Shanghai) to support their 510(k) submission. The type of study is prospective testing of the device's physical, chemical, biological, and functional properties. The country of origin for the submitter is China (Shanghai).

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications

This information is not applicable to the type of device and studies described. The "ground truth" here is objective physical, chemical, and biological measurements, and observed hemostatic performance in an animal model, rather than expert interpretation of medical images or patient outcomes for an AI algorithm.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

This information is not applicable as the studies are device performance tests and animal studies, not interpretative studies requiring human expert adjudication.

5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

An MRMC study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI/ML diagnostic or interpretative devices where human performance with and without AI assistance is evaluated. The EndoClot® PHS is a medical device for direct therapeutic intervention, not an AI/ML algorithm.

6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance

This is not applicable as the device is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

7. Type of Ground Truth Used

The "ground truth" used for this device evaluation consisted of:

  • Objective physical measurements: For parameters like gas source pressure, spray pattern, delay time, powder feeding rate, water absorbency, and pH.
  • Adherence to standardized biological safety tests: Biocompatibility, sterility, and chemical characterization tests following ISO and FDA guidelines.
  • Observed physiological outcomes: In the in vivo swine model, the ability of the device to achieve hemostasis when applied to gastrointestinal bleeding. This can be considered a form of "outcomes data" in an animal model.
  • Comparison to predicate device: The ultimate "ground truth" for substantial equivalence is the demonstration that the proposed device performs "similar to or better than" the legally marketed predicate device.

8. Sample Size for the Training Set

This information is not applicable. There is no "training set" as this is not an AI/ML device.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

This information is not applicable as it refers to an AI/ML context that is not relevant to this device.

5. Description of the Device

EndoClot® Polysaccharide Hemostatic System (EndoClot® PHS) is a sterilized single use medical device that is composed of Absorbable Modified Polymer (AMP®) particles in a PE bellow and an EndoClot® Applicator (K162197). The device contains no human or animal components. AMP® particles are biocompatible, non-pyrogenic and derived from plant starch.

6. Intended Use/Indication for Use

EndoClot® PHS is used for hemostasis of nonvariceal gastrointestinal bleeding, excluding Forrest la classification of bleeding.

7. Technological Characteristics

EndoClot® PHS is composed of Absorbable Modified Polymer (AMP®) particles in a PE bellow and an EndoClot® Applicator (K162197). AMP® particles are delivered through a catheter inserted through the working channel of an endoscope which provides access to the bleeding site.

When compared with Hemospray® (DEN170015), EndoClot® PHS has the same intended use but with reduced indications for use. They are with the same classification and same application technique that the particles are delivered by gas source and through a catheter inserted through the working channel of an endoscope which provides access to the bleeding site. Yet, there are also multiple dimensions are different, which are hemostatic particles and packaging. However, these different parts have been verified to be substantial equivalent.

When compared with EndoClot® Applicator (K162197), the applicator of EndoClot® PHS is identical with EndoClot® Applicator (K162197).

8. Performance Data

Performance tests, biocompatibility tests, chemical characterization, sterility test and in vivo animal studies were conducted to demonstrate that Endoclot® PHS and the predicate devices are substantially equivalent.

According to the performance tests, the properties (Pressure of Gas Source, Spray Pattern, Delay Time and Powder Feeding Rate, Water Absorbency and pH) of EndoClot® PHS are similar to or better than the predicate device Hemospray®. The results demonstrated that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for these performance measures.

The biocompatibility tests (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous Reactivity, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Pyrogen, Systemic Toxicity, Genotoxicity, Hemocompatibility and Endotoxins), chemical characterization and sterility test in accordance to Food and Drug Administration related guidance and recognized international standards (ISO10993-5:2009, ISO10993-10:2010, ISO10993-11:2017, ISO10993-18:2020, OECD 471:1997, OECD 473:2016,

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

OECD 474:2016, ASTM F756-17, USP42_NF37<85> and ISO11737-2:2009/(R)2014), indicated that Endoclot® PHS is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

In vivo animal studies have also been conducted to support the substantial equivalence claims of our product as compared to the predicate device Hemospray®. The objective of the study was to validate the efficacy and safety of EndoClot® PHS (compared to the predicate device) in a swine model for gastrointestinal bleeding control. The results demonstrated that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

9. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b) (3)]

EndoClot® PHS has a reduced scope of intended use, with the same classification and application technique compared with Hemospray® (DEN170015). The applicator of EndoClot® PHS is identical with EndoClot® Applicator (K162197).

A series of tests were conducted to verify the safety and efficacy of Endoclot® PHS:

  1. The performance tests demonstrated that the proposed device meets the design specifications and is suitable for the intended use.

  2. The biocompatibility tests, chemical characterization and sterility test indicated that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

  3. The in vivo animal studies demonstrated that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, 21 CFR Part 807 and based on the information provided in this premarket notification, EndoClot Plus Co., Ltd. concludes that EndoClot® PHS is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
