Intended Use
The AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare - Duckbill (ASDB) device is used endoscopically in the removal and cauterization of sessile polyps and pedunculated polyps from within the gastrointestinal tract.
Device Description
The AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare - Duckbill (ASDB) is a sterile, single use device compatible with the accessory channel of endoscope. This type endoscopic polypectomy device is designed to connect to an electrosurgical unit via an active cord accessory and the drive cable delivers energy through the snare head to cut and/or cauterize tissue as described in the instructions for use. The device consists of a handle, sheath, drive cable and wire loop snare head. The sheath is comprised of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and is offered in 7 Fr. (2.3 mm) diameter and 240 cm length models. The snare head is available in the shape of a duckbill configuration and offered in a 15 mm or 25 mm width. The stainless-steel drive cable and snare head pass through the sheath and the three ring (polycarbonate) handle allows the user to extend and retract the snare through the distal tip of the sheath.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and electrosurgical aspects, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used for removal and cauterization of polyps from within the gastrointestinal tract, which implies a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is used for the removal and cauterization of polyps, which is a therapeutic procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a handle, sheath, drive cable, and wire loop snare head, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the "removal and cauterization of sessile polyps and pedunculated polyps from within the gastrointestinal tract." This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's tissue in vivo.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical tool (snare) used to physically interact with and remove tissue. It connects to an electrosurgical unit to apply energy for cutting and cauterization. This is a surgical/interventional device.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens outside of the body (in vitro) for diagnostic purposes. IVDs are typically used to analyze samples like blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc., to provide information about a patient's health status.

In summary, the AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare - Duckbill is a device used for a therapeutic procedure within the body, not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

Dear Doris Hawks:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

1

requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Device Description

The AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare - Duckbill (ASDB) is a sterile, single use device compatible with the accessory channel of endoscope. This type endoscopic polypectomy device is designed to connect to an electrosurgical unit via an active cord accessory and the drive cable delivers energy through the snare head to cut and/or cauterize tissue as described in the instructions for use. The device consists of a handle, sheath, drive cable and wire loop snare head. The sheath is comprised of

4

polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and is offered in 7 Fr. (2.3 mm) diameter and 240 cm length models. The snare head is available in the shape of a duckbill configuration and offered in a 15 mm or 25 mm width. The stainless-steel drive cable and snare head pass through the sheath and the three ring (polycarbonate) handle allows the user to extend and retract the snare through the distal tip of the sheath.

Intended Use

The AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare - Duckbill (ASDB) device is used endoscopically in the removal and cauterization of sessile polyps and pedunculated polyps from within the gastrointestinal tract.

Substantial Equivalence

Minor design changes were made to the predicate AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare cleared to market via K173673. These changes include adding a new duckbill shape configuration along with cannula components required to manually form the snare into a duckbill shape. Configuration of the snare does not change the method of operation or the intended use of the device. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device with respect to the intended use, operating mechanism, materials and technological characteristics

Performance Data

The Risk Analysis was completed to access the impact of modifications made to the cleared device using the Design Failure Modes, Effects and Criticality Analysis (DFMECA) method. Design verification and/or validation testing was performed as a result of this risk analysis assessment. Results from design validation and/or verification testing provide reasonable assurance that the modifications to the device do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness and demonstrate that the AcuSnare Polypectomy Snare - Duckbill (ASDB) meets the performance requirements to fulfill the intended use of the device.

Conclusion

We believe risks associated with the modifications to the subject device have been adequately addressed through our Design Control Processes. We believe that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use and performance characteristics (key operating principles, materials and technological characteristics).
