Intended Use

The EndoGI Biliary Stent System is intended for delivery of stent(s) to the biliary tract for drainage of the bile ducts, for splinting of a bile duct during healing, or for providing bile duct patency in a stricture or past a stone.

Device Description

The EndoGI System incorporates two preloaded stents. Both stents are identical in design with a straight body and one end incorporating a 65° bend (duodenal bend). The stents are comprised of a biocompatible radiopaque plastic which allows visualization of the stents post deployment. Both stents are pre-mounted on the delivery system and are delivered via near-the-wire and over-the-wire methods. The EndoGI System is available 10 Fr and includes two 110 mm stents. The system is compatible with a guidewire of up to 0.035". The safety lock mechanisms are incorporated within the delivery device handle.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the EndoGI Biliary Stent System and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, primarily through bench and animal testing. It does not contain information about an AI/ML powered device, therefore, many requested sections about human readers, ground truth establishment for training, and sample sizes for training/test sets are not applicable.

However, I can extract information related to the performance testing and acceptance criteria as presented for the non-AI medical device.

Obtained results supports substantial equivalency claim for Tensile test, Compression test, and Flow Rate.
Two Stent DeploymentSystem able to successfully deliver 2 stents utilizing a one-step procedure, no local tissue reaction, and successful stent removal.Animal study (GLP-like on porcine model) demonstrated successful delivery of 2 stents in one-step, no local tissue reaction, and successful stent removal across 6 repeats. Average procedure duration was 20 minutes; second stent deployment within 1 minute.

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not explicitly define a "test set" in the context of an AI/ML device. For the animal study, the sample size was 6 repeats on a porcine model. The provenance is an animal model, specifically a "GLP-like animal study on porcine model," which implies a controlled, prospective study designed to evaluate product performance.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML powered device requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for this device's performance is derived from physical and biological observations during bench and animal testing.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable. The "test set" here refers to the physical and biological tests, not a dataset requiring adjudication.

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 is not an AI/ML powered device.

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

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML powered device. The device's "standalone" performance is evaluated through the specified bench and animal tests.

7. The type of ground truth used

For the bench testing (e.g., mechanical evaluations), the ground truth is based on engineering specifications and measurable physical properties.
For the animal study, the ground truth is based on direct observation of successful stent delivery, absence of local tissue reaction, and successful stent removal by the study investigators.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML powered device.

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

Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML powered device.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE 6

The EndoGI Biliary Stent System is substantially equivalent to the Advanix™ Biliary Stent with NaviFlex™ RX Delivery System. Both devices have similar indications for use; the main difference is that the EndoGI System allows the insertion of two stents on one delivery device while the predicate requires two separate delivery device insertions in order to achieve the same results.

Bothe devices incorporate a combination of rapid exchange and over-the-wire techniques to deliver the stent(s). Comparative bench testing demonstrated that the stent components of both systems are substantially equivalent. Additional bench and animal testing on the EndoGI delivery device demonstrated that the device performs as intended and that no new safety and effectiveness concerns have been introduced due to the ability of the system to deliver two stents.

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

  • EndoGI Biliary Stent Compression Force (Bile) -
  • -EndoGI Biliary Stent Tensile Test (Bile)

Animal Performance Testing:

A GLP-like animal study on porcine model was conducted to evaluate the performance of the system and to validate its ability to successfully deploy two stents. A total of 6 repeats including 2 deployments and 6 stent retrievals were performed. The duration of the complete procedure (from delivery system insertion to the beginning of monitoring following retrieval) was 17 minutes - 29 minutes with an average of 20 minutes per repeat. The second stent deployment following the first stent was performed within 1-2 minutes with an average of 1 minute for second stent deployment.

The goals of the study were met: namely, the system was able to successfully deliver 2 stents utilizing a one-step procedure, no local tissue reaction was visualized, and successful stent removal was achieved.

8 CONCLUSION

The EndoGI System has similar indications for use as the main predicate, the Advanix™ Biliary Stent with NaviFlex™ RX Delivery System. Although the indications for use statement of the Advanix addresses the placement of only one stent, the product labeling clearly demonstrates that multiple stent placement with the Advanix is actively promoted. Furthermore, multiple stent placement is common practice and therefore the ability of the EndoGI System to allow for the placement of two stents does not raise new safety or effectiveness concerns. The main technological difference between the EndoGI delivery system and the predicates is due to the systems' ability to incorporate two preloaded stents in one system. We believe that no new safety and effectiveness concerns are raised due to this technological difference. With respect to mode of operation, the EndoGI System utilizes a combination of rapid exchange and over-the-wire techniques to deliver the stents to the desired location, this is identical to the mode of operation of the identified predicates. The company has provided sufficient comparative testing between the EndoGI System and Advanix predicate as well as additional pre-clinical bench and animal data to demonstrate our substantial equivalency claim. Consequently, it is clear that the EndoGI System is as safe and effective as its primary predicate without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness concerns.
