Intended Use
The NGB Balloon Dilation System is intended to provide a means to access the sinus space within and across nasal and sinus structures; dilate the sinus ostia and spaces associated with the paranasal sinus cavities for diagnoutic procedures; irrigate from within a target sinus; suction throughout therapeutic procedures and to facilitate diagnostic procedures. For children aged 17 and under, the NGB Balloon System is intended to provide a means to access the sinus space within and across nasal and sinus structures; dilate sinus ostia and spaces associated with the maxillary sinus for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures; irrigate from within the maxillary sinus; suction throughout therapeutic procedures and to facilitate diagnostic procedures. The NGB Balloon Dilation System is intended to dilate the cartilaginous Eustachian tube for treatment of persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction in patients ages 18 and older. The NGB Balloon Dilation System with the navigation guidewire may be utilized in conjunction with the TruDi™ Navigation System, to help direct access to nasal and paranasal spaces, and to confirm placement in the targeted anatomy. NGB may be utilized in conjunction with the TruDi™ NAV Wire to confirm placement of the balloon in the Eustachian tube. The NGB Balloon Dilation System with the illumination guidewire may be utilized to illuminate within and provide transcutaneous illumination across nasal and sinus structures.
Device Description
The Next Generation Balloon Dilation System (NGB) is an integrated balloon sinuplasty (BSP) and Eustachian tube (ET) dilation device, that will be available in light fiber and navigation guidewire configurations for compatibility with illumination and navigation technology. The system includes a handle with several integrated features to allow for single-handed use. The adjustable gripping feature allows for ergonomic handling. The directable guide tip enables access (i.e. manipulating/separating/dividing tissue) and placement near the targeted anatomy. There are four preset approximate positions: Sphenoid (straight), Eustachian tube (55°), Frontal (70°), Maxillary (110°). The directable guide knob allows for positioning of the balloon tip towards the target anatomy. The wire slider and spinner are used to advance, retract, and rotate the guidewire. The balloon slider is used advance and retract the balloon. The Next Generation Balloon Dilation System also allows for suction and irrigation in and around the target anatomy.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical balloon dilation system with optional navigation and illumination features, but there is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as dilating sinus ostia and spaces for "therapeutic procedures" in children, and dilating the cartilaginous Eustachian tube for "treatment of persistent Eustachian tube dysfunction" in adults. These directly indicate a therapeutic use.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is intended for "diagnostic procedures" and to "facilitate diagnostic procedures" in relation to accessing the sinus space and dilating sinus ostia and spaces.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical system including a handle, guide tip, knobs, sliders, and a balloon, indicating it is a hardware device. While it can be used with navigation software, the core device itself is not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for therapeutic and diagnostic procedures performed directly on the patient's body (accessing, dilating, irrigating, suctioning, and facilitating procedures within the sinuses and Eustachian tube). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device with mechanical components (handle, guide tip, sliders, balloon) designed for direct interaction with anatomical structures. This is consistent with a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, calibrators, controls, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostic testing.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are bench testing and simulated use testing, which are relevant for evaluating the mechanical and functional performance of a medical device used in vivo, not the analytical or clinical performance of an IVD.

In summary, the NGB Balloon Dilation System is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the nasal and sinus cavities and the Eustachian tube. It does not perform diagnostic testing on specimens outside the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Data: | The Next Generation Balloon was tested to ensure that it functions in
accordance with the device design specifications related to substantial
equivalence in terms of device safety and effectiveness.
The following nonclinical tests were performed:

  1. Bench testing has been performed and met all acceptance criteria for
    attributes such as simulated use testing, dimensional attributes, cycle
    fatigue, balloon burst, bond separation, irrigation flow rate and device
    accuracy. Moreover, testing also showed that the Next Generation
    Balloon Dilation System is biocompatible.

  2. The sterilization process has been validated per AAMI/ANSI/ISO
    11135-1: 2007 and demonstrated a sterility assurance level of 10-6.
    The method used for sterilization validation is the overkill (half-cycle
    approach) in a fixed chamber. Ethylene oxide residuals have been
    tested and meet ISO 10993-7:2008 requirements. The subject device
    is not tested nor labeled as “non-pyrogenic”.

  3. Packaging shelf life has been established to be 3 months per ASTM
    F1980-07.

    testing of catheter joints and materials.

  5. Durability testing was performed, including fatigue and burst pressure
    testing of the balloon materials and components.

  6. Inflation and deflation characterization testing was performed,
    including time and pressure measurements, and leak testing of the
    balloon.

  7. Verification testing of safety features built into the device was
    performed, including the characterization of catheter geometries and
    distal tip insertion limitation mechanisms.

  8. Simulated use testing in a clinically relevant model demonstrated the
    reliability of the device to remain mechanically functional throughout
    the anticipated conditions of use, and that the design features limit
    access to only the cartilaginous portion of the Eustachian tube.

  9. The Next Generation Balloon Dilation System passed all tests in
