Intended Use
The AXIOS™ Stent is indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts ≥ 6 cm in size, and symptomatic Walled Off Necrosis ≥ 6 cm in size, that are adherent to the gastric or bowel wall. Once placed, the AXIOS™ Stent functions as an access port allowing passage of standard and therapeutic endoscopes to facilitate debridement, irrigation and cystoscopy. The Stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or Walled-Off Necrosis resolution.
Device Description
The AXIOS™ Stent is a flexible, MR conditional, fully-covered, self-expanding braided nitinol stent, which comes preloaded into a delivery system. The AXIOS™ stent is designed with two flanges on each end to prevent migration and to enable tissue plane apposition and a "saddle" in between the flanges to span the tissue implant distance. The AXIOS™ Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System consists of a catheter and an integrated handle with manual controls for positioning and deploying the AXIOS™ Stent. The AXIOS™ Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System is designed to be used in the gastrointestinal tract with commercially available echoendoscopes with a 3.7 mm diameter or larger working channel and is compatible with commercially available 0.035-inch insulated endoscopic guidewires. The Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System connects with an off-the-shelf electrosurgical unit or generator that is compliant to IEC 60601-1-2 and IEC 60601-2-2. The AXIOS™ Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System is provided sterile, disposable and intended for single use.

No
The summary describes a mechanical stent and its delivery system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for use to facilitate endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts and Walled Off Necrosis, and functions as an access port for debridement, irrigation, and cystoscopy. This directly addresses and treats a medical condition, qualifying it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The AXIOS™ Stent is a therapeutic device used to facilitate drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts and walled-off necrosis. It functions as an access port and aids in debridement and irrigation, but does not diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical stent and a delivery system, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • AXIOS™ Stent Function: The AXIOS™ Stent is a medical device designed for implantation to facilitate drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts and Walled Off Necrosis. It acts as an access port for endoscopic procedures and is a therapeutic device used within the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description of the AXIOS™ Stent and its intended use does not involve the analysis of any specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.

Therefore, the AXIOS™ Stent falls under the category of an implantable medical device used for therapeutic and procedural purposes, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Clinical data from a prospective, single arm, multi-center trial on the AXIOS™ Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System support the expanded indication for use and confirm the subject device's substantial equivalence, safety and effectiveness to the predicate. The trial was conducted per GCP and 21 CFR Parts 50, 56 and 812 under an approved Investigational Device Exemption.

Patients with Walled Off Necrosis (WON) with greater than 30% necrotic material (as suggested by pre-operative imaging) were eligible for inclusion. The primary effectiveness endpoint was resolution of WON with endoscopic drainage (defined as radiographic decrease of WON size to

§ 876.5015 Pancreatic drainage stent and delivery system.

(a)
Identification. A pancreatic drainage stent is a prescription device that consists of a self-expanding, covered, metallic stent, intended for placement to facilitate transmural endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. This stent is intended to be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst resolution. This device may also include a delivery system.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:(1) The device and elements of the delivery device that may contact the patient must be demonstrated to be biocompatible.
(2) Performance data must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components of the device.
(3) Performance data must support the shelf life of the device by demonstrating continued sterility, package integrity, and device functionality over the requested shelf life.
(4) Non-clinical testing data must demonstrate that the stent and delivery system perform as intended under anticipated conditions of use. The following performance characteristics must be tested:
(i) Deployment testing of the stent and delivery system must be conducted under simulated use conditions.

5. Proposed Indications for Use

The AXIOS™ Stent is indicated for use to facilitate transgastric or transduodenal endoscopic drainage of symptomatic pseudocysts ≥ 6 cm in size, and symptomatic Walled Off Necrosis ≥ 6 cm in size, that are adherent to the gastric or bowel wall. Once placed, the AXIOS™ Stent functions as an access port allowing passage of standard and therapeutic endoscopes to facilitate debridement, irrigation and cystoscopy. The Stent is intended for implantation up to 60 days and should be removed upon confirmation of pseudocyst or Walled-Off Necrosis resolution.

6. Technological Characteristics

The technological characteristics of the device remain unchanged from the predicates cleared in K181905 (the 10mm x 10 mm, 10mm and 20mm x 10mm stent sizes) and K192043 (the 15mm x 15mm stent size).

7. Performance Data

The devices' technological characteristics remain unchanged, therefore, no further performance testing was required.

8. Clinical Data Summary

Clinical data from a prospective, single arm, multi-center trial on the AXIOS™ Stent and Electrocautery-Enhanced Delivery System support the expanded indication for use and confirm the subject device's substantial equivalence, safety and effectiveness to the predicate. The trial was conducted per GCP and 21 CFR Parts 50, 56 and 812 under an approved Investigational Device Exemption.

Patients with Walled Off Necrosis (WON) with greater than 30% necrotic material (as suggested by pre-operative imaging) were eligible for inclusion. The primary effectiveness endpoint was resolution of WON with endoscopic drainage (defined as radiographic decrease of WON size to
