Intended Use
The SIREN SGT™ is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for gastric aspiration and lavage, and to assist in gastric sleeve formation by decompressing and stabilizing the stomach, and by serving as a sizing guide.
Device Description
The Tools for Surgery™ SIREN SGT™ gastric tube is a clean, non-sterile, single patient use device, comprising a 36 Fr insertion tube portion 109 cm long, a hub containing a suction regulating valve, an extension tube, pinch clamp, and connector. Tubular portions including the hub are flexible polyvinylchloride (PVC). There are multiple apertures in proximity to a rounded distal tip. Line and numeric markings are provided to indicate depth of insertion. The suction regulating valve limits negative pressure applied to the stomach to less than 175 mmHg, and produces an audible signal when the suction pressure in the stomach exceeds ≈160 mmHg.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and pressure-regulating functions, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for aspiration, lavage, and to assist in gastric sleeve formation, directly impacting a patient's medical condition or body function.

No

The device is indicated for gastric aspiration, lavage, and to assist in gastric sleeve formation by decompressing, stabilizing, and sizing the stomach during surgical procedures. Its function is primarily interventional and supportive during surgery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of PVC, a hub, valves, tubes, and markings. The performance studies also focus on the physical properties and function of these hardware components. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used during surgical procedures for gastric aspiration, lavage, and assisting in gastric sleeve formation. This is a direct intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical tube with a suction regulating valve and other components designed for insertion into the stomach. This is a medical device used for a physical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. The SIREN SGT™ is used inside the body during a surgical procedure.

Dear Arnold Leiboff:

Re:

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.

Discussion

The Tools for Surgery™ SIREN SGT™ gastric tube is similar to the predicate device Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube (ViSiGi 3D®).

Intended Use

The indications for use of the Tools for Surgery™ SIREN SGT™ and the Boehringer Laboratories ViSiGi 3D® are the same.

Technical Characteristics

The Tools for Surgery™ SIREN SGT™ gastric tube has technical characteristics similar to that of the predicate device. Both devices are orogastric tubes comprised of biocompatible elastomeric materials. The predicate device incorporates a slide valve to interrupt suction, while

6

the SIREN SGT™ employs a pinch clamp for this purpose. The insertion tubes of both devices have interval markings to help the surgeon and anesthesiologist gauge the depth of insertion and the position of the tip of the tube. The markings on the predicate device are simple lines that are indistinguishable from one another, while the markings on the SIREN SGT™ include numeric figures that indicate the exact distance to the forward tip of the insertion tube. The predicate device includes an internal metal coil support to stiffen the distal portion of its insertion tube; the SIREN SGT™ does not. The SIREN SGT™ insertion tube comprises one or two rows of 18 apertures, whereas the predicate device, ViSiGi 3D®, comprises six rows of 18 apertures. Both the SIREN SGT™ and predicate device connect to a vacuum source in order to deliver negative pressure to the gastric lumen. The suction pressure delivered by the vacuum source is adjustable by means of an external vacuum source suction regulator. Both the SIREN SGT™ and the predicate device incorporate integral suction regulating valves, which serve as additional means for limiting negative pressure applied to the gastric mucosa. The predicate device achieves this by means of an inline shut-off valve, which closes when negative pressure exceeds 100-150 mmHg. The SIREN SGT™ contains a pressure relief valve, which opens at 103 to 155 mmHg and limits the pressure in the insertion tube and stomach to negative 175 mmHg when full suction (~360 mmHg) is applied. When negative pressure within the SIREN SGT™ insertion tube exceeds 160 mmHg an audible signal produced by mechanical means by the suction regulating valve informs the operator that excessive suction is being applied to the tube, and prompts the operator to lower the suction pressure by manually adjusting the vacuum source suction regulator.

Performance Testing

The performance tests referenced above substantiate that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device, and validate the function regulating valve and audible signal mechanism.

Conclusion

As evidenced by the intended use, technical characteristics, and performance testing, the Tools for Surgery™ SIREN SGT™ gastric tube is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
