No
The device description explicitly states that the system is comprised of hardware components including a pump, display, cart, and accessories, in addition to software components.
Based on the provided information, the Endoflip™ 300 System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to "measure pressure and dimensions in the esophagus, pylorus, and anal sphincters" in a clinical setting. This involves direct interaction with the patient's body to obtain physiological measurements.
- Device Description: The description details a system comprised of a pump, display, cart, and accessories, including catheters. These are components used for in vivo (within the living body) measurements.
- Lack of In Vitro Activities: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. The Endoflip™ 300 System is a device used for in vivo physiological measurements.

It is intended to be used as an adjunct to other diagnostic methods as part of a comprehensive evaluation of patients with symptoms consistent with gastrointestinal motility disorders.
There is no change to the indications for use when compared to the predicate device.
VII. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE Gastrointestinal motility assessment using impedance planimetry is the technological principle for both the subject and predicate devices. It requires use of a platform that includes a pump, display and cart and balloon catheters that work as functional lumen imaging probes to characterize the geometry of the measurement area. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices (including the reference device) are based on the same technological elements:
- System comprised of a pump, display, cart and accessories, including pre-use tube and balloon catheters
- Compatibility with the same, previously cleared catheters - Endoflip™ and Esoflip™
- . Pump is firmware controlled to move the syringe driver to inflate/deflate the balloon with saline
- . Real-time geometric image of the measurement area
- . Provides estimated balloon diameters along the length of the balloon and historical diameter estimates and other parameters
The following high level technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- Fully integrated platform with redesigned hardware components .
- Guided catheter setup during pre-check ●
- Key metrics capture ●
- Additional data analysis capabilities ●
- Study manager feature save studies and reports for post-procedural review .
- 0 Network connectivity
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
The following performance data were evaluated and, if applicable, provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.
