Intended Use
The feeding tube is indicated for use in percutaneous placement of an enteral feeding tube in adult and pediatric patients that require enteral feeding, medication, or decompression through an established gastrointestinal stoma tract. The Kangaroo Skin Level Gastrostomy Device Feed Set Kit with ENFit® Connection is indicated for use in adult and pediatic patients that require enteral feeding, medication administration, or decompression through a Kangaroo Skin Level Device.
Device Description
The Kangaroo ™ Skin Level Balloon Gastrostomy Kit will be comprised of one Kangaroo™ Skin Level Device and one of each of the feed sets. The feed sets, continuous and bolus, are also available in Feed Set Kits packaged individually and then boxed as a 10-pack. The Kangaroo™ SLD is constructed primarily of silicone and consists of a hub which is overmolded on to a previously extruded bi-lumen shaft. The tip of the shaft is filled with radiopaque barium RTV. At the distal end, a silicone subsumed tip balloon is reverse bonded to the shaft using a silicone RTV. This subsumed tip balloon accomplishes patient comfort by not exposing the tip of the shaft to the patient as well as being in line with the shaft. In use, the balloon end of the catheter is inserted through a gastrointestinal stoma tract and into the stomach. The balloon is then inflated with sterile or distilled water (per the recommended volume for the specific device size) to secure the device in place. To confirm placement of the device in the stomach, fluoroscopic procedures are typically used since the catheter shaft tip has radiopaque barium stripe present. Accessories for the Kangaroo™ SLD include two feed extension set confiqurations (ENFit bolus and continuous), an inflation syringe, a feeding syringe (ENFit), and gauzes. The hub has two ports. The top (center) port contains a reflux valve assembly which is keyed to accept the feed set valve connectors. Leaks are prevented by the reflux valve assembly (with cross-slit valve design). The second port is the inflation port and contains the inflation valve. The device is available in the configurations per determined market needs shown below in Table 5.5-2. The feed extension sets have a valve connector end that inserts into the Kangaroo™ SLD reflux valve. For these ENFit Feed Sets, the opposite end has an ENFit-compatible connector complying with ISO 80369-3 (for prevention of misconnections with nonenteral feeding devices). The extension set can then connect to any ENFit-compatible enteral giving sets or ENFit-compatible syringes. Finally, both the Kangaroo™ Skin Level Device and the Kangaroo™ Feed Sets are compatible with competitor devices currently on the market.

Yes
Explanation: The device is a feeding tube indicated for enteral feeding, medication administration, or decompression, which are all therapeutic interventions for patients requiring nutritional or medicinal support.

No

The device description and intended use clearly state that this is a feeding tube and associated accessories for enteral feeding, medication administration, or decompression. It is a delivery device, not one designed to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly details physical components made of silicone and other materials, including a hub, shaft, balloon, and various connectors and accessories. The performance studies focus on bench testing of these physical properties and biocompatibility, not software validation.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for delivering enteral feeding, medication, or decompression through an established gastrointestinal stoma tract. This is a therapeutic and supportive function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a feeding tube and associated components designed for insertion into the body to deliver substances. It does not perform any tests on biological samples outside of the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical and functional characteristics of the device (e.g., resistance to migration, leak testing, tensile strength, biocompatibility) and its compatibility with other enteral feeding systems. There are no studies related to diagnostic accuracy or performance on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any components or functions related to analyzing biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.

In summary, the device is a medical device used for delivering substances into the body, which falls under the category of therapeutic or supportive devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

As can be seen from the above tables, the changes are limited in scope and many characteristics are unchanged from the predicate device. The limited differences are as follows:

  • . Addition of four additional functional lengths on the Skin Level Device (low profile gastrostomy tube) only offers additional options but does not impact functionality of the device;
  • . Balloon is reverse bonded to create a subsumed device tip for enhanced patient comfort while retaining equivalent performance in retention;
  • . The balloon inflation volume rating difference is due to the reverse bonded balloon process; the balloon is reversed and trimmed, resulting in less surface area of the balloon; the balloon is then positioned over the shaft, crating a subsumed tip when inflated; this process results in enhanced patient comfort but a decrease in inflation volume for most FR sizes; however, performance testing indicates retention requirements are met;
  • . The updated reflux valve design (cross-slit valve with silicone back-up seal) performs the same function as the predicate device's reflux valve and is shown to be equivalent or better based on performance testing;
  • The change from providing replacement feed extension sets in a pack of 1 each ● bolus/continuous to 10-pack of either bolus or continuous simply provides

convenient options for replacing the type set a specific user needs and has no impact on safety or effectiveness;

  • Compatibility of the Kangaroo™ devices with select competitor devices offers . more flexibility to the end user and has been verified through performance testing.
    Any differences noted above do not raise new or different questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate device. The proposed device is deemed substantially equivalent.

5.8 Performance Data

5.8.1 Non-Clinical Tests

Based on detailed analysis of the proposed devices as compared to the predicate device (documented design equivalency analysis) and considering previous testing on materials in both the predicate and reference devices, it was determined what new Verification and Validation Testing was required for the proposed devices and what testing can be legitimately leveraged from the predicate and reference devices. Based on the combination of new and leveraged testing, it was found the proposed devices are in compliance with design and performance requirements according to ISO 80369-3:2016/AMD1:2019 Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications – Part 3: Connectors for enteral applications, EN1615:2000 Enteral feeding catheters and enteral giving sets for single use and their connectors - Design and testing (with additional support from ISO 20695:2020 Enteral feeding systems - design and testing), and biocompatibility requirements per ISO 10993-1:2018 Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process.

The following testing was conducted on proposed devices or leveraged from the predicate device or reference device (leveraging based on design equivalency) to support substantial equivalence of the proposed devices:

Biocompatibility

  • Per prior assessment consistent with ISO 10993-1:2018, confirming cytotoxicity, ● sensitization and irritation tests completed on predicate device and deemed applicable to proposed device per design equivalency assessment
    Sterilization

  • Based on sterilization adoption assessment and design equivalency assessment, ● EO residuals testing on predicate device deemed applicable to proposed device

  • Performance Testing Bench (combined new and leveraged)

    • Resistance to device migration (hub or balloon) ●
    • Enteral feeding devices (with a retention balloon) testing per ASTM F2528-. 06(2014)

10

  • Tensile testing per EN 1615:2000 and EN 1618:1997 ●
  • Leak testing per EN1615:2000, EN 1618:1997 and ISO 20695:2020 ●
  • . Valve connector insertion/removal force testing per ISO 20695:2020
  • Low profile device-valve connector torque testing
  • Feed/extension set pinch clamp testing (able to stop fluid flow) ●
  • Testing for resistance to expected chemical exposure .
  • Distribution simulation testing
  • Design validation testing per simulated use conditions, including blenderized diet ●

Results from all the above tests met the acceptance criteria for each test.

5.8.2 Animal Tests

Animal tests were not required to demonstrate the performance of the proposed devices. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by the non-clinical tests discussed in 5.8.1.

5.8.3 Clinical Tests

Clinical tests were not required to demonstrate the performance of the proposed devices. Product functionality has been adequately assessed by the non-clinical tests discussed in 5.8.1.

5.9 Conclusion

The conclusions drawn from the device comparison for technological characteristics and results of the non-clinical testing demonstrate that the proposed devices in the Kangaroo™ device family are as safe, effective, and perform as well or better than the legally marketed predicate device identified in 5.3, and/or the legally marketed reference device identified in 5.4.
