Device Description
The EndoSign® Cell collection device is to be used for the collection of cells from the surface of the oesophagus for molecular, cytological and histological analyses. It is a non-sterile low risk, transient use, minimally invasive, single use, oesophageal cell collection device designed for use by trained and qualified medical professionals. The device is composed of a clear, size 00 capsule made from vegetable-derived material. The capsule houses a 30mm compressed spherical sponge and is connected to a non-absorbable silicone-coated braided polyester thread, secured to a clear polycarbonate applicator. The patient swallows the capsule along with the bundled thread, and as it travels through the oesophagus, the capsule dissolves allowing the sponge to expand and release. The thread is then gently pulled to retrieve the sponge, which collects cells from the lining of the oesophagus as it is removed. The device is used to collect cell samples which are further analyzed for identification of disease biomarkers. The results of the test will be used to assess patients suspected of oesophageal pathologies such as Barrett's oesophageal cancer, eosinophilic esophagitis, and other abnormalities.

No
The description focuses solely on the mechanical function of the cell collection device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data analysis components that would typically involve AI/ML.

No.
The device is used to collect cells for analysis to assess patients suspected of oesophageal pathologies; it does not treat or cure any condition.

No

The device is described as a "collection device" used to gather cells for analysis. While the collected cells are used for diagnostic purposes later, the device itself is not performing the diagnosis; it is acting as a sample collection tool.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (capsule, sponge, thread, applicator) used for cell collection, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the EndoSign® Cell collection device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • The device's primary function is the collection of a sample. It is a tool used to gather cells from the oesophagus.
  • The analysis of the collected cells is performed separately from the device. The description states the collected cells are "further analyzed for identification of disease biomarkers." This analysis would be done using other methods and potentially other IVD devices (e.g., molecular tests, cytological stains, histological processing).
  • IVD devices are typically used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body. While the sample is derived from the body, the EndoSign device itself is used in vivo (inside the body) for collection.

The EndoSign® Cell collection device is a medical device used for sample collection, which is a crucial step in the diagnostic process, but it is not the diagnostic test itself. The diagnostic part happens when the collected sample is analyzed.

§ 874.4710 Esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories.

(a)
Identification. An esophagoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the esophagoscope and is intended to examine or treat esophageal malfunction symptoms, esophageal or mediastinal disease, or to remove foreign bodies from the esophagus. When inserted, the device extends from the area of the hypopharynx to the stomach. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the flexible foreign body claw, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps and flexible biopsy curette, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Matthew Burton:

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 (the 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 available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

of oesophageal pathologies such as Barrett's oesophageal cancer, eosinophilic esophagitis, and other abnormalities.

Indication for Use:

The EndoSign® Cell collection device is to be used for the collection of cells from the surface of the oesophagus for molecular, cytological and histological analyses.

Technological Characteristics of the Device Compared to Predicate Device:

The EndoSign® Cell collection device has the same indications for use, principle of operation, and single use disposition as the predicate device Cytosponge™ Cell Collection Device cleared under K181020. There have been no material changes for the subject device from the predicate device. The technological differences are that the subject device uses an applicator instead of a roll card so the user does not have to put their fingers in the patient's mouth. The thread comes pre-bundled, so the user does not have to perform manual bundling prior to use. EndoSign® Cell collection device is suitable, in addition, for taking samples for molecular analyses.

Performance data:

Performance testing for the EndoSign® Cell collection device consisted of bench functional testing, performance and safety validation, and shelf life. Functional testing included dissolution, tensile strength, biocompatibility, manufacturing accuracy, dimensional reproducibility, sampling sufficiency, and usability/human factors testing. Results of performance testing demonstrate performance equivalence for the EndoSign® Cell collection device when evaluated against the predicate device.

Conclusion:

Cyted Ltd considers the EndoSign® Cell collection device to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device Cytosponge™ Cell Collection Device (K181020). Test results provide reasonable assurance that the device has been designed and tested to assure conformance to the requirements for its indications for use and that it is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device.
