The disposable CE Deliver is a 2.5mm single-sheathed device indicated for transendoscopic delivery to the stomach or duodenum of CapsoCam Plus capsule endoscope (CE) devices. This device is intended for patients who are either unable to swallow the capsule or unable to pass the capsule beyond the pylorus in sufficient time to complete the desired diagnostic evaluation.
The CapsoVision CE Deliver device is a single use, disposable, non-sterile catheter-based medical device designed to facilitate the transendoscopic delivery of the CapsoCam Plus Capsule Endoscope to the stomach or duodenum. CE Deliver is an accessory to the CapsoCam Plus, and is intended for use in patients who are unable to swallow a capsule endoscope or cannot pass it beyond the pylorus in a timely manner.
The CE Deliver is comprised of a thin, flexible catheter with a Capsule Holder at its distal end and a Handle at its proximal end. The Capsule Holder is detachable from the Handle and Catheter by means of a threaded connector. CE Deliver is designed to be used in conjunction with a standard upper endoscope, through which the flexible catheter is inserted into the endoscope's instrument channel, upon which the Capsule Holder may be threaded onto the distal end. The device enables a user to securely load a capsule endoscope onto the distal Capsule Holder, guide it under direct endoscopic visualization to the desired location within the upper gastrointestinal tract, and then precisely release the capsule. After capsule release, the CE Deliver is retracted along with the endoscope, allowing the capsule to proceed naturally through the GI tract.
The CE Deliver is compatible with upper endoscopes with an instrument channel diameter of 2.8mm or larger.

Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
The CapsoVision CE Deliver device is a single use, disposable, non-sterile catheter-based medical device designed to facilitate the transendoscopic delivery of the CapsoCam Plus Capsule Endoscope to the stomach or duodenum. CE Deliver is an accessory to the CapsoCam Plus, and is intended for use in patients who are unable to swallow a capsule endoscope or cannot pass it beyond the pylorus in a timely manner.
The CE Deliver is comprised of a thin, flexible catheter with a Capsule Holder at its distal end and a Handle at its proximal end. The Capsule Holder is detachable from the Handle and Catheter by means of a threaded connector. CE Deliver is designed to be used in conjunction with a standard upper endoscope, through which the flexible catheter is inserted into the endoscope's instrument channel, upon which the Capsule Holder may be threaded onto the distal end.

capsule to proceed naturally through the GI tract.
The CE Deliver is compatible with upper endoscopes with an instrument channel diameter of 2.8mm or larger.
Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The disposable CE Deliver is a 2.5mm single-sheathed device indicated for transendoscopic delivery to the stomach or duodenum of CapsoCam Plus capsule endoscope (CE) devices. This device is intended for patients who are either unable to swallow the capsule or unable to pass the capsule beyond the pylorus in sufficient time to complete the desired diagnostic evaluation.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The proposed CE Deliver has the same intended use as the predicate device. Both devices are transendoscopic delivery devices intended for the delivery of capsule endoscopes to the stomach or duodenum in patients who are either unable to swallow the capsule or unable to pass the capsule beyond the pylorus in sufficient time to complete the desired diagnostic evaluation.
The Indications for Use of the proposed device and the predicate device are highly similar, delineating the same range of functionalities and target patient population. For each device, the capsule endoscopy compatibility considerations are included within the Indications for Use with a comparable level of detail.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The proposed CE Deliver has highly similar technological characteristics to the predicate device, AdvanCE. Both devices are single-use, non-sterile, disposable medical devices designed for transendoscopic delivery of capsule endoscopes. They both consist of a flexible catheter, a three-ring handle, and a detachable capsule holder, and are designed for use with a standard upper endoscope (i.e., within the instrument channel) to facilitate accurate positioning and deployment of the capsule within the upper GI tract. Both devices utilize the same technology - a deployment wire-based "push off" mechanism - to facilitate the deployment of capsules from the capsule holder into the GI tract.
Overall, the fundamental scientific technology and operating principles of the two devices are the same, and the minor differences consist primarily of the design of the capsule holder (i.e., the holder of each device optimizes for its range of compatible capsule endoscopes) and other differences in the implementation of the same basic design. These differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness, as they do not alter the fundamental mechanism of action or introduce new risks.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
CapsoVision has conducted comprehensive non-clinical performance tests on the CE Deliver device, including packaging validation and design verification & validation (V&V) at baseline and after accelerated aging. The tests confirm that the system's design outputs meet requirements, supporting its performance, durability, and safety for its labeled 12-month shelf life.
Overall, the results of the performance tests and assessments of the proposed device support that the CE Deliver is at least as safe and as effective as the predicate device for the same intended use, and confirm that any differences do not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness. The results of these tests therefore support a determination of substantial equivalence.
