Intended Use
The Modified Injection Gold Probe and Injection Gold Probe Direct are indicated for use in endoscopic injection therapy (to deliver pharmacological injection arents, such as vasoconstrictors) and endoscopic electrohemostasis (cauterization of tissue and coagulation of blood) of actual or potential bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract. These sites include the following: peptic ulcers; Mallory-Weiss tears; arteriovenous malformations (AVMs); Dieulafoy lesions; bleeding polyp stocks; and angiomata. The Modified Injection Gold Probe and Injection Gold Probe Direct also have irrigation capability.
Device Description
The Modified Injection Gold Probe is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Injection Gold Probe. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a device for endoscopic injection and electrohemostasis, focusing on its physical characteristics and intended use for treating bleeding sites. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in endoscopic injection therapy and endoscopic electrohemostasis for treating bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as being used for endoscopic injection therapy and endoscopic electrohemostasis, which are therapeutic interventions rather than diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical probe used for endoscopic procedures, including injection and electrohemostasis, which are hardware-based functions. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body (endoscopic injection therapy and electrohemostasis in the gastrointestinal tract) for therapeutic purposes (delivering pharmacological agents, cauterization, coagulation).
  • Device Description: The description aligns with an endoscopic probe used for direct intervention within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs typically involve analyzing biological samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a therapeutic endoscopic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Descriptive And Technological Characteristics OF Proposed And Predicate Devices

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Modified linjection Gold Probe is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Injection Gold Probe. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Laboratory testing regarding characteristics was performed on Modified Injection Gold Probe to verify its safety and performance. A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the Modified Injection Gold Probe with satisfactory results.

Packaging, Sterilization, And Pyrogenicity

The Modified Injection Gold Probe will be packaged in a styrene tray with a spun-bonded polyolefin lid. Modified Injection Gold Probe will be sterilized using ethylene oxide gas using the AAMI protocol for ethylene oxide sterilization. Pyrogenicity testing will be performed on a periodic basis to monitor bacterial endotoxin levels.

CONCLUSION

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that Modified Injection Gold Probe is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Modified Injection Gold Probe. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products. As demonstrated in Figure 9-1. the Modified Injection Gold Probe is equivalent in its indications for use, while being very similar in design and materials. In addition, Boston Scientific Corporation has presented laboratory testing and biocompatibility information. The information presented provides assurance that the Modified Injection Gold Probe will meet the minimum requirements that are considered acceptable for its intended use.
