Intended Use
The WALLSTENT® Biliary Endoprosthesis is intended for use in the treatment of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms.
Device Description
The WALLSTENT® Biliary Endoprosthesis is a self-expanding prosthesis constructed of biomedical superalloy and an elastomeric polymer. The prosthesis is a braided wire structure. The outward radial force along with the ends of the device serve to stabilize the prosthesis after implanted. The stent's purpose is to increase or maintain the inner lumenal diameter of the biliary duct. The stent is placed by means of a delivery system. The delivery system is a coaxial tubing assembly which constrains the prosthesis until it is released in a controlled manner. The release of the stent is accomplished by retracting the outer sheath. The prosthesis is packaged constrained on the delivery system ready for placement. The system is sterile and intended for single use only.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and deployment of a stent, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for "treatment of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms," which directly addresses a disease state.

No

The device is a stent intended for treatment of biliary strictures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, self-expanding prosthesis constructed of biomedical superalloy and an elastomeric polymer, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The WALLSTENT® Biliary Endoprosthesis is a physical device implanted within the body to treat a medical condition (biliary strictures).
  • The intended use describes a therapeutic intervention. The device is intended to "increase or maintain the inner lumenal diameter of the biliary duct," which is a treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • The device description details a physical implant and delivery system. This is consistent with a medical device used for treatment, not a reagent, instrument, or kit used for in vitro testing.

Therefore, the WALLSTENT® Biliary Endoprosthesis falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 876.5010 Biliary catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

The WALLSTENT® Biliary Endoprosthesis is intended for use in the treatment of biliary strictures produced by malignant neoplasms.

Technological Characteristics

The purpose of this 510(k) is to allow an alternate delivery system which allows the user to partially deploy and then reconstrain the stent to facilitate placement. This feature is presently available in the Esophageal delivery system (K940396).

The alternate delivery system can be found substantially equivalent based on the results of in vitro and in vivo deployment testing which demonstrate that deployment forces and handling characteristics are comparable to the current delivery system.

Summary

In summary Schneider (USA) Inc believes the alternate delivery system is substantially equivalent based on design, test results, and indications for use.
