Intended Use
The main indications according to their frequency are : - 1. tracheobronchial tumors - 2. Tracheal stenosis with scarring - 3. Bronchial stenosis after surgical anastomotic, anastomoses resections or pulmonary transplantation. These stenoses have, as a common characteristic, the importance of the extrinsic compression or the collapse of the cartilingeous wall. The indication always focuses on an endoscopic therapeutic action, whether is concerns a resection or dilation. The stent insertion is indicated if the endoscopic resection is incomplete, in case of a persistent extrinsic compression, or if the lumen is insufficient. The most frequent locations are tracheal. The left main bronchus is the second location, followed by the right main bronchus.
Device Description
the ENDOXANE® is an endoscopy stent made of silicone. This stent, the most fitted in the world, is presented as a silicone tube with stubs allowing to avoid any movement. The non armed polysiloxane is covered with a new coating especially designed in order to keep its' flexibility which facilitates tolerance and evacuation of secretions. A well-adapted ENDOXANE® does not move and cough reflexes are inhibited by reflex center saturation. The stubs prevent a direct contact between the stent surface and the mucus membrane and distribute the pressures among the small surfaces.

No
The summary describes a silicone stent and its intended use and performance, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes

Explanation: The device is described as a stent used for therapeutic actions such as resection or dilation of tracheobronchial and tracheal stenoses, aiming to restore or maintain lumen patency.

No

The device is a silicone endoscopic stent used for therapeutic actions like resections or dilation in cases of tracheobronchial or tracheal stenosis, and it is explicitly stated that its indication focuses on "an endoscopic therapeutic action," not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the ENDOXANE® is an endoscopy stent made of silicone, which is a physical hardware 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 for therapeutic intervention within the tracheobronchial tree (resection, dilation, stent insertion) to address physical obstructions like tumors and stenoses. This is a direct treatment of a physical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical silicone stent designed to be inserted into the airway to maintain patency. This is a medical device used for structural support.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The device itself is the treatment.

Therefore, the ENDOXANE® stent, as described, is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The ENDOXANE® is an endoscopy stent made of silicone. This stent, the most fitted in the world, is presented as a silicone tube with stubs allowing to avoid any movement. The non armed polysiloxane is covered with a new coating especially designed in order to keep its' flexibility which facilitates tolerance and evacuation of secretions.

A well-adapted ENDOXANE® does not move and cough reflexes are inhibited by reflex center saturation. The stubs prevent a direct contact between the stent surface and the mucus membrane and distribute the pressures among the small surfaces.

The main characteristics of ENDOXANE® Stents can be divided into three main categories:

  1. Histocompatibility: The medical grade silicone used for the manufacturing of ENDOXANE® is perfectly compatible during prolonged contact with trachea bronchial tissues.
  2. Anti-encrustation and Anti-adhesion: NOVATECH has designed a new coating which guarantees high quality treatment of the surface favoring an easy flow of mucus. The surface is homogeneous and has a very fine grain. The parameter roughness is very weak. Furthermore, the surface treatment used avoids any tissue coloring and facilitates the positioning as well as the removal process. The extremities of the stents are manufactured according to a patented system which considerably reduces the risks of "mechanic" accumulation of mucus. The sides allows being non traumatic as no obstacle of mucus flow can be detected.
  3. Anti-Migration System: All types of ENDOXANE® stents benefit from an exclusive and patented maintaining system. A perfect adhesion is assured by stubs found on the outer surface giving support to the surface and interpolating between the cartilaginous rings. This configuration prevents possible risks of stent migration if the size is well chosen.
    The only technological advancement that differs between the two devices is the new coating that we created in 1996. We have also developed three new shapes of the ENDOXANE Stents, each one with its particular use. The ENDOXANED Pediatric Stent was created in 1994 and is equipped with two lines of stubs opposite each other to facilitate the passage through the vocals cords. The ENDOXANE Y Stent is basically the same stent as Bryan Corporation but we added new dimension which are 15-12-12. This model is still used for carina pathologies associated with trachea and bronchus compression. The third new shape is the ENDOXANE ST Stent (hourglass shape) which is perfectly adapted to post intubation benion stenosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The conclusion that one can reach concerning our stents is best stated in the study published in "The Journal of Bronchology" (3:6-10, 1996) about the placing of 1500 stents (Cavalière, Diaz, Dumon, Vergnon). Not a single case of compression was observed, even in cases of the most serious tumors (osteosarcoma, for example). In all of the cases of extreme compression, the stent that was oval shaped at the outset regained its round shape in less than two days.

The proprietary name or trade name of our medical device is ENDOXANE ¯ ¯ he more common name of this device is an endo tracheal and endo bronchial stent, or Dumon Stent.

The Food and Drug Administration considers this device as a Class III - Tracheal Prosthesis.

The legally marketed device that we have cited for comparison is the ENDOXANE ® Stent, the same as ours, which was sold by our sole United States distributor, the Bryan Corporation (510K # K 4894380).

The device description can be found in Section IV Description of Device. In short, the ENDOXANE® is an endoscopy stent made of silicone. This stent, the most fitted in the world, is presented as a silicone tube with stubs allowing to avoid any movement. The non armed polysiloxane is covered with a new coating especially designed in order to keep its' flexibility which facilitates tolerance and evacuation of secretions.

A well-adapted ENDOXANE® does not move and cough reflexes are inhibited by reflex center saturation. The stubs prevent a direct contact between the stent surface and the mucus membrane and distribute the pressures among the small surfaces.

The main characteristics of ENDOXANE ® Stents can be divided into three main categories :

    1. Histo compatibility : The medical grade silicone used for the manufacturing of ENDOXANE® is perfectly compatible during prolonged contact with trachea bronchial tissues.
    1. Anti-encrustation and Anti-adhesion : NOVATECH has designed a new coating which guarantees high quality treatment of the surface favoring an easy flow of mucus. The surface is homogeneous and has a very fine grain. The parameter roughness is very weak. Furthermore, the surface treatment used avoids any tissue coloring and facilitates the positioning as well as the removal process. The extremities of the stents are manufactured according to a patented system which considerably reduces the risks of "mechanic" accumulation of mucus. The sides allows being non traumatic as no obstacle of mucus flow can be detected.
    1. Anti-Migration System : All types of ENDOXANE® stents benefit from an exclusive and patented maintaining system. A perfect adhesion is assured by stubs found on the outer surface giving support to the surface and interpolating between the cartilaginous rings. This configuration prevents possible risks of stent migration if the size is well chosen.

The main indications according to their frequency are :

    1. tracheobronchial tumors
    1. Tracheal stenosis with scarring
    1. Bronchial stenosis after surgical anastomotic, anastomoses resections or pulmonary transplantation.

These stenoses have, as a common characteristic, the importance of the extrinsic compression or the collapse of the cartilingeous wall. The indication always focuses on an endoscopic therapeutic action, whether is concerns a resection or dilation. The stent insertion is indicated if the endoscopic resection is incomplete, in case of a persistent extrinsic compression, or if the lumen is insufficient. The most frequent locations are tracheal. The left main bronchus is the second location, followed by the right main bronchus.

Our medical device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate device being that the two devices are the same. The only technological advancement that differs between the two devices is the new coating that we created in 1996. We have also developed three new shapes of the ENDOXANE Stents, each one with its particular use. The ENDOXANE BB Pediatric Stent was created in 1994 and is equipped with two lines of stubs opposite each other to facilitate the passage through the vocals cords. The ENDOXANE Y Stent is basically the same stent as Bryan Corporation but we added new dimension which are 15-12-12.
