Intended Use
The Wilson-Cook Needle Knife Papillotome is used for accessing the common bile duct when standard cannulation methods have been exhausted. This device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only.
Device Description
The Wilson-Cook Needle Knife Papillotome consists of a single lumen tubing, 23 gauge needle, and a papillotome handle. This device is designed for insertion through the accessory channel of an endoscope. The catheter is advanced through the accessory channel positioning the needle knife near the papillary orifice. The device is connected to an electrocautery unit via an active cord. The current from the electrocautery unit is passed through the cutting wire to the distal end of the papillotome thus allowing the needle knife to make small incisions in the papilla. Once the appropriate incision has been made the needle knife may be retracted allowing cannulation of the biliary tree.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on a mechanical and electrical device for surgical incision, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used to make incisions in the papilla, which is a therapeutic intervention to facilitate cannulation of the biliary tree.

No

The device description indicates it is used for surgical incisions and cannulation, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (tubing, needle, handle, cutting wire) and its function involves physical interaction with tissue via electrocautery, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Wilson-Cook Needle Knife Papillotome is a surgical instrument used within the body (in vivo) to access the common bile duct by making incisions in the papilla. It is a therapeutic and procedural device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "accessing the common bile duct when standard cannulation methods have been exhausted," which is a procedural action, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details its physical components and how it's used to make incisions, further confirming its role as a surgical tool.

Therefore, the Wilson-Cook Needle Knife Papillotome falls under the category of a surgical or procedural device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Hensley:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
