Intended Use
The Medtronic AVE Bridge™ Stent is intended to maintain patency of a bile duct which is occluded by a malignant tumor. The Medtronic AVE Bridge™ Stent System (Hi-Flex) -- Biliary Indication is intended to maintain patency of a biliary duct which is occluded by a malignant tumor.
Device Description
The Bridge™ Stent consists of a balloon expandable intralumenal stent premounted onto the balloon of an over-the-wire delivery catheter. Radiopaque markers are imbedded on the inner shaft (at each end of the stent) to aid in the placement of the stent during fluoroscopy. The delivery system is compatible with 0.035" guidewires and has a useable length of 75 cm or 120 cm. The device is provided in a sterile package. Size range: 6.0 to 10.0 mm Diameters; 20mm, 40mm, 60mm Lengths.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a stent and its delivery system, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes

The device is a stent intended to maintain the patency of a bile duct occluded by a malignant tumor, which is a direct therapeutic intervention to address a medical condition.

No

The device is a stent intended to maintain the patency of a bile duct occluded by a malignant tumor. Its function is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical stent and delivery catheter, which are hardware components. The intended use also describes a physical intervention (maintaining patency of a bile duct).

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.
  • Device Function: The Medtronic AVE Bridge™ Stent is a physical device that is implanted inside the body to maintain the patency of a bile or biliary duct. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for maintaining patency of a duct occluded by a tumor, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical stent and delivery system, not a test kit or analytical instrument.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopy is an imaging technique used to guide the placement of the device in vivo, not to analyze samples in vitro.

Therefore, the Medtronic AVE Bridge™ Stent is a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Performance testing was conducted on the subject device for the purpose of direct comparison to the predicate device.
Tests conducted:

  • Balloon Deflation Time
  • Crossing Profile
  • Stent Free Area
  • Stent Length
  • Stent Recoil

Purpose of tests: To compare the stent/delivery system of the subject device and the predicate device. To compare the stent dimensional data for the subject device and the predicate device.

Conclusions: The performance testing and comparison of the Peripheral AVE Stent Delivery System and the Medtronic AVE Bridge™ Stent prove the two devices are substantially equivalent.

§ 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.

| Performance
Testing | The subject device for this 510(k) is identical to the predicate device with the
exception of an alternate stent segment (component). The flexible Bridge™
Stent was found to be substantially equivalent in K983008 approved
November 25, 1998. Performance testing was conducted on the subject
device for the purpose of direct comparison to the predicate device. The
testing was chosen to highlight any differences between the subject device
and the predicate device. The balloon materials have not been changed. The
useable catheter length may be either 75 cm (cleared in K983008) or a new
length, 120 cm. The manufacturing process is not changed. | |

Dear Ms. Walton:

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 the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed prodicatc 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, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling.

The safety and effectiveness of this device for use in the vascular system have not been established.

Furthermore, the indication for biliary use must be prominently displayed in all labeling, including pouch, box, and carton labels, instructions for use, and other promotional materials, in close proximity to the trade name, of a similar point size, and in bold print.
