Intended Use

The Rotatable Snare is used endoscopically in the removal and/or and cauterization of diminutive polyps, sessile polyps, pedunculated polyps and tissue from within the gastrointestinal tract.

Device Story

Rotatable Snare is an endoscopic accessory used by physicians to remove and cauterize GI tract polyps. Device consists of a flexible wire cable and loop housed within a flexible outer sheath, controlled by a three-ring handle. The loop can be extended, retracted, and rotated 360° via a rotation actuator on the handle. The sheath interior features Polyglide™ coating to reduce friction. During use, the device is passed through an endoscope; a monopolar electrical current is delivered through the loop to cut and cauterize target tissue. The design modification moves the rotation actuator from the main sheath to the handle to improve ergonomics. The device is intended for clinical use in a gastrointestinal setting.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included working length, tortuous path functionality, rotation capability, handle-to-core wire tensile strength, electrical resistance, electrical safety, and snare actuation. All tests met required specifications.

Technological Characteristics

Flexible wire cable and loop with Polyglide™ coated outer sheath. Monopolar electrosurgical energy source. Three-ring handle with integrated rotation actuator. No new patient-contacting materials. Device is a manual endoscopic accessory; no software or electronic algorithms.

Indications for Use

Indicated for endoscopic removal and/or cauterization of diminutive, sessile, and pedunculated polyps and tissue from the gastrointestinal tract.

Reference Device Trade Name: Single Use Polypectomy Snares Captivator II, Single Use Polypectomy Snares Common Name: Polypectomy Snares Manufacturer: Boston Scientific Corporation K133987 Clearance Numbers: Classification Name: Snare, Flexible Snare, Non-Electrical 876.4300 Regulation Number: 876.4730 Product Code: FDI FGX Classification: Class II ### 5. Device Description The Rotatable Snare consists of a flexible wire cable (core wire) and loop which can be extended and retracted from the Snare's flexible outer sheath using a three-ring handle. The flexible cable and loop can also be rotated 360° using the rotation actuator on the handle. The inner diameter of the sheath is Polyglide™ coated to provide minimal friction during extension, rotation, and retraction of the loop from the sheath. When passed through an endoscope and activated, the Snare delivers a monopolar electrical current to cut and cauterize tissue with the loop. #### 6. Indications for Use The Rotatable Snare is used endoscopically in the removal and/or and cauterization of diminutive polyps, sessile polyps, pedunculated polyps and tissue from within the gastrointestinal tract. #### 7. Technological Characteristics This change is modifying the design of the Rotatable Snare to improve ergonomics of the device handle by moving the rotation actuator of the snare to the handle from its current position along the main sheath. The proposed Rotatable Snares are similar in materials, design, and manufacturing process to the predicate Rotatable Snares (K131700) and will use many of the same components as the reference Captivator II Snares (K133987). There are no new patient contacting materials used on the proposed snares. #### 8. Performance Data In-vitro Testing has been performed and all components, subassemblies, and/or full devices met the required specifications for the completed tests. A summary of the test results has been provided for Working Length, Tortuous Path Functionality, Rotation Capability, Handle to Core {5}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Boston Scientific.

Wire Tensile Strength, Electrical Resistance, Electrical Safety, and Snare Actuation. The results of all testing were passing. # 9. Conclusion Boston Scientific Corporation has demonstrated that the proposed Rotatable Snares are substantially equivalent to Boston Scientific Corporation's currently marketed Rotatable Snares (K131700).
