Identification
A magnetic compression anastomosis system is a surgical device used for the creation of anastomoses in minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgery in the gastrointestinal tract. The system is comprised of magnet devices and may involve a delivery system. Compression and necrosis of tissue between magnet devices is created by polar attraction of the magnet devices with healing of tissue around the devices. Once the anastomosis is formed, the magnet devices are expelled naturally. The MagDI System is specifically indicated for use in the creation of side-to-side duodeno-ileal anastomoses in adult patients > 21 years.
Classification Rationale
Class II (special controls). The device is classified as Class II because it is a surgical device that requires special controls to provide reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness, including clinical performance testing, postmarket surveillance, and specific labeling requirements to mitigate risks such as internal hernia, bowel obstruction, and tissue damage.
Special Controls
In combination with the general controls of the FD&C Act, the magnetic compression anastomosis system is subject to the following special controls:
