Intended Use

The Orbus LifeStent SDS Biliary Endoprosthesis is indicated for use in the palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.

Device Story

The LifeStent SDS Biliary Endoprosthesis is a balloon-expandable stent designed to maintain patency of bile ducts obstructed by malignant tumors. The device consists of a laser-cut 316L stainless steel stent mounted on a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter. It is inserted percutaneously into the biliary tree and deployed via balloon inflation. Used by clinicians in a clinical setting, the device provides mechanical support to the ductal wall to alleviate obstruction. It is a permanent implant intended to improve patient quality of life by facilitating bile flow.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. In vitro testing included deployment, expansion force, compression force, dimensions, corrosion susceptibility, visual appearance, balloon performance, expansion damage, and balloon tensile strength.

Technological Characteristics

Material: 316L stainless steel. Design: Laser-cut open lattice balloon-expandable stent. Dimensions: 6.0-8.0 mm diameter; 18-56 mm length. Delivery: PTA balloon catheter. Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for the palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. Not for use in the vascular system.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Special Controls

*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.

#### 8. Description:

The LifeStent SDS Biliary Endoprosthesis consists of a balloon expandable stent which is provided mounted onto a percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon catheter which acts as the delivery system. The stent is a permanently implanted device used to maintain patency of a major bile duct obstructed by tissue of an impinging tumor. The flexible, balloon expandable stent is made by laser cutting an open lattice design into a 316L stainless steel tube. The stent is supplied mounted onto a PTA balloon catheter, inserted percutaneously to the diseased site, and expanded by balloon inflation. The systems are available with expanded diameters of 6.0, 7.0, and 8.0 mm at stent lengths of 18, 26, 36, and 56 mm.

#### 9. Intended Use:

The LifeStent SDS Biliary Endoprosthesis is intended for the palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree.

#### 10. Technological Characteristics:

Comparisons of the new and predicate devices were designed to show that the technical characteristics such as materials, performance properties, biocompatibility, method of sterilization, and packaging are identical or substantially equivalent.

### 11. Performance Data:

Orbus protocols ensure that the LifeStent SDS Biliary Endoprosthesis performs in a manner substantially equivalent to the predicate devices during in vitro tests such as deployment, expansion force, compression force, dimensions, corrosion susceptibility, visual appearance, balloon performance, expansion damage, and balloon tensile strength.

The words "page" and "of" are written in lowercase letters, while the numbers are written in standard numerical format. The text appears to be a page number or document identifier.

## 12. Conclusion

Since the LifeStent SDS Biliary Endoprosthesis, comprised of the Ø 6-10 mm LifeStent (K010107) and the Opti-Plast XT catheter (K941706), has the same intended use, identical material properties, similar performance properties, packaging, and sterilization methods, it may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate devices cited in (7).

Dear Mr. Clossick:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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.

{3}------------------------------------------------

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement described above is added to your labeling.

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

If you desire specific information about the application of other labeling requirements to your device (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International, and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number [phone] or [phone] or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
