## Indications for Use

The disposable Capsule Delivery Device is a single sheathed device indicated for transendoscopic delivery of the M2A® Capsule Endoscope to the duodenum in patients who are either unable to swallow the M2A® Capsule Endoscope, or unable to pass the M2A® Capsule Endoscope beyond the pylorus in sufficient time to complete the desired diagnostic evaluation.

## Device Story

The Capsule Delivery Device is a single-use, sheathed instrument designed for transendoscopic delivery of the M2A® Capsule Endoscope. It is used by physicians in a clinical setting to assist in placing the capsule into the duodenum when patients cannot swallow the device or when the capsule fails to pass the pylorus naturally. The device facilitates the diagnostic procedure by ensuring the capsule reaches the target site for imaging. It does not perform analysis itself but acts as a mechanical delivery aid to enable the function of the M2A® Capsule Endoscope.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; device is a mechanical delivery accessory.

## Technological Characteristics

Single-use, sheathed mechanical delivery device. Designed for transendoscopic use. No electronic components, software, or energy sources.

## Regulatory Identification

An ingestible telemetric gastrointestinal capsule imaging system is used for visualization of the small bowel mucosa as an adjunctive tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel. The device captures images of the small bowel with a wireless camera contained in a capsule. This device includes an ingestible capsule (containing a light source, camera, transmitter, and battery), an antenna array, a receiving/recording unit, a data storage device, computer software to process the images, and accessories.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance, “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Ingestible Telemetric Gastrointestinal Capsule Imaging Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

Dear Ms. Cohen,

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 23, 2004.

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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, 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 practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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
