Intended Use
The CORTRAK™ System is an electrical device designed to aid qualified operators in the placement of VIASYS MedSystems feeding tubes of 8 FR or greater into the stomach or small bowel of patients requiring enteral feeding. Prior to commencing the delivery of food, confirmation of correct tube placement by acceptable hospital protocol is required.
Device Story
CORTRAK System aids clinicians in placing enteral feeding tubes. Device uses electromagnetic tracking technology to monitor tube tip position during insertion.

Benefits include potential reduction in blind placement risks and improved procedural efficiency. Used in clinical settings by trained healthcare professionals.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on technological characteristics and intended use.
Technological Characteristics
Electromagnetic tracking system for real-time visualization of feeding tube placement. Includes console, display, and compatible feeding tubes (8 FR or greater). Operates via electromagnetic sensor technology to track tip position. Class II device under 21 CFR 876.5980.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring enteral feeding who need placement of VIASYS MedSystems feeding tubes (8 FR or greater) into the stomach or small bowel. For use by qualified operators.

Dear Ms. Wasielewski:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA). it may be subject to such 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.

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