Indications for Use

The HALO60 Ablation Catheter (used with the HALOFER Energy Generator, model 1190A-115A) is indicated for use in the coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract including but not limited to the esophagus. Indications include Esophageal Ulcers, Mallory-Weiss tears, Arteriovenous Malformations, Angiomata, Barrett's Esophagus, Dieulafoy Lesions, Angiodysplasia, Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE) and Radiation Proctitis (RP).

Device Story

Single-use bipolar ablation catheter; delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to gastrointestinal tissue via copper electrode. Used with HALOFER Energy Generator (model 1190A-115A). Physician introduces catheter into esophagus under endoscopic visualization; positions electrode against target tissue; activates energy via generator front panel or foot-pedal. Generator recognizes catheter via unique ID; automatically sets power/energy density. Coagulation effect verified endoscopically. Enables treatment of smaller diseased areas compared to predicate. Benefits patient by providing targeted coagulation of bleeding/non-bleeding sites.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Design verification activities and FMECA were performed to demonstrate that design outputs meet design input requirements following the dimensional modification of the electrode.

Technological Characteristics

Single-use bipolar electrosurgical catheter; copper electrode; RF energy source; dimensions reduced to 1.5cm² surface area. Compatible with HALOFER Energy Generator. No software changes. Sterilization method not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding gastrointestinal sites, including esophagus, in patients with Esophageal Ulcers, Mallory-Weiss tears, Arteriovenous Malformations, Angiomata, Barrett's Esophagus, Dieulafoy Lesions, Angiodysplasia, Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE), and Radiation Proctitis (RP).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.

# ESTABLISHMENT REGISTRATION NUMBER

3004904811

#### COMMON OR USUAL NAME

Electrosurgical Coagulation Catheter

## REGULATION DESCRIPTION

Electrosurgical Cutting and Coagulation Devices and Accessories (21 CFR 878.4400, Product Code GEI)

#### PREDICATE DEVICE

HALO90 Ablation Catheter (model 90-9100, cleared by the FDA under K093008, K083737, and K062723).

#### OVERVIEW

The HALO® Ablation Catheter (subject device, hereafter referred to as "HALO®") is a single-use bipolar device that delivers radiofrequency energy to the treatment tissue within the gastrointestinal tract through a copper electrode. The HALO" is a modification of the HALO® Ablation Catheter (predicate device, cleared by the FDA under K093008, K083737, and K062723, hereafter referred to as "HALO""). The

{1}------------------------------------------------

K112454

primary modification is a dimensional reduction of the copper electrode surface area, from 2.6cm- (1.3cm x 2.0cm, HALO90) to 1.5cm- (1.0cm x 1.5cm, HALO80). Secondary modifications include dimensional reduction of the copper electrode supporting components.

The electrode surface area of the subject device is reduced to approximately 60% of the predicate device, hence the product name HALO60. This new product provides an option for physicians to treat smaller diseased area. The modification neither changes the intended use nor alters the fundamental scientific technology of the original device; therefore this submission is a Special 510(k).

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The HALO® (subject device) is a single-use bipolar device that delivers radiofrequency energy to the treatment tissue within the gastrointestinal tract. It is used solely with the HALOFES Energy Generator (model 1190A-115A), which provides the radiofrequency energy.

### PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Same as the HALO90, the HALO® is connected to the HALOFER Energy Generator using an output cable. Once connected, the Generator will recognize the catheter based on a unique ID and set the appropriate power density and energy density range.

The HALO® is introduced into the esophagus under endoscopic visualization. Once the targeted treatment area is identified, the catheter electrode is positioned against the tissue by deflecting the endoscope. The energy activation is performed by depressing either a front panel switch on the generator or the foot-pedal. After the energy is delivered, the coagulation effect can be verified endoscopically.

# INDICATION FOR USE STATEMENT

The HALO60 Ablation Catheter (used with the HALOFER Energy Generator, model 1190A-115A) is indicated for use in the coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract including but not limited to the esophagus. Indications include Esophageal Ulcers, Mallory-Weiss tears, Arteriovenous Malformations, Angiomata, Barrett's Esophagus, Dieulafoy Lesions, Angiodysplasia, Gastric Antral Vascular Ectasia (GAVE) and Radiation Proctitis (RP).

# SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE DISCUSSION

As mentioned earlier, the HALO® (subject device) is a modification of the HALO90 (predicate device), cleared by the FDA under K093008, K083737, and K062723. The primary modification is a dimensional reduction of the copper electrode surface area, from 2.6cm² (1.3cm x 2.0cm, HALO90) to 1.5cm² (1.0cm x 1.5cm, HALO90) and the secondary modifications include dimensional reduction of the copper electrode supporting components. There is no change in the materials, amount of energy being delivered and the depth of the tissue being treated.

Both the subject and the predicate devices have the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology. Both devices are compatible with the HALO「EEX Energy Generator. No changes have been made to the HALOFER Energy Generator software in order to accommodate the HALO60.

#### SUMMARY OF DESIGN CONTROL ACTIVITIES

Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) was used to analyze the risks associated with the design modification. Design verification activities demonstrate that the design outputs of the modified device meet the design input requirements.

### CONCLUSION

In summary, the company's HALO® Ablation Catheter has the same intended use as all of the previously cleared HALO90 Ablation Catheter (K093008, K083737, K062723). In addition, the HALO® Ablation Catheter has identical indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate devices.

The minor differences between the HALO® Ablation Catheter model 90-9300 and its predicate device HALO90 Ablation Catheter model 90-9100 do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the HALO® Ablation Catheter model 90-9300 is substantially equivalent.
