Intended Use

The Roth Net® retriever product line is intended to be used to retrieve excised polyps, tissue samples, foreign bodies and calculi during flexible and rigid endoscopy procedures.

Device Story

Roth Net retriever is an endoscopic accessory used by physicians during flexible or rigid endoscopy. Device consists of a proximal handle with a finger ring, a drive wire, a catheter sheath, and a distal fabric mesh basket (snare/net). Physician operates handle to deploy or retract the mesh basket through the endoscope's accessory channel. Once deployed, the net captures excised polyps, tissue samples, foreign bodies, or calculi. The device facilitates secure retrieval of these items from the patient. Modifications include changes to snare shape (round to octagonal), wire type (braided to flat), mesh configuration, catheter material (TFE to PE), and dimensions to improve clinical ease of use, visibility, and manufacturing efficiency. Verification testing confirms the device maintains grasping ability, structural integrity, and compatibility with various endoscopes.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Verification activities included deployment/retraction force testing (≤ 3.25 lbs), simulated use testing for grasping ability, kink resistance testing, tensile strength testing (≥ 12 lbs), and biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-5, 10, and 11). All tests passed, confirming performance equivalent to the predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Endoscopic accessory; consists of a proximal handle, drive wire, catheter sheath, and fabric mesh basket. Materials include polyethylene (catheter) and flat/braided wire (snare). Dimensions vary to accommodate different endoscope channels. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Sterile and non-sterile versions available. Operation: Mechanical, manual actuation via handle.

Indications for Use

Indicated for retrieval of excised polyps, tissue samples, foreign bodies, and calculi during flexible and rigid endoscopy procedures in patients requiring such interventions.

The device is marketed in both sterile and non-sterile versions. The fundamental design and technology of the Roth Net® retriever are the same as the predicate Polyp Snare Net originally submitted under K926104 with the exception of the changes listed below. The device consists of a proximal handle with a finger ring that controls the deployment of the fabric mesh basket (a wire snare with a fabric net attached). The snare/net is connected to a drive wire, which is then connected to the handle. The drive wire is encompassed within a sheath that makes up the catheter. Below is a representative drawing of the Roth Net® retriever. Image /page/1/Figure/8 description: The image shows a medical device with multiple labeled parts. Part 1 is labeled as a snare/net that is deployed. Part 2 is labeled as a catheter, while parts 3 and 4 are other components of the device. - - 3. Finger ring - 4. Handle ### Description of Modified Device Subsequent to FDA's determination that the Polyp Snare Net was substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices under 510(k) K926104 on April 5, 1993, US Endoscopy implemented modifications to the device that are summarized below in Table 1. Each modification was reviewed and documented by US Endoscopy in accordance with Company procedures and processes regarding post-market product modifications and the guidance document, "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (K97-1). The modified Roth Net retriever has the same intended use and same fundamental technological characteristics as the predicate Polyp Snare Net device. Each {2}------------------------------------------------ ・・・・・ United States Endoscopy Group, Inc. 510(k) Premarket Notification: Special Roth Net® retriever modification was determined not to have a significant effect on the safety or effectiveness of the device, either individually and cumulatively. Determination that the modifications do not affect the performance characteristics of the device was accomplished through verification and validation testing, incorporating all device modifications made to date. This testing demonstrated that the modified device performs the same as the device cleared under K926104. ### Summary of Design Control Activities The risk management activities used to assess the impact of the modifications were performed in accordance with US Endoscopy standard operating procedures and ISO 14971:2009. The test methods used are the same as those used to test the predicate device reviewed under K926104. A declaration of conformity to design controls is included on page 26. The design verification tests that were performed as a result of this risk analysis are listed in Table 1 below. {3}------------------------------------------------ 1 - - - - - - - - - - United States Endoscopy Group, I 510(k) Premarket Notification: Special Roth Net® retriever # ABLE 1 - Design Control Activities Summar . . | Device<br>Modification | Reason for<br>Modification<br>Changes for Clinical Ease of Use | Risk/ Hazard | Mitigation | Verification Activity | Acceptance Criteria | Verification<br>Results | | |-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------| | Change in snare<br>shape from<br>round to<br>octagonal and<br>change in snare<br>loop wire shape<br>(braided cable to<br>flat wire) | To better allow<br>the loop to<br>maintain its<br>shape;

Verification and validation testing performed for each modification to the Roth Net® device demonstrates that these changes, both individually and cumulatively, do not have a significant effect on the safety or effectiveness of the device, do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device and verify the Roth Net® device performs the same as the predicate device. Therefore, we conclude that the Roth Net® device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Polyp Snare Net device. ### 510(k) Summary /Statement A 510(k) statement is included on page 17.
