Intended Use
The Esophagus Bougie Set was designed to treat cancer of the esophagus. The Esophagus Bougie Set is an applicator used to facilitate delivery of a radiation source to the esophagus when used in conjunction with a Varian high dose rate afterloader.
Device Story
Esophagus bougie is an HDR radiation applicator; facilitates delivery of radioactive source to esophagus. Used with Varian high dose rate afterloaders. Device consists of bougie tube, catheter, clamping screw, bite protector, threaded ring, fixation strap, and guide wire. Radioactive source is driven from afterloader through transfer guide tubes into applicator positioned in patient. Physician controls source position and dwell time per irradiation treatment prescription. Device is non-electronic; no software. Bougie tube and catheter are disinfected; other components steam sterilized. Fixation strap and guide wire are single-use. Benefits patient by enabling targeted radiation delivery for esophageal cancer treatment.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included design verification of cleaning/disinfection processes per DIN EN ISO 17664 and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1, 10993-5, and 10993-10. Reformulated PVC material was evaluated through design verification to ensure no impact on performance or biocompatibility.
Technological Characteristics
Applicator for HDR radiation therapy. Materials: PVC (reformulated). Components: bougie tube, catheter, clamping screw, bite protector, threaded ring, fixation strap, guide wire. Sterilization: steam sterilization for metal components; high-level disinfection for bougie tube/catheter. No electronics or software. Complies with ISO 10993 and DIN EN ISO 17664.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with cancer of the esophagus requiring radiation therapy via high dose rate afterloader.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A remote controlled radionuclide applicator system is an electromechanical or pneumatic device intended to enable an operator to apply, by remote control, a radionuclide source into the body or to the surface of the body for radiation therapy. This generic type of device may include patient and equipment supports, component parts, treatment planning computer programs, and accessories.

The Varian Medical Esophagus Bougie is an HDR applicator designed to Device Description: facilitate delivery of radiation to the Esophagus and has been modified to work with Varian Medical afterloaders. The bougie tube and catheter can be cleaned and disinfected with high level disinfectants and has a maximum insertion time of 24 hours. The clamping screw, bite protector and threaded ring can be steam sterilized. The fixation strap and guide wire are single use. The device does not contain any electronics or software.
> A high activity radioactive source is placed within the applicator which has previously been placed for a specified clinical purpose in a patient.
The radioactive source (enclosed within the wire/cable) is driven via coupling catheters (Transfer Guide Tubes) from the Afterloader into the applicator within the patient.
The length of time and position that the High Dose Rate source spends within the applicator is controlled in accordance with an Irradiation Treatment Prescription.
Intended Use Statement
The Esophagus Bougie Set was designed to treat cancer of the esophagus. The Esophagus Bougie Set is an applicator used to facilitate delivery of a radiation source to the esophagus when used in conjunction with a Varian high dose rate afterloader.

### Technological Characteristics
Significant change to the predicate device is listed below.
| Performance | Cleared device | Device with change |
|------------------------------------------------|----------------|--------------------|
| Sterilization method:<br>Bougie tube, catheter | Sterilized | Disinfected |
The clamping screw, bite protector, threaded ring, fixation strap and guide wire sterilization remains the same.
### Discussion of nonclinical testing;
The esophagus bougie sterilization efficacy and suitability of the manual cleaning and disinfection process was evaluated through design verification and testing. Non-clinical testing showed the test articles met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness of the cleaning and disinfection process plus the cleaning and disinfection agents according to DIN EN ISO 17664 (July 2004). Biocompatibility testing performed in accordance with ISO 10993-1, 10993-5 and 10993-10 show the device is safe for bodily contact.
Per the FDA's Guidance document Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device, only the formulation of this non-implant PVC material was changed. One of the components used in the composite material is no longer available; however, the composite material remains the same. The reformulated material was evaluated through design verification and testing. Non-clinical testing showed the test articles met the pre-defined acceptance criteria, thereby demonstrating the reformulated material did not impact device performance or biocompatibility.
### Conclusion of nonclinical testing:
The change to the esophagus bougie does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness when compared to the predicate device and, therefore, is substantially equivalent to the predicate esophagus bougie.
