Intended Use
The EsoFLIP® Balloon Dilation Catheter is indicated for use in a clinical setting for dilating the gastro-esophageal junction of a patient with Achalasia.
Device Story
EsoFLIP® is a balloon dilation catheter used in hospitals/surgery centers by clinicians to treat Achalasia. It connects to the EndoFLIP® controller system and a syringe pump; the balloon is inflated with saline to dilate the gastro-esophageal junction. The device incorporates impedance planimetry to provide real-time diameter measurements (Dest) at 14 points along the balloon length during the procedure. This allows the clinician to monitor the dilation process. The device is a modification of the EndoFLIP® catheter, combining dilation capabilities with measurement functionality. It benefits patients by providing a controlled, measurable dilation of the esophageal junction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included balloon fatigue, bond strength, torque, balloon compliance, assembly, and Dest performance. Results demonstrate the device meets performance specifications. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Catheter with inflatable balloon; impedance planimetry for diameter measurement (14 points); 30mm max diameter; 80mm working length; guidewire compatible; single-patient use; non-sterile; materials identical to K120997 (ISO 10993-1 compliant).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with Achalasia to dilate the gastro-esophageal junction in a clinical setting.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use).
Special Controls
*Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube.

#### Device Description:
The EsoFLIP® balloon dilation catheter is a modification of the predicate Crospon EndoFLIP® catheters. The EsoFLIP® is a small catheter with an inflatable balloon which is inserted into the gastro-esophageal junction of a patient with Achalasia. It is connected to the EndoFLIP® controller system (K I20997) and the catherer is attached to a syringe, pre-filled with a diluted saline solution, which is inserted into the syringe pump on the front of the EndoFLIP® system. The EsoFLIP® catheter is inserted by the clinician. The proposed balloon dilation catheter, EsoFLIP®, can also make diameter measurements electrically using the same impedance planimetry measuring technique as that deployed in the predicate EndoFLIP® system. K 120997.
#### Modifications of these devices vs. Predicates:
The following is a summary of the differences between the proposed EsoFLIP® and the predicate Crospon EndoFLIP® catheters.
- (1) Change in indications for use
- (2) Change of the balloon material to a stiffer material, a material which is used in the predicate
- (3) Increase the overall diameter of the balloon from 25 mm to 30 mm
- (4) Reduce the number of Dest measurements points from 16 to 14
- (5) Change of the tip to be a guidewire tip made from the same material in the predicate EndoFLIP®
