Intended Use
The EsoFLIP® ES balloon catheter is indicated for use to dilate esophageal strictures due to esophageal surgery, primary gastro-esophageal reflux and radiation therapy. Note: The EsoFLIP® ES catheter is to be used only with the EndoFLIP® system.
Device Story
EsoFLIP® ES is an esophageal balloon dilation catheter used exclusively with the EndoFLIP® system. It functions as an endoscopically placed device for dilating esophageal strictures. The device features a balloon that is inflated with saline; it incorporates electrode sensors to provide real-time diameter measurements at 16 points along the balloon length. Used in hospitals and surgery centers by physicians, the device provides clinicians with visual feedback on balloon diameter during the dilation procedure. This allows for controlled dilation of strictures. The device is a single-patient-use, disposable accessory. It utilizes a stiffer balloon material compared to its predecessor to support increased inflation pressures up to 2 ATM.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included accuracy, bond strength, balloon fatigue, catheter torque, balloon burst, balloon compliance, assembly tests, and 2-year shelf life. Materials were tested for biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1.
Technological Characteristics
Balloon material: Nylon 12. Shaft/Tip material: Pebax 2533 SA01. Sensing: Electrode-based impedance measurement of balloon diameter at 16 points. Energy: Saline-inflated balloon (up to 2 ATM). Connectivity: Proprietary interface with EndoFLIP® system. Sterilization: Supplied non-sterile, single-patient use. Dimensions: 8-20 mm diameter range, 80 mm working length.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring dilation of esophageal strictures resulting from esophageal surgery, primary gastro-esophageal reflux, or radiation therapy. Contraindicated if endoscopy is contraindicated, in the presence of actively bleeding varices, or for diameter measurements <8 mm or >20 mm.
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 EndoFLIP® system is an endoscopically placed device that utilizes a catheter for various indications. Crospon submitted and received 510(k) clearances for the EndoFLIP® System with a number of different catheters with different indications for use. This submission is seeking to expand the indication for use for the proposed EsoFLIP® ES catheter to dilate esophageal strictures due to esophageal surgery, primary gastro-esophageal reflux and radiation therapy.
In all cases the catheters are to only be used with the EndoFLIP® system.
## Modifications of these devices vs. Predicates:
The following is a summary of the differences between the proposed EsoFLIP® ES and the predicate Crospon EsoFLIP® ES-330 catheter, cleared under K132337.
- (1) Expanded indications for use
- (2) Change of the balloon material to a stiffer material for the increased inflation pressure to 2 ATM.
- (3) Has diameter measurements at 16 points vs. the ES-330 (K132337) at 14 points
## Indications for Use:
The EsoFLIP® ES balloon catheter is indicated for use to dilate esophageal strictures due to esophageal surgery, primary gastro-esophageal reflux and radiation therapy.
Note: The EsoFLIP® ES catheter is to be used only with the EndoFLIP® system.
