The Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector is intended for connecting an enteral feeding set equipped with a stepped enteral distal end to a gastronomy tube equipped with an ENFit connector.

Device Story

The Medline ENFit Transition Connector and Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector are single-use adapters designed to bridge the compatibility gap between legacy enteral feeding devices and new ISO 80369-compliant ENFit connectors. The devices function as physical adapters; one end features an ENFit connector (female or male depending on the model) and the other features a legacy stepped distal tip or funnel port. These adapters are used in clinical settings to ensure continuity of enteral feeding when legacy and new-standard equipment must be interconnected. By facilitating these connections, the device prevents interruptions in patient nutrition during the transition period of adopting uniform ENFit standards. The device is operated by healthcare providers during the setup of enteral feeding systems.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, including enteral connector misconnection assessment, human factors validation, FMEA, bioburden, metrology, shelf-life, leachables/extractables, biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10), and ISO 80369-20 performance testing (leakage, stress cracking, axial load, unscrewing, and overriding).

Technological Characteristics

Non-sterile, single-use adapters made of non-DEHP PVC. Features rigid ENFit connectors designed per AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) and AAMI/CN20:2014 (PS) standards. Mechanical interface design facilitates connection between legacy stepped distal tips/funnel ports and ENFit-compliant components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring enteral feeding who need to connect legacy non-ISO 80369-1 compliant enteral feeding devices to new AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit enteral devices.

- . The specific Cedic ENFit Transition Connector for Enteral Applications cleared under K140581 that is selected for comparison with the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector is: The Cedic Enteral Funnel ENFit Transition Connector.

#### INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Medline ENFit Transition Connector is intended for connecting an enteral feeding set with an ENFit connector to a gastronomy tube with funnel.

The Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector is intended for connecting an enteral feeding set equipped with a stepped enteral distal end to a gastronomy tube equipped with an ENFit connector.

#### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

In an effort to mitigate the risk of misconnections associated with enteral feeding devices, manufacturers have recently began to adopt a uniform connector for enteral devices, called an ENFit connector, which is based upon the ISO 80369 series of standards and is in accordance with FDA Final Guidance for Industry: Safety Considerations to Mitigate the Risks of Misconnections with Small-bore Connectors Intended for Enteral Applications (February 11, 2015). This uniform ENFit connector provides a locking feature that signals the appropriate connection to stay in place. In addition, the ENFit connector features a female mating component end for enteral feeding sets and a male mating component end for gastronomy feeding tubes, which allows for the interconnection of these devices.

However, it will take time for enteral devices with this uniform ENFit connector to become widely available and fully adopted across healthcare settings, as existing enteral devices with previouslydesigned "legacy" connectors, which are not compliant with ISO 80369-1, still remain in inventory. Therefore, to prevent an interruption or delay in patient care when an enteral device with an

AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connector must be connected to an existing enteral device with a non-AAMI/ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant connector, a temporary need has emerged for an adapter that can facilitate connection between enteral devices with these incompatible end connectors.

The Medline ENFit Transition Connector and the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector address this temporary need and facilitate enteral-specific connections between AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant enteral connectors and non-AAMI/ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant connectors to ensure that patient enteral feeding is not impeded when an enteral feeding device with an AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connector must be connected to a previously-designed, existing enteral feeding device with a non-AAMI/ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant end connector.

The Medline ENFit Transition Connector and the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector, which are described in further detail below, allow specific connections between enteral feeding devices with AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connectors (also known as "PGLock" connectors) and enteral feeding devices with non-AAMI/ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant, legacy connectors that are still available for use in healthcare settings. To facilitate this connection, the Medline ENFit Transition Connector and the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector are both designed with the mating component of an AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS)-compliant ENFit connector at one end and the mating component of a previously-used, legacy connector at its other end.

Specifically, the two designs of ENFit transition adapters that are within the scope of this 510(k) Premarket Notification submission are:

#### 1.) The Medline ENFit Transition Connector

The Medline ENFit Transition Connector allows fitment of newly-released enteral feeding sets with AAMI/ CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connectors to existing gastronomy tubes with non-AAMI/ ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant end connectors, referred to as "funnel feeding ports," which are still available for use in healthcare settings. Specifically, to facilitate the interconnection between newlyreleased feeding sets, which are equipped with female ENFit connectors, and the funnel feeding ports of previously-designed gastronomy tubes, this adapter provides the mating component of an ENFit female connector, designed and tested in accordance with AAMI/ CN3:2014 (PS) and AAMI/CN20:2014 (PS), at one of its ends, and the mating component of a non-AAMI/ANSV/ISO 80369-1 compliant funnel feeding port, a stepped Distal Tip connector, at its other end.

#### 2.) The Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector

The Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector allows fitment of newly-released gastronomy tubes (or "Gtubes") with AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connectors to previously-designed enteral feeding sets with non-AAMI/ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant connectors, which still may be available for use in healthcare settings. To facilitate the compatibility between gastronomy tubes with ENFit male

connectors and the stepped Distal Tip connector of existing enteral feeding sets, the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector provides the mating component of an ENFit male connector, designed and tested based upon AAMI/ CN3:2014 (PS) and AAMI/CN20:2014 (PS), at one of its ends, and the mating component of a stepped Distal Tip connector, a funnel feeding port, at its other end.

### SUMMARY OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The Medline ENFit Transition Connector and the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector are made of non-DEHP PVC and are both non-sterile, single-use devices. In addition, the ENFit connector featured on both configurations of the proposed device is made of rigid materials to reduce the likelihood of forced fits between flexible connectors that are not intended to connect with each other, as recommended in FDA Final Guidance for Industry: Safety Considerations to Mitigate the Risks of Misconnections with Small-bore Connectors Intended for Enteral Applications (February 11, 2015).

Additionally, the Medline ENFit Transition Connector and the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector are similar in design, intended use, function and internal and external characteristics to the predicate device cleared under K140581. Cedic ENFit Transition Connectors for Enteral Applications. Both the proposed and predicate devices operate by providing a means of interconnecting incompatible enteral feeding device end-fittings together, so that patient enteral feeding can take place when enteral feeding devices with AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connectors must be connected to enteral feeding devices with previously-designed, non-AAMI/ANSI/ISO 80369-1 compliant enteral connectors. To facilitate this connection, both the proposed and predicate devices act as an adapter by providing the mating component of an AAMI/CN3:2014 (PS) compliant ENFit connector at one end and the mating component of a previously-used, legacy connector at its other end.

### SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING

Non-clinical verification of the Medline ENFit Transition Connector and the Medline ENFit G-Tube Connector has been conducted to evaluate the safety, performance and functionality of these devices. The results of all testing were ultimately found to support a substantial equivalence determination.
