Intended Use
This device is intended to be used through a compatible bronchoscope for the collection of tissue from the intrapulmonary regions. Do not use for any purpose other than its intended use.
Device Story
PeriFLEX Needle is a manual biopsy device used during bronchoscopy to collect tissue from intrapulmonary regions. The device consists of a handle, sheath, needle, and removable stylet. The user inserts the sheath and needle through the bronchoscope working channel to the target site; a manual needle slider on the handle extends and retracts the needle to puncture tissue and aspirate samples. A vacuum syringe and biopsy valve may be attached to assist collection. The stylet aids in sample removal. Used in surgical or endoscopy suites by physicians. The device features a laser-cut flexible distal tip to facilitate access to distal lesions and a smaller diameter for compatibility with modern bronchoscopes. It provides clinicians with tissue samples for diagnostic evaluation, potentially benefiting patients by enabling minimally invasive biopsy of lung tissue.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance verified through in vitro and ex vivo (bovine lung) testing. Tests included insertion/withdrawal forces, handle activation force, plastic deformation, transmission force, handle strength/durability, vacuum leak testing, and joint strength. Biocompatibility testing included cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, hemocompatibility, and pyrogenicity. Results met all pre-determined acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: Stainless steel, PEBAX, PTFE, Nitinol. Manual operation. Single-lumen catheter. 21G needle size. Laser-cut distal tip for flexibility. Sterile, single-use. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide. Compatible with standard bronchoscopes.
Indications for Use
Indicated for the collection of tissue from intrapulmonary regions in patients undergoing bronchoscopy. Used by or under the supervision of a physician.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A bronchoscope (flexible or rigid) and accessories is a tubular endoscopic device with any of a group of accessory devices which attach to the bronchoscope and is intended to examine or treat the larynx and tracheobronchial tree. It is typically used with a fiberoptic light source and carrier to provide illumination. The device is made of materials such as stainless steel or flexible plastic. This generic type of device includes the rigid ventilating bronchoscope, rigid nonventilating bronchoscope, nonrigid bronchoscope, laryngeal-bronchial telescope, flexible foreign body claw, bronchoscope tubing, flexible biopsy forceps, rigid biopsy curette, flexible biopsy brush, rigid biopsy forceps, flexible biopsy curette, and rigid bronchoscope aspirating tube, but excludes the fiberoptic light source and carrier.

## Device Description
The PeriFLEX Needle is intended to be used through a compatible bronchoscope for the collection of tissue from the intrapulmonary regions. The device is supplied sterile and intended for single patient use.
The main components of the device are a handle, a sheath, a needle, and a stylet. The sheath and needle (together termed the insertion portion) are attached to the handle. The removable stylet runs the full length of the device and fits inside the lumen of the handle and the needle.
The needle is housed within the sheath. These components, i.e., the insertion portion, are inserted into the working channel of the endoscope and advanced to the target site. The handle is connected to the insertion and has a needle slider component. The needle slider is controlled manually by the user to extend and retract the needle from the sheath at the target site. Once a sample is collected, the stylet may be used to assist with removing the sample from the needle.
The PeriFLEX Needle is available in one model only (PERIFLEX-21G), with a needle size of 21 gauge (21G). The PeriFLEX Needle can be used with the following accessories: vacuum syringe (to assist with sample collection), biopsy valve (to assist with creating a vacuum), and guide sheath (to extend the working length). However, these accessories are not included with the PeriFLEX Needle's packaging and must be obtained separately by the user.
## Indications for Use
The PeriFLEX Needle is intended to be used through a compatible bronchoscope for the collection of tissue from the intrapulmonary regions. Do not use for any purpose other than its intended use.
#### Comparison to Predicate Device
The PeriFLEX Needle is substantially equivalent to the chosen predicate, the Conmed Wang MW-222 Needle cleared under K914181. The PeriFLEX Needle has similar technological characteristics as the predicate device; there are no differences that raise different questions of safety and effectiveness relative to the predicate devices. Both devices operate in the same manner to obtain a tissue biopsy using a bronchoscope.
The primary difference between the subject and predicate device lies in the flexibility of the needle; the PeriFLEX Needle has a more flexible tip than the predicate device. Other differences between the subject device and the predicate device include a smaller diameter to facilitate compatibility with newer bronchoscopes with smaller working channels and a longer needle for better accessibility to distal lesions.
A detailed comparison of the PeriFLEX Needle, the chosen predicate device, and the reference device is provided in the following table.
