The NCompass Nitinol Stone Extractors are intended for extraction of stones or debris during biliary surgical procedures.
Device Story
NCompass Nitinol Stone Extractor is a single-use, sterile, disposable device for biliary stone/debris retrieval. Device consists of a nitinol basket (12 or 16-wire bulb shape) and a 2.4 Fr shaft diameter sheath. Operated by a physician during biliary surgical procedures; device is deployed from the sheath into the anatomical duct to capture stones. Visualization is achieved via fluoroscopy (NC3 model) or choledochoscope imaging (NCT4 model). The device includes a handle and Touhy-Borst adapter. By facilitating mechanical stone extraction, the device assists in clearing biliary obstructions, potentially reducing patient complications associated with retained stones.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), dimensional/compatibility evaluation, radiopacity, multiple stone retrieval testing, and various tensile tests (basket formation, coil, sheath, and connection points) on accelerated aged samples. All pre-determined acceptance criteria were met.
Technological Characteristics
Nitinol (nickel-titanium alloy) basket; 12 or 16-wire bulb configuration. Sheath composed of braided stainless steel tubing coated with PTFE, FEP, and Polyimide. 2.4 Fr shaft diameter. Radiopaque markers (stainless steel on NC3 tip). Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Single-use. Mechanical actuation via handle.
Indications for Use
Indicated for extraction of stones or debris during biliary surgical procedures in patients requiring such intervention.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Colin Jacob:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good
