Intended Use
The Padlock Clip™ is indicated for use in flexible Endoscopy and for the compression of tissue in the gastrointestinal tract, for hemostasis or for treating lesions of the gastrointestinal organs. The Padlock Clip™ is indicated for clip placement within the gastrointestinal (GI) tract for the purpose of: - Endoscopic marking of lesions - Hemostasis for: o Mucosal/Submucosal defects o Bleeding Ulcers o Arteries <2mm o Polyps <1.5cm in diameter o Diverticula in the Colon - Closure of GI tract luminal perforations <20mm that can be treated conservatively
Device Story
Padlock Clip is a single-use, radiopaque ligation clip for tissue approximation in the GI tract. Device mounts on the distal tip of a flexible endoscope; features a central 'tissue chamber' to pull target tissue into position. Deployment occurs via an independent hand control with a linking cable routed outside the endoscopic accessory channel. Compatible with endoscopes having distal tip diameters of 9.5mm to 14mm. Used by physicians during endoscopic procedures to achieve hemostasis or close perforations. Benefits include effective tissue approximation and defect closure. Modification involves alternate suppliers for stainless steel, PTFE-coated stainless steel, and black fluorocarbon components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification activities included biocompatibility testing (ISO 10993-5, -10, -11) and functional performance testing (deployment, defect securing, tensile/compressive strength). All tests met acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Clip: superelastic shape memory alloy (Nitinol). Housing: Polypropylene. Components: Type 304, 302, 303, and 18-2 stainless steel; black fluorocarbon. Delivery system: flexible, endoscope-mounted with external hand control. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing flexible endoscopy requiring tissue compression in the GI tract for hemostasis or lesion treatment. Specific applications include endoscopic marking, hemostasis for mucosal/submucosal defects, bleeding ulcers, arteries <2mm, polyps <1.5cm, colonic diverticula, and closure of GI luminal perforations <20mm.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A hemorrhoidal ligator is a device used to cut off the blood flow to hemorrhoidal tissue by means of a ligature or band placed around the hemorrhoid.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). Except for a hemostatic metal clip intended for use in the gastrointestinal tract, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Tony Piotrkowski:
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.
{1}------------------------------------------------
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 manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
