Intended Use
The AutoCap RX Integrated Biopsy Cap and Guidewire Locking Device is intended to facilitate placement of the guidewire and lock it into place during ERCP procedures. The device access for endoscopic device passage and exchange, helps maintain insufflation, minimizes leakage of biomaterial from the biopsy port throughout the ERCP procedure, and provides access for irrigation.
Device Story
AutoCap RX is an integrated accessory for endoscopes used during ERCP procedures. It attaches to the endoscope biopsy port via a press-fit mechanism. The device features a plastic housing with molded slots to lock up to two guidewires and a silicone cap with a polyurethane foam insert. It functions to facilitate device passage, maintain insufflation, minimize biomaterial leakage, and provide irrigation access. Operated by clinicians in an endoscopic setting, the device simplifies workflow by combining locking and capping functions into a single unit. It benefits patients by ensuring stable guidewire positioning and maintaining the integrity of the endoscopic environment during complex procedures.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included scope attachment/detachment, biopsy cap bile leakage, insufflation ability, device passability, guidewire slippage, scope suction ability, and simulated use testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-1. Sterilization validation performed per ISO 11135. All testing passed and demonstrated performance comparable to the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Plastic housing; silicone biopsy cap; polyurethane foam insert. Attaches via press-fit to endoscope biopsy port. Features two molded guidewire locking slots. Compatible with Olympus ERCP scopes. Sterilized via ISO 11135. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993-1 (limited contact, mucosal membrane).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients undergoing ERCP procedures requiring guidewire placement, endoscopic device passage/exchange, insufflation maintenance, and biopsy port leakage minimization.

#### 4. Device Description
The AutoCap RX is an integrated biopsy cap and guidewire locking device that fits on the biopsy port of an endoscope. The device is an accessory to be used with endoscopic devices to facilitate device passage, maintain insufflation, and lock the guidewire(s) in place during ERCP procedures. The AutoCap RX combines the locking device and the biopsy cap of the predicate, RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610), into one integrated unit.
Materials and patient contact potential of the AutoCap RX components are provided below.
| Component | Material Name | Patient Contacting |
|-------------|-------------------|--------------------|
| Housing | Plastic | No |
| Biopsy Cap | Silicone | Yes-Indirect |
| Foam Insert | Polyurethane Foam | Yes-Indirect |
Testing was conducted per the requirements of 1SO 10993-1 based on the biocompatibility classification of the device (category: surface, contact duration: limited (<24 hours), and body contact: mucosal membrane). Testing performed per ISO 10993-1 confirmed that the AutoCap RX is biocompatible for its intended use.
### 5. Indications for Use:
The AutoCap RX Integrated Biopsy Cap and Guidewire Locking Device is intended to facilitate placement of the guidewire and lock it into place during ERCP procedures. The device also provides access for endoscopic device passage and exchange, helps maintain insufflation, minimizes leakage of biomaterial from the biopsy port throughout the ERCP procedure, and provides access for irrigation.
The AutoCap RX and the predicate, RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610), share the same intended use, to facilitate placement of the guidewire and lock it into place during ERCP procedures. Although the Indications for Use of the AutoCap RX specifically identify its use to maintain insufflation and minimize leakage of biomaterial, these are not new uses. Maintaining Insufflation and minimizing leakage of biomaterials are generally established performance requirements of a biopsy cap. The RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap was designed to meet these same performance capabilities per K010610.
### 6. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The device consists of a plastic housing that holds a silicone biopsy cap with a foam insert. The plastic housing has molded guidewire locking slots to hold up to two guidewires. The plastic housing fits directly onto the biopsy port of the endoscope. The AutoCap RX is compatible with Olympus ERCP scopes. The AutoCap RX is substantially s equivalent to the predicate, RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610), in terms of technological characteristics. Both have two guidewire locking slots and a silicone biopsy cap to facilitate device passage. Both devices attach to the scope via a press fit.
{6}------------------------------------------------
The AutoCap RX device combines the functionality of the RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610) into an integrated unit allowing for a single attachment mechanism. The AutoCap RX secures directly around the scope and the housing will sit flush with the scope port.
Both the AutoCap RX and the RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610) incorporate a silicone cap with a foam insert to minimize leakage of fluid and air while allowing for device exchange. The AutoCap RX incorporates additional molded silicone features within the cap to minimize leakage of fluid and air while allowing for device passage during endoscopic procedures.
Comparative bench testing confirms the ability of both AutoCap RX and predicate RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610) to meet its intended use. The AutoCap RX is substantially equivalent to the predicate, RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610), in terms of performance and technological characteristics.
### 7. Performance Data
Non-clinical performance bench testing, simulated use testing, biocompatibility per the requirements of ISO 10993, packaging, and sterilization validation per the requirements of ISO 11135 were completed to evaluate the design of the AutoCap RX for its indications for use.
Bench Testing included:
- . Scope Attachment and detachment
- Biopsy Cap Bile Leakage ●
- Insufflation Ability ●
- Device Passability
- . Guidewire Slippage
- . Scope Suction Ability
- . Simulated Use testing
All testing was passing and demonstrates the device's ability to fulfill non-clinical performance bench testing, biocompatibility, packaging, and sterilization requirements. The results of the predicate device are also included in the performance section and are comparable to the proposed device.
Both the AutoCap RX and the predicate RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610) are provided sterile with a labeled shelf life. Aging testing on both the packaging and device confirm performance over the labeled shelf life.
#### Conclusion
The information provided in this submission demonstrates that the proposed AutoCap RX is substantially equivalent to the RX Locking Device and Biopsy Cap (K010610).
