Intended Use

The Modified CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheters are indicated for use in adult and adolescent populations to endoscopically dilate strictures of the alimentary tract. The recommended application is printed on the package label.

Device Story

Balloon dilatation catheter used for endoscopic dilation of alimentary tract strictures. Device inserted endoscopically by physician; used to mechanically expand narrowed areas of the alimentary tract. Operates via inflation of balloon component to apply radial force to stricture. Used in clinical settings (e.g., endoscopy suites). Benefits patient by relieving strictures, potentially improving passage of food/contents through alimentary tract. Output is physical dilation of the target site.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Biocompatibility assessment performed on patient- and fluid-contact materials with satisfactory results.

Technological Characteristics

Balloon dilatation catheter. Materials: biocompatible polymers. Sterilization: ethylene oxide gas per AAMI protocol. Packaging: Tyvek-Mylar pouch. Non-electronic, mechanical device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult and adolescent populations requiring endoscopic dilation of alimentary tract strictures (esophageal, pyloric, or colonic).

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An esophageal dilator is a device that consists of a cylindrical instrument that may be hollow and weighted with mercury or a metal olive-shaped weight that slides on a guide, such as a string or wire and is used to dilate a stricture of the esophagus. This generic type of device includes esophageal or gastrointestinal bougies and the esophageal dilator (metal olive).

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). 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.

The recommended application is printed on the package label. ### CONTRAINDICATIONS None known. #### POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS Possible complications that may result from an alimentary tract procedure include, but may not be limited to; perforation; hemorrhage; hematoma; septicemia/infection; allergic reaction to contrast medium. {1}------------------------------------------------ 1974788 1202 ### DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Modified CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter is substannally equivalent to the current CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter and the Vector TTS™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter. #### PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Laboratory testing regarding characteristics was performed on the Modified CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter to verify its safety and performance. A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patientand fluid-contact materials of the Modified CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter with satisfactory results. #### PACKAGING, STERILIZATION, AND PYROGENICITY The Modified CRETM Balloon Dilation Cather will be packaged both sterile and non-sterile in a Tyvek-Mylar pouch. The Modified CRETM Balloon Dilatation Catheter, when sterilized, will be sterilized using ethylene oxide gas using the AAMI protocol for ethylene oxide sterilization. Because the Modified CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter will not normally contact blood, pyrogenicity testing will not be performed. ## CONCLUSION Boston Scientific Corporation believes that Modified CRETM Balloon Dilatation Cathere is substantially equivalent to the current CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter and the Vector TTSTM Balloon Dilatation Catheter. Boston Scientific Corporation has presented laboratory testing and biocompatibility information. The information presented provides assurance that the Modified CRE™ Balloon Dilatation Catheter will meet the minimum requirements that are considered acceptable for its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS) of the United States.
