Device features retractable needle design with double-lumen catheter. Operated by physician via bronchoscope. Provides tissue/cytology samples for diagnostic evaluation. Benefits patient by enabling biopsy of lesions inaccessible to standard forceps. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Biocompatibility assessment performed on patient- and fluid-contact materials with satisfactory results. No clinical data presented. ## Technological Characteristics Double-lumen catheter, retractable needle design. Dimensions: 150cm length, 1.8mm OD, 18/19/21 gauge needles. Sterilized via ethylene oxide gas per AAMI protocol. Packaged in pouch. Pyrogenicity testing performed periodically. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - Boston Scientific TBAN ([K840033](/device/K840033.md)) - Mill-Rose Transbronchial Aspiration Needle ([K914181](/device/K914181.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Natick, MA 01760 - CONTACT PERSON: Lisa M. Quaglia, Regulatory Affairs Specialist # INDICATIONS FOR USE The Transbronchial Aspiration Needle is indicated for use in aspiration in carinal, paratracheal, hilar, and peripheral lesions of the bronchial tree where biopsy forceps cannot obtain a submucosal sample. # CONTRAINDICATIONS There are no known contraindications with this device. # POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS Possible complications include, but may not be limited to, inadvertent perforation of the bronchial tree. Premarket Notification, Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle, August 16, 1996 {1} Premarket Notification, Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle, August 16, 1996 # DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Boston Scientific’s TBAN and Mill Rose’s Transbronchial Aspiration Needles. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products. # PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Laboratory testing regarding characteristics was performed Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle to verify its safety and performance. A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle with satisfactory results. # PACKAGING, STERILIZATION, AND PYROGENICITY The Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle will be packaged in a pouch. The Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle will be sterilized using ethylene oxide gas using the AAMI protocol for ethylene oxide sterilization. Pyrogenicity testing will be performed on a periodic basis to monitor bacterial endotoxin levels. # CONCLUSION Boston Scientific Corporation believes that its Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Boston Scientific Transbronchial Aspiration Needle and the Mill-Rose Transbronchial Aspiration Needle. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products. As demonstrated in Figure 9-1, the Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle is equivalent in its indications for use, while being very similar in design and materials. In addition, Boston Scientific Corporation has presented laboratory testing and biocompatibility information. The information presented provides assurance that the Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle will meet the minimum requirements that are considered acceptable for its intended use. {2} FIGURE 9-1: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MODIFIED TRANSBRONCHIAL ASPIRATION NEEDLE, BOSTON SCIENTIFIC'S TBAN, AND MILL-ROSE'S TRANSBRONCHIAL ASPIRATION NEEDLE | | Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle (This 510(k)) | Boston Scientific's TBAN (K840033) | Mill-Rose's Transbronchial Aspiration Needle (K914181) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | USE | | | | | Indication | Aspiration in carinal, hilar, paratracheal, and peripheral lesions | Aspriation | Aspiration for cytology/histology | | Route of Administration | Bronchoscope | Bronchoscope | Bronchoscope | | DESIGN FEATURES | | | | | Cross Section | Double Lumen | Double Lumen | Single or double Lumen | | Retractable Needle | Yes | Yes | Yes | | DIMENSIONS | | | | | Catheter Length (cm) | 150 | 150 | 140 | | Outer Catheter OD | 1.8 | 1.8 | 1.8 | | Needle Size (Ga) | 18, 19, & 21 | 18 & 21 | 19 - 22 | | Needle Length (mm) | 14 & 20 | 13 & 20 | 13 & 15 | Premarket Notification, Modified Transbronchial Aspiration Needle, August 16, 1996 --- **Source:** [https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/EN/subpart-e%E2%80%94surgical-devices/EOQ/K963252](https://fda.innolitics.com/submissions/EN/subpart-e%E2%80%94surgical-devices/EOQ/K963252) **Published by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com)** — a medical-device software consultancy.
