Intended Use
The pH System is intended to record, store, view and analyze esophageal and gastric pH data to diagnose reflux disorders. The pH System can also be used to locate the position of the proximal Lower EsopHageal Sphincter (LES) manometrically, to assist in the accurate placement of the pH catheter.
Device Story
pH Testing System consists of Digitrapper Delta recording device and Polygram '98 pH Extension software on a general-purpose PC. Technician intubates patient with pH catheter; device records physiological data during normal daily activity. Data transferred via IrDA 1.1 to PC for analysis. Software marks refluxes; calculates metrics including DeMeester score and Boix-Ochoa scoring method. Physician reviews hardcopy reports to assist in reflux disorder diagnosis. System also performs manometric LES localization to guide catheter placement. Benefits include improved diagnostic capability for reflux disorders through automated data analysis and enhanced LES positioning.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Verification results confirm the enhanced system performs as the predicate system. No clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
System includes Digitrapper Delta recorder and PC-based software. Features 12-bit resolution, adjustable gain, 4Mb Flash RAM, and IrDA 1.1 connectivity. Powered by 2 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries. Complies with IEC 60601-1, UL 2601-1, CAN/CSA-22.2 No 601.1-M90, JIST 1001, and AS/NZS 3200-1-0. Catheters are biocompatible; accessories supplied non-sterile.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric to adult patients requiring esophageal and gastric pH data acquisition and analysis for the diagnosis of reflux disorders, and for manometric localization of the proximal Lower Esophageal Sphincter (LES) to assist in pH catheter placement.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A gastrointestinal motility monitoring system is a device used to measure peristalic activity or pressure in the stomach or esophagus by means of a probe with transducers that is introduced through the mouth into the gastrointestinal tract. The device may include signal conditioning, amplifying, and recording equipment. This generic type of device includes the esophageal motility monitor and tube, the gastrointestinal motility (electrical) system, and certain accessories, such as a pressure transducer, amplifier, and external recorder.

## 3. Predicate Device Identification:
The functionality and intended use of the pH Testing System is equivalent to Medtronic Synectics Digitrapper MK III (K913387) with Polygram for Windows, Base Module (K946322) and EsopHogram reflux Analysis (K961346).
{1}------------------------------------------------
#### 4. Device Description:
The pH Testing System consists of a general purpose PC running the pH Application software namned EsopHogram '98, a recording device namned Digitrapper Delta and catheters appropriate for the study to be performed. The illustration below shows the various components.
Image /page/1/Figure/3 description: The image shows a pH system with several components. A host PC with platform and pH extension software is connected via an IrDA 1.1 connection to a Delta Device with embedded software. Two catheters are connected to the Delta Device. The image provides a schematic representation of the pH system setup.
The general process for use of the system occurs in two parts. In the first part, physiological data is collected by the Delta. This is done by a technician intubating a patient with the appropriate catheter(s), connect the catheter(s) to a Digitrapper Delta, turning on the recording, and allowing the patient to proceed with their normal life. At the prescribed time, the patient returns to the technician who removes the equipment from the patient.
Following that, the technician transfers the recorded data in the Digitrapper Delta to the PC where the pH Extension software is used to analyze it. This analysis includes marking refluxes in the data traces and calculating a variety a measurements such as DeMeester score and the Boix-Ochoa scoring method. Hardcopies can be printed of the raw data as well as tailored reports.
Results of the analysis are then used by a doctor to help make a diagnosis
#### 5. Intended Use:
The pH System is intended to record, store, view and analyze esophageal and gastric pH data to diagnose reflux disorders. The pH System can also be used to locate the position of the proximal Lower EsopHageal Sphincter (LES) manometrically, to assist in the accurate placement of the pH catheter.
