Indications for Use
The PillCam Patency System is an accessory to the PillCam video capsule and is intended to verify adequate patency of the gastrointestinal tract prior to administration of the PillCam video capsule in patients with known or suspected strictures. The PillCam Patency capsule should only be used within the specified patient age range based on the patient age of the indicated video capsule system. Therefore, the PillCam Patency System is intended to be used: - prior to PillCam SB capsule in adults and children from 2 years of age, or - prior to PillCam UGI, COLON, and Crohn's capsules in adults
Device Story
PillCam Patency System verifies GI tract patency before video capsule endoscopy. System includes ingestible dissolvable Patency capsule containing RFID tag, Patency scanner, and TesTag interference tester. Capsule body features timer plugs; if retained, plugs erode, allowing fluid ingress and body dissolution to facilitate passage of fragments. Scanner detects RFID signal to confirm capsule presence. Used in clinical settings by physicians to assess patient suitability for capsule endoscopy, serving as alternative to MRE or CT. Confirmed patency allows safe administration of PillCam video capsules. Benefits include reduced risk of capsule retention in patients with strictures.
Clinical Evidence
Leveraged clinical data from K053639; patients with known strictures ingested Patency capsule with no cases of retention. Literature review confirms high diagnostic sensitivity/specificity and reduced risk of capsule retention. Three additional clinical investigations support use of Patency System prior to longer PillCam capsules with no safety concerns.
Technological Characteristics
Ingestible dissolvable capsule containing RFID tag; body coated with impermeable membrane; timer plugs seal body. Scanner detects RF signals. No change from predicate K090557.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with known or suspected GI strictures requiring patency verification before PillCam video capsule administration. Use prior to PillCam SB in adults and children ≥2 years; use prior to PillCam UGI, COLON, and Crohn's capsules in adults.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An ingestible telemetric gastrointestinal capsule imaging system is used for visualization of the small bowel mucosa as an adjunctive tool in the detection of abnormalities of the small bowel. The device captures images of the small bowel with a wireless camera contained in a capsule. This device includes an ingestible capsule (containing a light source, camera, transmitter, and battery), an antenna array, a receiving/recording unit, a data storage device, computer software to process the images, and accessories.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control is FDA's guidance, “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Ingestible Telemetric Gastrointestinal Capsule Imaging Systems; Final Guidance for Industry and FDA.”

#### III. PREDICATE DEVICE(S)
Given AGILE Patency System and Given Platform with PillCam SB Capsules (K090557)
### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
There is no change between the Predicate device (K090557) and PillCam Patency System.
The PillCam Patency System is an accessory to the PillCam capsule endoscopy (CE) System and it is used for verifying the patency of the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The PillCam Patency System consists of the following components; The PillCam Patency capsule, the Patency scanner and TesTag (interference tester).
The Patency capsule is an ingestible and dissolvable capsule, similar in size to the PillCam CE. It is comprised of a body that surrounds a small Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag. The body is coated with an impermeable membrane, except for two small windows that are plugged by the Timer Plugs. The Timer plugs seal the capsule's body. If the Patency capsule is excreted structurally whole, then this confirms patency of the GI tract of the patient for objects similar in size to the capsule. However, if the capsule is retained in the GI tract, the Timer Plugs erode, allowing the penetration of body fluids into the capsule and the dissolution of the capsule's body. The remaining fragments of the capsule can pass even small orifices.
The Patency scanner may be utilized to detect RF signals from the RFID tag, to verify the PillCam Patency capsule presence in the body.
The only difference between the PillCam Patency System and the predicate device is the proposed labeling modification, to allow the use of the existing Patency capsule with the PillCam capsules that are slightly longer (PillCam COLON, Crohn's and UGI capsules). The intention of the proposed change is to offer physicians a clinical tool to evaluate the suitability of patients for CE, as an alternative to magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) or Computed Tomography (CT) which are already used in practice for this purpose.

Patency capsule should only be used within the specified patient age range based on the patient age of the indicated video capsule system. K180171 Page 3 of 4
Therefore, the PillCam Patency System is intended to be used:
- prior to PillCam SB capsule in adults and children from 2 years of age, or
- prior to PillCam UGI, COLON, and Crohn's capsules in adults ●
# VI. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACHTERISTICS:
There is no change in the technological characteristics of PillCam Patency System from the cleared predicate device (K090557).
## VII. PERFORMANCE DATA:
The PillCam Patency capsule is designed to start dissolving after 30 hours. Clinical testing provided in K053639 was leveraged in this submission. In this testing, patients with known strictures ingested the Patency capsule and underwent periodic scanning until the capsule was excreted. If patency was established, capsule endoscopy procedure was performed. The results of this testing showed there were no cases of capsule retention.
## Clinical Evaluation
Many studies in the literature have shown that the PillCam Patency System has high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity and that the use of a PillCam Patency System reduces risk of PillCam CE retention.
In addition, three clinical investigations demonstrate the use of Patency System prior to ingestion of longer PillCam capsules with no safety concern raised.
Key opinion leaders (KOL) in the Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) community have advised, based on their clinical experience, that it is the diameter, and not the length, which is critical for capsule passage through the GI tract. The length is not expected to represent an impediment to passage of the capsule.
The proposed change in this submission does not raise new performance or safety issues.
