It features a flexible shaft (111 cm length, 5.5 mm diameter) with distal stainless steel jaws and a polycarbonate handle. The device includes a central lumen to accommodate the g-Cath Tissue Anchor Delivery Catheter and other small-diameter instruments. A unique feature is a suture-cutting component integrated into the jaw, allowing the user to cut g-Cath anchor suture tails during procedures. Operated by a clinician during minimally invasive endoscopic interventions, the device provides mechanical tissue manipulation. It is used to assist in the placement and management of tissue anchors. The device is substantially equivalent to the predicate g-Prox Endoscopic Grasper, with modifications limited to the handle material and the addition of the suture-cutting feature. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Performance was demonstrated through non-clinical bench testing, including device integrity testing (bond joint strength), functionality testing, and in vivo simulated use testing. Human factors considerations were incorporated into the design process. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Polycarbonate handle, medical-grade polymer shaft, stainless steel jaws. Dimensions: 111 cm working length, 5.5 mm outer diameter. Principle: Mechanical endoscopic grasper with integrated lumen for catheter delivery and suture-cutting mechanism. Sterilization: Sterile, single-patient use. ## Regulatory Identification An endoscope and accessories is a device used to provide access, illumination, and allow observation or manipulation of body cavities, hollow organs, and canals. The device consists of various rigid or flexible instruments that are inserted into body spaces and may include an optical system for conveying an image to the user's eye and their accessories may assist in gaining access or increase the versatility and augment the capabilities of the devices.

The g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is a sterile, single patient use device used for tissue grasping and mobilization. It is available in two jaw lengths. It includes a lumen that can accept the g-Cath Tissue Anchor Delivery Catheter and other small diameter instruments. It is comprised of a polycarbonate proximal handle, flexible shaft made of medical grade polymers and distal {1}------------------------------------------------ K103688 Page 2/2 stainless steel jaws. It has a nominal working length and outer diameter of 111 cm and 5.5 mm, respectively. #### న్. STATEMENT OF INTENDED USE The g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is intended for use in minimally invasive procedures to facilitate tissue grasping and mobilization. #### 6. COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICES The g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is comparable to the predicate device in terms of intended use, technology, and materials. The shaft and distal jaw materials are identical to those used in the predicate device and are provided in the same sizes. The g-Prox EZ device handle is made of polycarbonate instead of Delrin. Both the g-Prox EZ and the predicate device have the identical intended use and principals of operation. Both the g-Prox EZ and the predicate device include a lumen that can accept the g-Cath Tissue Anchor Delivery Catheter and other small diameter instruments. The g-Prox EZ includes a suture cutting component in the jaw to allow the user to cut the g-Cath anchor suture tail with the g-Prox EZ. #### 7. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE DATA Design control activities for the described modifications were completed in accordance with 21CFR 820.30 and USGI Medical documented design control procedures. Human factors considerations were also incorporated into the device modifications. Risk analysis was performed in accordance with USGI Medical procedures to identify any risks associated with the modifications. Non-clinical performance testing was conducted to ensure that the device performs as intended when used in accordance with its instructions for use and to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device. Testing focused on those performance features related to the modifications and included device integrity testing (i.e., bond joint strength), functionality and in vivo simulated use testing. Test data confirmed that the modified g-Prox EZ device demonstrated equivalent safety and performance to the predicate device. In conclusion, non-clinical performance data demonstrate that the g-Prox EZ Endoscopic Grasper is as safe, effective and performs as well as the g-Prox predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ ## DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
