The mcompass Biofeedback Anorectal Manometry System is for use on patients requiring anorectal pressure studies and biofeedback therapy.
Device Story
System measures anorectal pressures; provides visual biofeedback to patient for pelvic floor muscle reeducation. Components: non-sterile disposable 2-channel or 5-channel catheter; reusable RMD FOB (handheld transmitter); tablet PC with software. Procedure: catheter inserted into anus/rectum; air-charged balloons measure contractile pressures and simulate bowel fullness; locational pressure measured at distal tip. Catheter connects to RMD FOB; data transmitted wirelessly to tablet PC. Software collects, records, and displays real-time pressure data. Used in clinical settings by healthcare providers. Visual feedback allows patients to modulate muscle activity; aids in treating anorectal dysfunction.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Includes biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, -10, -11), mechanical testing (physical characteristics, system leak pressure, burst pressure), electrical safety, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Software verification and validation conducted per FDA guidance.
Technological Characteristics
Air-charged (air-filled) measurement balloons; urethane rectal balloon. 2-channel or 5-channel disposable catheter. Wireless transmission via RMD FOB to tablet PC. Non-sterile, single-use. Biocompatibility per ISO 10993. Electrical safety and EMC compliance.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring anorectal pressure studies and biofeedback therapy for pelvic floor muscle reeducation.
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.

| Regulatory Class: | II |
| Product Code: | KLA, HCC |
| Predicate Device: | mcompass Anorectal Manometry System (K120088)<br>This device has not been subject to a design-related recall. |
| Device Description: | The mcompass Biofeedback Anorectal Manometry System is a<br>manometry system for the measurement of anorectal<br>pressures. It provides visual feedback (biofeedback) of the<br>muscle action allowing the patient to modulate the activity of<br>the anorectal muscles, thereby reeducating the pelvic floor<br>muscles. It is used in a clinical setting and consists of a non-<br>sterile disposable catheter (2-channel or 5-channel), a<br>previously cleared reusable RMD FOB (and related battery<br>charger), and software that resides on a tablet PC and that<br>collects, records and displays the pressure data.<br>Air-charged balloons are used to measure contractile pressures<br>of the anorectal canal and simulate a range of bowel fullness<br>levels, in addition to measuring locational pressure at the<br>distal tip of the catheter. During the clinical procedure, the<br>distal end of the catheter is inserted in the anus/rectum of the<br>patient. The proximal end of the catheter is connected via an<br>integrated cable to the handheld RMD FOB which transmits<br>real-time pressure data wirelessly to the mcompass software<br>on the PC |
| Indications for Use: | The mcompass Biofeedback Anorectal Manometry System is |
| | for use on patients requiring anorectal pressure studies and |
| | biofeedback therapy. |
| Comparison of the<br>Technological<br>Characteristics with<br>the Predicate<br>Device: | The subject device is identical to the predicate device in the<br>following ways:<br>• Each of the devices is intended to measure anorectal<br>pressures.<br>• Each of the devices has separate channels for measuring<br>anal canal pressures and distal rectal pressures.<br>• Each of the devices uses air-charged (i.e. air-filled)<br>measurement balloons.<br>• Each of the devices has a urethane rectal balloon that is<br>filled with air and measures distal rectal locational<br>pressure.<br>• Each of the devices has markings to indicate catheter<br>insertion depth.<br>• Each of the devices is sold non-sterile.<br>• Each of the devices is a single use device (not to be<br>sterilized or reused). |
| | The following technological differences exist between the<br>subject device and the predicate device:<br>• Configuration of the measurement balloons<br>• Rectal balloon positioning<br>• Working length<br>• Biofeedback User software |
| Performance Data: | Biocompatibility |
| | The catheter is considered surface contacting (mucosal<br>membranes) for a duration of less than 24 hours (limited<br>exposure) and meets the following:<br>• Cytotoxicity (Elution Test) per ISO 10993-5<br>• Systemic Toxicity per ISO 10993-11<br>• Intracutaneous Injection Test (Irritation) per ISO 10993-<br>10<br>• Kligman Maximization Test (Sensitivity) per ISO 10993-<br>10<br>• Neutral Red Uptake Cytotoxicity Test per ISO 10993-5<br>Mechanical Testing |
| | • Physical characteristics<br> |
| | • System leak pressure<br> |
| | • Burst pressure |
| | Electrical safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility<br>(EMC)<br>The electrical components of the mcompass Biofeedback<br>Anorectal Manometry System meet the current standards for<br>electrical safety and EMC. |
| | Software Verification and Validation Testing<br>Software verification and validation testing were conducted<br>and documentation was provided as recommended by FDA's<br>Guidance for Industry and Staff, "Guidance for the Content of<br>Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical<br>Devices" (May 2005). |
| Conclusion: | The information submitted in this premarket notification<br>demonstrates that the mcompass Biofeedback Anorectal<br>Manometry System performs as intended in the specified use<br>conditions and supports the determination that the device is<br>substantially equivalent in principles of operation, technology,<br>materials and indications for use to the predicate device listed<br>above. |
