Intended Use

The ClearPath-UGI System is intended for irrigating or cleaning the upper digestive tract and evacuating the irrigation fluid, blood and bile in the upper GI tract during endoscopic procedures. It is for use only by trained medical personnel located in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices.

Device Story

ClearPath UGI is a gastroscope accessory designed to improve procedural visualization. The system consists of a disposable irrigator head and a reusable control cabinet. The irrigator attaches to a standard endoscope via silicone bands. The control cabinet utilizes a peristaltic pump to manage water flow and vacuum pressure, drawing from the facility's standard medical vacuum system. Operated by trained medical personnel in clinical settings, the device enables irrigation and evacuation of fluids, blood, and bile from the upper GI tract. It does not interfere with endoscope functionality. The device benefits patients by maintaining a clear visual field during endoscopic procedures, potentially increasing reliability and efficiency.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing demonstrated that the operating performance of the ClearPath UGI is equivalent to the predicate for flow rate (up to 300 ml/min), irrigation pressure (up to 30 psi), and suction pressure (approximately 0.5 Bar).

Technological Characteristics

System comprises a disposable irrigator and reusable control cabinet. Materials in patient contact are identical to predicate K091305. Peristaltic pump provides irrigation; facility wall suction provides vacuum. Connectivity is standalone. No software modifications were made.

Indications for Use

Indicated for individuals undergoing endoscopic procedures requiring irrigation or cleaning of the upper digestive tract and evacuation of fluids, blood, or bile. For use by trained medical personnel in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices.

Regulatory Classification

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. Examples of devices that are within this generic type of device include cleaning accessories for endoscopes, photographic accessories for endoscopes, nonpowered anoscopes, binolcular attachments for endoscopes, pocket battery boxes, flexible or rigid choledochoscopes, colonoscopes, diagnostic cystoscopes, cystourethroscopes, enteroscopes, esophagogastroduodenoscopes, rigid esophagoscopes, fiberoptic illuminators for endoscopes, incandescent endoscope lamps, biliary pancreatoscopes, proctoscopes, resectoscopes, nephroscopes, sigmoidoscopes, ureteroscopes, urethroscopes, endomagnetic retrievers, cytology brushes for endoscopes, and lubricating jelly for transurethral surgical instruments. This section does not apply to endoscopes that have specialized uses in other medical specialty areas and that are covered by classification regulations in other parts of the device classification regulations.

Special Controls

*Classification* —(1)*Class II (special controls).* The device, when it is an endoscope disinfectant basin, which consists solely of a container that holds disinfectant and endoscopes and accessories; an endoscopic magnetic retriever intended for single use; sterile scissors for cystoscope intended for single use; a disposable, non-powered endoscopic grasping/cutting instrument intended for single use; a diagnostic incandescent light source; a fiberoptic photographic light source; a routine fiberoptic light source; an endoscopic sponge carrier; a xenon arc endoscope light source; an endoscope transformer; an LED light source; or a gastroenterology-urology endoscopic guidewire, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.(2) Class I for the photographic accessories for endoscope, miscellaneous bulb adapter for endoscope, binocular attachment for endoscope, eyepiece attachment for prescription lens, teaching attachment, inflation bulb, measuring device for panendoscope, photographic equipment for physiologic function monitor, special lens instrument for endoscope, smoke removal tube, rechargeable battery box, pocket battery box, bite block for endoscope, and cleaning brush for endoscope. The devices subject to this paragraph (b)(2) are exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807of this chapter, subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

The ClearPath UGI utilizes a suction / irrigation head for the purpose of irrigating or cleaning the upper digestive tract. The ClearPath UGI is composed of two major units: - . The disposable Irrigator and - . the reusable Control cabinet. The disposable Irrigator is attached to a standard endoscope by means of silicone bands and does not hinder the endoscope's functionality nor affects the procedure sequence in any way. The Control cabinet supplies the water flow and vacuum control using a peristaltic pump. The standard medical facility vacuum system is the vacuum source. ### Indications for Use: The ClearPath-UGI System is intended for irrigating or cleaning the upper digestive tract and evacuating the irrigation fluid, blood and bile in the upper GI tract during endoscopic procedures. It is for use only by trained medical personnel located in hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices. # 510(k) Summary {1}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 of 2 7-Dec-09 **Patient Population:** Individuals undergoing procedures where a gastroscope is used. ### Environment of Use: Hospitals, clinics, and doctors' offices. ### Summary of substantial equivalence: We have performed testing to demonstrate that the operating performance of the ClearPath UGI is equivalent to the predicate for flow rate, irrigation and vacuum pressures. | | Proposed<br>ClearPath UGI | ClearPath<br>EasyGlide | |----------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------| | 510(k) number | | K091305 | | Air / Water pressure<br>specifications | Up to 30 Psi | Up to 30 Psi | | Flow rate | Up to 300 ml/min | Up to 300 ml/min | | Suction<br>specifications | Standard wall suction<br>Approximately 0.5 Bar | Standard wall suction<br>Approximately 0.5 Bar | The proposed ClearPath UGI is only a modification of the predicate ClearPath in that the disposable tubing set is shorter in length and the irrigation tip has been redesigned.
