In-vitro testing demonstrated that the device meets performance specifications. Electrical safety testing was performed. ## Technological Characteristics Triple lumen catheter; 7 to 4.5F tapered distal tip; 190cm working length; accepts .035" guidewire; multi-directional tip control mechanism; radiopaque tip; electrosurgical cutting wire; handle assembly. Biocompatible materials used. ## Regulatory Identification An endoscopic electrosurgical unit and accessories is a device used to perform electrosurgical procedures through an endoscope. This generic type of device includes the electrosurgical generator, patient plate, electric biopsy forceps, electrode, flexible snare, electrosurgical alarm system, electrosurgical power supply unit, electrical clamp, self-opening rigid snare, flexible suction coagulator electrode, patient return wristlet, contact jelly, adaptor to the cord for transurethral surgical instruments, the electric cord for transurethral surgical instruments, and the transurethral desiccator. ## Predicate Devices - Bard Apollo Papillotome ([K982557](/device/K982557.md)) - Boston Scientific Corporation Autotome ([K013153](/device/K013153.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Sponsor Name Sponsor/Manufacturer ConMed Endoscopic Technologies 129 Concord Rd Billerica, MA 01821 Telephone: 978 964 4251 Contact Individual: Beth Zis rina CDPH DMC MAY - 5 2008 000 2002 #### 2. Device Name Proprietary Name: ConMed Axcess Papillotome Common/Usual Name: Papillotome ### 3. Identification of Predicate or Legally Marketed Device The Axcess Papillotome is substantially equivalent to the following devices: - Bard Apollo Papillotome cleared under K982557 . - Boston Scientific Corporation Autotome cleared under K013153 . #### 4. Device Description The ConMed Axcess Papillotome is a multi-directional wire-guided tapered radiopaque tip catheter capable of accepting a .035" (.889 mm) guidewire. The Axcess Papillotome is a triple lumen device tapered from 7 to 4.5F over the distal 5mm. It has a 5mm tip and distal flexible section running from the proximal to the distal end of the cutting wire that allows multi-directional control of the device distal tip. The working length is 190cm. - 5. Intended Use The Axcess Papillotome is designed and recommended for transendoscopic cannulation and sphincterotomy of the Papilla of Vater and/or the Sphincter of Oddi. - Comparison of Technological Characteristics 6. The Axcess Papillotome and the predicates have similar design characteristics. They both have construction which consists of a handle, triple lumen shaft, a {1}------------------------------------------------ 2800446 ### ConMed Endoscopic Technologies Axcess Papillotome Premarket Notification cutting wire, and a precurved radiopaque tip. The device lengths and wire diameters are comparable. The materials of construction are different but the materials used are widely used in medical devices and tested to be biocompatible. The Axcess Papillotome is multidirectional whereas the Apollo Papillotome is not, however the BSC Autotome is a multidirectional Papillotome. - 7. Performance Testing The Axcess Papillotome meets electrical safety standards. In addition, in-vitro testing was conducted which demonstrated that the device meets its performance specifications. - 8. Statement of Equivalency The Axcess Papillotome is substantially equivalent in design, materials, construction and intended use as that of the predicate. The principal of operation of both devices are exactly the same. Since the Axcess Papillotome has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device, the Axcess Papillotome does not raise any new safety and efficacy concerns when compared to the similar legally marketed device. {2}------------------------------------------------ ### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
