Intended Use
This device is used for cannulation of the ductal system and for sphincterotomy. If preloaded, the device also aids in bridging difficult strictures during ERCP. Also indicated for sphincterotome-aided, wire-quided selective cannulation of the biliary ducts. Tesla BiCord Active Cord: This device is used to connect the Teslatome Bipolar Sphincterotome to compatible electrosurgical generators.
Device Story
Teslatome Bipolar Sphincterotome is an endoscopic accessory used during ERCP; consists of three-ring handle, tri-lumen catheter, and cutting wire. Device passes through duodenoscope to access biliary tract; distal tip positions at major papilla for cannulation. Electrosurgical current, delivered via Tesla BiCord Active Cord from compatible generator, applied to cutting wire to perform sphincterotomy. Multi-lumen design allows contrast injection and passage over pre-positioned wire guide. Used by gastroenterologists in clinical settings. Output is incision of papilla; facilitates biliary access and stricture management. Benefits include improved procedural access and therapeutic intervention capabilities.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included seal strength, functional testing after simulated distribution, current carrying capacity, device burnout, neutral electrode thermal performance, and force of device pushability.
Technological Characteristics

Dear Lindsey Ebke:
We have reviewed your section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

| Device Description Summary | 21 CFR 807.92(a)(4) |
|----------------------------|---------------------|
|----------------------------|---------------------|
ln a sphincterotomy, access to the biliary tract is gained by passing a sphincterotome through a duodenoscope and positioning the distal tip adjacent to the major papilla is cannulated using the tip of the sphincterotome. The papilla is then incised using an electrosurgical current applied to the cutting wire by an electrosurgical generator that is connected to the sphincterotome by an active cord.
The Teslatome consists of a three-ring handle, tri-lumen catheter, and cutting wire with a connection to an electrosurgical generator via the Tesla BiCord active cord. The connection delivers a current to the cutting wire that is exposed at the device. A multilumen catheter allows for the injection of contrast and/or the passage over a prepositioned wire guide using the proximal end of the device.

## Intended Use/Indications for Use
This device is used for cannulation of the ductal system and for sphincterotomy. If preloaded, the device also in bridging difficult strictures during ERCP. Also indicated for sphincterotome-aided selective cannulation of the biliary ducts.
Tesla BiCord Active Cord:
This device is used to connect the Teslatome Bipolar Sphincterotome to compatible electrosurgical generators.
### Indications for Use Comparison
The intended uses for the subject devices were updated to improve clarity and readability. The subject and predicate intended uses are functionally identical, and the change does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The Teslatome Bipolar Sphincterotome and BiCord active cord have the same technological characteristics of the predicate devices K192339.
## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
The non-clinical tests for seal strength, functional testing after simulated distribution, current carrying capacity, device burnout, neutral electrode thermal performance, and force of device pushability demonstrate adherence to the quality design and risk management systems of the manufacturer. The Teslatome and BiCord active cord are substantially equivalent to the currently cleared predicate devices.
