Intended Use
Bard papillotomes are designed and recommended for transendoscopic cannulation and sphincterotomy of the Papilla of Vater and/or Sphincter of Oddi.
Device Story
The Bard ProForma and Apollo3 Papillotomes are endoscopic electrosurgical accessories used for cannulation and sphincterotomy of the Papilla of Vater or Sphincter of Oddi. The device is inserted through the biopsy channel of a side-viewing duodenoscope, with or without fluoroscopic guidance. It features a handle, double or triple lumen shafts, and a precurved tip with a cutting wire. A diathermic current is applied through the wire to perform the incision. The device is operated by a physician (biliary endoscopist) in a clinical setting. The output is a controlled incision of the sphincter, facilitating therapeutic biliary or pancreatic procedures. The ergonomic handle is constructed from ABS plastic, and the device is compatible with 0.035-inch guidewires.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including bow orientation, joint integrity, radiopacity, electrical safety, and biocompatibility testing.
Technological Characteristics
Device consists of a handle, double or triple lumen shafts, and a cutting wire. Handle material is ABS. Tips are precurved, beveled, or tapered (8mm to 20mm lengths). Compatible with 0.035-inch guidewires. Operates via diathermic current. No software or electronic processing components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for transendoscopic cannulation and sphincterotomy of the Papilla of Vater and/or Sphincter of Oddi in patients requiring biliary or pancreatic duct access.

- Predicate Device: Wiltek Papillotome Wiltek Medical, Inc.
- .. Description and Intended Use of Device:
The Bard® ProForma™ and Apollo3™ Papillotomes are designed and recommended for transendoscopic cannulation and sphincterotomy of the Papilla of Vater and/or Sphincter of Oddi. A papillotome is placed under direct vision of a side-viewing duodenoscope, with or without fluoroscopic aid. Both the double lumen and triple lumen designs will have a variety of precurved tip configurations and cutting wire lengths. The Bard papillotomes are compatible with a 0.035 inch O.D. guidewire.
## B. Summary of Similarities and Differences
The Bard® ProForma™ and Apollo3™ Papillotomes are substantially equivalent to the following legally marketed papillotomes manufactured by Wiltek Medical, Inc. (K894861) and commercialized under the trade names of:
- Accuratome3 *, Accuratome" , and Double Lumen * Papillotome .
#### Similarities
The Bard" ProForma™ and Apollo3™ Papillotomes have equivalent intended uses as the Wiltek papillotomes. The general design characteristics and functionality are also similar. They all have a one (1) piece system construction which includes a handle, either double or triple lumen shafts, various cutting wire lengths and construction with precurved tips in multiple lengths.
Both the Wiltek and Bard devices may be advanced with or without using an .035 inch guidewire through the biopsy channel of a duodenoscope with optional use of fluoroscopy. A diathermic current is applied through the cutting wire to incise the Papilla of Vater or Sphincter of Oddi. A Touhy Borst may be attached to the guidewire lumen of the double lumen device to assist in placement and minimize
{2}------------------------------------------------
contrast leakage.
## Differences
The major design difference between the Bard and Wiltek papillotomes is the ProForma™ and Apollo³™ will have an ergonomic handle made from ABS instead of the polycarbonate handle used in the Wiltek design. The precurved tips on the Bard papillotomes will be either beveled or tapered, where the Wiltek tips are only beveled. A full range of tip lengths, from 8mm to 20mm, are provided by both manufacturers.
Additionally, Wiltek does not include the term 'cannulation' in their intended use. However, this is a common practice among billary endoscopists and a term found in the labeling accompanying other competitive papillotomes, such as the Wilson Cook papillotome supplied in Appendix C.
Although there may be minor differences in the manufacture and packaging of the Bard papillotomes, they are considered substantially equivalent to the Wiltek papillotomes. Any difference between the products raises no issue of safety or effectiveness based upon bow orientation, joint integrity, radiopacity, electrical and biocompatibility testing.
