It consists of a coaxial catheter with a dilation balloon mounted on the distal tip. The device is used by clinicians to dilate gastrointestinal strictures. The balloon is inflated with fluid to three distinct, progressively larger diameters to exert radial pressure on the stricture. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use. It is used in conjunction with an inflation device (sold separately). ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is supported by design control processes and performance testing. ## Technological Characteristics Coaxial catheter with distal dilation balloon; fluid-inflatable to three distinct diameters; wire-guided; single-use; supplied sterile. ## Regulatory Identification An esophageal dilator is a device that consists of a cylindrical instrument that may be hollow and weighted with mercury or a metal olive-shaped weight that slides on a guide, such as a string or wire and is used to dilate a stricture of the esophagus. This generic type of device includes esophageal or gastrointestinal bougies and the esophageal dilator (metal olive). ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9. ## Predicate Devices - Quantum T.T.C Balloon Dilation Catheter ([K935094](/device/K935094.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
