The gastrostomy tube may also be used for gastric decompression ## Device Story Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit facilitates enteral feeding, medication delivery, and gastric decompression. Device consists of a silicone gastrostomy tube and associated kit components (guidewire, syringe, gauze, lubricant, etc.). Used in clinical settings for percutaneous placement via established tract or Stamm procedure. Operates as a mechanical conduit for gastric access. Benefits include reliable enteral nutrition and decompression for patients unable to ingest food orally. No electronic or software components. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Silicone. Dimensions: 10-28 Fr diameter, 7-18 inch length. Sterilization: Ethylene oxide gas per AAMI protocol. Non-electronic, mechanical device. ## Regulatory Identification A gastrointestinal tube and accessories is a device that consists of flexible or semi-rigid tubing used for instilling fluids into, withdrawing fluids from, splinting, or suppressing bleeding of the alimentary tract. This device may incorporate an integral inflatable balloon for retention or hemostasis. This generic type of device includes the hemostatic bag, irrigation and aspiration catheter (gastric, colonic, etc.), rectal catheter, sterile infant gavage set, gastrointestinal string and tubes to locate internal bleeding, double lumen tube for intestinal decompression or intubation, feeding tube, gastroenterostomy tube, Levine tube, nasogastric tube, single lumen tube with mercury weight balloon for intestinal intubation or decompression, and gastro-urological irrigation tray (for gastrological use). ## Special Controls *Classification.* (1) Class II (special controls). The barium enema retention catheter and tip with or without a bag that is a gastrointestinal tube and accessory or a gastronomy tube holder accessory 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 (general controls) for the dissolvable nasogastric feed tube guide for the nasogastric tube. The class I device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to § 876.9. ## Predicate Devices - MRI All Silicone Gastrostomy Tube ([K951489](/device/K951489.md)) - Corpak Medsystems CorfloTM-Dual GT Gastrostomy Tubes ([K901501](/device/K901501.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Premarket Notification, Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit, June 19, 1996 Proprietary and Confidential Information of Boston Scientific Corporation {1} K962375 ## POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS Complications may include, but are not limited to minor wound infections at stoma site; leakage of gastric contents; gastrocolic fistula; and sepsis. ## DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed MRI All Silicone Gastrostomy Tube and Corpak Medsystems CorfloTM-Dual GT Gastrostomy Tubes. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products. ## PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS The components of the Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit have the same characteristics as those devices that are currently marketed. There is no change in the performance characteristics or intended use. ## PACKAGING, STERILIZATION, AND PYROGENICITY The Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit will be packaged in a tray and sealed with a Tyvek lid. The Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit will be sterilized using ethylene oxide gas using the AAMI protocol for ethylene oxide sterilization. Pyrogenicity testing will be performed on a periodic basis to monitor bacterial endotoxin levels. ## CONCLUSION Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed devices. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products. As demonstrated in Figure 9-1, the Balloon Gastrostomy Tube Kit is equivalent in its indications for use, design, and materials.
