Indications for Use
The Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation and to serve as a sizing guide.
Device Story
Single-patient use, non-sterile gastric sizing tube; 76 cm length; 32F, 36F, or 40F diameters. Constructed of thermoplastic elastomer (SEBS) with LDPE slide valve-connector and internal stainless steel support spring at distal end. Used in surgery centers/hospitals by physicians during bariatric/gastric procedures. Device inserted into stomach; slide valve allows clinician to toggle between suction/irrigation and closed/vent states. Distal holes facilitate decompression and fluid drainage. Internal spring provides kink resistance. Serves as sizing guide for gastric pouch formation. Output is mechanical fluid management and physical sizing reference; aids clinical decision-making regarding pouch size and gastric decompression.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included dimensional analysis, valve-connector to tube joint strength, distal end kink test, support spring stability, age testing, and ISO 80369-1 compliance. Biocompatibility testing performed per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 10993-5 (cytotoxicity) and 10993-10 (irritation and sensitization).
Technological Characteristics
Thermoplastic elastomer (SEBS) tube; LDPE slide valve-connector; stainless steel support spring. 76 cm length; 32F, 36F, 40F sizes. Single lumen; rounded closed distal end with side holes. Non-sterile, single-patient use. Mechanical operation; no energy source. Biocompatible materials.
Indications for Use
Indicated for individuals undergoing gastric and bariatric surgical procedures requiring stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, or use as a sizing guide.
Regulatory Classification
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.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube is a single patient use, non-sterile device which consists of a 76 cm long, thermoplastic elastomer (Styrene-Ethylene-Styrene) tube of either 32 French, 36 French, or 40 French diameter, with a low density polyethylene (LDPE) slide valve-connector at the proximal end of the tube. The tube has multiple holes and a rounded end, distal from the slide valve, and contains a stainless steel support spring inside the lumen of the tube at the distal end.
The device is used to decompress the stomach contents, and allow for irrigation via the distal holes. The slide valve is used to switch between open for suction/irrigation and closed/vent. The tube serves as a sizing guide.
#### INTENDED USE:
The Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation and to serve as a sizing guide.

# DISCUSSION:
i'
The Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube is similar to the predicate devices REALIZE™ Gastric Calibration Tube and EndoFLIP® Gastric Tube EF-900.
#### Intended Use
The indications for use statement for the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube contains language that is not specifically incorporated in the indications for use statements of the predicate device. Specifically the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube indication for use statement includes "for the application of suction" and "irrigation".
While the exact text "for the application of suction" is not specifically included in the Indications for Use statements of the predicate devices it is inherent in the functions of stomach decompression and removal of gastric fluid, which are included in the indication for use statements of the predicate devices. Additionally, suction is referred to in the description section of the 510k Summary for the REALIZE™ Gastric Calibration Tube and the description section of the REALIZE™ Gastric Calibration Tube Instructions for Use, as well as in the Device Description section of the EndoFLIP® Gastric Tube EF-900 510k summary.
While "irrigation" is not specifically included in the Indications for Use statements of the predicate devices, it is specifically covered in the Description Section of the 510k Summary for the REALIZE™ Gastric Calibration Tube and the Description Section of the REALIZE™ Gastric Calibration Tube Instructions for use, as well as in the Device Description section of the EndoFLIP® Gastric Tube EF-900 510k summary.
As such, these differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the new device when used as labeled.
#### Technical Characteristics
The Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube has technological characteristics similar to the predicate devices. The tubes are made from different materials, however, the materials of the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube and the predicate devices are all biocompatible. The Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube includes a slide valve, while the predicate devices do not. The slide valve enables the user to more easily turn suction on and off. The predicate devices include markings on the tube, while the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube does not, as it is inserted under laparoscopic visualization. Lastly, the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube includes an internal support spring at the distal end which provides the device with increased resistance to kinking. These differences do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the new device when used as labeled.
#### Performance Testing
The performance testing conducted with the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube referenced above indicates the new device performs equivalently to, or better than the predicate devices.
#### CONCLUSION:
As evidenced from the intended use, technological characteristics, and performance testing conducted, the Boehringer Laboratories Gastric Sizing Tube is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices.
