Dear Dinah Rincones:
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 (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 located 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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

#### Device Description
The Medline Quick-Clear Wand is a single use device intended for use in clearing occlusions/clogs from gastrostomy tubes (G-Tubes) and Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy tubes (PEG tubes) – tubes that are placed through the abdomen wall and rest in the stomach of the patient, and jejunostomy tubes (J-Tubes) - tubes that are placed through the abdomen wall and rest in the jejunum of the patient. The proposed device is manually inserted into the feeding tube, directed along the inside of the tube to reach the blockage, and a rotating motion of the device (manually generated by the operator) mechanically acts on the occlusion to restore the tube patency. All Medline Quick-Clear Wand are offered non-sterile and are prescription only.
#### Indications for Use
Medline Quick-Clear Wand is intended to be used by health care providers to restore and maintain patency of gastrostomy tubes (G-Tubes), jejunostomy tubes (J-Tubes), and percutaneous endoscopic (PEG) tubes that may be used in infant patients over 10kg, children, adolescents, and adults.

# Summary of Non-Clinical Testing
Non- clinical verification of the Medline Quick-Clear Wand has been conducted to evaluate its safety, performance and functionality. The results of these tests have demonstrated the overall safety of the proposed device and ultimately support a substantial equivalence determination to the predicate, Tube DeClogger (K905164).
A summary of the testing performed is presented below.
## Biocompatibility Testing
The biological evaluation for the Medline Quick-Clear Wand was conducted in accordance with FDA guidance document, "Use of International Standard ISO 10993, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing' and ISO 10993-1 Biological Evaluation of the Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation of Testing within a Risk Management Process. The proposed device is intended to restore and maintain patency of feeding tubes; as such, the Medline Quick-Clear Wand is only intended to operate inside feeding tubes. Therefore, the proposed device has been categorized as a surface device with indirect contact with mucosal membrane for a limited duration of contact (< 24 hours).
The following biocompatibility tests were performed:
- . Cytotoxicity - MEM Elution Using L-929 Mouse Fibroblast Cells per ISO 10993-5: 2009 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices-Part 5: Tests for in vitro Cytotoxicity."
- Sensitization Guinea Pig Maximization Sensitization Test per ISO 10993-10: 2010: "Biological ● Evaluation of Medical Devices- Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization."
- Irritation Intracutaneous Irritation Test per ISO 10993-10: 2010: "Biological Evaluation of . Medical Devices- Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin Sensitization."
The biocompatibility test results indicate that the Medline Quick Clear Wand is considered to be noncytotoxic, non-sensitizing, and a non-irritant. Collectively, the test results indicate that the product meets the biocompatibility requirements and is considered safe for its intended use.
## Performance Testing (Bench)
To evaluate the performance of Medline Quick-Clear Wand, the proposed device was subjected to the following performance testing:
- . Flexural testing per ASTM D790-17 - Standard Test Methods For Flexure Properties Of Unreinforced Plastics And Electrical Insulating Materials, *
- Seal strength testing per ASTM F88/F88M-15 Standard Test Method For Seal Strength Of ● Flexible Barrier Materials,
