## Indications for Use

The Entero-Test® HP is an in-vitro diagnostic device to be used for the collection of fluid/mucous containing Helicobacter pylori from the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults. The device consists of a nylon thread, 90cm in length, coiled inside a #00 gelatin pharmaceutical capsule.

## Device Story

Entero-Test® HP is a specimen collection device consisting of a 90cm nylon thread coiled inside a #00 gelatin capsule. The device is swallowed by an adult patient to collect fluids/mucous from the upper gastrointestinal tract. Once retrieved, the collected specimen is analyzed for the presence of Helicobacter pylori. A pH stick and color chart are included to identify the pH of the retrieved fluids, as pH levels may affect specimen results. The device is used to assist in the diagnosis of H. pylori infection, with biopsy results serving as the clinical gold standard for comparison. No adverse reactions or serious injuries were reported during clinical studies.

## Clinical Evidence

Clinical studies conducted in the U.S. and China compared the Entero-Test® HP to biopsy (the gold standard) for the collection of H. pylori. Results indicated an effectiveness rate in excess of 70% (specifically 74% vs 80% recovery) in collecting fluids/mucous containing H. pylori. No adverse reactions or serious injuries were reported.

## Technological Characteristics

Device consists of a 90cm nylon thread coiled inside a #00 gelatin pharmaceutical capsule. Includes a pH stick and color chart for specimen pH identification. Sterilized using a validated method. Same materials and design as predicate devices.

## Regulatory Identification

A microbiological specimen collection and transport device is a specimen collecting chamber intended for medical purposes to preserve the viability or integrity of microorganisms in specimens during storage of specimens after their collection and during their transport from the collecting area to the laboratory. The device may be labeled or otherwise represented as sterile. The device aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by pathogenic microorganisms.

## Predicate Devices

- Entero-Test® (preamendments device)
- Entero-Test® Pediatric (preamendments device)

| Performance Data: | The clinical tests conducted for the Entero-Test® HP show that the In Vitro Diagnostic device is effective in collecting upper gastrointestinal tract fluid/mucous that contain <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> .                                                                                                                                                                         |
|                   | As Biopsy is considered the “gold standard” for determining the presence of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> in a sample specimen, the performance of the Entero-Test® HP in successfully collecting fluids/mucous containing <i>H. pylori</i> was directly compared to the Biopsy results.                                                                                                |
|                   | The comparative results of the studies in the U.S. and China do not show a significant difference (74% vs. 80% recovery). Both study sites indicate that the Entero-Test® HP is effective in collecting fluids/mucous containing <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> from the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults in excess of seventy percent (70%) when compared to Biopsy test results. |
|                   | In the studies described above, it was noted that the pH of retrieved stomach contents may affect specimen results, and is therefore so stated in the limitations under the Instructions for Use.                                                                                                                                                                                    |
|                   | No adverse reactions or serious injuries were reported from both sites.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |
| Conclusions:      | Entero-Test® HP is a device that can be used to collect fluid/mucous containing <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> from the upper gastrointestinal tract of adults.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |

Re: K983119 Trade Name: Entero-Test® HP Regulatory Class: I Product Code: LIO Dated: December 29, 1998 Received: January 4, 1999

Dear Mr. Ross:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition. FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

Under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA-88), this device may require a CLIA complexity categorization. To determine if it does, you should contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at (770)488-7655.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4588. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
