A-View® is intended for use in conjunction with TEE investigation of the upper mediastinum in anesthetized patients. They allow visibility of the distal ascending aorta by TEE and permit the condition of the ascending aorta to be evaluated before surgery. A-View® is limited for use in adult patients.
Device Story
A-View® is a catheter with an inflatable balloon inserted through an endotracheal tube in anesthetized patients; balloon is inflated with sterile saline. Device functions as an acoustic window during transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to improve visualization of the distal ascending aorta. Used in hospitals and outpatient surgery facilities by clinicians performing TEE. Output is an enhanced ultrasound image of the aorta, aiding surgical planning. Benefits include improved diagnostic visibility of the ascending aorta before surgery.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance testing included leakage, balloon inflation, bond strength, tubing flexibility, kink test, torque, tensile strength, and drop testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO 10993-5, 10993-10, and 10993-11 for cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, and acute systemic toxicity.
Technological Characteristics
Catheter with inflatable balloon; saline-filled for acoustic contrast. Dimensions: 2 mm ID / 4 mm OD, 1065 mm length. Depth markings at 24 cm and 28 cm. Sterilized via Ethylene Oxide (EO). Biocompatibility: Externally communicating/tissue/surface contact, limited duration (<24 hours).
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients undergoing TEE investigation of the upper mediastinum while anesthetized. Contraindicated in patients with severe respiratory failure, tracheomalacia, or conditions precluding TEE (e.g., systemic tissue disease affecting esophagus/trachea).
Regulatory Classification
Identification

### Device Description:
The A-View® is a catheter with an inflatable balloon that is inserted through an endotracheal tube of an anesthetized patient. Once inserted the balloon is inflated with saline. This inflated balloon is placed near the aortic arch so that when the clinician is performing a TEE (transesophageal echocardiography) procedure the saline filled balloon provides better contrast for an image.
### Indications for Use:
A-View® is intended for use in conjunction with TEE investigation of the upper mediastinum in anesthetized patients. They allow visibility of the distal ascending aorta by TEE and permit the condition of the ascending aorta to be evaluated before surgery. A-View® is limited for use in adult patients.
### Contraindications:
May not be used in case of severe respiratory failure, tracheomalacia or contraindications for the use of TEE (e.g. systemic tissue disease affecting the esophagus and/or trachea tissue to a degree not compatible with any aspect of TEE).

## 510(k) Summary April 19, 2017 Page 3 of 4
Discussion: There are no differences between both devices, thus they can be found substantially equivalent.
Compliance with Standards: We utilized several recognized standards in the evaluation of the subject device.
- ISO 10993-5, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 5: Tests for In Vitro Cytotoxicity . (2009)
- ISO 10993-10, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 10: Tests for Irritation and Skin . Sensitization (2010)
- ISO 10993-11, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 11: Tests for Systemic Toxicity ● (2006)
Discussion: We have evaluated performance to the closest available standards and the results support the determination of substantial equivalence.
## Non-clinical Performance Testing:
Bench Tests: We have performed bench tests and found that the A-View® met all performance requirements and specifications and was found to be equivalent in comparison to the predicate. The test included:
- Leakage ●
- Balloon inflation ●
- Bond strength
- Flexibility of tubing ●
- Kink test ●
- Torque ●
- Tensile strength ●
- Drop test
- Tests real-time aged devices .
Biocompatibility: We have performed ISO 10993-1 testing as the materials in patient of the A-View® as:
- . Surface Contact / Mucosa membrane / Limited duration of use (<24 hours)
- And
- Externally communicating / Tissue / Dentin / Bone / Limited duration of use (< 24 hours) ●
Test that was performed included:
- Cytotoxicity ●
- . Sensitization
- Intracutaneous reactivity / Irritation
- . Acute Systemic Toxicity even though it is not required
## Differences
There are slight differences between the proposed device. The differences are:
- Pilot balloon was modified in size and shape for easier viewing by the clinician ●
- O This change has no performance change, only that it is larger than the predicate
- . Materials - some materials were changed
- The materials were evaluated via ISO 10993 testing o
- . Device marking
- The proposed device has an additional marking at 28 cm on the main shaft o
- . This assists the user in depth placement

# Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
Based upon the foregoing performance testing and comparison to the legally marketed predicate device for indications for use, technology, and performance we believe we have demonstrated that the A-View® is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
