## Intended Use

The Stellartech Coagulation System is indicated for use in the coagulation of bleeding and nonbleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract including but not limited to, the esophagus. Indications include Esophageal Ulcers, Mallory-Weiss tears, Arteriovenous Malformations, Angiomata, Barrett's Esophagus, Dieulafoy Lesions, and Angiodysplasia.

## Device Story

Stellartech Coagulation System is an electrosurgical device for GI tract coagulation. System components include a coagulation catheter, connection module, generator, sheath, and optional footswitch/sizing accessories. The catheter connects to the module, which interfaces with the generator. Operated by clinicians in a clinical setting, the device delivers electrosurgical energy to bleeding or non-bleeding GI sites to achieve coagulation. The system is used to treat conditions like esophageal ulcers, Mallory-Weiss tears, and various vascular lesions. By providing controlled coagulation, the device assists in managing GI bleeding and treating specific mucosal pathologies, potentially reducing the need for more invasive interventions.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, materials, and principles of operation compared to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Electrosurgical cutting and coagulation system (21 CFR 878.4400). Components include catheter, connection module, generator, and sheath. Operates via electrosurgical energy delivery. Class II device.

## Regulatory Identification

An electrosurgical cutting and coagulation device and accessories is a device intended to remove tissue and control bleeding by use of high-frequency electrical current.
