BARRX Medical Inc. BARRX Medical Inc. Radio Therapeutics Corporation (Boston Scientific Inc) {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Intended Use / Indications for Use The HALOFLEX Energy Generator is indicated for use for the coagulation of soft tissue The HALOFLEX Energy Generator intended use is for coagulation of soft tissue, and bleeding on non bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract. The HALORLEX Energy Generator is indicated for use in the coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding 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. ## Technological Characteristics The HALORLEX Energy Generator is a modification to the HALO360 Energy Generator and HALO® Energy Generators that have already been cleared by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA" or the "Agency") for use in coagulation of bleeding and non-bleeding sites in the gastrointestinal tract including but not limited to the esophagus (K051168 and K060169, K062441 respectively). The Generator has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as the cleared HALO360 and HALO90 Energy Generators. In addition, the intended use was expanded to include "coagulation of soft tissue", for this indication for use the predicate device is the RF 3000 Radiofrequency Generator (K000241). The design changes between the HALO360 and HALO® Energy Generators and the HALOFLEX Energy Generator do not affect the clinical parameters employed in the energy delivery or the safety mechanisms that control those parameters. The HALOFLEX Energy Generator has a limited number of design changes compared to the predicate devices. These changes are minor and do not raise no questions or effectiveness. Further, bench testing demonstrated comparable performance and safety. These modifications were as follows: - Add to the indications for use the "coagulation of soft tissue", to reflect the . general nature of the device. - Modification of the CPU board, for increased memory . - Consolidation of the Pressure Monitoring Board and RF MUX Board in the Hand Piece Interface Board {2}------------------------------------------------ - Integration on the HALO360 and HALO90 Energy Generators on the same . hardware platform as HALO360 Energy Generator - . Update the software codes to reflect the specific performance characteristics for each Energy Generator. - Optimization of components for reliability, and/or obsolescence ## Performance Data The HALOFLEX Energy Generator is technologically equivalent and clinically identical to the cleared HALO360 and HALO90 Energy Generators. Performance testing was conducted in compliance with the applicable international and domestic requirements and the certifications (for harmonized standards) and the reports for performance testing were provided to FDA to support this submission. That data demonstrated that, when used in accordance with the instructions, the HALOFLEX is at least as safe and effective as the predicate devices HALO360 and HALO90 Energy Generators. ### Substantial Equivalence The HALOFLEX Energy Generator is as safe and effective as the HALO360 Energy Generator (K051168) and HALO90 Energy Generator (K060169 and K062441), RF 3000 Radiofrequency Generator (K000241) the predicate devices. The HALOFLEX Energy Generator has the same intended uses and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as its predicate device. The minor technological differences between the HALORLES Energy Generator and its predicate devices raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the HALOFLEX Energy Generator is as safe and effective as HALO360 Energy Generator (K051168) and HALO90 Energy Generator (K060169 and K062441), RF 3000 Radiofrequency Generator the predicate devices. Thus, the HALOFLEX Energy Generator is substantially equivalent. {3}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/3/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
