## Device Description:
The DiLumen Ix is a sterile, single patient use, disposable electrosurgical instrument. The DiLumen ly utilizes a pistol style handle, flexible shaft with an articulating section at its distal end, and a stainless-steel knife tip that can be extended and retracted. The handle incorporates controls that allow the clinician to rotate the shaft, extend or retract the knife tip, articulate the distal end of the shaft in a specific plane, and lock the articulation in a fixed position. The DiLumen Ik has a plug at the bottom of the handle that is used to connect the device to an electrosurgical unit. When connected to the generator, and used in combination with grounding pads, high-frequency current can be applied through the knife tip to mark, cut or cauterize tissue at the lesion site. There is also a female luer lock connector on the handle that can be used with a standard luer lock syringe to introduce sterile saline at the distal end for flushing the knife tip or to inject saline into the submucosa to lift lesions.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The DiLumen In can also be used in conjunction with other endoscopic devices such as graspers to perform endolumenal interventions.
# Intended Use / Indications for Use:
The DiLumen Endolumenal Knife ("DiLumen Ik") is a disposable monopolar electrosurgical device intended to be used for marking, cutting, and cauterizing tissue within the digestive tract during endoscopic procedures. This device is also indicated for the induction of sterile normal saline into the submucosa to lift mucosal lesions under direct endoscopic visualization.
# Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The technological principle underlying both the subject and predicate devices is monopolar electrosurgical marking, cutting, dissection, and cauterization of tissue. Both devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- . Both are sterile, single use, monopolar instruments that allow for one-handed clinician operation.
- . Both share key functional characteristics, including the control handle, a flexible shaft with the same diameter, an articulating tip, and stainless-steel end effector.
- Each device can be connected to an electrosurgical generator using a dedicated cable plugged into the handle, in order to make use of monopolar electrical current to facilitate marking, cutting and cauterization.
- . Both are prescription-use devices employed by medical professionals in a healthcare facility.
The primary technological difference between the subject and predicate devices is that the proposed device can be used to inject saline into the submucosa, thus forming a bleb that will lift a lesion for enhanced visibility and to allow endoscopic removal. This added feature does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness, because FDA has cleared other endoscopic devices that have the same functionality such as the reference device, Olympus Medical Systems Corporation's Single Use Electrosurgical Knife (K171158).
The two devices also have slightly different end effector designs and associated operation, but this difference does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness as both have the same fundamental mechanism of action, and the previously cleared predicate can serve as a knife when used with the blades closed. In addition, the cleared reference device has a very similar end effector design as the DiLumen IK.
The table below compares the key features of the subject device to the predicate and reference devices.

## Performance Data:
Performance testing has demonstrated that the DiLumen Ik meets specifications and is as safe and effective as the predicate device. The following non-clinical performance data were provided in support of this 510(k) notice:
- 1. Biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, material mediated pyrogenicity)
- 2. End Effector Articulation Test
- 3. Leakage Test
{6}------------------------------------------------
- 4. Bleb Formation Test
- 5. Internal Pressurization Test
- 6. Shaft and Handle Rotation Accuracy Test
- 7. Electrical Continuity Test
- 8. Electrical Safety Test
- 9. Electromagnetic Compatibility Test
- 10. Packaging and Transit Evaluation
- 11. Design Validation
- 12. Human Factors/Usability Testing
In all instances, the device functioned as intended and the results observed were as expected.
## Conclusion:
The Dilumen Ik device has the same intended use and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the identified predicate and reference devices. The minor differences in end effector and saline flush capabilities between the DiLumen Ik and its predicate device do not raise any new questions of safety of effectiveness, and the performance data presented in the 510(k) notice further support that the DiLumen Ik functions as safely and performs as well as the identified predicate. Thus, the DiLumen Ik is substantially equivalent to the predicate Lumendi DiLumenal Interventional Scissors ("DiLumen I.") (K173405).
