Device features two opposing jaws controlled by a proximal handle lever; manual firing mechanism deploys preloaded titanium clips. Used by physicians in clinical settings to achieve hemostasis, mark tissue, anchor feeding tubes, or close GI perforations. Device provides mechanical tissue approximation; benefits include minimally invasive alternative to surgery for specific GI defects. ## Clinical Evidence Bench and preclinical testing only. Results demonstrate performance equivalence to predicates in hemostasis, clip retention, and tissue viability. Literature review supports use for perforation closure, fistulas, anastomotic leaks, and diverticula bleeding without increased safety risks. ## Technological Characteristics Sterile, single-use, disposable endoscopic instrument. Materials include titanium clips. Sensing/actuation: manual lever-actuated mechanical grasping and firing mechanism. Dimensions: compatible with flexible endoscopes having minimum 3.2 mm working channel. No electronic components or software. ## Regulatory Identification A hemorrhoidal ligator is a device used to cut off the blood flow to hemorrhoidal tissue by means of a ligature or band placed around the hemorrhoid. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). Except for a hemostatic metal clip intended for use in the gastrointestinal tract, the device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9. ## Predicate Devices - Syntheon, LLC: Endoscopic Multi-Fire Clip Applier - Olympus Optical Co., Ltd.: Rotatable Clip Fixing Device HX-5/6-1 ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Cincinnati, OH 45242 ### Contact Kimberly Shoemaker, RAC Manager, Regulatory Affairs ### Date Prepared: July 15, 2005 ### Name of Device Trade Name: InScope™ Multi-Clip Applier Classification Name: Clip Applier/Endoscopic Clipping Device ### Predicate Devices: Trade Name: Syntheon, LLC: Endoscopic Multi-Fire Clip Applier Olympus Optical Co., Ltd .: Rotatable Clip Fixing Device HX-5/6-1 ### Device Description The InScope™ Mult-Clip Applier is a sterile, single patient use, disposable instrument capable of attaching clips to the mucosal lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The clips are used to create hemostasis and/or tissue approximation. The distal, flexible portion of the applier is designed to work with a flexible endoscope having a minimum working channel diameter of 3.2 mm. Two opposing jaws grasp tissue via a manually activated lever on a proximal handle. Once the closure lever is latched, a firing mechanism is manually activated, which deploys a titanium clip over the target tissue. The device is supplied preloaded with four (4) titanium clips. {1}------------------------------------------------ K051950 pg 2 of 2 ### Indications for Use The InScope Multi-Clip Applier is indicated for use with an endoscope to place clips in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract for the purpose of: - Endoscopic marking, . - Hemostasis for: ● - o Mucosal and submucosal defects < 3 cm - Bleeding ulcers o - o Arteries < 2 mm - o Polyps < 1.5 cm in diameter - o Diverticula in the colon - Anchoring to affix jejunal feeding tubes to the wall of the small bowel, . - Closure of GI tract luminal perforations < 20 mm in patients where an alternative . to surgery is required. ### Technological Characteristics The InScope™ Multi-Clip Applier does not have the identical indication statements as the predicate devices, but the differences noted do not alter the intended therapeutic/diagnostic effect. #### Performance Data Results of bench and preclinical testing demonstrate that performance of the InScope Multi-Fire Clip Applier is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in regards to hemostasis, clip retention and lack of tissue damage upon clip placement (tissue remains viable). A literature review in combination with the preclinical data demonstrates the use of the InScope Multi-Clip Applier for closure of gastrointestinal perforations, fistulas, anastomotic leaks and for control of bleeding diverticula is not likely to raise any new or increased risks to safety and effectiveness compared to risks experienced with similar marketed devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/2 description: The image shows a logo with a stylized bird figure.
