ViSiGi 3D® is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, to test for leaks, and to serve as a sizing guide.

Device Story

52Fr ViSiGi LUX™ and 52Fr ViSiGi 3D® are non-sterile, single-patient-use gastric sizing tubes; used in gastric and bariatric surgery. Devices feature flexible single-lumen tube, closed rounded distal tip, distal side holes, depth markings, proximal slide valve, and suction connector. 52Fr versions utilize an adapter to connect larger distal tube to existing proximal assembly. ViSiGi LUX™ includes non-rechargeable batteries powering distal LEDs for tissue transillumination to aid laparoscopic visualization. Inserted by anesthesiologist under surgeon supervision. Devices facilitate suction, decompression, drainage, irrigation, leak testing, and sizing. No software or firmware incorporated. Benefits include improved visualization (LUX) and standardized sizing during bariatric procedures.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only: irrigation testing, dimensional analysis, bulb compatibility/functionality, squeeze bulb verification, kink resistance, and tensile-force testing on the adapter/tubing connection (n=60). All samples met predetermined acceptance criteria.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.

They are used to apply suction, decompress the stomach, drain gastric fluids, irrigate, test for leaks, and serve as a sizing guide. The 52 Fr devices comprise a flexible single-lumen tube with a closed, rounded distal tip, distal side holes, depth markings, a proximal slide valve, and suction connector. The larger distal tube is connected to the existing proximal assembly using an adapter component. ViSiGi LUX™ also includes non-rechargeable batteries that power an array of LEDs enclosed within the distal end of the tube. The purpose of the LED lights is to aid visualization of the tube by tissue transillumination during insertion and surgery under laparoscopic vision. The devices are inserted by an anesthesiologist under supervision of the surgeon. The devices do not incorporate software or firmware. ## Intended Use/Indications for Use 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) ViSiGi LUX™ is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, to test for leaks, and to serve as a sizing guide. ViSiGi 3D® is indicated for use in gastric and bariatric surgical procedures for the application of suction, stomach decompression, drainage of gastric fluids, irrigation, to test for leaks, and to serve as a sizing guide. ## Indications for Use Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(5) {5} K261890 Page 2 of 2 The proposed indications include leak testing for ViSiGi LUX™, which was not included in K234033. Leak testing was previously cleared for ViSiGi 3D® under K234145. ViSiGi LUX™ is the lighted version of ViSiGi 3D®, and the leak testing function is performed in the same manner for both devices using the same slide valve and optional squeeze bulb connection. Therefore, adding leak testing to ViSiGi LUX™ does not create a new intended use. ## Technological Comparison 21 CFR 807.92(a)(6) The subject devices are 52 Fr versions of the ViSiGi 3D® and ViSiGi LUX™ gastric sizing tube product lines. Compared to the ViSiGi LUX™ predicate device, the subject devices have the same classification, product code, regulation, use environment, patient population, intraoperative use, tubing material, single-lumen configuration, rounded closed distal tip, distal side holes, suction connector, slide valve, depth markings, and non-sterile single-patient-use configuration. The technological differences are limited to the larger 52 Fr distal tube size and the associated adapter component needed to connect the larger distal tube to the existing proximal assembly. The 52 Fr ViSiGi LUX™ retains the same battery-powered lighted distal end feature as the predicate ViSiGi LUX™ device. These differences do not change the device's fundamental technological characteristics or principle of operation. ## Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b) Non-clinical testing was performed to support the 52 Fr size modification. Irrigation Testing, Dimensional Analysis, Bulb Compatibility Testing, Bulb Functionality Testing, Squeeze Bulb Verification Testing, and Fr Kink Resistance testing conducted on 52 Fr size modification. Component integrity testing was conducted on the new adapter/tubing connection used to connect the larger 52 Fr distal tube to the existing proximal assembly. Sixty samples were tested against a predetermined tensile-force acceptance criterion. All samples met the acceptance criterion, supporting that the modified 52 Fr ViSiGi 3D® and ViSiGi LUX™ devices maintain appropriate mechanical integrity for the added 52 Fr size option. No clinical testing was performed. Based on the non-clinical testing, risk analysis, and comparison to the predicate devices, the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
