Indications for Use

The Bard® Balloon Dilator is intended to be used for dilatation of strictures of the gastrointestinal tract, but not limited to strictures of the esophagus, pylorus, duodenum, sphincter of Oddi, biliary tree and colon.

Device Story

The Bard® Balloon Dilator is a 6Fr. polyurethane catheter with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) balloon at the distal end. It is a line extension of the Bard® Balloon Dilatation System, featuring a 230cm shaft, 4cm balloon length, and modified cone angles. The device is used by physicians in clinical settings to dilate gastrointestinal strictures. The operator inserts the catheter and inflates the balloon to the required diameter (6mm to 18mm) to mechanically expand the stricture. The device is manually operated; it does not involve electronic processing or software. Clinical benefit is derived from the mechanical relief of gastrointestinal obstructions.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and performance comparisons to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

6Fr. polyurethane catheter shaft; polyethylene terephthalate (PET) balloon; 230cm length; 6-18mm inflated balloon diameter; single lumen; manual inflation mechanism. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring dilatation of gastrointestinal tract strictures, including esophagus, pylorus, duodenum, sphincter of Oddi, biliary tree, and colon.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

{0} MAY 20 1994 K940965 6.0 ### 510(k) SUMMARY FOR THE BARD® BALLOON DILATOR As required under Section 12, part (a)(i)(3A) of the Safe Medical Device Act of 1990, an adequate summary of any information respecting safety and effectiveness follows. ### 6.1 General Information Name and address of submitter: Interventional Products Division, C.R. Bard, Inc. 200 Ames Pond Drive Tewksbury, MA 01876 Contact: John A. DeLucia Director, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Date of Summary: 1 March 1994 Name of Device: Bard® Balloon Dilator Predicate Devices: Bard® Balloon Dilatation System (K863437) Microvasive Achiever™ (Boston Scientific, Inc.) Description and Intended Use of Device: The Bard® Balloon Dilator is a 6Fr. polyurethane 230cm shaft catheter containing a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) balloon. Inflated balloon diameters range in size from 6mm to 18mm. The Bard® Balloon Dilator is intended to be used for dilatation of strictures of the gastrointestinal tract, but not limited to strictures of the esophagus, pylorus, duodenum, sphincter of Oddi, biliary tree and colon. 000037 {1} 6.2 ## Summary of Similarities and Differences Please refer to Exhibit 6.2 for a Table of Similarities and Differences. The Bard® Balloon Dilator is a line extension to the currently marketed Bard® Balloon Dilatation System (K863437). Slight design modifications have been made to the predicate Bard® Dilator to expand the product line in order to present a greater selection of dilatation catheters to physicians. These modifications are: 1) extension of the catheter shaft from 180cm to a length of 230cm 2) reduction of the balloon length from 8cm to 4cm 3) modification of balloon geometry and cone angles 4) shorter distal tip 5) alternate supplier of polyurethane for the catheter shaft which contains a different colorant In all other respects, the proposed device is the similar to the currently marketed Bard® Balloon Dilatation System. The device subject to premarket notification is also similar to the balloon dilatation catheter, Achiever, Disposable TTS® Balloon Dilator, marketed by Microvasive (Boston Scientific, Inc.). Their catheter length, size, balloon length, inflated diameter, and balloon material are equivalent. The catheter shaft material is different in that the Bard® proposed device consists of polyurethane while the Microvasive Achiever™ is made of polyvinyl chloride. {2} Exhibit 6.2 Table of Substantial Equivalence* | Characteristics | Current Marketed Device Bard® Balloon Dilatation Catheter - K863437 | Microvasive Achiever™** | Proposed Bard® Balloon Dilators | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Intended Use | For use in the dilatation of strictures of the gastrointestinal tract | same | same | | Catheter Length (cm) | 180 | 180 and 240 | 230 | | Catheter Size (Fr.) | 6 | 5 - 14 | 6 | | Balloon Length (cm) | 8 | 5.5 and 8 | 4 | | Inflated Balloon Diameter (mm) | 6 - 18 | 6 - 25 | 6 - 18 | | Shaft Material | Polyurethane/Reed Blue Colorant | Polyvinyl Chloride | Polyurethane/Phthalocyanine Blue | | Balloon Material | Polyethylene terephthalate | Polyethylene | Polyethylene terephthalate | | Lumen | Single | Single | Single | Recommended Maximum Balloon Inflation Pressure (psi) | Balloon Diameter (mm) | Current Marketed Device Bard® Balloon Dilatation Catheter - K863437 | Microvasive Achiever™ | Proposed Bard® Balloon Dilators | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 6 | 120 | 75 | 100 | | 8 | 120 | 60 | 120 | | 10 | 90 | 50 | 90 | | 12 | 90 | 50 | 90 | | 15 | 60 | 45 | 60 | | 18 | 50 | 35 | 50 | * All dimensions are nominal. ** We could not ascertain the 510(k) number for this device; however, we consider it to be a legally marketed device since it is in commercial distribution. 000039 {3} ### 6.3 Substantial Equivalence Decision Tree The 510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" Decision-Making Process (Detailed) in ODE Guidance #K86-3, Guidance on the CDRH Premarket Notification Review Program, was used to determine substantial equivalence. Please refer to Exhibit 4.2 for a diagram of the 510(k) Decision Tree. The answers to the questions lead to a determination of substantial equivalence 1. Does the new device have same indication statement? Yes. There is no change in the intended use for the Bard® Balloon Dilatation System as a result of this product line extension. The previously reviewed and currently marketed Bard® Balloon Dilatation Catheter System and its proposed product line extension are intended for use in the dilatation of strictures of the gastrointestinal tract including, but not limited to, strictures of the esophagus, pylorus, duodenum, sphincter of Oddi, biliary tree and colon. 2. Does the new device have same technological characteristics, e.g. design, materials, etc.? Yes. The proposed Bard® Balloon Dilators like the currently marketed Bard® Balloon Dilatation Catheter System are substantially equivalent with respect to design, in that they consist of a catheter to which an inflatable balloon is bonded to the distal end of the catheter shaft. A slight design modification for the proposed catheters entails longer catheter shafts (180 to 230cm), shorter balloons (4cm), having slightly different cone angles, a shorter distal catheter tip, and a different blue colorant in the polyurethane shaft material. 000040 {4} The proposed design for the product line extension to the Bard® Balloon Dilatation System is also substantially equivalent to the Achiever™ balloon dilator catheters marketed by Microvasive. Microvasive's longest catheter has a usable length of 240cm, the catheter shaft sizes are between 5 and 14Fr, the lengths of the balloon range from 5.5 to 8cm, and the inflated balloon diameters range between 6 and 25mm. ### 3. Are the descriptive characteristics precise enough to ensure equivalence? Yes. A comparison of the key properties of intended use, design and materials are presented in the "Table of Substantial Equivalence", Exhibit 4.1. This table presents the descriptive and performance data of the currently marketed device, the Bard® Balloon Dilatation System (K863437), the proposed product line extension and Microvasive Achiever™ balloon dilator catheters. The table has been developed to support the performance of the proposed Bard® Balloon Dilatation System product line extension and demonstrates that the proposed Bard dilatation catheters are substantially equivalent to those currently marketed. 000041 {5} [LOGO] DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Public Health Service Food and Drug Administration 10903 New Hampshire Avenue Document Control Center – WO66-G609 Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002 March 25, 2015 C.R.
