LONG MEDIUM PALMAZ-SCHATZ BALLOON EXPANDABLE STENT

{0} JUN 20 1997 K964688 pg 1 of 4 510(k) Summary Submitter's name: Cordis Corporation, a Johnson & Johnson Company 40 Technology Drive Warren, New Jersey 07059 908-755-8300 908-412-3915 (fax) Contact person: Joan Martin Manager, Regulatory Affairs (908) 412-7250 Date prepared: November 20, 1996 Trade name: Long Medium PALMAZ-SCHATZ™ Balloon-Expandable Stent Common name: Biliary Stent Classification name: §876.5010 Biliary Catheter and Accessories Predicate devices: PALMAZ™ and PALMAZ-SCHATZ™ Balloon-Expandable Stents Schneider's Wallstent® Biliary Endoprosthesis Device description: The Long Medium PALMAZ-SCHATZ™ Balloon-Expandable Stent is a stainless steel, multi-articulated, slotted tube with nominal lengths of 42mm (PS424), 56mm (PS564), and 78mm (PS784) and an expansion range of 6-10mm. The Stents are intended for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. The Stents are provided unmounted to be crimped onto commercially available Cordis Opta 5™ Catheters which have been qualified by Cordis for stent delivery. The Stent is expanded via inflation of the balloon catheter and deployed. Upon expansion, the Stent forms a strong open lattice in a diamond pattern. The expanded Stent conforms to the inner luminal surface of the bile duct. The ability of the Stent to palliate malignant neoplasms is based upon the ability of the metallic structure of the Stent to plastically deform when the balloon is inflated and maintain its expanded state. Accessory Devices - The following accessory devices have been slightly modified to accommodate the longer Stent lengths. Shorter versions of these devices are {1} K964688 Pg 2 of 4 # 510(k) Summary (p.2) marketed for use with our current line of biliary stents, as well as with our iliac stent. The **Crimping Tube** is constructed of polyethylene. It is supplied sterile, for one use only and is provided with the unmounted Stent. The Crimping Tube protects the Stent/balloon assembly during the manual crimping process. Crimping tube modifications consist of a longer length to accommodate the longer stents and a slightly decreased wall thickness. The **Crimping Tool** (CRT 80) is a hand-held, reusable, metallic instrument which is used to manually crimp the unmounted Stents onto the recommended balloon catheter. The Crimping Tool is provided nonsterile and must be sterilized prior to use by standard autoclave procedures. The tool delivers a radial compressive force to the Stent, thereby securing the Stent to the balloon catheter. The Crimping Tool die has been modified to accommodate the additional stent lengths. Our currently marketed Crimping Tool (CRT40) is used to crimp the 42mm Long Medium Stents. --- **Intended use statement:** The stents are intended for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. --- **Labeled indication:** The Long Medium PALMAZ-SCHATZ™ Balloon Expandable Stent is indicated for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. --- **Technological characteristics:** The Long Medium PALMAZ-SCHATZ™ Balloon-Expandable Stents are substantially equivalent in design, function and intended use to the currently marketed PALMAZ™ and PALMAZ-SCHATZ™ Biliary Stents and to the Schneider Wallstent® Biliary Endoprosthesis. The subject and predicate devices are constructed of surgical grade stainless steel which is a known biocompatible implant material. The subject and predicate devices all have an open mesh design which is {2} K964688 pg 3 of 4 # 510(k) Summary (p.3) intended for palliation of malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. Both the currently marketed and the modified Cordis stents are constructed from stainless steel tubing. The Wallstent® stents are constructed of braided wire. The subject device and the currently marketed Cordis biliary stents are balloon-expandable. The Wallstent® stents are self-expanding. All of the devices utilize a catheter to deliver the stent. The range of lengths and diameters of the subject and predicate devices are comparable and are intended to meet clinical need. Diameter: 6-10mm for the subject devices, 4-12mm for the currently marketed Cordis Stents and predetermined 8-10mm for the Wallstent®. Lengths: 42mm, 56mm and 78mm for the subject device, 10-39mm for the currently marketed Cordis Stents and 15mm to 150mm for the Wallstent® device. ## Nonclinical performance: The differences between the subject and predicate devices are minor and are not relevant to the ability of the subject devices to palliate malignant neoplasms in the biliary tree. The descriptive characteristics are precise enough to demonstrate equivalence. However, qualification testing was performed to confirm the acceptable performance and properties of the subject devices. The following parameters were studied: Inflation time: Samples were fully expanded to the nominal diameter within the allotted time period. Balloon burst: Mounted stents did not modify the catheters’s labeled maximum burst pressure. Crossing profile: A 7F sheath is required for 6mm diameter balloons with mounted stents and an 8F sheath is required for 8mm and 10mm diameter balloons with mounted stents. Distension: All stents reached their nominal diameter within the recommended pressure. Deflation time/deflatability: All balloons with mounted stents deflated within the allotted time period. The {3} K964688 Pg 4 of 4 # 510(k) Summary (p.4) presence of the stent did not cause any interference with balloon deflatability. **Stent retention:** All samples met or exceeded our internal criteria for stent retention. **Recoil and Length:** The stent remains within its nominal diameter after recoil. Lengths were measured to determine stent length at each expanded diameter (for labeling purposes). **Radial Force:** The stent will not collapse within the clinically relevant range. **Percent Open Area:** All stent sizes have an open area of 80-90% in their expanded diameter range. **MRI Compatibility:** The subject devices were found to be MRI compatible. **Fatigue/Corrosion:** No cracks or other metallurgical defects resulted from fatigue testing.
