## Indications for Use

The Medtronic InStent EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent System is intended for use in the treatment of esophageal obstructions produced by malignant neoplasms. The Medtronic InStent EsophaCoil Proximal and Distal Extensions are intended for extending previously placed esophageal stents exhibiting tumor overgrowth or tumor ingrowth on the upper or lower portion of the existing stent respectively.

## Device Story

Self-expanding, tightly wound spiral Nitinol wire coil stent; flared ends for fixation. Extension systems feature single flared end for attachment to existing stents. Delivery catheter includes variable release handle with three independently sliding levers; allows sequential release (distal, center, or proximal). Used in clinical setting for esophageal obstruction treatment. Physician operates delivery system to deploy stent; provides mechanical patency to esophagus. Benefits patient by relieving obstruction caused by malignant neoplasms.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Corrosion testing performed to evaluate safety. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Self-expanding Nitinol wire coil; flared ends. Delivery system with variable release handle. Materials and sterilization methods identical to predicate. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

An esophageal prosthesis is a rigid, flexible, or expandable tubular device made of a plastic, metal, or polymeric material that is intended to be implanted to restore the structure and/or function of the esophagus. The metal esophageal prosthesis may be uncovered or covered with a polymeric material. This device may also include a device delivery system.

## Special Controls

The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notification Submissions for Esophageal and Tracheal Prostheses.”

## Name of Predicate Device B.

These devices are considered substantially equivalent to the Medtronic InStent EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent System. (K944187 and K955041)

## C. Device Description

The Medtronic InStent EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent is a self-expanding, tightly wound spiral Nitinol wire coil which is flared at both ends to enhance fixation. The EsophaCoil Extension is identical to the EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent except that only one end is flared. The non-flared end of the EsophaCoil Extension is inserted into an implanted esophageal stent to extend the length of the stent. The delivery catheter is identical to the currently marketed device. The variable release handle utilizes three independently sliding levers located on the catheter 's proximal end that can release the stent in any sequence order; distal release, center release, or proximal release depending upon which of the sliding levers is pulled first, second, or third.

## D. Intended Use

The Medtronic InStent EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent System is intended for use in the treatment of esophageal obstructions produced by malignant neoplasms.

The Medtronic InStent EsophaCoil Proximal and Distal Extensions are intended for extending previously placed esophageal stents exhibiting tumor overgrowth or tumor ingrowth on the upper or lower portion of the existing stent respectively.

{1}------------------------------------------------

# Summary of Technological Characteristics E.

The modified EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent is identical to the currently marketed device with the exception of the surface preparation. The EsophaCoil Extension Systems are identical to the currently marketed device with the exception that the EsophaCoil Extension has only one flared end, rather than two flared ends as in the EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent.

#### F. Non-Clinical and Clinical Test Summary

Corrosion testing was performed to evaluate the safety of the device. No other testing was deemed necessary for the new or modified devices.

#### G. Conclusions

Based on the testing performed and the nature of the changes, it was concluded that the modified devices are substantially equivalent to the currently marketed device. The construction, materials packaging and sterilization methods

#### H. Other Information

No other information was deemed necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence of the EsophaCoil Esophageal Stent modifications or the new models, the EsophaCoil Distal and Proximal Extension Systems.
