Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (Ercp) Cannula
Gastroenterology, Urology
The Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) Cannula (product code ODD) is a gastroenterology and urology device used during ERCP procedures to cannulate the bile duct or pancreatic duct for the identification of stones, tumors, or narrowings (strictures) in the biliary tree. The cannula is passed through the endoscope's working channel and into the ampulla of Vater. This device is FDA Class 2 under regulation 876.1500 in the Gastroenterology, Urology specialty, requiring 510(k) clearance and compliance with general and special controls. It carries no implant or life-sustaining flags.

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that a new 510(k) applicant uses to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The FDA's 510(k) pathway requires manufacturers to show that their device has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as one or more predicate devices already cleared for commercial distribution.
Finding the right predicate is a critical step in 510(k) strategy. Manufacturers typically search for cleared devices with the same FDA product code, which groups devices by their intended use and regulatory classification. This tool helps you identify potential predicates by browsing all clearances within a product code.
Note that predicate devices must be legally marketed — they cannot be devices that were cleared but never commercialized, or devices subject to a mandatory recall. The determination of substantial equivalence considers intended use, technological characteristics, and performance data.
