Spring loaded pneumoperitoneum needle, reusable

A slender, sharply pointed metal tube designed to introduce or remove gas from the peritoneal cavity as a therapeutic or surgical/radiological procedural method. It is often inserted into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation [e.g., with carbon dioxide (CO2)] to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to abdominal endoscopy.

138

Static magnetic anal plug

A non sterile magnetic device designed to be inserted into the rectum by the user and retained there for a specified period of time (e.g., 1 to 2 hours per day for 10 to 20 days) to help reduce anal haemorrhoids with magnetism.

B

139

Stoma drainage catheter

A sterile flexible tube that is inserted into a stoma (an artificial opening in the body, especially in the abdominal wall, made during a surgical procedure) to drain bodily waste from an internal stoma container; normally directly into the toilet.

B

140

Stoma support implant

A sterile, non bioabsorbable device intended to be implanted into the abdominal wall during a gastro urological ostomy procedure to reduce the risk of parastomal hernia by supporting the abdominal wall surrounding the stoma.

Thermal regulation orogastric tube

A non sterile, multi lumen, multi purpose tube intended for oral introduction into the gastrointestinal (GI) tract for both: 1) enteral feeding/gastric decompression; and 2) thermal regulation of the whole body via thermal transfer across the oesophagus (to lower and alternatively elevate core body temperature).

144

Transenteric drainage tube

A sterile non bioabsorbable tube intended to be endoscopically implanted transmurally between the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and a pancreatic pseudocyst or the biliary tract for drainage.

C

145

Video capsule endoscopy system

An assembly of electronic devices designed for the internal visualization and examination of sections of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract using a non digestible video capsule after it has been swallowed by a patient.

B

146

Video capsule endoscopy system application software

An individual software application program or group of programs, routines or algorithms that add specific computer assisted display, processing and analysis capabilities to a video capsule endoscopy system.

B

147

Video capsule endoscopy system capsule

A non sterile, battery powered, electronic component device of a video capsule endoscopy system designed to be swallowed by a patient for the internal visualization and examination of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

150

Intestinal stoma shield/support belt, reusable

A non sterile plate, typically with a waist belt for attachment, intended to be placed over an enteric stoma (surgically created artificial opening between the intestines and the body surface through which bodily waste is drained) to protect it from harmful external influences (e.g., knocks, friction), to reduce the risk of stomal herniation, or to help maintain adhesion of the base plate to the skin.

151

Nasogastric tube holder, intranasal

A non sterile, non surgically invasive device intended to be used to secure a nasogastric tube to the nose of a patient to prevent displacement or removal of the tube.
