Intended Use
The Edwards Lifesciences Vantex Central Venous Catheters with Thermistor are indicated for use in patients requiring administration of solutions, blood sampling, temperature monitoring, and central venous pressure monitoring.
Device Story
The Edwards Lifesciences Vantex Central Venous Catheter with Thermistor (VCVC-T) is an intravascular therapeutic short-term catheter used for central venous access. It facilitates solution infusion, blood sampling, central venous pressure monitoring, and central venous temperature monitoring. The device features a multi-lumen configuration (3 infusion lumens, 1 thermistor lumen, 1 isolation lumen) and incorporates a thermistor at the distal end, secured by a potting material. It is intended for use by clinicians in a hospital setting. The thermistor provides temperature data to external monitoring equipment, allowing for continuous temperature assessment alongside standard venous access functions. The device benefits patients by combining traditional venous access capabilities with integrated temperature monitoring in a single catheter.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Functional and biocompatibility testing were performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence.
Technological Characteristics
Multi-lumen catheter (3 infusion, 1 thermistor, 1 isolation). Includes integrated thermistor at distal end secured with potting material. Larger diameter than predicate Vantex catheters. Class II device (21 CFR 880.5200).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring administration of solutions, blood sampling, temperature monitoring, and central venous pressure monitoring.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intravascular catheter is a device that consists of a slender tube and any necessary connecting fittings and that is inserted into the patient's vascular system for short term use (less than 30 days) to sample blood, monitor blood pressure, or administer fluids intravenously. The device may be constructed of metal, rubber, plastic, or a combination of these materials.

| Trade Name: | Edwards Lifesciences Vantex Central Venous Catheters<br>with Thermistor (abbreviated to VCVC-T) |
| Common Name: | Intravascular Therapeutic Short-Term Catheter (21 CFR<br>880.5200) |
| Predicate<br>Devices: | Edwards Lifesciences Vantex Central Venous Catheters<br>with Oligon material |
| | Edwards Lifesciences Swan-Ganz True-Size<br>Thermodilution Catheters. |
| Device<br>Description: | The VCVC-T are used to access the central vein, infuse<br>solutions, take blood samples, measure central venous<br>temperature, and monitor central venous pressures. |
| Indications for<br>Use: | The VCVC-T are indicated for use in patients requiring<br>administration of solutions, blood sampling, temperature<br>monitoring, and central venous pressure monitoring. |
| Comparative<br>Analysis: | The VCVC-T add a new intended use (temperature<br>monitoring) compared to the Vantex Central Venous<br>Catheters. It accomplishes this new use by a different<br>lumen configuration (3 infusion lumens, 1 thermistor<br>lumen, and 1 isolation lumen), the addition of a<br>thermistor, and a larger diameter than the Vantex Central<br>Venous Catheters. The VCVC-T also has a new material,<br>a potting material used to secure the thermistor at its distal<br>end. |

The VCVC-T have successfully undergone functional and Functional/Safety biocompatibility testing. Testing:
The VCVC-T are substantially equivalent to the predicate Conclusion: devices.

Dear Mr. Smith:
We have reviewed your Scction 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally markcted predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
