Intended Use
The Arrow Ultra 8 Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheters (IAB) 8 Fr 30cc and 40cc Universal is clinically indicated for the following conditions: - a. Acute Coronary Syndrome b. Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery c. Complications of Heart Failure
Device Description
The device is a dual lumen percutaneously inserted Intra-Aortic IAB catheter, 8Fr. in size, with two independent non-communicating lumens. The outer lumen is comprised of an inflatable bladder connected to the catheter distal tip and to the IAB tip outer surface. The inner lumen is comprised of a Luer adapter connected to the proximal end of the inner lumen and to the IAB tip inner surface. The IAB inner lumen is used for placement of the device with a guidewire and the outer lumen is used to shuttle helium gas to and from the inflatable bladder. The IAB is timed to inflate in the aorta during the diastolic relaxation of the heart and deflate during the systolic contraction of the heart, resulting in increased blood supply to the heart muscle and decreased work load for the left ventricle. The catheter is available in an 8Fr. 30cc and 40cc sizes, and is identical in appearance and function to the predicate devices.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the catheter and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.

Yes
The device is clinically indicated for conditions like Acute Coronary Syndrome and Complications of Heart Failure, and its function involves increasing blood supply to the heart and decreasing the workload of the left ventricle, which are therapeutic effects.

No

The device is an Intra-Aortic Balloon (IAB) Catheter used to assist heart function by inflating and deflating in the aorta to improve blood supply and decrease workload. Its function is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with lumens, an inflatable bladder, and connections for guidewires and gas, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use describes the device being used in vivo (inside the body) to treat conditions like Acute Coronary Syndrome, Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery, and Complications of Heart Failure. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter inserted into the aorta to assist heart function. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one that analyzes samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Arrow Ultra 8 Intra-Aortic Balloon Catheters are therapeutic medical devices, not IVDs.

§ 870.3535 Intra-aortic balloon and control system.

(a)
Identification. An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, or complications of heart failure. The special controls for this device are:(i) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must be conducted to validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the device;
(ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed;
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iv) Sterility and shelf-life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components;
(v) Non-clinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate mechanical integrity, durability, and reliability to support its intended purpose; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is indicated for septic shock and pulsatile flow generation.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 31, 2014, for any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear William Paquin:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 19, 2000.

We have reviewed your Section 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 marketed 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act
