Intended Use
Used for emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation and ventilation cannot be performed.
Device Description
The Arndt Cricothyroid Catheter consists of a connector on the proximal end connected to tubing with an inner diameter. Through the catheter lumen is a dilator. The dilator provides a transition to a wire guide for insertion. The device is placed using the Seldinger technique. The catheter will be included in a set consisting of appropriately sized components.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a mechanical device used for airway access and mentions the Seldinger technique, which is a manual procedure. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven components.

Yes
The device is used for emergency airway access and facilitates ventilation, which directly addresses a physiological dysfunction (inability to breathe) and restores a normal bodily function. This aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is used for emergency airway access, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one. It facilitates ventilation when conventional methods fail.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, connector, tubing, dilator, and wire guide, 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: The intended use is for "emergency airway access when conventional endotracheal intubation and ventilation cannot be performed." This describes a surgical or procedural intervention performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter, dilator, and wire guide used for insertion into the body using the Seldinger technique. This is consistent with a medical device used for a procedure, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is to establish an airway, which is a therapeutic/procedural action, not a diagnostic one.

Dear Ms. Masten:

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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit/tray. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

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 or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration (21 CFR Part 807); listing (21 CFR Part 807), labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. If you desire specific advice for your device on the labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally Part 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4648. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
