Intended Use
The In-Time™ Retrieval Device is designed for use with a guiding catheter for the retrieval of intravascular foreign objects such as coils, balloons, portions of catheters and / or loop wires misplaced during interventional radiologic procedures in peripheral, neuro and cardiovasculature.
Device Description
The In-Time™ Retrieval Device consists of a braided catheter shaft, with a radiopaque basket attached to the distal tip of the catheter. The inner lumen of the catheter contains a flexible, guiding corewire, which is tapered from the proximal to distal end. The corewire extends distally 3 cm from the basket and is not removable from the catheter. The corewire can be rotated freely as well as moved distally and proximally within the catheter approximately 1.5 cm. The 3 cm radiopaque distal coil extending from the basket facilitates fluoroscopic visualization. A luer fitting is located on the catheter hub and is used for the attachment of accessories and to facilitate the continuous flush of solution. The catheter shaft is coated with HYDROLENE™, a hydrophilic coating that reduces friction during manipulation in a guide catheter and in blood vessels. The In-Time™ Retrieval Device is designed to be used with a guide catheter. The In-Time™ Retrieval Device can be used in vessel diameters ranging from 2 mm to 4 mm.

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and functionality for foreign object retrieval, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is designed for the retrieval of foreign objects, not for the treatment or diagnosis of a disease or condition in itself. It is an instrument used to correct an issue rather than provide therapy.

No

This device is designed for the retrieval of foreign objects from the body, which is a therapeutic or interventional procedure, not a diagnostic one. It does not provide information about a patient's condition or diagnose a disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a braided catheter shaft, radiopaque basket, corewire, luer fitting, and hydrophilic coating, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed for the retrieval of intravascular foreign objects during interventional radiologic procedures. This is a physical intervention within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (catheter, basket, corewire) used for mechanical retrieval.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a therapeutic or interventional purpose.

Device Description

The In-Time™ Retrieval Device consists of a braided catheter shaft, with a radiopaque basket attached to the distal tip of the catheter. The inner lumen of the catheter contains a flexible, guiding corewire, which is tapered from the proximal to distal end. The corewire extends distally 3 cm from the basket and is not removable from the catheter. The corewire can be rotated freely as well as moved distally and proximally within the catheter approximately 1.5 cm. The 3 cm radiopaque distal coil extending from the basket facilitates fluoroscopic visualization. A luer fitting is located on the catheter hub and is used for the attachment of accessories and to facilitate the continuous flush of solution. The catheter shaft is coated with HYDROLENE™, a hydrophilic coating that reduces friction during manipulation in a guide catheter and in blood vessels. The In-Time™ Retrieval Device is designed to be used with a guide catheter. The In-Time™ Retrieval Device can be used in vessel diameters ranging from 2 mm to 4 mm. Each In-Time™ Retrieval Device is packaged with the following accessory items: catheter introducer, shaping mandrel, torquer and Rotating Hemostatic Valve (RHV). The items are sealed in a sterile pouch located within the larger pouch. All component materials of the In-Time™ Retreival Device are biocompatible in accordance with ISO 10993-1.

Dear Mr. Schulman:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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 and 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.
