Intended Use
The SuperCross Catheter is intended to negotiate stenotic or tortuous lesions of the iliac, femoral, popliteal, tibial and renal arteries in order to facilitate placement and positioning of other catheters. The SuperCross Catheter is not intended for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature. The SuperCross Catheter is not intended for use to dilate lesions.
Device Description
The SuperCross Catheter features a 7 French compatible hydrophilically coated stainless steel braided polyimide and polyurethane shaft, which is attached to a steerable dilator at the distal end of the device. The proximal end of the shaft is connected to a handle and rotating hemostasis valve assembly. The dilator consists of two halves. One half articulates about a hinge pin and the other half is fixed to the shaft. The dilator is actuated by a wire connected to a lever and it may be rotated 360 degrees with the control of the shaft. A guidewire lumen through the device accepts a non-polymer coated 0.018" guide wire.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical catheter with no mention of AI/ML features or data processing capabilities.

No
The device is described as facilitating placement and positioning of other catheters, not directly treating a disease or condition. Its intended use explicitly states it is "not intended for use to dilate lesions," which supports its role as an access and support device rather than a therapeutic one.

No
The SuperCross Catheter is intended to facilitate the placement and positioning of other catheters to negotiate stenotic or tortuous lesions, not to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a shaft, dilator, handle, and valve assembly, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used within the body to facilitate the placement of other catheters in specific arteries. This is an in vivo application.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used to perform tests outside the body on samples taken from a patient. This device is used inside the body for a procedural purpose.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Perclose has submitted information on the indication for use, design, principle of operation, biocompatibility and performance characteristics to establish that the SuperCross Catheter is equivalent to currently marketed predicate device.

The SuperCross Catheter has the same intended use and technological characteristics as the predicate device (K001856). Results of scientific testing have ensured that all materials are biocompatible, no new adverse effects were introduced and physical properties are appropriate for the intended use.

In conclusion, the SuperCross Catheter has been shown to be equivalent to the Class II predicate, the previous generation SuperCross Catheter, on which the device is based.

Dear Ms. Ciucci:

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.

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.
