Intended Use
The Guidant Guiding Catheter is intended to access the coronary venous system, and may be used as a dual-catheter assembly. The catheter serves as a conduit for the delivery of contrast medium and devices, including implantable coronary venous leads, introduced into the coronary venous system.
Device Description
The RAPIDO Guiding Catheters are available in two French sizes (6F and 8F). The 6F RAPIDO Guiding Catheter has a standard working length of 69 cm. The 8F RAPIDO Guiding Catheter has as standard working length of 47 cm.

No
The summary describes a physical guiding catheter and its intended use, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is a guiding catheter used to access the coronary venous system and deliver contrast medium and other devices, rather than directly treating a disease or condition. It serves as a tool for a procedure, not a therapeutic agent itself.

No

This device is described as a guiding catheter intended to access the coronary venous system and serve as a conduit for delivery of contrast medium and other devices. Its purpose is to facilitate access and delivery, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter, which is a hardware component.

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 in vivo (within the body) to access the coronary venous system and deliver other devices and contrast medium. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, urine, or tissue.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter with specific sizes and lengths, designed for insertion into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, the Guidant Guiding Catheter is a medical device used for interventional procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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

Testing demonstrated that the 6F/8F RAPIDO Guiding Catheters met the acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate device (EASYTRAK Guiding Catheter). No new safety or effectiveness issues were raised during the testing program. The 6F/8F RAPIDO Guiding Catheter may be considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Alsop:

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.
