Intended Use
The ELPH Injection System is a contrast delivery system which is designed to inject radiopaque contrast media into a patient's vascular system to obtain diagnostic images when used with computed tomography (i.e. "CT") equipment.
Device Description
The ELPH Injection System will deliver radiographic contrast media at a controlled flow rate and volume into a patient's vascular system for the purpose of obtaining enhanced diagnostic images. The ELPH is made up of the following major components: Power Head, Power Pack, Remote Console (Optional), Syringes.
More Information

No
The summary describes a contrast injection system with standard components and functions, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML development.

No.
The device is used to inject contrast media for diagnostic imaging purposes, not for treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is a contrast delivery system used to inject radiopaque contrast media to obtain diagnostic images, but it does not perform the diagnostic imaging or analysis itself. It facilitates diagnostic imaging performed by other equipment (CT).

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components (Power Head, Power Pack, Remote Console, Syringes) that are integral to the device's function of injecting contrast media.

Based on the provided information, the ELPH Injection System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens derived from the human body in order to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This typically involves tests performed on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., outside of the living body.
  • ELPH System Function: The ELPH Injection System is designed to inject contrast media directly into a patient's vascular system (in vivo) to enhance diagnostic images obtained through CT. It is a delivery system for a substance used in imaging, not a device that analyzes biological specimens.

Therefore, the ELPH Injection System falls under the category of medical devices used in vivo for diagnostic imaging procedures, not in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description

The ELPH Injection System will deliver radiographic contrast media at a controlled flow rate and volume into a patient's vascular system for the purpose of obtaining enhanced diagnostic images. The ELPH is made up of the following major components:

Power Head- Contains the electromechanical syringe drive system, the syringe holding mechanism, the main microprocessor, control electronics, control keypad for programming and initiating injection protocols, a status display, and a purge/retract trigger.

Power Pack- Contains the power supply and interface. The interface is made up of relays and optical couplings that provide communication between devices. One use for the interface is to harmonize two injectors so as to provide greater contrast volume capability or a flushing solution.

Remote Console (Optional)- Communicates with the Power Head to program and initiate injection protocols, displays the injection status, and displays a timer.

Syringes- Accommodates the Mallinckrodt 125-ml pre-filled syringe styles. It is also accommodates the Liebel-Flarsheim 130-ml syringe (Part Number 600172). These syringes are commonplace on the market.

8. Substantial Equivalence

The Predicate device to the ELPH Injection System is the CT 8000 Digital Injection System (K912944), currently marketed under the name CT 9000ADV. The predicate device is designed to meet both the ordinary needs of the market as well as advanced needs. The ELPH on the other hand is designed to meet only the ordinary needs and is therefore less expensive, smaller and less complicated to operate. Features such as stored protocols, multi-phasic injections, high flow rate, and optional printer have been omitted in order to reduce cost and simplify the user interface.

With an optional interface, the ELPH Injection System may be joined with another ELPH Injector or other compatible injector. Interfacing two injectors and connecting the syringes through "Y" tubing enables greater deliverable X-ray contrast volumes. Interfacing two ELPH Injection Systems provides a maximum of 260-ml capability, while the predicate injector is limited to 200-ml. The Angiomat CT contrast injector (K860204) has been marketed by Liebel-Flarsheim and is capable of delivering up to 260-ml of contrast. The package insert for the X-ray contrast media defines the maximum allowable dose based on patient parameters.

Another application for interfacing two injectors is to provide a means to automatically flush the injection site before and/or after a contrast injection. This would be accomplished by filling one of the syringes with a flushing agent, normally saline. With the predicate device, the flush is done manually with a separate hand-held flushing syringe. Automatic flushing capability is available on other marketed injectors such as the Optistar MR Injection System, 510(k) number K984088.

Dear Mr. Rogers:

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
