Intended Use
The Radius Micro Snare is intended for use to retrieve and/or manipulate objects in the distal peripheral vessels of the cardiovascular system and hollow viscus. Manipulation procedures include retrieval and/or repositioning of intravascular foreign objects such as coils, balloons, catheters and/or guidewires within the peripheral and cardiovascular system.
Device Description
The Radius Micro Snare is composed of two primary parts: an outer sheath tube and a core wire with a snare attached to the distal end. The outer sheath acts as a catheter through which the core wire, with snare, slides. The outer sheath is a stainless steel tube joined to a polyimide tube. The stainless steel and polyimide tubes are covered with PTFE. The stainless steel core is a solid .008" diameter stainless steel core that is a smaller version of the solid core wire in the FDA cleared Radius PTCA Guidewire and the FDA cleared Radius Snare. A stainless steel loop is soldered to the distal end of the core. The Radius Micro Snare has loop sizes, which range from 2 - 7 millimeters. The over-all length of the device is 190 centimeters. A molded ABS operating handle is included on the proximal end of the Micro Snare to aid in advancing and retracting the outer sheath over the snare loop. The Radius Micro Snare will be packaged in a Mylar/Tyvek pouch and ETO sterilized to SAL 10-6.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
This device is intended to retrieve and/or manipulate foreign objects within the body, which is a surgical/interventional tool rather than a therapeutic treatment itself.

No

The device is described as being used to retrieve and/or manipulate objects within the body, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (outer sheath tube, core wire, snare, handle) and materials (stainless steel, polyimide, PTFE, ABS), indicating it is a hardware 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 the device is for "retrieval and/or manipulate objects in the distal peripheral vessels of the cardiovascular system and hollow viscus." This describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo), not on samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device designed for insertion into vessels, consisting of a sheath, core wire, and snare. This is consistent with an interventional medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Radius Micro Snare is an interventional medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

  • Identification of Predicate or Legally Marketed Device 3.
    The Radius Micro Snare is substantially equivalent to the Microvena Amplatz Goose Neck Micro Snare (K970688), the Radius Snare (K021441) and the Radius PTCA Guidewire (K970466).

    1. Device Description
      The Radius Micro Snare is composed of two primary parts: an outer sheath tube and a core wire with a snare attached to the distal end. The outer sheath acts as a catheter through which the core wire, with snare, slides.

The outer sheath is a stainless steel tube joined to a polyimide tube. The stainless steel and polyimide tubes are covered with PTFE.

The stainless steel core is a solid .008" diameter stainless steel core that is a smaller version of the solid core wire in the FDA cleared Radius PTCA Guidewire

and the FDA cleared Radius Snare. A stainless steel loop is soldered to the distal end of the core. The Radius Micro Snare has loop sizes, which range from 2 - 7 millimeters. The over-all length of the device is 190 centimeters. A molded ABS operating handle is included on the proximal end of the Micro Snare to aid in advancing and retracting the outer sheath over the snare loop.

The Radius Micro Snare will be packaged in a Mylar/Tyvek pouch and ETO sterilized to SAL 10-6.

  • న్. Intended Use
    The Radius Micro Snare is intended for use to retrieve and/or manipulate objects in the distal peripheral vessels of the cardiovascular system and hollow viscus. Manipulation procedures include retrieval and/or repositioning of intravascular foreign objects such as coils, balloons, catheters and/or guidewires within the peripheral and cardiovascular system.

    1. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
      The Radius Micro Snare is substantially equivalent in material, design and function to the following predicate devices: the Microvena Amplatz Goose Neck Micro Snare (K970688), the Radius Snare (K021441), and the Radius PTCA Guidewire (K970466).

The Radius Micro Snare is similar in materials, function and design to predicate Radius PTCA Guidewire (K970466) and Radius Snare (K021441). The Radius Micro Snare uses the Radius PTCA Guidewire as its base and adds a snare onto the distal tip of the core guidewire.

The design and function of the Radius Micro Snare is the same as the Microvena Amplatz Goose Neck Micro Snare (K970668). Both are delivered via a cathether/outer sheath tube and both have a snare at the distal end. The intended use of both devices is the same: to retrieve and/or manipulate objects in the distal peripheral vessels of the cardiovascular system and hollow viscus.

    1. Performance Testing
      The following in vitro performance tests were performed on the Radius Micro Snare:

Tensile Strength Torque Strength Tip Flexibility Biocompatability

Dear Ms. Finlayson:

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
