More Information

Not Found

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts, and the device description and performance studies focus on mechanical functionality and drug delivery.

Yes
The device is used for the "delivery of drugs approved for epidural indications" and for "assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of disease," which are therapeutic applications.

Yes

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states: "The System may also be used for the purpose of assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of disease utilizing a caudal approach via the sacral hiatus." The phrase "assisting in the diagnosis" clearly indicates a diagnostic function for the device.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system "consists of several components and different accessories for delivery of approved epidural drugs," including a "disposable catheter, and various accessories," indicating it is a hardware-based system.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the delivery of drugs and assisting in the diagnosis and treatment of disease in the body (lumbar and sacral spine). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter system used for direct intervention within 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 in vitro diagnostics.

This device is an interventional medical device used for procedures within the patient's body, not for testing samples outside the body.

Dear Mr. Caparotta:

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659.
