Intended Use
The GORE VIABAHN® Endoprosthesis is indicated for the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures produced by malignant neoplasms.
Device Description
The VIABAHN™ Endoprosthesis is a self-expanding implantable endoprosthesis that is compressed and secured on the distal end of a catheter delivery system. The catheter delivery system provides a means for implanting the endoprosthesis at a target location within the tracheobronchial tract. The endoprosthesis consists of a fluoropolymeric tube with a within the factor over its external surface. The catheter delivery system is configured with radiopaque markers and is designed for use with guidewires.

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device and its delivery system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures produced by malignant neoplasms, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an implantable endoprosthesis for treating strictures, not for diagnosing them. Its function is interventional (treatment), not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, implantable endoprosthesis and a catheter delivery system, which are hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of tracheobronchial strictures. IVDs are used for the diagnosis of diseases or conditions.
  • Device Description: The device is an implantable endoprosthesis, a physical device used to treat a condition. IVDs are typically reagents, kits, or instruments used to analyze samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Anatomical Site: The device is implanted within the tracheobronchial tract, which is an internal anatomical site. While some IVDs might involve collecting samples from internal sites, the device itself is not used for analysis of these samples.

This device is a therapeutic device, specifically an implantable medical device used for treatment.

Dear Mr. Capehart:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 10, 2002.

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 (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 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 continue 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 (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
