Intended Use
The UltraFlow™ HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheter is intended for the controlled selective infusion of physician-specified pharmacologic agents or contrast media into the distal vasculature of the peripheral and neuro anatomy. It is not intended for use in the coronary vasculature.
Device Description
The UltraFlow™ HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheters are single-lumen, endhole catheters designed for the subselective infusion of physician-specified pharmacologic agents or contrast media in tortuous, distal vessels. The catheters have a semi-rigid proximal shaft and a highly flexible distal shaft to facilitate the advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The proximal end of the catheter incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories. The catheter has a radiopaque marker at the distal end to facilitate fluoroscopic visualization. The outer surfaces of the catheter are coated to increase lubricity. The stylet accompanying the catheter is used to increase the rigidity of the distal section during introduction into the guiding catheter.
More Information

No
The document describes a physical catheter and its mechanical properties, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No.
This device is described as a micro catheter intended for infusing pharmacologic agents or contrast media, not for direct therapeutic action itself.

No
The device is described as a micro catheter intended for the controlled selective infusion of pharmacologic agents or contrast media. Its purpose is therapeutic or for imaging facilitation (contrast delivery), not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter with a lumen, shaft, luer adapter, radiopaque marker, and coating, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The UltraFlow™ HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheter is used for the infusion of substances directly into the body's vasculature. It is a delivery device, not a device that analyzes samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "controlled selective infusion of physician-specified pharmacologic agents or contrast media into the distal vasculature." This is an in-vivo (within the living body) procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for navigating and delivering substances within blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the UltraFlow™ HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheter is a medical device used for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures performed within the body, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

DEVICE
DESCRIPTIONThe UltraFlow™ HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheters are single-lumen, endhole
catheters designed for the subselective infusion of physician-specified
pharmacologic agents or contrast media in tortuous, distal vessels. The catheters
have a semi-rigid proximal shaft and a highly flexible distal shaft to facilitate the
advancement of the catheter in the anatomy. The proximal end of the catheter
incorporates a standard luer adapter to facilitate the attachment of accessories.
The catheter has a radiopaque marker at the distal end to facilitate fluoroscopic
visualization. The outer surfaces of the catheter are coated to increase lubricity.

SUMMARY OF
SUBSTANTIAL
EQUIVALENCEThe UltraFlow™ HPC Flow Directed Micro Catheter is the same device as the
Modified FlowRider™ Flow Directed Micro Catheter (K010004). This
submission has been made to change the device name as it appears on the CDRH
database for Premarket Notification decisions.
Minor enhancements to the design would normally have required letters to file
based upon FDA's guidance document "Deciding When To Submit a 510(k) for a
change to an Existing device", January 10, 1997 and are being presented here for
information purposes only.

Dear Mr. Hyatt:

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
