The device description focuses on mechanical components and operation, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature, which is a therapeutic procedure to remove plaque from blood vessels.
No
The ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System is described as a device for atherectomy, which is a procedure to remove plaque from blood vessels. Its components (catheter, cutter driver, mechanical cutter) are designed for a therapeutic intervention rather than for diagnosing a condition. The text explicitly states its use in "excision of atheroma" and "shaving plaque from the vessel wall."
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a catheter, mechanical cutter, drive shaft, and housing, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body to remove plaque from blood vessels.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical catheter system with a cutter designed to physically remove tissue from within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status. IVDs typically involve analyzing blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.
This device is a surgical/interventional device used directly on the patient for a therapeutic purpose.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System is intended for use in atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature. The catheter is not intended for use in the coronary or carotid vasculature.

Device Description
The ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System consists of two major components which are packaged separately but used together during atherectomy procedures. The two components are the ReFORM Peripheral Catheter and the ReFORM Cutter Driver.
The ReFORM Peripheral Catheter is comprised of a long, low-profile shaft at the end of which is a small mechanical cutter. The catheter is a monorail design which allows a single operator to insert and remove the device from the patient while maintaining guidewire position. A Cutter Driver controls the actuation of the cutting element. Excision of atheroma from the vessel is accomplished by a small spinning cylindrical blade contained within a cylindrical housing. Once the catheter is tracked to the target lesion, the tip is deflected, moving the cutter against the lesion. As the cutting blade spins, the device is advanced through the lesion, "shaving" plaque from the vessel wall. As the tissue is cut, it enters the device through a small opening just distal to the blade and is captured in the catheter tip and removed from the patient.
Technological Characteristics: ReFORM Peripheral Catheters consist of a braided drive shaft inside a Pebax/Nylon outer shaft, connecting to the cylindrical cutter and cylindrical cutter housing. The soft, flexible tip also provides an area for tissue collection. At the end of each cutting pass, the cutter advances into the soft tip "packing" tissue into the nosecone. The cutter housing is radiopaque due to plating with platinum which allows it to serve as an angiographic marker for easy positioning of the cutter blade within the lesion. ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System configurations covered under the subject 510(k) Premarket Notification include 7 F and 8 F sheath compatible diameter catheters in lengths of 135 cm and110 cm respectively.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Summary of the Non-Clinical Performance Data: Performance testing to support the safety and efficacy of the ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System has been performed and presented in the body of this 510(k). In addition, testing has been performed comparing the performance of the ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System with the DVI Simpson Atherocath™.
Clinical Data: As compared to the predicate devices the ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System has the same indications for use, the same general method of operation, is also for single use, is provided sterile, is comprised of the same general patient contact materials, and has the same device classifications and device codes therefore we believe minimal new clinical data is required. Animal test data and human clinical study safety data are included in the body of the submission.
Summary of the Non-clinical General Data: All applicable testing conformed to the requirements of 21 CFR Part 58 (Good Laboratory Practices) specifically, tests included biocompatibility, reliability, sterility and functional performance.

the lesion, "shaving" plaque from the vessel wall. As the tissue is cut, it enters the device through a small opening just distal to the blade and is captured in the catheter tip and removed from the patient.
Intended Use: The intended use of the ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System is identical to the approved indication for the Simpson Peripheral Atherocath™, which was found to be substantially equivalent to the Dotter Transluminal Dilatation Catheter, Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty Balloon Dilatation Catheters and Intraluminal Arterial Strippers (K871011 - May 14, 1987). Both the ReFORM Peripheral Catheter System and the Atherocath™ are designed for atherectomy of the peripheral vasculature and neither is intended for use in the coronary or carotid vasculature.
Technological Characteristics: ReFORM Peripheral Catheters consist of a braided drive shaft inside a Pebax/Nylon outer shaft, connecting to the cylindrical cutter and cylindrical cutter housing. The soft, flexible tip also provides an area for tissue collection. At the end of each cutting pass, the cutter advances into the soft tip "packing" tissue into the nosecone.

Dear Ms. Lommel:
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
