The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and packaging of a standard peelable introducer, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is an introducer for inserting pacing leads or catheters, it does not directly provide therapy.
No.
The device is described as an introducer for percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, tubular-shaped device with integrated handles and a "tear-away" feature, intended for percutaneous insertion. It is packaged in configurations that include physical components like needles, syringes, and guidewires. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, the MedAmicus FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters in the venous system." This describes a device used within the body for a medical procedure, not a device used to test samples outside the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
- Device Description: The description details a physical device designed for insertion into the venous system and removal after the procedure. This aligns with a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
Therefore, the MedAmicus FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not an IVD.

Device Description
The MedAmicus FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer is a small diameter tubular shaped device with integrated proximal handles. The FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer is designed to provide a relatively atraumatic method for implanting catheters and pacemaker leads into the venous system. The FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer has a "teat-away" feature common to the predicate devices. This feature allows the user to remove the introducer without removing the inserted catheter or pacing lead. The MedAmicus FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer is packaged in three configurations: 1) a convenience kit containing a MedAmicus FlowGuard 100 Peelable Introducer, a thin-wall needle, a disposable syringe, and a flexible guidewire, packaged in a tray and a sealed pouch. 2) individually pouched, sterile MedAmicus FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducer and 3) bulk, nonsterile MedAmicus FlowGuard™ Peelable Introducers.

Summary of Performance Studies
Design Verification of the device is not required as there are no design modifications to the device. A packaging validation will be completed for the individually pouched, sterile introducers to ensure that there is no effect on the safety and effectiveness of the device. This validation will be completed based on a Risk Analysis per internal procedures that are compliant with European Standard EN1441: 1998 Medical Devices - Risk Analysis. This Risk Analysis was completed by comparing the risks associated with the new packaging configurations with the currently approved convenience kit packaging. This validation is summarized in Section X of this submission.

Dear Mr. Haskell:
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 (OS) 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) 594-4646. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
