The summary describes a physical medical device (vena cava filter and retrieval set) and its clinical performance, with no mention of software, algorithms, AI, or ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for the prevention of recurrent pulmonary embolism by placement in the vena cava, which directly addresses a health condition.
No
The device, a vena cava filter, is used for the prevention of pulmonary embolism by physically blocking clots, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is an inferior vena cava filter and retrieval set, which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Device Function: The Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter Set and Retrieval Set is a device that is implanted into the vena cava (a blood vessel) to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs. The retrieval set is used to remove the implanted filter.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the prevention of pulmonary embolism by physically filtering blood within the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical filter and retrieval tools, not equipment for analyzing biological samples.
The device is a therapeutic and interventional medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

To evaluate the safety of retrieving the Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter, a clinical study was conducted in which 41 patients [female (n=19); male (n=22)] were enrolled for possible retrieval of the filter.
Summary of Performance Studies
Clinical study:
Sample size: 41 patients (19 female, 22 male) were enrolled for possible retrieval of the filter. Retrieval was attempted in 26 patients and was successful.
Key results: No adverse events were reported in the retrieved filter group. 23 patients in whom a filter was retrieved were followed for three months post retrieval with no abnormalities reported. Results from the clinical study showed that the filter could be safely retrieved up to 14 days or longer in patients who no longer required an inferior vena cava filter. Time to retrieval ranged from 2-20 days with a mean implantation time of 11.4 days.

Device Description:
The Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter and Retrieval Set is an inferior vena cava filter with a radiopaque band at the tip, which can be introduced via either femoral or jugular vein. The radiopaque retrieval catheter has a braided platinum loop at the distal end.
Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device is similar with respect to intended use, materials and functional characteristics of commercially available predicate devices in terms of section 510(k) substantial equivalence; any differences that may exist do not significantly affect the safety and effectiveness of the device.
Test Data:
The Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter and Retrieval Set have been subjected to and have passed the following tests to ensure reliable design and performance under the specified testing parameters:
Filter Set:
- · Biocompatibility
- Material and stress analysis tests
- · Clinical experience
Retrieval Set:
- · Biocompatibility
- · Tensile
- Clinical evaluation
Clinical Experience:
To evaluate the safety of retrieving the Günther Tulip™ Vena Cava Filter, a clinical study was conducted in which 41 patients [female (n=19); male (n=22)] were enrolled for possible retrieval of the filter. Indications for placement of retrievable filter in the study included: bleeding while anticoagulated (n=2), recent bleeding not anticoagulated (n=0), prophylactic pre-op (n=12), prophylactic post-op (n=3), failure of anticoagulation resulting in recurrent PE (n=1), failure of anticoagulation resulting in extension of DVT (n=0), prophylaxis following PE (n=3), prophylaxis with extensive DVT (n=3), trauma (n=13) and other (n=4).
Retrieval was not attempted in 15 patients due to the continued need for permanent implantation of the filter. A total of 26 attempted retrievals in 26 patients were successful. [n= number of filters retrieved] Retrieval of filter immediately after deployment at Day 0 (n=1), Day 2 (n=1), Day 7 (n=1), Day 9 (n=3), Day 10 (n=6), Day 11(n=2), Day 12 (n=1), Day 13 (n=4), Day 14 (n=6), Day 20 (n=1). No adverse events were reported in the retrieved filter group. 23 patients in whom a filter was retrieved were followed for three months post retrieval with no abnormalities reported. Results from the clinical study showed that the filter could be safely retrieved up to 14 days or longer in patients who no longer required an inferior vena cava filter. Time to retrieval ranged from 2-20 days with a mean implantation time of 11.4 days.

Dear Ms. Bosley:
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.
