Intended Use
The Intra-Aortic Balloon (IAB) is clinically indicated for the following conditions: a. Acute Coronary Syndrome b. Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery c. Complications of Heart Failure
Device Description
IAB's are designed to provide cardiac assist therapy. The devices are dual lumen percutaneously inserted Intra-Aortic IAB catheters, with two independent non-communicating lumen is comprised of an inflatable bladder connected to the catheter distal tip and to the IAB tip outer surface. The inner lumen is comprised of a luer adapter connected to the proximal end of the inner lumen and to the IAB tip inner surface. The IAB inner lumen is used for placement of the device with a guidewire and the outer lumen is used to shuttle helium gas to and from the inflatable bladder. IABs are timed to inflate within the aota during the diastolic relaxation of the heart and deflate during the systolic contraction of the heart, resulting in increased blood supply to the heart muscle and decreased work load for the left ventricle.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical function of the intra-aortic balloon and its timing based on the cardiac cycle, with no mention of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as providing "cardiac assist therapy" and improves physiological functions by increasing blood supply and decreasing cardiac workload, which are therapeutic actions.

No
The device description states that the IAB is "designed to provide cardiac assist therapy" by increasing blood supply and decreasing workload for the left ventricle, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly details a physical, percutaneously inserted catheter with an inflatable bladder and lumens for gas and guidewire, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as providing "cardiac assist therapy" for conditions like Acute Coronary Syndrome, Cardiac and Non-Cardiac Surgery, and Complications of Heart Failure. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical device (catheter with an inflatable bladder) that is inserted into the aorta to provide mechanical support to the heart. This is a medical device used in vivo (within the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is typically used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform such a function.

The information provided clearly indicates a therapeutic medical device used directly on a patient, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

§ 870.3535 Intra-aortic balloon and control system.

(a)
Identification. An intra-aortic balloon and control system is a prescription device that consists of an inflatable balloon, which is placed in the aorta to improve cardiovascular functioning during certain life-threatening emergencies, and a control system for regulating the inflation and deflation of the balloon. The control system, which monitors and is synchronized with the electrocardiogram, provides a means for setting the inflation and deflation of the balloon with the cardiac cycle.(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) when the device is indicated for acute coronary syndrome, cardiac and non-cardiac surgery, or complications of heart failure. The special controls for this device are:(i) Appropriate analysis and non-clinical testing must be conducted to validate electromagnetic compatibility and electrical safety of the device;
(ii) Software verification, validation, and hazard analysis must be performed;
(iii) The device must be demonstrated to be biocompatible;
(iv) Sterility and shelf-life testing must demonstrate the sterility of patient-contacting components and the shelf life of these components;
(v) Non-clinical performance evaluation of the device must demonstrate mechanical integrity, durability, and reliability to support its intended purpose; and
(vi) Labeling must include a detailed summary of the device- and procedure-related complications pertinent to use of the device.
(2) Class III (premarket approval) when the device is indicated for septic shock and pulsatile flow generation.
(c)
Date premarket approval application (PMA) or notice of completion of product development protocol (PDP) is required. A PMA or notice of completion of a PDP is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before March 31, 2014, for any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before March 31, 2014, been found to be substantially equivalent to any intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other intra-aortic balloon and control system indicated for septic shock or pulsatile flow generation shall have an approved PMA or declared completed PDP in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear William Paquin:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of May 6, 2004.

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
