Intended Use
The Kerberos Proximal Solutions Rinspiration System is intended to infuse and aspirate physician specified fluid in the coronary and peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The system consists of a Rinspiration™ Catheter, and a Rinspirator™ with accessories, The Rinspiration Catheter is a multi-lumen, rail configuration catheter that has perforations located near the distal end of the catheter to dispense an infusible fluid. The Rinspiration Catheter will be placed in the vasculature of a patient over a quide wire. The Rinspiration Catheter is offered with a standard tip and a short tip. The catheter includes a radiopaque marker band at the distal tip and two radiopaque marker bands designating the infusion portion of the catheter. The catheter has a hub on the proximal end that allows access to the infusion and aspiration lumens. The Rinspirator and accessories is a sterile, single-use mechanical device. This hand activated device allows for simultaneous infusion and aspiration of fluids at the treatment site. The device activates two syringes, one for infusion and one for aspiration. This simultaneous infusion and aspiration action is known as "Rinspiration."
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and fluid dynamics, with no mention of AI/ML or data processing for decision-making.

Yes.
The device is intended for simultaneous infusion and aspiration of fluids in the coronary and peripheral vasculature, which suggests a therapeutic action aimed at treating conditions within those bodily systems.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an infusion and aspiration system for fluids in the vasculature, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its purpose is to deliver and remove substances, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical hardware components: a catheter and a mechanical hand-activated device (Rinspirator) with accessories. There is no mention of software as a component of the system.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "infuse and aspirate physician specified fluid in the coronary and peripheral vasculature." This describes a therapeutic or procedural action performed directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter and a mechanical hand-activated device used for simultaneous infusion and aspiration within the vasculature. This is a medical device used for a procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is entirely procedural and involves direct interaction with the patient's circulatory system.

Dear Mr. Mason:

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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. 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.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling:

In bold and first to appear in the Warnings section:

WARNINGS:

The safety and effectiveness of the Kerberos Proximal Solutions Rinspiration System have NOT been established for use as thrombectomy or embolic protection. Complications from the use of this device in this manner could lead to death, permanent impairment, and/or the need for emergency medical intervention.

3

Please note that the above labeling limitations are required by Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act. Therefore, a new 510(k) is required before these limitations are modified in any way or removed from the device's labeling.

The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and permits your device to proceed to the market. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification if the limitation statement described above is added to your labeling.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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 (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific information about the application of other labeling requirements to your device (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4692. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International, and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html.
