Intended Use
The PolarCath™ Peripheral Dilatation System is indicated to dilate stenosis in the peripheral vasculature (subclavian, renal, iliac, femoral, popliteal, and infrapopliteal arteries) and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) access grafts or native arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. The PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System is also indicated for postdeployed stent expansion in self-expanding peripheral vascular stents.

No
The summary describes a mechanical balloon catheter system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is indicated to dilate stenosis in the peripheral vasculature and treat obstructive lesions, directly addressing a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a system for dilating stenosis and treating obstructive lesions, as well as for post-deployed stent expansion. Its intended use is therapeutic, not diagnostic, as it does not gather or analyze data for the purpose of identifying a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including a catheter, inflation unit, connecting cable, battery pack, recharging unit, battery receptacle, and a disposable cylinder for the inflation medium.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a procedure performed within the body (in vivo) to dilate blood vessels and grafts. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (in vitro), such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device components are designed for a surgical or interventional procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or laboratory procedures, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the PolarCath Peripheral Dilatation System is a medical device used for therapeutic intervention within the body, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Tompkins:

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 may or daily of 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. 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. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
