Intended Use
The Sterling OTW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is indicated for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature, including iliac, femoral, ilio-femoral, popliteal and renal arteries, and for the treatment of obstructive lesions of native or synthetic arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. This device is also indicated for post-dilatation of balloon expandable and self-expanding stents in the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The Sterling OTW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is an Over-The-Wire catheter with a semi-compliant balloon fixed at the distal tip. The balloon catheter has a coaxial shaft design. The outer lumen is used for inflation of the balloon, and the wire lumen permits the use of 0.014 in/0.018 in (0.36 mm/0.46 mm) guidewires to facilitate advancement of the catheter to and through the stenosis to be dilated. The balloon is designed to provide an inflatable segment of known diameter and length at recommended pressures. Two radiopaque marker bands (one proximal and one distal), in conjunction with fluoroscopy, enable accurate positioning of the balloon. The working lengths of the balloon catheter are 40 cm, 80 cm and 135 cm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical components and function of a balloon catheter, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

Yes
The device is used for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) to treat obstructive lesions in the peripheral vasculature and arteriovenous dialysis fistulae, which are therapeutic procedures aimed at restoring blood flow.

No

This device is a therapeutic device (balloon dilatation catheter) used for angioplasty and post-dilatation of stents, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, guidewire lumen, and radiopaque markers, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty (PTA) in the peripheral vasculature and for treating obstructive lesions in arteriovenous dialysis fistulae. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a balloon catheter designed to be inserted into blood vessels to dilate them. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for analyzing samples from the body.
  • No mention of analyzing samples: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. There is no indication that this device performs any such analysis.

Therefore, the Sterling OTW PTA Balloon Dilatation Catheter is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Montibriand:

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.
