Intended Use
The VasCon Roamer Microcatheters are indicated for the selective infusion of various diagnostic, therapeutic, and embolic agents into the peripheral, coronary, and neurovasculature.
Device Description
The VasCon Roamer Microcatheters are single lumen catheters, incorporating a Pebax body reinforced with stainless steel and platinum wire, a PTFE lubricious inner lumen, and a soft radiopaque tip to reduce potential vessel injury. They are available in French sizes of 2.3/1.9, 2.8/2.3, 3.0/2.8, 2.4/2.0, and 2.8/2.7 and in lengths of 105 cm, 135 cm, and 150 cm. The inside diameters are 0.017, 0.019, 0.021, and 0.027 inches. They have a hydrophilic coating to provide lubricity during use.

No
The device description and summary of performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and material properties of a microcatheter, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is indicated for the selective infusion of therapeutic agents, but it is not a therapeutic device itself. It is a microcatheter designed to deliver other agents.

No

The device is a microcatheter used for the infusion of diagnostic, therapeutic, and embolic agents. While it can deliver diagnostic agents, it is not described as performing any diagnostic function itself (e.g., imaging, measuring, or analyzing).

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a Pebax body, stainless steel and platinum wire, PTFE lumen, and a radiopaque tip, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the VasCon Roamer Microcatheters are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "selective infusion of various diagnostic, therapeutic, and embolic agents into the peripheral, coronary, and neurovasculature." This describes a device used within the body for delivering substances, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels, with features like a lubricious inner lumen and a soft tip to reduce vessel injury. This aligns with an invasive medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status based on such analysis.

IVD devices are typically used to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The VasCon Roamer Microcatheter's function is to deliver substances directly into the body's vasculature.

Dear Dr. Vadas:

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 he 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
