Intended Use
The Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter is indicated for temporary occlusion of blood flow and to serve as a conduit for devices used in the neurovasculature.
Device Description
The Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter is a coaxial-lumen, braid-reinforced, variable stiffness catheter with a radiopaque markerband on the distal end and bifurcated Luer hub on the proximal end. A semi-compliant balloon is flush mounted on the distal end. During use, the balloon may be inflated to temporarily occlude blood flow, and the catheter lumen may be used to provide a conduit for passage of vascular devices. The design combines the features of a guide catheter with the features of a semi-compliant balloon catheter. Materials used in the Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter are manufactured from medical grade materials that are commonly used in the industry, are similar or identical to the predicate device, and have historically been demonstrated to be both biocompatible and suitable for this use.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a catheter) and its mechanical function, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is described as assisting in temporary occlusion of blood flow and serving as a conduit for other devices, which are functional roles, not directly therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a guide catheter with a balloon for temporary occlusion of blood flow and a conduit for other devices; its purpose is interventional, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with a balloon, radiopaque markerband, and Luer hub, indicating it is a hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter is a device used inside the body (in vivo) during a medical procedure. Its purpose is to temporarily block blood flow and provide a pathway for other devices within the neurovasculature.
  • Lack of Specimen Testing: The description does not mention the device being used to analyze any biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter is a surgical or interventional device, not an IVD.

Intended Use

The Penumbra Balloon Guide Cathcter is indicated for temporary occlusion of blood flow and to serve as a conduit for devices used in the neurovasculature. The indication statement of the Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.

Substantial Equivalence

The intended use, method of operation, methods of construction and materials used, are either identical or substantially equivalent to the existing, legally marketed, predicate device. Therefore, Penumbra believes the Penumbra Balloon Guide Catheter is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Testing

Bench testing, in vitro testing, and in vivo testing have been performed on the device materials, components, subassemblies, and final assemblies. The devices tested acceptably met the specifications.

Dear Ms. Brandner-Allen:

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.

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 r, 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 (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
