Intended Use
PVA particles may be used for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular systems. They are intended for use in the endovascular management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and neoplastic lesions when presurgical devascularization is desirable.
Device Description
The subject devices are particles of nonabsorbable synthetic polyvinyl alcohol (Pva) foam. The devices do not contain any colorant or other additive, and are uncoated. Each is offered in a range of particle sizes, from which the clinician may select the particle size most appropriate for the desired effect and targeted vasculature. The devices are intended to be delivered to the selected anatomical site by means of a syringe, through an infusion catheter of appropriate diameter. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and are intended for single-use.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and delivery method of the PVA particles, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for vascular occlusion, specifically for arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and neoplastic lesions, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is described as "PVA particles" intended for "vascular occlusion of blood vessels" and "presurgical devascularization." This indicates a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states the device is made of "particles of nonabsorbable synthetic polyvinyl alcohol (Pva) foam," which are physical components intended for vascular occlusion. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body) to block blood flow.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical particle intended to be delivered into blood vessels.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis on biological samples.

The device described is a medical device used for embolization, a procedure performed directly on the patient's vascular system.

5.3 Predicate Devices

The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the following predicate devices:

  • Pva-Plus™ Foam Embolization Particles (Surgica Corp .; K001678) .
  • MaxiStat™ Pva Foam Embolization Particles (Surgica Corp .; K020033) .
  • MicroStat™ Pva Foam Embolization Particles (Surgica Corp .; K032619) .

5.4 Device Description

The subject devices are particles of nonabsorbable synthetic polyvinyl alcohol (Pva) foam. The devices do not contain any colorant or other additive, and are uncoated. Each is offered in a range of particle sizes, from which the clinician may select the particle size most appropriate for the desired effect and targeted vasculature. The devices are intended to be delivered to the selected anatomical site by means of a syringe, through an infusion catheter of appropriate diameter. The devices are provided sterile, non-pyrogenic, and are intended for single-use.

5.5 Intended Use

Modified Pva-Phus™, Modified MaxiStur™, and Modified MicroStat™ Pva Foam Embolization Particles may be used for vascular occlusion of blood vessels within the neurovascular system. They are intended for use in the endovascular management of arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and neoplastic lesions when presurgical devascularization is desirable.

5.6 Comparison to Predicate Devices

The subject devices differ from the predicate devices only in packaging configuration. The primary unit package form has been modified from that of the predicates to facilitate ease of use by the clinician, and the modification does not alter essential device design characteristics or indications for use. Specifically, the primary unit package has been changed from a sealed glass vial to a thermoformed blister with peel-off TYVEK® lid, and now includes the hydration/delivery syringe(s) necessary for administration of the devices. With respect to material composition, particle configuration and range of sizes offered, manufacturing, biocompatibility, how supplied, indications, and method of use, the subject devices are unchanged from the predicate devices.

5.7 Summary of Non-Clinical Tests

In that the modification that is the basis for this 510(k) submission impacts only the unit package configuration, non-clinical testing is restricted to that which verifies or validates sterility, and shelf life. All such tests conform to recognized standards.

5.8 Summary of Clinical Tests

(Not applicable)

Conclusions of Non-Clinical and Clinical Tests 5.9

The results of all testing demonstrated the substantial equivalence of the subject devices to the predicate devices.
