Intended Use
The Micrus Courier microcatheters are intended to assist in the delivery of diagnostic agents, such as contrast media, and therapeutic agents such as occlusion coils, into peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature.
Device Description
The Micrus Microcatheters consist of 4 major components: - A flexible shaft with a lubricious liner extruded from Teflon. The shaft is reinforced with stainless steel (coiled distally and braided proximally). The outer shaft jacket is made from Pebax and nylon Grilamid L25). - An atraumatic distal flexible tip containing two radiopaque marker bands. The marker bands are useful in tracking catheter tip position and during placement of detachable embolic coils. - A standard luer hub insert, which is molded onto the flexible shaft. - A hydrophilic coating (Hydromer), which covers the distal 100 centimeters of the Microcatheters.

No
The document describes a physical medical device (microcatheter) and its components, without mentioning any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The performance studies focus on physical properties and equivalence to a predicate device.

Yes

The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" explicitly states that the device is intended to assist in the delivery of "therapeutic agents such as occlusion coils."

No

The device is intended to assist in the delivery of diagnostic agents, but it is not itself a diagnostic device. It is a microcatheter designed for agent delivery, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components like a flexible shaft, distal tip, luer hub, and hydrophilic coating, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to deliver diagnostic and therapeutic agents into the body (peripheral, coronary, and neuro vasculature). IVDs are used to examine specimens from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into blood vessels. This is consistent with a medical device used for delivery, not for analyzing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any of the typical components or processes associated with in vitro diagnostics.

The device is a medical device used for interventional procedures within the body.

Micrus Courier Microcatheters Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.1200 Regulation Name: Catheter Intravascular, Diagnostic Regulatory Class: II Product Code: DQO Dated: March 31, 2006 Received: April 4, 2006

Dear Ms. Webber:

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.

Page 2 - Ms. Margaret Webber

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 (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
