Intended Use
The Pajunk EpiLong anesthesia conduction kit is indicated for administration of epidural anesthesia. The Pajunk catheter is placed in the epidural space to facilitate a longer anesthetic effect. After the anesthesia conduction needle has been withdrawn from the patient, the catheter tip can remain in the epidural space for as long as determined by the professional anesthetist and the instructions for use (up to 72 hours). The Pajunk Loss of Resistance (LOR)-Syringe is intended for use in conjunction with an epidural needle, to verify the needle tip placement in the epidural space by the Loss of Resistance technique as explained in standard medical textbooks. These syringes are not intended for injection or aspiration. The Pajunk anesthesia conduction flat filter is a microporous filter used while administering to a patient injections of local anesthetics to minimize particulate (foreign material) contamination of the injected fluid. The Pajunk Tuohy Borst Adaptor is connected to the needle via Luer connector. It ensures sealing and fixation of the catheter end and allows attachment of a Luer Lock syringe or infusion device.
Device Description
Pajunk's EpiLong set is a single use, sterile, non-pyrogenic and latex free medical device kit. It is a epidural anesthesia kit consisting of a needle for insertion into the epidural space (a special Tuohy Cannula), a catheter for anesthesia administration to the epidural space, a flat filter as well as an adapter. After administration of immediate epidural anesthesia, the epidural catheter may be placed via the cannula into the epidural space. The cannula is then withdrawn, leaving the Epidural Catheter tip in the epidural space for as long as determined by the professional anesthetist and the instructions for use (up to 72 hours).
More Information

No
The description focuses on the physical components and intended use of a standard epidural anesthesia kit, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device facilitates the administration of an anesthetic, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is an epidural anesthesia kit used for administering anesthesia and facilitating its longer effect. While one component (LOR-Syringe) is used to verify needle placement, its primary function is not to diagnose a condition, but to ensure proper therapeutic administration.

No

The device description clearly outlines a kit containing physical components such as a needle, catheter, filter, and adapter, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Pajunk EpiLong anesthesia conduction kit is used for the administration of anesthesia directly into the epidural space of a patient. It is a device used in vivo (within the living body) for a therapeutic purpose (pain relief through anesthesia).
  • Lack of Sample Analysis: The device does not involve the collection or analysis of any biological samples from the patient to provide diagnostic information.

The device is clearly described as a kit for delivering medication and maintaining access to the epidural space, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment and intervention, not diagnosis.

The EpiLong kit provides a Tuohy Cannula with special tip through which the catheter is inserted directly in the epidural space for immediate administration of epidural anesthesia. The epidural catheter is placed for prolonged (up to 72 hours) administration of epidural anesthesia. Safety is optimized by the use of the fixation adapter, Tuohy-Borst adapter and flat filter provided in the kit.

Predicate Devices

The devices we claim substantial equivalence with is BBrauns Perifix K813186 (also included in BBrauns Espocan K932400).

The detailed discussion of substantial eqivalence can be found in Section 12 of this submission.

Sterilization

The contract sterilizer and the sterilizing process other than a company name change (was IBA Griffith Micro Science, and now is Sterigenics) is the same as that used for anesthesia conduction cannulae cleared for market by FDA under 510(k) number K040965 and Kit Products Pajunks Stimulong Plus Plexus Catheter K043130, K033018 Pajunks Plexolong Sets K042979, K023218, K013041.

Technology Characteristics:

The EpiLong kit provides a Tuohy Cannula with special tip through which the catheter is inserted directly in the epidural space for immediate administration of epidural anesthesia.

The epidural catheter is placed for prolonged (up to 72 hours) administration of epidural anesthesia. Safety is optimized by the use of the fixation adapter, Tuohy-Borst adapter and flat filter provided in the kit.

Conclusion:

The comparison between the predicate device and the proposed devices in section 12 of this submission demonstrates that the proposed devices are safe and effective, as well as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices

Dear Mr. Quass:

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); 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 (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
