More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (microcatheter) and its performance characteristics, with no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states the device's intention to deliver "therapeutic agents such as occlusion coils." The "Device Description" also mentions its use for "therapeutic purposes."

No
The device description states it is for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, but its function is to assist in the delivery of agents, not to diagnose. The diagnostic agents are delivered by the device, but the device itself does not perform the diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical, tubular device (microcatheter) designed for insertion into the cardiovascular system, which is hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for assisting in the delivery of agents into the vasculature (peripheral, coronary, and neuro). This is an in vivo application, meaning it's used within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's designed for insertion into the cardiovascular system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnostic purposes.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose conditions, monitor treatments, or screen for diseases. This device is a delivery tool used directly within the body.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

The Micrus "Courier Pre-Shaped" microcatheters are substantially equivalent to the predicate device Micrus "Courier Straight" microcatheters in terms of design, materials. and function. They are both made of the same materials and coated with the same hydrophilic coating, they have the same shaft design with the same radiopaque markers: they have the same proximal and distal inner diameters and same outer diameters: the have the same effective shaft lengths. The Micrus Courier Pre-Shaped microcatheters have tips that are already shaped to either a 45° or 90° whereas the predicate Courier Straight microcatheters have straight tips. The tips of both types of microcatheters can be further steam-shaped by the physician at the time of use.

The Micrus "Courier Pre-Shaped" microcatheters are also substantially equivalent to the predicate device Boston Scientific Excelsior 1018 and SL-10 microcatheters (both of which have 90° tips) in terms of its ability to track through a tortuous path with minimal force. The Micrus "Courier Pre-Shaped" microcatheters had lower peak and lower average tension / compression than the predicate Excelsior 1080 and SL-10.

Conclusion:

Based upon the design, materials, function, intended use, comparison with currently marketed devices and the non-clinical testing performed by Micrus Endovascular Corporation, it is concluded that the Microcatheter, "Courier" with Pre-Shaped tip is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in safety and effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Lee:

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.
