Intended Use
The CROSSER System is indicated in coronary arteries to facilitate the intra-luminal placement of conventional guidewires beyond chronic total occlusions.
Device Description
The CROSSER System consists of a re-usable electronic Generator, Foot Switch, high frequency Transducer, and single-use CROSSER 14 Catheter. The CROSSER 14 Catheter is connected to the electronic Generator through the Transducer. The Foot Switch is used to activate the system. The Generator and Transducer convert AC power into high frequency mechanical vibrations which are propagated through a Nitinol core wire to the stainless steel tip of the CROSSER 14 Catheter. The main body of the catheter is constructed from Pebax and a hydrophilic coating which covers the distal 90cm of the catheter.

No
The description focuses on mechanical vibration and power conversion, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functions.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device's intended use is to facilitate the placement of guidewires, which is a diagnostic/interventional aid, not a treatment itself.

No

The device is designed to facilitate the placement of guidewires beyond chronic total occlusions, which is an interventional procedure, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to physically cross an occlusion, not to gather information about the condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components including a generator, foot switch, transducer, and catheter.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to facilitate the placement of guidewires in coronary arteries to cross chronic total occlusions. This is a procedure performed within the body (in vivo), not on samples taken from the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The device description details a system designed to physically interact with and manipulate structures within the coronary arteries using mechanical vibrations. This is characteristic of an interventional medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the CROSSER System is an interventional medical device used for a therapeutic procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies

Physical Test Data: Design analysis, bench, and biocompatibility testing were conducted according to the relevant guidance documents to demonstrate that the FlowCardia CROSSER System met the acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate device. In addition to dimensional verification, the following functional tests were performed: Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torqueability, Tip Flexibility, Coating Adherence/Integrity, Biocompatibility, Bench top Simulated Efficiency, Catheter Fatigue Testing. Shelf Life and Package Integrity Testing.
Clinical Test Data: In addition to the physical test data above, clinical study of the FlowCardia CROSSER System demonstrated substantially equivalent safety and effectiveness.

Predicate Device

Safe Cross Radio Frequency Total Occlusion Crossing System manufactured by Intraluminal Therapeutics, Inc. (K032031)

Device Description

The CROSSER System consists of a re-usable electronic Generator, Foot Switch, high frequency Transducer, and single-use CROSSER 14 Catheter. The CROSSER 14 Catheter is connected to the electronic Generator through the Transducer. The Foot Switch is used to activate the system. The Generator and Transducer convert AC power into high frequency mechanical vibrations which are propagated through a Nitinol core wire to the stainless steel tip of the CROSSER 14 Catheter. The main

body of the catheter is constructed from Pebax and a hydrophilic coating which covers the distal 90cm of the catheter.

Technological Characteristics

The FlowCardia CROSSER System is substantially equivalent to the Intraluminal Therapeutics (ILT) Safe-Cross System in intended use. The design (or mode of operation) of the Safe-Cross Wire is similar to the CROSSER 14 Catheter in that it is intended to be delivered through standard coronary guide catheters to a vascular occlusion and then used to facilitate recanalization of the obstruction. Both have roughly the same working length (146cm vs. 175cm) and are designed to be compatible with standard percutaneous techniques and equipment. The devices are constructed from commonly used catheter materials and coated with a hydrophilic material for increased lubricity. Their radiopaque tips are used to visualize their location within the body.

The Safe-Cross and the CROSSER System both use an energy source to facilitate placement of devices beyond total occlusions. The Safe-Cross System uses RF energy for this purpose versus the CROSSER System which utilizes high frequency vibration. Despite the differences in both energy source and construction materials the intended and method of use are substantially equivalent.

Physical Test Data

Design analysis, bench, and biocompatibility testing were conducted according to the relevant guidance documents to demonstrate that the FlowCardia CROSSER System met the acceptance criteria and performed similarly to the predicate device. In addition to dimensional verification, the following functional tests were performed: Tensile Strength, Torque Strength, Torqueability, Tip Flexibility, Coating Adherence/Integrity, Biocompatibility, Bench top Simulated Efficiency, Catheter Fatigue Testing. Shelf Life and Package Integrity Testing.

Clinical Test Data

In addition to the physical test data above, clinical study of the FlowCardia CROSSER System demonstrated substantially equivalent safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion

Based upon device physical and clinical comparisons the CROSSER System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
