Intended Use
The Enpath ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer is indicated for use in the percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters in the venous system.
Device Description
The Enpath ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer is a small diameter tubular shaped device with integrated proximal handles. The ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer is designed to provide a relatively atraumatic method for implanting catheters and pacemaker leads into the venous system while providing hemostatic sealing to venous pressures. The ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer has a "peel-away" feature common to the predicate device. This feature allows the user to remove the introducer without removing the inserted catheter or pacing lead. The ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer is packaged in a sterile 5-pack convenience kit containing a ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer, a thin-wall needle, a disposable syringe, and a flexible guidewire. The kit is packaged in a PETG tray with a Tyvek lid, and a sealed Tyvek/LDPE pouch. Introducer sizes of the sheath and dilator range from 7 French to 10.5 French. The materials and construction are the same for all French sizes. Enpath ViaSeal Valved Peelable Introducer kits will be packaged and ETO sterilized for one time use and sealed in a Tyvek/LDPE pouch.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of a peelable introducer kit, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is an introducer used for the insertion of other medical devices (pacing leads or catheters), rather than directly treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is an introducer used for inserting leads or catheters into the venous system, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, tubular-shaped device with handles, a peel-away feature, and is packaged with other physical components like a needle, syringe, and guidewire. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "percutaneous insertion of pacing leads or catheters in the venous system." This describes a surgical or interventional procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "tubular shaped device with integrated proximal handles" designed for inserting other devices into the venous system. This is a physical tool used in a medical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze such specimens.

The device is a medical device used for a procedural purpose, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Mr. Jenkins

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).
