Intended Use
Spire Biomedical Inc's Decathlon Gold, Coated Twin Lumen Chronic Hemodialysis Catheter with separated funnel tips is designed for chronic hemodialysis and apheresis. It is a radiopaque polyurethane with a heparin coating, designed for percutaneous insertion or insertion via cutdown. The ability of the Carmeda® End point Bonded Heparin Coating to reduce clotting is supported by invitro testing. Catheters longer than 40cm are intended for femoral vein insertion.
Device Description
Spire Biomedical, Inc.'s 15.5Fr Decathlon Gold, Coated catheters are processed with a proprietary Carmeda® BioActive Surface (CBAS®) coating technology that attaches a functionally active heparin to the surfaces of the coating counteracts thrombus from forming on the catheter. Spire's 15.5Fr Decathlon Gold. Coated catheters are fully coated with CBAS® on the internal surface and on the external surface of the catheter body (from 2cm distal to the cuff to the ends of the distal tips; the cuff is not coated). The distal ends of this catheter have the arterial and venous tips rounded and "funneled" for easier over the wire insertion. It has one elliptical side hole placed on the distal ends of the arterial and venous lumens. A stylet will be preloaded in the arterial lumen for ease of guidewire placement. The coating is essentially non-leaching. Additionally, the maximum amount of heparin on the surface is only 1mg. Therefore; the effects of the entire coating on a patient's coagulation status would be insignificant.

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a catheter) with a heparin coating to reduce clotting. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI or ML.

No
The device is a chronic hemodialysis catheter, which is used for accessing the bloodstream during dialysis, a life-sustaining treatment, but the catheter itself is not directly therapeutic; it's an accessory to the therapeutic process.

No

This device is a chronic hemodialysis catheter, designed to facilitate treatment, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter made of polyurethane with a heparin coating, designed for insertion into the body. It is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "chronic hemodialysis and apheresis." These are procedures performed directly on the patient's body to filter blood or remove specific components.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter designed for insertion into a blood vessel (femoral vein) to facilitate these procedures.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned are "In-vitro blood loop testing" and "Catheter flows (bench testing)." While these involve testing with blood outside the body, the purpose is to evaluate the performance of the catheter itself in a simulated environment, not to diagnose a condition in a patient.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for medical purposes. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for therapeutic procedures.

Identification. A blood access device and accessories is a device intended to provide access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis or other chronic uses. When used in hemodialysis, it is part of an artificial kidney system for the treatment of patients with renal failure or toxemic conditions and provides access to a patient's blood for hemodialysis. The device includes implanted blood access devices, nonimplanted blood access devices, and accessories for both the implanted and nonimplanted blood access devices.(1) The implanted blood access device is a prescription device and consists of various flexible or rigid tubes, such as catheters, or cannulae, which are surgically implanted in appropriate blood vessels, may come through the skin, and are intended to remain in the body for 30 days or more. This generic type of device includes various catheters, shunts, and connectors specifically designed to provide access to blood. Examples include single and double lumen catheters with cuff(s), fully subcutaneous port-catheter systems, and A-V shunt cannulae (with vessel tips). The implanted blood access device may also contain coatings or additives which may provide additional functionality to the device.

510(k) Summary (Continued)

Device Description:

Spire Biomedical, Inc.'s 15.5Fr Decathlon Gold, Coated catheters are processed with a proprietary Carmeda® BioActive Surface (CBAS®) coating technology that attaches a functionally active heparin to the surfaces of the coating counteracts thrombus from forming on the catheter. Spire's 15.5Fr Decathlon Gold. Coated catheters are fully coated with CBAS® on the internal surface and on the external surface of the catheter body (from 2cm distal to the cuff to the ends of the distal tips; the cuff is not coated). The distal ends of this catheter have the arterial and venous tips rounded and "funneled" for easier over the wire insertion. It has one elliptical side hole placed on the distal ends of the arterial and venous lumens. A stylet will be preloaded in the arterial lumen for ease of guidewire placement.

The coating is essentially non-leaching. Additionally, the maximum amount of heparin on the surface is only 1mg. Therefore; the effects of the entire coating on a patient's coagulation status would be insignificant.

Product Claims:

As demonstrated in two in-vitro study, the proprietary End-Point Bonded Heparin Coating attachment mechanism anchors heparin molecules to both internal and external surfaces of the catheter while maintaining heparin's bioactive properties for a minimum of 90 days.1

Coating bioactivity was assessed in 90-day durability tests performed on coated catheters in saline. Surface-bound heparin bioactivity (in pmol/cm²) was assessed at each of seven regular intervals. Heparin bioactivity remained essentially constant throughout the test period, demonstrating that the coating's bioactive properties were maintained.

In-vitro studies have demonstrated that the coating reduces total thrombus accumulation by 51% compared to uncoated catheters. The coating was effective in mitigating both disturbed flow-mediated thrombosis (at the catheter tip) and fibrin sheath propagation (on the catheter shaft). '

The two-hour in-vitro thromboresistance study involved circulation of bovine blood through an outer loop, in which a coated or uncoated catheter was placed. Simultaneously, blood was circulated through the catheter at a constant flow rate. Three criteria were used to determine the effects of the coating in reducing thrombus formation: Pressure increase in the arterial lumen; visual evaluation of the catheters; and end point thrombus accumulation. Results show improved thromboresistance using each of these criteria for Decathlon Gold, coated catheters with funnel tips vs. uncoated catheters. End-point thrombus radiolabeled measurements showed an average of 51% reduction in thrombus accumulation for two hours for coated catheters.

Technological Characteristics Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The 15.5Fr Decathlon Gold, coated catheter with funnel tips is identical to the Coated Decathlon catheter (K060155) in physical characteristics, namely, materials of construction, dimensions, and the coating. The only difference is the distal tips, which are funneled for easier over the wire insertions.

The Carmeda® BioActive Surface (CBAS®) coating has been approved for the following legally marketed devices to which substantial equivalence is claimed:

    1. Spire Biomedical coated Decathlon (K060155)
    1. Medtronic Maxima cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (K925626 and K933586)
  • లో Diametrics Paratrend intravascular blood gas sensor catheter (K970906)
    1. Cordis Bx Velocity coronary stent (P900043/S024)

Performance Data:

The data from the coated Decathlon (K060155) were not duplicated for the Decathlon Gold with funnel tips since the materials of construction, the dimensions, and the coating are identical to the coated Decathlon with the exception of the distal arterial and venous tips. The following tests were conducted on the predicate device but are not repeated here:

  • . Stability (leaching) for 90 days
  • Durability testing (Accelerated aging for one year) .
  • Mechanical properties (Tensile strength)

The following additional tests were conducted on the Decathlon Gold catheters with funnel tips to demonstrate coating performance claims:

  • Two hour In-vitro blood loop testing. .
  • Catheter flows (bench testing)
