More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical performance of a drainage catheter, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for percutaneous biliary drainage, which is a medical procedure to remove bile from the biliary system, directly treating a medical condition.

No

A biliary drainage catheter is used to drain bile, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one. The "Intended Use" clearly states it is for "percutaneous biliary drainage."

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical catheter made of polyurethane with accessories like cannulas and a hub, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "percutaneous biliary drainage." This is a procedure performed directly on a patient to drain bile, not a test performed on a sample of bodily fluid or tissue outside the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical catheter designed for insertion into the biliary system. This is a therapeutic or interventional device, not a diagnostic reagent, instrument, or system used for testing samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device is used for a therapeutic procedure within the body.

§ 876.5010 Biliary catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.

Dear Dr. Estridge:

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 (Premarket Approval), 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.

Image /page/3/Picture/10 description: The image is a circular logo or emblem. The central element is the acronym "FDA" in a stylized font, with the word "Centennial" written below it. Above the acronym, the years "1906-2006" are displayed, indicating a centennial celebration. The entire design is encircled by text and star symbols, forming a complete circular seal.
