Intended Use
The Pioneer catheter is intended to facilitate placement and positioning of catheters within the peripheral vasculature. The Pioneer catheter also provides an intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image of the area of interest to facilitate placement of guidewires beyond stenotic lesions (e.g., sub-total, total or chronic total occlusions) prior to additional intervention (i.e. PTCA, stent, etc.). The Pioneer catheter is not indicated for use in the coronary or cerebral vasculature.

More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a catheter with ultrasound imaging capabilities for facilitating guidewire placement. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced image processing that would suggest the use of such technologies. The submission focuses on clarifying indications for an existing device.

No
The device is used for guidance and imaging during interventions, specifically to facilitate placement of guidewires and provide ultrasound images, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No

The device is intended to facilitate the placement of other catheters and guidewires by providing imaging, not to diagnose a disease or condition. While it provides imaging, the imaging is for procedural guidance rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states "The Pioneer Catheter is designed to facilitate the placement and positioning of catheters within peripheral vasculature" and "The Pioneer Catheter also provides an intraluminal cross-sectional ultrasound image". This indicates a physical catheter and an ultrasound imaging component, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The Pioneer Catheter is a medical device used within the body (intraluminal) to facilitate the placement of other catheters and provide ultrasound imaging of the peripheral vasculature. It is an interventional device, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a procedure performed directly on the patient's vasculature, not a laboratory test on a biological sample.

Therefore, the Pioneer Catheter falls under the category of a medical device used for interventional procedures and imaging, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Dear Ms. Priestly:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 5, 2007.

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
