More Information

No
The summary describes a physical device that delivers RF energy and does not mention any software or algorithms that would incorporate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as creating an atrial septal defect in the heart to treat a medical condition, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as creating a septal defect and accessing the heart, infusing solutions, and sampling blood, which are interventional and therapeutic actions, not primarily diagnostic. While it can monitor pressures and sample blood, its core intended use is not solely for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile, single-use device that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy," indicating it is a physical 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 to create an atrial septal defect in the heart and for other procedures directly within the heart (transseptal access, monitoring pressures, sampling blood, infusing solutions). This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it is performed within a living organism.
  • Device Description: The device delivers radiofrequency energy to create a defect in the heart. This is a therapeutic or procedural device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) outside of the body for diagnostic information. The device's function is to perform a physical action within the heart.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device operates directly on the patient's heart.

Identification of Predicate Device

Predicate devices are the Toronto RF Septostomy Catheter (Baylis Medical Company, Inc.), which is cleared under 510(k) Premarket Notification Number K031949 and the Transseptal Needle/Trocar (Thomas Medical Products, Inc), which is cleared under the 510(k) Premarket Notification number K011727.

Device Description

The NRG Transseptal Needle is a sterile, single-use device that delivers radiofrequency (RF) energy to create an atrial septal defect in the heart.

Intended Use

Creation of an atrial septal defect in the heart. Secondary applications include transseptal heart access, monitoring intracardiac pressures, sampling blood, and infusing solutions.

1

Substantial Equivalence

The indications for use of the NRG Transseptal Needle are identical to the Toronto RF Septostomy Catheter. Both the devices are used in conjunction with the BMC Radio Frequency Perforation Generator (510(k) #: K013904) to create an atrial septal defect in the heart. Secondary applications include transseptal heart access, monitoring intracardiac pressures, sampling blood, and infusing solutions. The fundamental scientific technology of both these devices is also the same.

The indication for use of the NRG Transseptal Needle is substantially equivalent to the indication for use of the predicate Transseptal Needle/Trocar.

Device Testing

The NRG Transseptal Needle has been subjected to mechanical, electrical and simulated use bench testing to verify compliance with safety and performance requirements. The device will be validated for biocompatibility, sterilization and packaging.

Dear Ms. Khakar:

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
