Intended Use
The Bipore Accuflex™ Percutaneous Sheath Introducer is recommended for percutaneous introduction of various devices into arteries and/or veins for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
Device Description
The Bipore Accuflex™ Percutaneous Sheath Introducer is a flexible tube designed for the percutaneous introduction of various devices into arteries and/or veins for a variety of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. The product consists of a tube fabricated out of nylon based, flouropolymer lined material, reinforced by a flexible stainless steel wire within the tube. Proximally located on the flexible tube is an integral side port/hemostasis valve and/or female luer connection for attachment to a Touhy Borst adaptor. The side port, which provides a means of introducing contrast media or other fluids, is fabricated from non-DEHP PVC. The hemostasis valve is made from silicone rubber. The Touhy Borst adapter is a separate or connected component purchased from B.Braun. This purchased component is used in a manner consistent with B.Braun specification and premarket clearance. The proximal end contains a 24 karat gold radiopaque marker. The stainless steel coil enables the introducer to kink resistant during normal use. The proximal end may also contain a 45° to 180° radius bend. This pre-bend allows the product to be directed by transferring distal torque to steer the proximal tip. The reinforced tube, through which a vessel dilator or catheter is introduced is available in 5,6,7 and 8 French sizes and in lengths ranging from 5 cm to 110 cm.

No
The device description focuses on the physical components and materials of a percutaneous sheath introducer, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as an introducer for other devices used in diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, but it is not itself performing a therapeutic function.

No

The device is a sheath introducer, used to facilitate the introduction of other devices into arteries and/or veins for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. It is not itself performing a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details a physical medical device made of materials like nylon, fluoropolymer, stainless steel, PVC, and silicone rubber. It is a percutaneous sheath introducer, which is a hardware component used in medical procedures.

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 introduction of various devices into arteries and/or veins for diagnostic and therapeutic procedures." This describes a device used within the body to facilitate other procedures, not a device used to test samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical tube designed for insertion into blood vessels. It mentions components like a hemostasis valve, side port for fluid introduction, and radiopaque markers. These are all characteristics of an invasive medical device used for access, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any process related to diagnosing conditions based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Bipore Accuflex™ Percutaneous Sheath Introducer is a medical device used for vascular access, not an IVD.

Summary of Technical Characteristics as compared to the predicate device:

The proposed change modifies the exterior dimensions of hemostasis valve body by and adds additional size offerings to include lengths up to 110cm. The device may also contain an additional Polyethylene dilator for user convenience.

The proposed modification to the hemostasis valve improves the manufacturability of the device. This modification makes the device easier to handle by the user because of the reduction in bulk resulting by a change in length.

The slight increase in overall length to 110cm allows the device to be used with devices that require longer length sheaths.

The additional Polyethylene dilator improves the convenient use of the product when the user prefers a shorter or longer length dilator to accommodate patient anatomy.

Test results indicate that the modified product is in conformance with Bipore specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Dear Mr. Paluch:

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.
