Intended Use
The AMPLATZER® TorqVue® Low Profile Delivery System is indicated to provide a pathway through which devices are introduced into the peripheral vasculature.
Device Description
The AMPLATZER TorqVue Low Profile Delivery System is a sterile, single-use device designed to facilitate the introduction of devices to a location within the peripheral vasculature. The catheter has a single lumen for passage of transvenous devices with maximum outer diameters of 4 and 5 French. The catheters will be provided in 60 cm and 80 cm usable lengths. The system includes the following components: • Delivery Catheter - used to deliver transvenous devices • Loader- used to help introduce the selected implantable device into the delivery catheter • Delivery Wire (optional) – attaches to the implantable device and facilitates advancement through the catheter, placement and, if desired, recapture of the specified implantable device. [If this surgical accessory (Product Code = DWS) is included, the labeling will specify compatibility with the appropriate implantable devices.] • Plastic Vise (included with delivery wire) – a handle that is attached to the Delivery Wire by means of a set screw • Hemostasis Valve- used on the proximal end of the Loader to minimize bleeding from the Delivery Catheter and for flushing air from the system

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical and functional aspects of a delivery system for introducing devices into the peripheral vasculature. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML technologies.

No
The device is described as a delivery system for introducing other devices into the vasculature, not as a device that delivers therapy itself.

No

This device is a delivery system designed to introduce other devices into the peripheral vasculature. Its function is to provide a pathway, not to diagnose.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as a delivery catheter, loader, delivery wire, plastic vise, and hemostasis valve, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide a pathway through which devices are introduced into the peripheral vasculature." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for delivering other medical devices.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter and associated components designed for navigating and delivering devices within blood vessels. This is consistent with an in vivo procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, tissue), detecting analytes, or providing information about a patient's health status based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely for facilitating the delivery of other devices within the body.

510(k) K072313, Reg. No. 870.1250; Product Code: DQY
Predicate Device Intended Use: The AMPLATZER®
TorqVue® Delivery System is intended to provide a
pathway through which devices are introduced within the
chambers and coronary vasculature of the heart or in the
peripheral vasculature.
Device Description:The AMPLATZER TorqVue Low Profile Delivery System
is a sterile, single-use device designed to facilitate the
introduction of devices to a location within the peripheral
vasculature.

devices with maximum outer diameters of 4 and 5 French.
The catheters will be provided in 60 cm and 80 cm usable

lengths. The system includes the following components:
Delivery Catheter - used to deliver transvenous devices
Loader- used to help introduce the selected implantable
device into the delivery catheter
Delivery Wire (optional) – attaches to the implantable
device and facilitates advancement through the catheter,
placement and, if desired, recapture of the specified
implantable device. [If this surgical accessory (Product
Code = DWS) is included, the labeling will specify
compatibility with the appropriate implantable devices.]
Plastic Vise (included with delivery wire) – a handle

screw
Hemostasis Valve- used on the proximal end of the
Loader to minimize bleeding from the Delivery
Catheter and for flushing air from the system
Intended Use:The AMPLATZER® TorqVue® Low Profile Delivery
System is intended to provide a pathway through which
devices are introduced into the peripheral vasculature.
Comparison to
Predicate Device:The AMPLATZER® TorqVue® Low Profile Delivery
System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device
cleared by K072313. The two systems are both handheld
catheter systems designed to facilitate access and
placement of specified implantable devices into the
peripheral vasculature. Both delivery catheters are single
lumen design with a hemostasis valve. The AMPLATZER
TorqVue Low Profile Delivery System was created from
the existing TorqVue Delivery System and only
incorporates modifications to the design and materials that
allow for the modified system to be manufactured in a 4
and 5 French size. The modifications have not altered the
fundamental scientific technology of the predicate device.
Test Data:Verification and validation testing confirms that the
functional characteristics of the AMPLATZER® TorqVue®
Low Profile Delivery Systems are substantially equivalent

Dear Mr. Bhushan:

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 he 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.

Pagc 2 - Mr. Rashmi Bhushan

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 forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics' (OSB) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at 240-276-3474. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at 240-276-3464.
