Intended Use
This catheter is recommended for Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty (PTV) of the pulmonary valve. - A patient with isolated pulmonary stenosis - A patient with valvular pulmonary stenosis with other minor congenital heart disease that does not require surgical intervention.
Device Description
The NuCLEUS-X catheter is a coaxial catheter for use in for Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty (PTV) for mitral and aortic position and centered angioplasty applications. The outer body is made of polymeric tubing, and the inner tubing is comprised of a multi layer extrusion of polyamide (Vestamid PA12) that surrounds a braid of 304 LV Stainless Steel. The catheter features a molded proximal end bifurcate with two distinct luminal passages. The inflation lumen terminates into a distally mounted balloon made of polyamide. The balloon is designed with a waist formed into the middle of the balloon to allow accurate balloon placement. Upon reaching a specified pressure, the waist will expand to the rated balloon diameter and dilate the valve to the rated diameter. The distal lumen terminates at the tip of the catheter and will accept the 0.035" guidewire. This lumen has 3 radiopaque platinum marker bands. One under each of the balloon shoulders and one located at the "waist" or center of the balloon for placement using fluoroscopy. The catheter is white in color and the balloon material is clear. The catheter is packaged in a polyethylene sheath and is double packed in two heat sealed Tyvek pouches.

No
The device description focuses on the mechanical components and materials of a balloon catheter for valvuloplasty, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The input imaging modality is fluoroscopy, which is a standard imaging technique, and there is no description of how this imaging data is processed by the device itself using AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a catheter designed for Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty (PTV) of the pulmonary valve, which is a medical procedure used to treat pulmonary stenosis. This directly involves treating a medical condition and restoring normal function, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device, NuCLEUS-X catheter, is intended for Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty (PTV), which is a therapeutic procedure to dilate a stenosed pulmonary valve, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with various material components (polymeric tubing, polyamide, stainless steel, platinum marker bands) and a balloon for dilation, indicating it is a hardware medical 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 for Percutaneous Transluminal Valvuloplasty (PTV) of the pulmonary valve. This is a therapeutic procedure performed directly on the patient's body to treat a medical condition (pulmonary stenosis).
  • Device Description: The device is a catheter with a balloon designed to physically dilate a valve within the body.
  • Function: The device's function is to mechanically open a narrowed valve.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) or to provide information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a therapeutic intervention.

Dear Ms. LaFlesh:

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. Iisting 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
