The device description focuses on the physical components of the infusion system (catheters, sheaths) and their intended use for delivering agents to the kidneys. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended to facilitate targeted renal therapy (TRT) by delivering physician-specified agents to the kidneys via the renal arteries, which aims to prevent or mitigate iatrogenic kidney injury or treat acute kidney injury. This directly relates to addressing a medical condition.
No
The device is an infusion system designed to deliver agents to the kidneys, facilitating therapy rather than diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components including catheters, sheaths, and dilators, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device system.
Based on the provided information, the FlowMedica Benephit® Infusion Systems are not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- Benephit® Function: The Benephit® systems are described as infusion systems designed to deliver physician-specified agents directly to the kidneys via the renal arteries. This is an in vivo procedure, meaning it involves introducing a device into the living body for therapeutic purposes (delivering agents) and potentially diagnostic purposes (facilitating procedures).
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description does not mention the collection, preparation, or analysis of any biological specimens. The device's function is to deliver substances, not to test or analyze samples.
Therefore, the Benephit® Infusion Systems fall under the category of medical devices used for therapeutic and interventional procedures, not In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FlowMedica Benephit® Infusion Systems are intended to facilitate targeted renal therapy, or TRT®, the delivery of physician-specified agents to the kidneys via the renal arteries. The Benephit® Infusion Systems are indicated for use in patients undergoing medical, interventional, or surgical procedures, where the procedure carries an elevated risk of iatrogenic kidney injury for the patient. The Benephit® Infusion Systems are also indicated to facilitate TRT® in patients who have demonstrated symptoms of acute kidney injury, and in whom arterial catheterization for TRT® is feasible.

Device Description
The Benephit® family of infusion systems comprises the Benephit® CV, Benephit® PV, Benephit® PVMini, Benephit® PVSolo, and Benephit® XT systems. Each system includes a bifurcated infusion catheter and a vascular introducer sheath with dilator.
Each Benephit® Infusion System consists of a bifurcated infusion catheter and a vascular introducer sheath with dilator. The bifurcated infusion catheter in each of the Benephit® systems is a single-lumen infusion catheter with a bifurcated distal end that allows access to two locations (e.g., two renal arteries) for infusion simultaneously. Each system's introducer sheath is a PTFE-lined, coil reinforced polymer sheath with matching radiopaque dilator.
The Benephit® CV system comprises a 2.4 Fr. bifurcated infusion catheter, utilizing a nitinol hypo tube shaft, and an 8 Fr. compatible introducer sheath with a unique Y-hub design. The Y-hub allows for introduction of the bifurcated infusion catheter and another interventional vascular device (up to 6 Fr. OD) simultaneously. This allows for targeted renal therapy (TRT) to be performed in conjunction with another interventional procedure through a single vascular access.
The Benephit® PV, PVMini, PVSolo, and XT systems comprise a 4.8 Fr. bifurcated catheter utilizing a braid reinforced polymer shaft and a 5 Fr. compatible introducer sheath with a standard single hemostasis valve configuration. These systems provide a smaller vascular access to allow stand-alone TRT procedures or TRT in conjunction with non-interventional procedures (e.g., open surgery), or they may be used in conjunction with other interventional procedures via separate vascular access. In the case of the PVSolo uniquely, only a single infusion branch is active for infusion, allowing for TRT to a single renal artery when this is desired.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Benephit® systems covered in this submission are identical in design, materials, processing, and technological characteristics as their predicate devices, and as such are substantially equivalent in those regards. The proposed change in this submission is in the indications for use only. The change in label indications reflects specific settings for

the devices but does not alter their intended use, which is to provide targeted renal therapy, or TRT®. Because the intended use of the devices is not being changed, they are deemed substantially equivalent to their predicate devices.
SUPPORT FOR NEW INDICATION & SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
An evaluation of data gained through normal post-production monitoring and from a FlowMedica-sponsored post-market customer preference study provides support for the new indication proposed. These data show that the Benephit devices perform as intended, and are safe and effective for their intended use and for the new label indication as proposed. Thus the Benephit devices with the proposed label indication change are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
SUMMARY
The Benephit® CV, PV, PVMini, PVSolo, and XT Infusion Systems with modified indications for use as proposed here are substantially equivalent to their predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Elkins:
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.
