Intended Use
Chaperon Guiding Catheter is intended for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. Chaperon Guiding Catheter can be used to facilitate introduction of diagnostic or therapeutic devices. Chaperon Guiding Catheter is not intended for use in coronary arteries.
Device Description
The Chaperon Guiding Catheter system is designed to advance interventional and diagnostic devices through the vasculature. The device is intended for general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature. The Chaperon Guiding Catheter is a two-catheter system comprised of the outer catheter and the inner catheter. The Chaperon Guiding Catheter system can be used individually with 0.035 in or a 0.038 in guidewire or together with the Inner Catheter to access the desired anatomy.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical guiding catheter and its mechanical properties, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is a guiding catheter used to facilitate the introduction of other diagnostic or therapeutic devices, not a therapeutic device itself.

No

The device is a guiding catheter used to facilitate the introduction of other diagnostic or therapeutic devices, rather than performing a diagnostic function itself.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical catheter system comprised of an outer and inner catheter, which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on physical properties and performance of the catheter.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Chaperon Guiding Catheter is for "general intravascular use, including the neuro and peripheral vasculature" and to "facilitate introduction of diagnostic or therapeutic devices." This describes a device used within the body to access and deliver other devices, not a device used to test samples outside the body to diagnose conditions.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter system designed to advance devices through the vasculature. This aligns with an interventional or access device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), performing tests on these samples, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

In summary, the Chaperon Guiding Catheter is a medical device used for accessing and navigating within the body's vascular system, which is not the function of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Job:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 11, 2008.

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 (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.

3

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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 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 continue 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 Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (240) 276-3150 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsma/dsmamain.html
